Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this exercise it is important to remember the multiplication of signs. Notice that:
In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:
Where the variable is "j".
When you multiply signs, you get:
Now you need to identify that like terms and then you need to add them (or combine them). So, applying this procedure you get that the simplified form of the expression is the shown below:
As you can observe, you get a 2nd degree binomial.
Answer: c ax + b = ax+ b
Step-by-step explanation: Seems like a trick question, especially since Answer c has no c in the equation. But once you put in numbers for a,b,and c, there cannot be infinite solutions for x in the first two examples.
Set up two or three equations and test them as proof.
Answer:
a)
i) we have the equation:
3*x - 2*y
We want to find a common multiple of 3 and 2.
One can be:
3*6 = 18
2*9 = 18
And both numbers 6 and 9 are on the list, then if we take:
x = 6, y = 9
we get:
3*6 - 2*9 = 18 - 18 = 0
The solution is x = 6, y = 9.
ii) The greatest possible value of:
3*x - 2*y
Will be when x is the largest value of the list (because it is on the positive term) and y is the smallest value on the list (because it is on the negative term)
then we need to have x = 10, y = 5
The value will be:
3*10 - 2*5 = 30 - 10 = 20
iii) Now we want to have the smallest value on x, and the largest one on y, then:
x = 5, y = 10
The smallest value of the equation will be:
3*5 - 2*10 = 15 - 20 = -5
B) We want to solve:
5*(a - 4*b)
when:
a = -7
b = 1/4
This is kinda easy, we just need to replace the variables in the equation to get:
5*(a - 4*b) = 5*(-7 - 4*(1/4)) = 5*(-7 - 4/4) = 5*-8 = -40
Answer:
f(x) * g(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hours worked per week = 45 hours
Weekly salary = $850 plus ;
3.5% commission on sales above $6,500
Given the functions :
f(x) = 0.035x and
g(x) = x - 6,500
and the fact that Joe’s dad sold enough this week to earn commission, which composition function represents Joe’s dad’s commissions ?
Commission = 3.5 / 100 = 0.035
Let his sales for the week = x ; since his sales exceeds 6,500
Hence, sales on which commission is payable is x - 6,500
Hence, commission for the week :
0.035 × (x - 6,500)
f(x) = 0.035 ; g(x) = (x - 6,500)
Composition function:
f(x) * g(x)
