Answer:

x = 6 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total weight of the candy = x

3/20x + 1.2 lb + 3/5x + 0.3 lb = x

3/20x + 3/5x + 1.5 lb = x

3x+12x/20 + 1.5 lb = x

15/20x + 1.5 = x

1.5 = x - 15/20x

1.5 =20x -15x /20

1.5 = 5/20x

1.5 = 1/4x

x = 1.5 ÷ 1/4

= 1.5 × 4/1

= 6

x = 6 lb

For the real-valued functions f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), find the composition f o g and specify its domain using interval not
Anettt [7]

Answer:

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

Domain = [1, \infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions  f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), we are to find the composite function fog

fog = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(√(x-1))

f(√(x+1)) means that we are to replace variable x in f(x) with the function √(x-1)

f(√(x-1)) = 2(√(x-1))+1

f(√(x+1)) = 2√(x-1) + 1

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

<em>For the function to exist on any real valued function, then the function inside square root i.e x-1 must be greater than or equal to zero (x-1≥0)</em>

If x-1≥0

x≥0+1

x≥1

This means the range of variable x must be values of x greater than or equal to 1.

Domain = [1, \infty)

What is the ratio a:b if 8a=3b?
Digiron [165]

The ratio a:b is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the ratio a:b means the fraction a/b.

So we will have to solve the given equation for a/b

Given

8a=3b

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8a}{8}=\frac{3b}{8}\\a=\frac{3b}{8}

Dividing both sides by b

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3b}{8*b}\\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{3}{8}

The ratio a:b is 3:8

Consider the relationship below, given . Which of the following best explains how this relationship and the value of sin can be
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The values of sin θ and cos θ represent the legs of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1; therefore, solving for cos θ finds the unknown leg, and then all other trigonometric values can be found.

Please help asap!! Thank you
djyliett [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

Let's simply work with it,

60° + 2x° + (2x+12)° = 180° { being a linear pair}.

or, 72° + 4x = 180°

4x = 180° - 70°

x =  \frac{108}{4}

Therefore, the value of x is 27°.

Now,

2x° = (2×27)°= 54°

(2x+12)° = 2×27°+12°= 66°.

(x+2)= 27+ 2= 29°

Now, The left angle is 27°.

Therefore, The answer is option A.

What does the missing number represent?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: (C) the number of groups

Step-by-step explanation: It cannot be the total because the total is 18, the size of the groups does not make sense because it seems that you are trying to find a total, and the difference makes no sense because this does not seem like a subtraction problem. (C) the number of groups makes sense because their is a total number of groups.

Hope this helps! :)
