Answer:

$2.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution method:

.20(2.50, 4.95, 6.00)

(0.50, 0.99, 1.20)

Now add them up.

Non-distribution method:

$2.50 x .20 = 0.50

$4.95 x .20 = 0.99

$6.00 x .20 = 1.20

Add them up

The functions g and h are given by g(x) = x + 1 and h(x) = x²
Delvig [45]

Answer:

x = - \frac{3}{2} , x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find h(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into h(x) , that is

h(g(x))

= h(x + 1)

= (x + 1)²

= x² + 2x + 1

For h(g(x)) = 3x² + x - 5 , then

3x² + x - 5 = x² + 2x + 1 ← subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides

2x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - \frac{3}{2}

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function describes a straight line with constant gradient. Hence A is the answer as it has a constant gradient of -1 .

C is wrong as it has an increasing gradient.

D is wrong as it does not have a constant gradient too.

The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?
MAXImum [283]
Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.

"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"

To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.

Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".

So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.

To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.

So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.

Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.

So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x

To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x

We are now left with:
x = 3.75

Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.

I hope this helps!
