Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The box  when shipped is 5 pounds

The box alone =                 <u>2 poun</u>ds         Subtract

What's left is                       3 pounds

1 sea turtle weighs            1 pound

3 sea turtles weigh            x

1/3 = 1 / x                             Cross multiply

1*x = 3*1

x = 3

He ships 3 sea turtles.

Consider the function f(x)=3x-1 (over)x+4 (a) At which value of x will the function not have a solution? Explain your answer. (b
Irina18 [472]

Ans(a):

Given function is f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}

we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0

so let's solve

x+4≠0 for x

x≠0-4

x≠-4

Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.


Ans(b):

We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)

so we get:

g(x)=f(x)+4

g(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.

Comparision:  

Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).


Ans(e):

To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation

8=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4


8-4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4(x+4)=(3x-1)


4x+16=3x-1


4x-3x=-1-16

x=-17

Hence final answer is x=-17

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
jolli1 [7]
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation. 
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation: 
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for. 

Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.

Simplify -3p 3 + 5p + (-2p 2) + (-4) - 12p + 5 - (-8p 3).
MissTica

Answer:5p^3-2p^2-7p+1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3p^3+5p+(-2p^2)+(-4)-12p+5-(-8p^3)

open brackets

-3p^3+5p-2p^2-4-12p+5+8p^3

Collect like terms

-3p^3+8p^3-2p^2+5p-12p-4+5

5p^3-2p^2-7p+1

Find the volume of a spere with radius of 7​
choli [55]

Formula for volume of sphere V = 4/3 (Pi) r^3, where Pi ~ 3.14 and r is the radius = 7.

Therefore V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 7^3

= 4/3 * 3.14 * 343

= 4/3 * 1077.02

= 1,436.02667 cubic units
