ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:

b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.
Answers
1. X= -4
2. X=9
3. X= 15/4 or 3.75
4. X=2
answer is [0,11)
f(x) = x+4 is the first function
We plug in -4 for x in f(x) = x+4
f(-4) = -4 + 4 = 0
So the graph starts at (-4,0)
Now plug in 3 for x in f(x) = x+4
f(3) = 3 + 4 = 7
So the first function ends at (3,7)
Second function is f(x) = 2x - 1
We plug in 3 for x in f(x) = 2x-1
f(3) =2(3)-1 = 5
So the second graph starts at (3,5)
We plug in 6 for x in f(x) = 2x-1
f(6) =2(6)-1 = 11
So the second graph ends at (6,11)
3<=x<6 so 6 is excluded from x
The range of the following piece wise function is 0 to 11
answer is [0,11)
One cylinder has two bases and one side, and the side is a rectangle.
So S = 2*base + side
S = 2* (pi*27^2) + (2*pi*27*37) = 3456pi
<h3><u>Fraction to Decimal:</u></h3>
Divide the numerator (upper number) by the denominator (bottom number) on your calculator. Whatever number you get would be your decimal.
<h3><u>Decimal to Percent:</u></h3>
Take your decimal and use your calculator to multiply it by 100. Whatever number you get would be your percent. However, since it is a percent, you need to include the percentage unit.
<h3><u>Demonstration:</u></h3>
1/4 = 0.25
0.25 * 100(%) = 25%
