you can transform 4x + 12 = 9x - 3 again into a simpler form by subtracting 4x form both sides to get 12 = 5x - 3, if you subsit

Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.

12 = 5(3) - 3    

12 = 15 - 3

12 = 12  

So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .

Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.

4x + 12 = 9x -3  

-4x           -4x

 12 = 5x -3  

+3           +3

15 = 5x  

x = 3

A) The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over times, x measured in
Brums [2.3K]

From the given linear function, we have that:

A. The function is constant on the following interval: B.2 ≤ x ≤ 5.

B. The function is increasing on the following interval: A.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

C. The function is decreasing the fastest on the following interval: D.5 ≤ x ≤ 6.

D. The justification for the previous item is: D.5 ≤ x ≤ 6 is the interval where the slope is the steepest.

<h3>When a function is constant?</h3>

A function is constant when it's graph is an horizontal line, hence in this problem the function is constant for two intervals.

  • 2 ≤ x ≤ 5.
  • 10 ≤ x ≤ ∞.

Hence, in item A, option B is correct.

<h3>When a function is increasing?</h3>

A function is increasing on the intervals that y is increasing while x increases, that is, the function is moving right and up.

Hence, in item B, option A is correct.

<h3>When a function is decreasing?</h3>

A function is decreasing on the intervals that y is decreasing while x increases, that is, the function is moving right and down.

The decrease is faster when the division of the change in the output by the change in the input has the lower value(greater absolute negative).

Hence:

  • In item 3, option D is correct.
  • In item 4, option D is correct.

The formula for computing compound interest for a principal P that is invested at an annual rate r and compounded annually is gi
maria [59]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • r ≈ 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for r when n=2, we have ...

  A=P(1+r)^2\\\\\dfrac{A}{P}=(1+r)^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}=1+r\\\\\boxed{r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}-1}

For the given values of A and P, the value of r is ...

  r=\sqrt{\dfrac{5600}{5000}}-1=\sqrt{1.12}-1\approx 1.0583-1\\\\\boxed{r\approx 6\%}

The equation for the cost in dollars of producing computer chips is y =.000015x^2-.03x+35. Where x is the number of chips produc
Anna35 [415]
In order to find the number of chips that would result in the minimum cost, we take the first derivative of the given equation. Note that the derivative refers to the slope of the graph at a given point. We can utilize this concept knowing that at the minimum or maximum point of a graph, the slope is zero. 

Taking the derivative of the given equation and equating it to zero, we have:

y' = (0.000015)(2)x - (0.03)x° + 0
0 = (0.00003)x - 0.03

Solving for x or the number of chips produced, we have x = 1000. We then substitute this value in the given equation, such that,

y = (0.000015)(1000)² - (0.03)(1000) + 35

The minimized cost, y, to produce 1000 chips is then calculated to be $20.
