I need help! Jeff sold half of his comic book collection. Two years later he decides to start collecting again. After buying 12

comics, he now has a total of 35. Write and solve an equation for x as the number of comics Jeff had before he sold half of them.

The function representing the price of the ring x years after 2000 is f(x) = (100 + 35)/100 *x + 590 = 135/100 *x + 590 = 1.35x + 590

Match each function with the corresponding function formula when h(x)=5-3x and g(x)=-3+5
Grace [21]

Answer:

k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem we will substitute h(x) and g(x) in k(x) in the

  right column to find the corresponding function formula in the

  left column

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

- Lets start with the right column

# k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 3g(x) = 3[-3^x + 5] = [3 × -3^x + 3 × 5]

- Lets simplify 3 × -3^x

 take the negative out -(3 × 3^x), and use the rule a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)

∴ -3(3 × 3^x) = -(3^x+1)

∴ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 5h(x) = 5[5 - 3x] = [5 × 5 - 5 × 3x] = 25 - 15x

- Now substitute 3g(x) and 5h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x+1 + 15 + 25 - 15x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

* k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

# k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∵ 5h(x) = 25 - 15x

∵ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 25 - 15x - (-3^x+1 + 15) = 25 -15x + 3^x+1 - 15 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

* k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

# k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 5 - 3x - (-3^x + 5) = 5 - 3x + 3^x - 5 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

* k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

# k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x + 5 + 5 - 3x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 - 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 10 - 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

* k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

# k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 5g(x) = 5[-3^x + 5] = [5 × -3^x + 5 × 5] = 5(-3^x) + 25

∴ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 3h(x) = 3[5 - 3x] = [3 × 5 - 3 × 3x] = 15 - 9x

- Now substitute 5g(x) and 3h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -5(3^x) + 25 + 15 - 9x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x ⇒ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

* k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

# k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∵ 3h(x) = 15 - 9x

∵ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 15 - 9x - [-5(3^x) + 25] = 15 - 9x + 5(3^x) - 25 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10 ⇒ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

* k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope- intercept </u><u>form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is in the slope-intercept form and hence we can easily identify its slope by looking at the coefficient of x.

y= 2x +7

slope= 2

Parallel lines have the same slope, thus the slope of the parallel line is also 2.

Substitute m= 2 into the general equation:

y= 2x +c

Substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation to find the value of c:

When x= 3, y= 11,

11= 2(3) +c

11= 6 +c

c= 11 -6

c= 5

Therefore the equation of the line is y= 2x +5.
