Match each function with the corresponding function formula when h(x)=5-3x and g(x)=-3+5
Grace [21]

Answer:

k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem we will substitute h(x) and g(x) in k(x) in the

  right column to find the corresponding function formula in the

  left column

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

- Lets start with the right column

# k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 3g(x) = 3[-3^x + 5] = [3 × -3^x + 3 × 5]

- Lets simplify 3 × -3^x

 take the negative out -(3 × 3^x), and use the rule a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)

∴ -3(3 × 3^x) = -(3^x+1)

∴ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 5h(x) = 5[5 - 3x] = [5 × 5 - 5 × 3x] = 25 - 15x

- Now substitute 3g(x) and 5h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x+1 + 15 + 25 - 15x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

* k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

# k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∵ 5h(x) = 25 - 15x

∵ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 25 - 15x - (-3^x+1 + 15) = 25 -15x + 3^x+1 - 15 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

* k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

# k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 5 - 3x - (-3^x + 5) = 5 - 3x + 3^x - 5 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

* k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

# k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x + 5 + 5 - 3x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 - 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 10 - 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

* k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

# k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 5g(x) = 5[-3^x + 5] = [5 × -3^x + 5 × 5] = 5(-3^x) + 25

∴ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 3h(x) = 3[5 - 3x] = [3 × 5 - 3 × 3x] = 15 - 9x

- Now substitute 5g(x) and 3h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -5(3^x) + 25 + 15 - 9x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x ⇒ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

* k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

# k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∵ 3h(x) = 15 - 9x

∵ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 15 - 9x - [-5(3^x) + 25] = 15 - 9x + 5(3^x) - 25 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10 ⇒ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

* k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

a force of 2 pounds is needed to stretch a spring 8 inches.what force is required to stretch the spring 16 inches
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Four (4) pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we required two (2) pounds to stretch the spring eight (8) inches, we need double the force to stretch it sixteen (16) inches. Sixteen is just double the original amount, meaning we need four (4) pounds to stretch the spring sixteen inches.

Hope this helps!
