Nut Mix Michael and Kevin return to the candy store, but this time they want to purchase nuts. They can't decide among peanuts,

cashews, or almonds. They again agree to create a mix. They bought 2.5 pounds of peanuts for $1.30 per pound, 4 pounds of cashews for $4.50 per pound, and 2 pounds of almonds for $3.75 per pound. Determine the price per pound of the mix.

2.5x1.30=3.25
4x4.50=18
2x3.75=7.5
3.25+18+7.5=$28.75 total price
2.5+4+2=8.5lb. total weight
28.75/8.5= 3.38 dollars per pound.

<u>Reduce:</u>

Here we gave to simplify the expressions:

9) $x^{2}+7x+\frac{12}{x^{2}}+11x+28$

Grouping similar terms:

$(x^{2}+\frac{12}{x^{2}})+(18x+28)$

Applying common factor $x^{2}$ in the first parenthesis and common factor $2$ in the second parenthesis:

$x^{2}(1+\frac{12}{x^{4}})+2(9x+14)$ This is the answer

11) $y^{3}+\frac{27}{y^{2}}+2y-3$

Rearranging the terms:

$(y^{3}+2y)+(\frac{27}{y^{2}}-3)$

Applying common factor $y$ in the first parenthesis and common factor $3$ in the second parenthesis:

$y(y^{2}+2)+3(\frac{9}{y^{2}}-1)$ This is the answer

<u>Multiply:</u>

19) $(\frac{12a^{9}u^{7}}{15 c})(\frac{3c^{4}}{21a^{13 u^{8}}})$

Multiplying both fractions:

$\frac{36 a^{9}u^{7}c^{4}}{315 c a^{13}u^{8}}$

Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 and simplifying:

$\frac{12 c^{3}}{105 c a^{4}u}$ This is the answer

21) $(x-\frac{3}{x}-7)(x^{2}-9x+\frac{35}{x^{2}}-18)$

$(\frac{x^{2}-3-7x}{x})(\frac{x^{4}-9x^{3}+35-18x^{2}}{x^{2}})$

Operating with cross product:

$x^{2} (x^{2}-3-7x) x(x^{4}-9x^{3}+35-18x^{2})$

$x^{9} -9x^{8} -18x^{7}+35x^{5}-7x^{8} +63x^{7}+126x^{6}-245x^{4}-3x^{7}+27x^{6}+54x^{5}-105x^{3}$

Grouping similar terms and factoring:

$x^{9}-2(8x^{8}+21x^{7} )+153x^{6}+89x^{5}-5(49x^{4}+21x^{3})$ This is the answer

<u>Divide:</u>

29) $\frac{\frac{k^{6}}{x^{2}}}{\frac{2k^{4}}{3x^{6}}}$

$\frac{3k^{6}x^{6}}{2x^{2}k^{4}}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{3}{2} k^{2}x^{4}$ This is the answer

33) $\frac{\frac{x+5}{x+1}}{\frac{x^{2}+11x+30}{x^{2}+3x+2}}$

$\frac{(x+5)(x^{2}+3x+2)}{(x+1)(x^{2}+11x+30)}$

Factoring numerator and denominator:

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+6)(x+5)}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{x+2}{x+6}$ This is the answer

37) $\frac{\frac{x-10}{x+13}}{\frac{x^{3}-1000}{x^{2}+15x+21}}$

$\frac{(x-10)(x^{2}+15x+21)}{(x+13)(x^{3}-1000)}$

Applying the distributive property in numerator and denominator:

$\frac{x^{3}+15x^{2}+21x-10x^{2}-150x-210}{(x+13)(x^{4}-1000x+13x^{3}-13000)}$

Grouping similar terms and factoring by common factor:

$-\frac{5x(x^{2}-129)(x^{2}-42)}{1000x^{3} (x+13)(x-13)}$

Dividing by $5$ in numerator and denominator and simplifying:

$-\frac{(x^{2}-129)(x^{2}-42)}{200x^{2}(x+13)(x-13)}$ This is the answer

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x + 2?

jeka57 [31]

Y=x+2 solve for x and then reverse labels...

y-2=x so

y=x-2

f^-1(x)=x-2 is the inverse of f(x)=x+2

Graph f(x) =x and g(x) =-1/3x+2

Serjik [45]

Hello! I'll write the instructions to graph these functions.

f(x)=x
Technically, this function is y=x, so the slope would be 1. To graph this one, start at the origin (0,0) and move up one unit, and to the right one unit since this is a positive slope.

g(x)= -1/3x+2
First, plot a point at y=2 when x=0. 2 is your y-intercept. Your slope is negative, so the line will be decreasing. From your first point, head down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. Continue plotting points from the previous points.

Also, if you have a graphing calculator, here are the steps to graphing the functions: ON, Y= (enter your functions), and press GRAPH or 2nd, TABLE to see individual points. Hope this helps! :)
