Answer:

x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4

Subtract x from both sides:

1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4

-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:

-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4

x - x = 0:

1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4

Subtract 1.2` from both sides:

(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

1.2 - 1.2 = 0:

-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:

-1.3 x = -2.6

Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:

(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:

x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:

Answer: x = 2.

Answer:

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

h(x) = f(x) + g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x) h(x) = f(x) - g(x)h(x)=f(x)−g(x)

h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}h(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

h(x) = f(g(x))h(x)=f(g(x))

And many more.

The approach or formula to use depends on the question.

In this case, the combined function is:

f(x) = 75+ 10xf(x)=75+10x

The savings function is given as

s(x) = 85s(x)=85

The allowance function is given as:

a(x) = 10(x - 1)a(x)=10(x−1)

The new function that combined his savings and his allowances is calculated as:

f(x) = s(x) + a(x)f(x)=s(x)+a(x)

Substitute values for s(x) and a(x)

f(x) = 85 + 10(x - 1)f(x)=85+10(x−1)

Open bracket

f(x) = 85 + 10x - 10f(x)=85+10x−10

Collect like terms

mark as brainiest

f(x) = 85 - 10+ 10xf(x)=85−10+10x

f(x) = 75+ 10xf(x)=75+10x

Sam read 20% of the book on Monday and 0.2 of the book on Tuesday. If he read 50% of the remainder on Wednesday and still had 36

KonstantinChe [14]

Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.

Find the surface area of the surface given by the portion of the paraboloid z=3x2+3y2 that lies inside the cylinder x2+y2=4. (hi

natta225 [31]

Parameterize the part of the paraboloid within the cylinder - I'll call it $S$ - by

$\mathbf r(u,v)=\langle x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v)\rangle=\left\langle u\cos v,u\sin v,3u^2\right\rangle$

with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ . The region's area is given by the surface integral

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=2}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\displaystyle\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\int_{u=0}^{u=2}u\sqrt{1+36u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\displaystyle2\pi\int_{u=0}^{u=2}u\sqrt{1+36u^2}\,\mathrm du$

Take $w=1+36u^2$ so that $\mathrm dw=72u\,\mathrm du$ , and the integral becomes

$=\displaystyle\frac{2\pi}{72}\int_{w=1}^{w=145}\sqrt w\,\mathrm dw$
$=\displaystyle\frac\pi{36}\frac23w^{3/2}\bigg|_{w=1}^{w=145}$
$=\dfrac\pi{54}(145^{3/2}-1)\approx101.522$
