Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2(4) - 4y = 20
8 -4y = 20
8-8 -4y = 20 - 8
-4/-4y = 12/-4
y = -3
Answer:
- <u><em>The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012. </em></u>
Explanation:
<u>Rewrite the table and the choices for better understanding:</u>
<em>Enrollment at a Technical School </em>
Year (x) First Year f(x) Second Year s(x)
2009 785 756
2010 740 785
2011 690 710
2012 732 732
2013 781 755
Which of the following statements is true based on the data in the table?
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 732.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2011.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 710.
<h2>Solution</h2>
The question requires to find which of the options represents the solution to f(x) = s(x).
That means that you must find the year (value of x) for which the two functions, the enrollment the first year, f(x), and the enrollment the second year s(x), are equal.
The table shows that the values of f(x) and s(x) are equal to 732 (students enrolled) in the year 2012,<em> x = 2012. </em>
Thus, the correct choice is the third one:
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.
Answer:
C. (5x - 1)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a factoring problem by hand, the common steps to solve would be the "AM" method, or (Add-Multiply). Simply stated, finding what adds to the x-coeficient and what multiplies to the constant. In this case, what adds to 39(x) and what multiplies to 8. Just reading that, we can see that there aren't any numbers that can do that, so we have to improvise. Set up the problem equal to something that it can factor into:
- <em>Multiply the 5 and -8</em> = -40: <em>this is what we will factor</em>
- <em>The factors with add to 39 are 40 and -1</em>.
- <em>Set up the problem:</em>
Now, we can fo the math:
8(5x - 1) + x(5x - 1)
<em>Factor (5x - 1) from this:</em>
(5x - 1)(x + 8)
And we have our answer.
