Answer:

x = -1 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get everything to one side of the equation so it's set equal to zero..

-x² + 4x = x - 4 becomes...

-x² + 3x + 4 = 0 (subtract x and add 4 to both sides)

x² - 3x - 4 = 0 (divide both sides by -1, we want the x² term to be positive)

(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0 (factor)

x - 4 = 0, then x = 4

and

x + 1 = 0, then x = -1

A retailer buys cases of 24 shirts for $30/case and then resells them in packs of 5 for $8/pack. If the retailer sold all the sh

Karolina [17]

We have been given that a retailer buys cases of 24 shirts for $30/case and then resells them in packs of 5 for $8/pack.

Further, we know that retailer sold all the shirts he purchased and profited $84 on the sale.

Let us first find LCM of 24 and 5. The LCM is 120.

Now, let us assume that the retailer bought 120x shirts. Therefore total profit will be:

$\text{Profit=}(24x)(8)-(5x)(30)\\\text{Profit=}192x-150x\\\text{Profit=}42x\\$

We can set this equal to the given profit to figure out the value of x first.

$42x=84\Rightarrow x=2$

Therefore, the retailer sold 120(2)=240 shirts, that is, 48 packs.

If h(x)=(fog)(x) and h(x) = sqrt x+5, find g(x) if f(x) = sqrtx+2

Katen [24]

Answer: The value of g(x) is x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$h(x)=f\circ g(x)$

Here,

$h(x)=\sqrt{x+5}\\\\and\\\\f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

We need to find the value of g(x):

$f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}\\\\f(g(x))=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\h(x)=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\\sqrt{x+5}=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\x+5=g(x)+2\\\\g(x)=x+5-2=x+3$

Hence, the value of g(x) is x+3.

What is the inverse of the function f(x)= x +3

pshichka [43]

Hello,

if f(x)=y=x+3

x=y+3==>y=x-3

f^(-1) (x)=x-3 is the inverse function of f(x).
