Answer:

The answer is -6 but its not in the option

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ {x}^{2} - 1 }{ x  + 1}

Let x = -5

[(-5)²-1]/(-5+1)

= (25-1)/(-4)

= 24/-4

= -6

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 mill
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain.

i.e. if V stands for volume of oil, then

V' =kV\\dv/V= kdt\\ln V = kt+C\\V = Ae^{kt}

To find A and k

V(0) = A = 3 million

Hence V = 3e^{kt}

V(6) = 1.5

i.e. 1.5 = 3e^{6k}\\ln 1.5 =ln 3 +6k\\k = -0.11552

V(t) = 3e^{-0.11552t}

a) Using the above value of k , we have

V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year.

Type the correct answer in the box. x y 3 10 20 In the table, the relation (x, y) is not a function if the missing value of x is
yan [13]

The relation is <em>not a function</em> if any x-value is repeated.

Assuming you have

(x, y) = (3, 10), (__, 20)

if x = 3, the relation is not a function.

Suppose it takes 4 hours for a certain strain of bacteria to reproduce by dividing in half. If 70 bacteria are present to begin
Sauron [17]

Answer:

1 day: 4480

2 days: 8960

3 days: 13440

f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}} ---- function inverse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 70 \cdot 64x

Solving (a): The amount present after 1 day.

Here, x =1

So:

f(1) = 70 \cdot 64*1= 4480

Solving (b): The amount present after 2 days.

Here, x =2

So:

f(2) = 70 \cdot 64*2= 8960

Solving (c): The amount present after 3 days.

Here, x = 3

So:

f(3) = 70 \cdot 64*2= 13440

Solving (d): The inverse function of:

f(x)= 4x^2 + 4

Replace f(x) with y

y= 4x^2 + 4

Swap x and y

x= 4y^2 + 4

Rewrite as:

4y^2 = x -4

Divide by 4

y^2 = \frac{x -4}{4}

Take square roots

y = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}}

Replace y with function inverse

f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x -4}{4}}
