15 * 15 * 15 * 500 = 1,687,500. it's different from finding 45 * 500 because
15 * 15* 15 * 500 is the same as writing it as 15^3 * 500. This meaning you multiply the number 15 by itself 3 times, not add it 3 times, which is what
45 * 500 was showing. I hope this helped.
Answer:
{2, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find x for ...
15 = 4|x -5| +3
12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3
3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4
±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value
5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5
The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
Both can be right because if the function goes up, turns and goes down, between x = -2 and x = 2, it can happen that f(-2) = f(2) and then the average rate of change is [f(2) - f(-2)] / [2-(-2)] which is 0/4 = 0.
You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5
Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75
So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!
