Answer:

110 red bricks she add in order to double the total number of bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

Kali builds a tower using only red, green, and blue toy bricks in a ratio of 4:3:1.

The original ratio of red, green and blue is 4x, 3x and x

the total of the original is 4x+3x+x=8x

She then removes 1/2 of the green bricks

she remove \frac{3}{2}x

adds 1/3 more blue bricks

x+\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{4}{3}x

The total of new is 4x+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{4}{3}x=\frac{41}{6}x

size is reduced by 14 bricks

total of original - total of new = 14

8x -\frac{41}{6}x=14

\frac{7}{6}x=14

multiply both sides by 6/7

x= 12

original number of bricks = 8x = 8 times 12= 96

total of new bricks =  \frac{41}{6}(12)=82

Double the original number = 2 \cdot 96 = 192

the number of red bricks needs to add is

192-82=110

110 red bricks she add in order to double the total number of bricks

given,

amount she deposited in bank = $450

amount get automatic deducted each month for her gym membership = $35.20

So, amount of money will left at the end of 4 months = 4 × 35.20 = $140.8

What is the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = 3x^2 + x - 4 / x-1
7nadin3 [17]
Ans: Option (1) <span>Discontinuity at (1, 7), zero at ( negative four thirds , 0) 
</span>
Explanation:
Given function:
f(x) =  \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1}

Now if we plug in the x = 1, we would have discontinuity as function goes to infinity.

Now for f(1):
f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{x(3x+4)-1(3x+4)}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{(x-1)(3x+4)}{(x-1)} \\ f(x) = 3x+4 \\ now ~ insert ~ x=1: \\ f(1) = 3(1) + 4 = 7 \\ It~means~discontinuity~at~(1,7).\\ Now~let~us~find~zeros.\\ put~ f(x) = 3x+4 ~ equals~ to ~zero. \\ =\ \textgreater \ ~3x+4 = 0 \\ =\ \textgreater \  ~ x =  \frac{-4}{3} \\ Hence~zeros=(  \frac{-4}{3}, 0)
