Let's say that in the beginning he weighted x and at the end he weighted x-y, y being the number of kg he wanted to loose.
first month he lost
y/3
then he lost:
(y-y/3)/3
this is
(2/3y)/3=2/9y
explanation: ((y-y/3) is what he still needed to loose: y minus what he lost already
and then he lost
(y-2/9y-1/3y)/3+3 (the +3 is his additional 3 pounts)
(y-2/9y-1/3y)/3-3=(7/9y-3/9y)/3+3=4/27y+3
it's not just y/3 because each month he lost one third of what the needed to loose at the current time, not in totatl
and the weight at the end of the 3 months was still x-y+3, 3 pounds over his goal weight!
so: x -y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=x-y+3
we can subtract x from both sides:
-y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=-y+3
add everything up:
-19/27y=-y+6
which means
-19/27y=-y+6
y-6=19/27y
8/27y=6
4/27y=3
y=20.25
so... that's how much he wanted to loose, but he lost 3 less than that, so 23.25
ps. i hope I didn't make a mistake in counting, let me know if i did. In any case you know HOW to solve it now, try to do the calculations yourself to see if they're correct!
The correct answer is ten times as much.
When we look at decimals, each place closer to the decimal point is ten times greater. The first 6 is in the hundreths place and the second one is one spot further away. As a result, the first is 10 times as much as the second.
Sorry can't include the graphs, just subsitute y for f(x) and graph by subsituting values
so domain is the set of numbers you are allowed to use
range is the set of number you get from inputing the numbers from the domain into the function
so normally the domain is all real numbers
you must exclude number from the domain that make mathematical undifined impossible stuff exg dividing by zero so
not sure about the ranges so I will leave that out
a. denomenator is x-2
cannot be zero
x-2=0
add 2
x=2
domain: all real numbers except for 2
b. x+2=deomenator
x+2=0
subtract 2
x=-2
x acannot be -2
domain: all real numbers except for -2
c
x cannot be 0
domain: all real numbers except for 0
d. x cannot be -1
domain: all real numbers except for -1
e: x cannot be a negative number or 0
domain: all real numbers greater than zero
f: x cannnot be -2
domain: al real numbers except -2
g: x cannot be 0
domain: all real number except 0
h: x cannot be zero
domain: all real numbers except 0
i: x cannot be 1
doman: all real number except 1
j: 5x-2=0
add 2
5x=2
divide 5
x=2/5
x cannot be 2/5
domain: all real numbers except for 2/5
In the second equation you are given what Y equals, which is (-5x - 3). You would use this equation and plug it into the y value given in the first equation where it says 2y and solve
That would be
3x - 2(-5x - 3) = -6
3x + 10x + 6 = -6
3x + 10x = -6 - 6
13x = -12
X = -12/13
Then if you want to solve for Y you can use any equation and plug in the x-value found.
I’m going to use equation 2.
Y = -5x - 3
Y = -5(-12/13) - 3
Y = 4.615 - 3
Y = 1.615
(-12/13, 1.615)
Therefore the x-value is -12/13 and the y-value is 1.615.
