<em><u>Correct steps are shown</u></em>

<em><u>Correct simplified expression is:</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that: Mara simplifies the expression</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Correct steps are:</u></em>

From given,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Use the distributive property,</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + bc

Therefore,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x +3y + 2x + 8

Group the like terms

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x + 2x + 3y + 8\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

Thus the expression is simplified

Find (F/g)(x)<br> F(x) = sqrt x^2-1<br> g(x) sqrt x-1
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Option A. √(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

f(x) = √(x² – 1)

g(x) = √(x – 1)

(f/g) (x) =..?

(x² – 1) => difference of two square

(x² – 1) => (x – 1)(x + 1)

f(x) = √(x² – 1)

f(x) = √(x – 1)(x + 1)

(f/g) (x) = f(x) /g(x)

f(x) = √(x – 1)(x + 1)

g(x) = √(x – 1)

(f/g) (x) = √(x – 1)(x + 1) / √(x – 1)

(f/g) (x) = √[(x – 1)(x + 1) / (x – 1)]

(f/g) (x) = √(x + 1)

Use the relationships between the angles to find the value of x (please answer)
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 15 \degree = 102 \degree \:  \\ (corresponding \:  \angle s) \\  \therefore \: x =  102 \degree -  15 \degree  \\  \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x =  87 \degree}}

A country's population in 1994 was 182 million. In 2002 it was 186 million. Estimate the population in 2004 using the exponentia
iogann1982 [59]
\bf =ae^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;1994\impliedby \textit{year 0, starting point}\\&#10;t=0\qquad P=182&#10;\end{cases}\implies 182=ae^{k0}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;182=a\cdot e^0\implies 182=a\cdot 1\implies 182=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;thus\qquad P=182e^{kt}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf P=182e^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;2002\impliedby \textit{8 years later}\\&#10;t=8\qquad P=186&#10;\end{cases}\implies 186=182e^{k8}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{186}{182}=e^{8k}\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=ln(e^{8k})\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=8k&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)}{8}=k\implies 0.0027\approx k\implies \boxed{P=182e^{0.0027t}}

what's the population in 2004?  well,  from 1994 to 2004 is 10 years later, so t = 10

plug that in, to get P for 2004
