PLS HELP IM FAILING MATH!

Mathematics
1 answer:
oksano4ka [1.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Never true

2. Never true

3. Bad question!  Typo? (see discussion below)

4. Always true

5. Always false

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 13 = x + 1.  Subtract  x  from both sides of the equation, and you get -13 = 1.  False!  (Never true!)

2.  x + 1/2 = x - 1/2.  Subtract x from both sides:  1/2 = - 1/2.  False! (Never true!)

3. This one's weird, with two equal signs.  That's not unusual; multiple equal signs are often used when a chain of equalities is being displayed.  For instance, you can write  (3)(2x + 5) = (3)(2x) + (3)(5) = 6x + 15.  That's an example of the Distributive Property--the 3 is multiplied by both of the terms inside parentheses (shown after the first equal sign), then actually doing those multiplications produces the expression after the second equal sign.

OK!  This question says 2(x + 3) = 5x = 6 - 3x.  Take it in two parts.

a. 2(x + 3) = 5x   Distribute the 2.

2x + 6 = 5x   Now subtract 2x from both sides.

6 = 3x   Divide both sides by 3.

2 = x  So that first part is true only when x = 2.  Gaa!  That's not one of your answer choices.  Now, check out the second part

b.  5x = 6 - 3x  Add 3x to both sides.

8x = 6   Divide by 8

x = 6/8 = 3/4

It doesn't help to use the first and <u>third</u> expressions, either.

2(x + 3) = 6 - 3x   Distribute the 2

2x + 6 = 6 - 3x  Add 3x.

5x + 6 = 6   Subtract 6.

5x = 0   Divide by 5

x = 0

None of these is always false.  None of these is always true.

4.  x - 3 = 2x - 3 - x   Simplify the right side by combining the x terms.

x - 3 = x - 3  Aha!  Same expression on both sides!  Always true

5.  3(x - 5) = 2(x - 5) + x  Distribute the 3. Distribute the 2.

3x - 15 = 2x - 10 + x  Combine the x terms on the right.

3x - 15 = 3x - 10  Subtract 3x

-15 = -10  (Always false!)

Which represents the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x? h(x) = x + 4 h(x) = x – 4 h(x) = three-quartersx h(x) = one-quarterx
aalyn [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=h(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x\to y=4x\\\\\text{exchange}\ x\ \text{to}\ y\to x=4y\\\\\text{solve for}\ y:\\\\4y=x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4y}{4}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x

A study is done on the population of a certain fish species in a lake. Suppose that the population size P(1) after years is give
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

  • Growth
  • 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • P(t) = 400(1.22)^{t}

<u>Initial population size is when t = 0</u>

  • P(0) = 400(1.22)⁰ = 400(1) = 400

<u>The multiple of 1.22 is applied every year, so the ratio of change is:</u>

  • 1.22 = 122% = 100% + 22%

This is an exponential growth which represents 22% annual growth.
