Find the function value, if possible. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)

ddd [48]

Answer:

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply replace wherever you find x in the function f(x) with (x + 2), like so:

f(x + 2) = 3(x + 2) - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 6 - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2

A student solves the following equation and

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{3}{a+2}-6\cdot \frac{a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\frac{3}{a+2}-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\mathrm{Find\:Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}a+2,\:-4+a^2,\:a-2:\quad \left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:LCM=}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)=\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

as

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad 3\left(a-2\right)$

$-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad -6a$

$\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad a+2$

so equation becomes

$3\left(a-2\right)-6a=a+2$

$-3a-6=a+2$

$-3a-6+6=a+2+6$

$-4a=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-4$

$\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{8}{-4}$

$a=-2$

$\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}$

$\mathrm{Take\:the\:denominator\left(s\right)\:of\:}\frac{3}{a+2}-6\frac{a}{-4+a^2}-\frac{1}{a-2}\mathrm{\:and\:compare\:to\:zero}$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a+2=0:\quad a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:-4+a^2=0:\quad a=2,\:a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a-2=0:\quad a=2$

So the following points are undefined

$a=-2,\:a=2$

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Finance - Sheryl and Carol work at the same company and make the same salary of $64,000 per year. Carol deposits 8% of their sal

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$1792

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you that the 8% of her salary that Carol puts in her 401(k) plan is not subject to income tax. Therefore, she is taxed on .08·64000 = 5120 less income than is Sheryl, so saves

0.35·$5120 = $1792

in income taxes over what Sheryl pays.
