Answer:

x=1.714285714 or x=1.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 8 to x and 8 (8x+64)

Get rid of -13x on the other side of the equation by doing +13x to both sides.

That should leave you with 21x+64=100.

Subtract 64 from both sides of the equation.

21x=36

Divide 21 from both sides which will leave you with the answer as a long decimal so round it.

x=1.71

Answer:

estimated gpa: 2.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate y=0.14x+0.75 at x = 15 (hours):

y = 0.14(15 hours) + 0.75

= 2.1 + 0.75

y = 2.85 = estimated gpa corresponding to 15 houirs of study

H(x) = 4x - 2; Find h(a+b)

mart [117]

Answer:

4a + 4b - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate h(a + b) , substitute x = a + b into h(x), that is

h(a + b) = 4(a + b) - 2 = 4a + 4b - 2

Х- а<br>x-b<br>If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b<br>Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)

GenaCL600 [577]

Given:

Consider the given function:

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}$

To prove:

$f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)$

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}$

Substituting $x=a$ , we get

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}$

$f(a)=0+a$

$f(a)=a$

Substituting $x=b$ , we get

$f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}$

$f(b)=b+0$

$f(b)=b$

Substituting $x=a+b$ , we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}$

Using the algebraic formula, we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}$ $[\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]$

$f(a+b)=b+a$

$f(a+b)=a+b$ [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

$LHS=f(a)+f(b)$

$LHS=a+b$

$LHS=f(a+b)$

$LHS=RHS$

Hence proved.
