Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)
A ----------------B-----------C
We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).
With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC
So,
3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9
7x - 4 = 8x - 9
5 = x
The answer to this would be complementary angles.
You weren't clear on the equation so I did it both ways. It didn't really matter though because both equations had the same answer. ♀️
We need to know the function that models the difference in the number of customers visiting the two stores.
We know the function that models the number of customers in the cafeteria
W (x) = 0.002x3 - 0.01x2
We also know the function that models the number of customers who visit the ice cream parlor
R (x) = x2 - 4x + 13
Therefore the difference, D (x), in the number of customers visiting the two stores is:
D (x) = W (x) - R (x)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - (x ^ 2 -4x +13)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 + 4x -13
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 1.01x ^ 2 + 4x -13
