Mathematics

yan [13]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 20

x = 2y - 3

(2y-3)y = 20

2y^2 - 3y = 20

2y^2 - 3y - 20 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

you get y = 4, -5/2

Use 5 since it is one of the options

xy = 20, y = 4

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,,

6x and 2x

To find, the value of x = ?

According to question,

The sum of 6x and 2x is at least 39

∴ 6x + 2x = 39

⇒ 8x = 39

⇒  x = \dfrac{39}{8}

∴ The value of x = \dfrac{39}{8}

Thus, put x = \dfrac{39}{8} I write the sum of 6x and 2x is at least 39 .

Answer:Jason’s salary depends on the number of hours he works. The independent variable is the number of hours and the dependent variable is salary. Let x = the number of hours worked Let y = Jason’s salary The set of ordered pairs {(1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30), (4, 40), (5, 50)} can be used to represent the function, assuming Jason earns $10 per hour The number of hours the train takes depends on the distance. The distance is independent and the number of hours is dependent. {(2,20)(4,40)(6,60)(8,80)(10,100)} For every 2 hours it takes 20 miles. The amount of money depends on the time worked.

Let f(x) = 5x – 8 and g(x) = 9 - 6x2.<br> -<br> (f o g)(-3) =
MArishka [77]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5x - 8

g(x) = 9 - 6x²

= (fog)(-3)

= f( g(3) )

= 5x - 8

= 5(9 - 6x²) - 8

= 5(9 - 6(-3)² ) - 8

= 5(9 - 54) - 8

= 5(-45) - 8

= -225 - 8

= -233

(fog)(-3) = -233
