Answer:

P(x) = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

R(x) = 5x

C(x) = 10 + 2x

Required

Determine P(x) = (R - C)(x)

In functions;

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

So, we have:

P(x) = (R - C)(x)

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Substitute values for R(x) and C(x)

P(x) = 5x - (10 + 2x)

Open bracket

P(x) = 5x - 10 - 2x

Collect Like Terms

P(x) = 5x - 2x- 10

P(x) = 3x - 10

Given parallelogram MNOP, MA = x + 5, AO = y + 2, PA = 3x and AN = 2y
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The values of x and y are x = 6 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

MNOP is a parallelogram its diagonal MO and PN intersected at point A

In any parallelogram diagonals:

  • Bisect each other
  • Meet each other at their mid-point

In parallelogram MNOP

∵ MO and NP are its diagonal

∵ MO intersect NP at point A

- Point A is the mid-point pf them

∴ MO and NP bisect each other

∴ MA = AO

∴ PA = AN

∵ MA = x + 5

∵ AO = y + 2

- Equate them

∴ x + 5 = y + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ PA = 3x

∵ AN = 2y

- Equate them

∴ 2y = 3x

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = 1.5x ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ x + 5 = 1.5x + 2

- Subtract 1.5x from both sides

∴ - 0.5x + 5 = 2

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ - 0.5x = -3

- Divide both sides by - 0.5

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 1.5(6)

∴ y = 9

The values of x and y are x = 6 and y = 9

Exponential form of xyyzzz
Trava [24]

Answer:

  xy²z³

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponent is a way to indicate the number of times the factor is repeated. When it is 1, it is rarely shown.

  x is repeated once, so will appear without an exponent

  y is repeated twice, so will have an exponent of 2

  z is repeated 3 times, so will have an exponent of 3

__

  xyyzzz = xy²z³

_____

In plain text, an exponent is indicated with a caret (^).

  xy^2z^3
