A) By the rules of secants,
5(x +5) = 6(6 +4)
x + 5 = 12
x = 7

b) 3(3 +5) = 4(x +4)
6 = x +4
2 = x

Answer:

a) x = 7

b) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x + 5 ) = 6 ( 6 +4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

5 x + 25 = 36 + 24

⇒ Simplify

5 x + 25 = 60

⇒ Minus 25 from both sides to isolate 5 x

5 x = 35

x = 7

3 ( 3 + 5 ) = 4 ( x + 4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

9 + 15 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Simplify

24 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Minus 16 from both sides to isolate 4 x

8 = 4 x

⇒ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

2 = x

29,700 / 12 =$2,475 per month.

Multiply his monthly pay by 7%:

2,475 x 0.07 = $173.25 into his 401(k) per month.

Which statement best describes how to determine whether f(x) = 9- 4x4 is an odd function?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: In the given function the power of x should be 2 instead of 4, otherwise all options are incorrect.

Consider the given function is

$f(x)=9-4x^2$

If $f(-x)=f(x)$ , then $f(x)$ is an even function.

If $f(-x)=-f(x)$ , then $f(x)$ is an odd function.

Now, substitute x=-x in the given function.

$f(-x)=9-4(-x)^2$

$f(-x)=9-4(x)^2$

$f(-x)=f(x)$

So, the given function not an odd function. It means it is an even function.

To check whether the given function is odd, we have to determine whether $9-4(-x)^2$ is equivalent to $-(9-4(x)^2)$ .

Therefore, the correct option is C.
