When x represents whole numbers less than 200, the function f(x) = 2x - 20 represents the profit earned from selling x carnation

s for a school fund-raiser. What is the value of f(140)?

Answer:

260

Step-by-step explanation:

When x represents whole numbers less than 200, the function

f(x) = 2x - 20 .......... (1)

represents the profit earned from selling x carnations for a school fund-raiser.

Therefore, the profit earned from selling 140 carnations for the school fund-raiser will be given by the equation (1) as

f(140) = 2(140) - 20 = 280 - 20 = 260.

Therefore, 260 is the value of f(140). (Answer)

PLEASE HELP!!! NO BOTS!! solve for x

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

/2=1.41

/5=2.24

(a)^2+(b)^2=(c)^2

(1.41)^2+(b)^2=(2.24)^2

2+(b)^2=5

(b)^2=5-2

(b)^2=3

b=/3 or 1.73

Step-by-step explanation:

for a triangle, a missing value of the side can be found using pythagorean theorem which is (a)^2+(b)^2=(c)^2

replace it with the given value.

*note:(c)^2 should be the hypotenuse

inverse of +ve is -ve

inverse of square is square root

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x

Sati [7]

Answer:

$x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $y = 5\cdot x + 11$ and $t = 2-x$ , the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) $t = 2-x$ Given

2) $y = 5\cdot x +11$ Given

3) $y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11$ Associative and modulative properties

4) $y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11$ Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) $y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11$ Associative property

6) $y = -5\cdot (-x)+11$ $\frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ / $(-1)\cdot a = -a$

7) $y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11$ Modulative property

8) $y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11$ Existence of additive inverse

9) $y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11$ Associative and commutative properties

10) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11$ Distributive property

11) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21$ $(-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b$

12) $y = (-5)\cdot t +21$ By 1)

13) $y = -5\cdot t +21$ $(-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b$ /Result

14) $t+x = (2-x)+x$ Compatibility with addition

15) $t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t)$ Compatibility with addition

16) $[t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t)$ Associative property

17) $0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t)$ Associative property

18) $x = 2-t$ Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is $x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$ .

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, if an item has been discounted by 40%, the discounte is that 40%, what is 40% of the price "p"? (40/100) * p or 0.4p.
