Answer:

Dont think eh multiplied both sides by 4. That would be the first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(x+12)=2

multiply both sides by 4

x+12=8

move the 8 to the right side of the equation and change its sign

x=8-12

calculate

x= -4

Answer:

He didn't multiply 1/4 between both terms in the brackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(x+12)=2

1/4x+3=2

Angelina wins money in a competition. She is given the choice as to how she is paid.
NISA [10]

Answer:

  • Choice 1
  • 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You are being asked to compare the value of a growing infinite geometric series to a fixed constant. Such a series will always eventually have a sum that exceeds any given fixed constant.

__

<h3>a)</h3>

Angelina will get more money from the Choice 1 method of payment. The sequence of payments is a (growing) geometric sequence, so the payments and their sum will eventually exceed the alternative.

__

<h3>c)</h3>

For a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 2, the sum of n terms of the geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . . . . . . series with first term a1, common ratio r

We want to find n such that ...

  Sn ≥ 1,000,000

  1 × (2^n -1)/(2 -1) ≥ 1,000,000

  2^n ≥ 1,000,001 . . . . add 1

  n ≥ log(1,000,001)/log(2) . . . . . take the base-2 logarithm

  n ≥ 19.93

The total Angelina receives from Choice 1 will exceed $1,000,000 after 20 days.

7. Identify a horizontal or vertical stretch or compression of the function f(x)=√x by observing the equation of the function g(
Effectus [21]

It is a vertical stretch.

<h3>What is functions?</h3>

A function in mathematics from a set X to a set Y allocates exactly one element of Y to each element of X. The sets X and Y are collectively referred to as the function's domain and codomain, respectively. Initially, functions represented the idealized relationship between two changing quantities.

Given

To solve this problem you must apply the procedure shown below:

1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:

f(x) = √x

2. And you have the function g(x) = √3x

3. By definition, if you have the function y = ax and |a| > 1 it is a vertical stretch.

4. Therefore, you have that:

|a| = √3

√3 > 1

Therefore the answer is: It is a vertical stretch.
