The sum of two integers is 121. The larger integer is 7 more than twice the smaller integer. Find the two integers.

1 answer:

5 0

X + (2x + 7) = 121 : Write the expression.
3x + 7 = 121 : Combine like terms.
3x + 7 - 7 = 121 - 7 : Isolate x.
3x = 114 : Combined like terms.
3x / 3 = 114 / 3 : Find the value of x.
x = 38 : This is the smaller integer.
(2x + 7) = (2(38) + 7) = 76 + 7 = 83. : Find the value of the larger number by plugging in the value of x to the larger number's quantity.
The larger number is 83, and the smaller number is 38.

$\sqrt{12}$
enters the irrational number category.

Integers numbers are the numbers without decimals between -infinity and infinity.

Natural numbers are the whole numbers from 1 to infinity.

Whole numbers are natural numbers + 0.

If the parent function f(x) = x^2 is fatter translated 11 units to the left, then translated 5 units down, write the resulting f

nikklg [1K]

The quadratic function given by:

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, \ \ \ a\neq 0$

is in vertex form. The graph of $f$ is a parabola whose axis is the vertical line $x=h$ and whose vertex is the point $(h, k)$ . So:

To translate the graph of a function to the right, left, upward or downward we have:

$For \ a \ positive \ real \ number \ c. \ \mathbf{Vertical \ and \ horizontal \ shifts} \\ in \ the \ graph \ of \ y=f(x) \ are \ represented \ as \ follows:\\ \\ \bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{upward}: \\ g(x)=f(x)+c \\ \\ \bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{downward}: \\ g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ \mathbf{right}: \\ g(x)=f(x-c) \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ \mathbf{left}: \\ g(x)=f(x+c)$

By knowing this things, we can solve our problem as follows:

FIRST.

Translating 11 units to the left:

$g(x)=f(x+11) \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x+11)^2$

Then translating 5 units down:

$g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x+11)^2-5$

Since the new function is fatter, the factor we need to multiply the term $(x+11)^2$ must be less than 1, to make the graph fatter. So, according to our options, there are two factors 1/2 and 2.

Therefore, the right answer is b. f(x) = 1/2(x + 11)^2 - 5

SECOND.

Translating 8 units to the right:

$g(x)=f(x-8) \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x-8)^2$

Then translating 1 unit down:

$g(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=(x-8)^2-1$

As explained in the previous case, there are two factors 1/3 and 3, so we choose the first one.

Therefore, the right answer is a. g(x) = 1/3(x - 8)^2 - 1
