Elimination is used when there is a common factor between the two equations. Substitution is used in cases where finding a common term just isn’t possible, or too complicated.

Given the function h(x), determine the functions which correctly decompose h(x) into component functions f(x) and g(x) so that h

nataly862011 [7]

$\text{Hi there! :)}$

$\large\boxed{g(x) = 7x + 2\text{ , } f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10}$

$\text{h(x) = f(g(x)), so determine what g(x) was substituted into f(x):}\\\\\text{Given the equation } h(x) = \sqrt{7x +2}- 10:\\\\\text{In the part of the equation with a variable, we see that "7x + 2" is in a square root:}$

$\text{Therefore, we can say that g(x) = 7x + 2:}\\\\\text{If h(x) = f(7x + 2), then f(x) must be:}\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

$\text{The respective functions would be:}\\\\g(x) = 7x + 2\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

A particular isotope has a half-life of 74 days. If you start with 1 kilogram of this isotope, how much will remain after 150

shtirl [24]

$\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}$

$\bf \stackrel{300~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &300\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{300}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.060202}$

For a craft project, two equilateral triangles are taped together to create a quadrilateral. what is the quadrilateral? rhombus

pantera1 [17]

The answer is Rhombus because it is two equilateral triangles that can create a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral has exactly four sides and it is also a polygon. A rhombus has four equal sides and it is any parallelogram with equal sides including a square. A rhombus is like a diamond. In your question, the craft project that has a two equilateral triangle that tapes together and creates an equilateral, I picture it as a diamond and the diamond is including in the family of a rhombus. All side have equal length, opposite side is parallel and the other opposite angles are equal.
