Answer:

$\bold{268=225+}l$

43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total points scored in basketball season, T = 268

Points scored from right handed shots, R = 225

Points scored from left handed shots = $l$

To find:

To write an equation to describe the situation and find the value of $l$ for left handed shots ?

Solution:

We know that the points can be scored in basketball either by right hand shots or by left hand shots.

In other words, we can say that:

Total points scored in basketball season = points scored from right handed shots + points scored from left handed shots

i.e.

$T = R + l\\\Rightarrow \bold{268=225+}l$

So, the equation is:

$\bold{268=225+}l$

Now, let us find the value of $l$ from the above equation:

$l=268-225\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 43}$

Number of points scored from left handed shots = <em>43</em>

1)The graph of the function y = 4x does not pass through the origin.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The correct options are:

Option B) $4^x$ is never zero.

Option F) When x=0, y≠0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$y=4^x$

When we substitute x=0 in above function we get:

$y=4^{0}$

$y=1$

When we substitute x=-1 in above function we get:

$y=4^{-1}$

$y=0.25$

When we substitute x=1 in above function we get:

$y=4^{1}$

$y=4$

The above function is exponential function which does not pass through the origin and the range of the function is a positive number.

The graph of the function is shown in figure 1.

Now consider the provided options.

Option A) $4^x$ is always greater than or equal to 1.

The option is incorrect as the value of the function is less than 1 for negative value of x.

Option B) $4^x$ is never zero

The option is correct.

Option C) When y=0, x=0

The option is incorrect.

Option D) When x=0, y=4

When x=0 the value of y is 1.

Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option E) $4^x$ is zero when x=0

When x=0 the value of $4^x$ is 1.

Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option F) When x=0, y≠0

The option is correct as 0≠1.

(a) $x^{-5}$

(b) $3x^{-7}$

(c) $$\frac{4}{3}x^4$

Solution:

To write each of the given expression in the form $ax^n$ :

(a) $\frac{x^3}{x^8}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$\frac{x^3}{x^8}=x^{3-8}$

$$\frac{x^3}{x^8}=x^{-5}$

(b) $\frac{6x}{2x^8}$

Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 2, we get

$$\frac{6x}{2x^8}=\frac{3x}{x^8}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$=3x^{1-8}$

$$\frac{6x}{2x^8} =3x^{-7}$

(c) $\frac{28x^6}{21x^2}$

Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 7, we get

$$\frac{28x^6}{21x^2}=\frac{4x^6}{3x^2}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$=\frac{4}{3}x^{6-2}$

$$\frac{28x^6}{21x^2}=\frac{4}{3}x^4$

Sweet T purchased a new pair of pants to wear to the battle of the bands on sale at 40 % off . He saved $20 . What was the regul

monitta

Hey there!

The answer is $50 because $20 is 40%, so times that by 2 which you get $20 and 80%. Then you divide 20 by 2 then you get 10 which is 20% so you add 10 and you get $50 which is 100%
