Answer:
4x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x - 1
g(x) = x + 2,
(f +g)(x)= 3x-1 + x+2
Combine like terms
=4x +1
Answer:
The population of the town in the year 1962 will be 1730.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Smallville can be found by the equation 
, where P(t) is the population at time t, r represents the rate of growth, and I is the initial population.
Now, if there are 225 residents in 1950 and the population of the town grows at a rate of 17% per year, then the population of the town in the year 1962 will be 
(Approximate)
Answer:
90%
Step-by-step explanation:
18+2=20
18/20=.9
.9*100=90
One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
You subtract 7% from 32=29.76
Then you subtract 8% from 29.76=27.379
