Answer

Find out the how many women were there .

To prove

Let us assume that the x is the scalar multiple of men and women.

As given

The ratio of men to women was 3 : 2.

Than

The total number of men = 3x

The total number of women = 2x

As given

If 120 men used the gym.

thus

120 = 3x

$x = \frac{120}{3}$

x = 40

The total number of women = 2 × 40

= 80

Therefore 80 women were there in the gym .

The answer is 120 : 80, so there is 80 women.

3/2 is equal to 120/80.

Which statement describes the inverse of m(x) = x^2 – 17x?

DochEvi [55]

Given:

The function is

$m(x)=x^2-17x$

To find:

The inverse of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

$m(x)=x^2-17x$

Substitute m(x)=y.

$y=x^2-17x$

Interchange x and y.

$x=y^2-17y$

Add square of half of coefficient of y , i.e., $\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2$ on both sides,

$x+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2$

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=\left(y-\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$ $[\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}=y-\dfrac{17}{2}$

Add $\dfrac{17}{2}$ on both sides.

$\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}+\dfrac{17}{2}=y$

Substitute $y=m^{-1}(x)$ .

$m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}$

We know that, negative term inside the root is not real number. So,

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2\geq 0$

$x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$

Therefore, the restricted domain is $x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$ and the inverse function is $m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}$ .

Hence, option D is correct.

Note: In all the options square of $\dfrac{17}{2}$ is missing in restricted domain.

2. Solve each given equation and show your work. Tell whether each equation has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, o

Brut [27]

Hello!

To solve algebraic equations, we need to use SADMEP. SADMEP is an acronym used only solve for x in algebraic equations. SADMEP is expanded to be: subtraction, addition, division, multiplication, exponents, and parentheses.

(a) 4 + 2(-1) = 10 + 2 (multiply)

4 + -2 = 10 + 2 (add)

2 = 12

This equation has no solutions because 2 is never equal to 12.

(b) 30 = 10 - (6 + 10) (simplify the parentheses)

30 = 10 + -1(16) (multiply)

30 = 10 - 16 (simplify)

30 = -6

This equation has no solutions because 30 and -6 is never equal to each other.

8x = 4x + 4x + 10(x - x) (simplify [add and subtract])

8x = 8x + 10(0) (multiply)

8x = 8x

This equation has an infinite number of solutions because if you substitute any value into the original equation, both sides of the equation will be always equal.
