Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so, we know they washed 34.

x-5=Trucks washed [19.5-5=(14.5)]

x=cars washed (19.5)

x+x-5=34

2x-5=34

+5   +5

2x=39

divide 2 both sides

x=19.5

To check work: 19.5+14.5=34!

Hope this helps :)

If A = 30° and r = 12, find x. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Margaret [11]

Answer:

\boxed{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 30° and r = 12

\sin A = \frac{r}{r + x}

\sin 30 = \frac{12}{12 + x}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{12}{12 + x}

1(12 + x) = 2(12)

12 + x = 24

x = 24 - 12

x = 12

.

Happy to help :)

F(x)=-2x-1 and g(x)=x^2-1. Find (fog)(-5).
serg [7]

Answer: - 49

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -2x - 1

g(x) = x^{2} - 1

fg(x) = f (x^{2} - 1) , we just put in the value of g(x) , the next thing is to substitute x^{2} - 1 for the value of x in f(x) , that is

fg(x) = -2(x^{2} - 1) - 1

fg(x) = -2x^{2} + 2 - 1

fg(x) = -2x^{2} + 1

Therefore : fg(-5) means we will substitute -5 for x in fg(x) , that is

fg(-5) = -2 ((-5)^{2} + 1

fg(-5) =  -2(25) + 1

fg(-5) = -50 + 1

fg(-5) = -49

F(x) = x2+3x+2 x2+5x+4 Why is there no zero at x = –1?
dmitriy555 [2]
You could rewrite F(x) as

\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+5x+4}=\dfrac{(x+1)(x+2)}{(x+1)(x+4)}

and be tempted to cancel out the factors of x+1. But this cancellation is only valid when x\neq-1.

When x=-1, you end up with the indeterminate form \dfrac00, which is why -1 is not a zero.
