Answer:

Each friend ate 4 tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

"4 of his friends ate s tacos" is unclear. I assume it should be

"4 of his friends ate s tacos each."

total tacos = 2 + 4s = 18

4s = 16

s = 4

His four friends ate a total of 16 tacos, each friend eating 4 tacos.

Ricky's reason, i.e., that 6s = 18, is incorrect.

6s = 4s+2s, where 4s is what his friends ate in total.

That implies that Ricky ate 2s tacos, instead of 2 tacos. If 2s = 2 then s = 1, but then 6s ≠ 18.

Given f(x)=2x^3-3x and g(x)=-3x^2+1, what is the value of h(3) where h(x)=(f+g)(x)?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

h(3) = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

The function $h(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 2x^3 -3x +3x^2 +1 = 2x^3 +3 x^2 -3x+1$

Now since you need to find the value of this new function at the point x=3, replace x by "3" in the expression above and perform the calculation:

$h(3) = 2(3)^3 +3 (3)^2 -3(3)+1=73$
