Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So if a=x then 3a-1=7 therefore 3a=8 and a=8/3

Answer:

So,

g(x) = 3x - 1

And,

g(a) = 3a - 1

But, given g(a) = 7

So, from 2nd and 3rd step,

3a-1=7

3a=6

Therefore, a = 2

A runner warmed up for 10 minutes and then takes seven minutes to run each mile. The total time after r miles is 45 minutes how
scoundrel [369]
So our equation to find this can be represented by 7x + 10 = 45.
(x representing miles run)
Just solve for x!

Subtract the 10 from both sides, you've got
 7x = 35
And now to isolate the x, we divide both sides by 7.
Now we're left with just
x = 5!

We can check this by substituting 5 as x in our equation.
7x x 5 + 10 = 45
45 = 45
It's right!

So the runner ran 5 miles total.

Hope this helps!

The length of a rectangular field is 6 metres longer than its width. If the area of the field is 72 square metres, What are the
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The length is 12metres, the width is 6metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the width is x, the length is x+6

The square is 72. The square of rectangular field is equal to product of length and width.

so x(x+6)=72

x^2+6x-72=0

a=1 b=6 c=-72

D= b^2-4ac= 6*6+288= 36+288= 324

sqrtD= 18

x1= (-b-sqrtD)/2a=(-6-18)/2= -12 (it is negative, but width is only positive. So this root doesn't match)

x2=(-b+sqrtD)/2a= (-6+18)/2= 12/2=6 - the width

The length is 6+6=12

Let g(x)= -3x and h(x) x^2+3 Find (g°h)(0)
raketka [301]
<h3>Answer is   -9</h3>

=================================

Work Shown:

(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))

So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))

Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)

h(x) = x^2+3

h(0) = 0^2+3

h(0) = 3

So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.

Now let's find g(3)

g(x) = -3x

g(3) = -3*3

g(3) = -9

-------

alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function

g(x) = -3x

g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)

g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3

g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9

Next we can plug in x = 0

g( h(0) )  = -3(0)^2 - 9

g( h(0) ) = -9

we get the same result.
