Answer:

The answer to your question is: 35 questions worth 2 points and 15 questions worth 3 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Number of questions = 50

Total points = 115

x = questions worth 2 points

y = questions worth 3 points

Process

write to equations

(1)  ---------------    x + y = 50

(2) --------------    2x + 3y = 115

Solve them by substitution

           x = 50 - y

         2 (50 - y) + 3y = 115

          100 - 2y + 3y = 115

           3y -2 y = 115 - 100

                     y = 15

           x = 50 - 15

            x = 35

lutik1710 [3]
Given:
f(x) = 4x² + 1
g(x) = x² - 5

Then
(f + g)(x) = 4x² + 1 + x² - 5
              = 5x² - 4

Answer: 5x² - 4

What is the area of the shaded region?
jolli1 [7]

Hello!

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2 />

\boxed{ \bf The~area~of~the~shaded~region~is~B.~24 mm^2}

______________________________________________________

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

To find the area of the shaded region, we must find the area of the inner white triangle and subtract it from the area of the outer blue one.

Outer:

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

A =  \frac{1}{2}(12 · 5)

A =  \frac{1}{2}(60)

A = 30 mm²

Inner:

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

A = \frac{1}{2}(4 · 3)

A = \frac{1}{2}(12)

A = 6

30 - 6 = 24

Lim x-&gt;-5(((1)/(5)+(1)/(x))/(10+2x))=<br><br>correct answer 1/10x = -1/50<br><br>explain:
slava [35]

Given:

The limit problem is:

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{x}}{10+2x}

To find:

The value of the given limit problem.

Solution:

We have,

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{x}}{10+2x}

It can be written as:

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{x+5}{5x}}{2(5+x)}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{x+5}{5x}\times \dfrac{1}{2(5+x)}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{5x\times 2}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}

Applying limit, we get

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}=\dfrac{1}{10(-5)}

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}=\dfrac{1}{-50}

Therefore, the value of given limit problem is -\dfrac{1}{50}.
