Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = -20x^2 +14x +12 and

g(x) = 5x - 6

We need to find f/g and state its domain.

f/g = -20x^2 +14x +12/5x - 6

Taking -2 common from numerator:

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 7x - 6) / 5x -6

Factorize 10x^2 - 7x - 6= 10x^2 - 12x +5x -6

Putting in the above equation

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 12x +5x -6)/ 5x -6

f/g = -2(2x(5x-6) + 1 (5x-6)) / 5x-6

f/g = -2 ( (2x+1)(5x-6))/5x-6

cancelling 5x-6 from numerator and denominator

f/g = -2(2x+1)

f/g = -4x -2

The domain of the function is set of all values for which the function is defined and real.

So, our function g(x) = 5x -6 and domain will be all real numbers except x = 6/5 as denominator will be zero if x=5/6 and the function will be undefined.

So, Option B is correct.

ANSWER

-4x-2; all real numbers except x=6/5

Option B is correct.

EXPLANATION

The given functions are:

$f(x) = - 20 {x}^{2} + 14x + 12$

We factor to get,

$f(x) = - 2(10 {x}^{2} - 7x - 6)$

Split the middle term:

$f(x) = - 2(10 {x}^{2} + 5x - 12x - 6)$

$f(x) = - 2(5x(2{x} + 1)- 6(2x + 1))$

$f(x) = - 2(2{x} + 1)(5x - 6)$

and

$g(x) = 5x - 6$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{ - 20x + 14x + 12}{5x - 6}$

where 5x-6≠0

x≠6/5

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{- 2(2{x} + 1)(5x - 6)}{5x - 6}$

Cancel the common factors to get,

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = - 2(2{x} + 1)$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = - 4{x} - 2$

Eric has 1 5/9 cups of yogurt to make smoothies.Each smoothie uses 1/3 of a cup of yogurt.What is the maximum number of smoothie

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Maximum number of smoothies that Erica can make with the yogurt is 5

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that Eric has $1\frac{5}{9}$ cups of yogurt to make smoothie

Each smoothie uses $\frac{1}{3}$ of a cup of yogurt

To find: maximum number of smoothies that Erica can make with the yogurt

Let 'n' be the number of smoothies that Erica can make with the available yogurt

number of smoothies that Erica can make with the yogurt is calculated by divinding the total available cups of yogurt by cups of yogurt needed for one smoothie

Therefore we get:

$n=\frac{\text { total available cups of yogurt }}{\text { cups of yogurt needed for one smoothie }}$

total available cups of yogurt = $1\frac{5}{9} = \frac{9 \times 1 +5}{9} = \frac{14}{9}$

cups of yogurt needed for one smoothie = $\frac{1}{3}$

Substituting the values in above formula we get,

$\begin{aligned}&n=\frac{\frac{14}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\&n=\frac{14}{9} \times \frac{3}{1}=\frac{14}{3}=4.66 \approx 5\end{aligned}$

Thus maximum number of smoothies that Erica can make with the yogurt is 5

lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/4 = 3.25

3 2/7 = 3.29

3.29>3.25

3.31>3.29

3.36>3.31

so the answer is D.

Question 1

The angles 52 degrees match up. So if the sides are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

Notice how 8/12 = 18/27 is a true equation. So the sides are in proportion to one another.

Therefore, the triangles are similar. I used the SAS similarity theorem.

================================================================

Question 2

Let's find the missing angle of the triangle on the right. For now, make that missing angle to be x.

Rule: For any triangle, the three angles always add up to 180

x+70+32 = 180

x+102 = 180

x = 180-102

x = 78

The missing angle of the triangle on the left is 78 degrees

Repeat for the other triangle as well

y+78+32 = 180

y+110 = 180

y = 180-110

y = 70

Both triangles have the angles 32, 70, 78 in whatever order you wish.

Since the angles match up like this, the triangles are similar because of the AA Similarity theorem

Technically, we only need 2 pairs of congruent angles at minimum. But having 3 congruent pairs doesn't hurt either.

================================================================

Question 3

We have a pair of congruent 54 degree angles shown. There's another pair of angles at the very top that overlap (aka shared angles).

Since we have two pairs of congruent angles, the two triangles are similar.

This time we use the AA Similarity theorem

================================================================

Question 4

Let's divide the longest side of the bottom triangle by the longest side of the triangle on top

48/32 = 1.5

Now let's divide the shortest sides of each triangle in the same order

36/24 = 1.5

Repeat for the middle-most sides

45/30 = 1.5

We get the same linear scale factor 1.5 each time. Therefore, the triangles are similar due to the SSS Similarity theorem

================================================================

Question 5

Any angle is equal to itself due to the reflexive property. So that will go for reason number 2.

Reason 3 is SAS similarity because we have the sides in proportion (statement 1) and the angles are congruent (statement 2).

Justin is 2 years older than one third Marcella’s age. Aimee is 5 years younger than 2 times Justin’s age. Define a variable and

KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J = (1/3)M + 2 <=== ur expression would be : (1/3)M + 2

A = 2J - 5

if marcella is 63....

J = (1/3 * 63) + 2 A = 2J - 5

J = 63/3 + 2 A = 2(23) - 5

J = 21 + 2 A = 46 - 5

J = 23 <== justin's age A = 41 <=== Aimee's age
