Answer:

12/15 acres of land

Step-by-step explanation:

Total measure of land = 2 2/5acres

Total brothers = 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = Total measure of land/Total brother

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = (2 2/5)/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 2 2/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 * 1/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/15

Hence each brother will receive 12/15 acres of land

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = one-quarterx – 12? h(x) = 48x – 4 h(x) = 48x + 4 h(x) = 4x – 48 h(x) = 4x + 48

NISA [10]

Answer:

The inverse function h(x) = 4x + 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the inverse of a function

The function is;

f(x) = x/4 -12

now, let this value equals m

so;

m = x/4 -12

we now try and make x the subject formula and this gives us the inverse.

m = (x-48)/4

4m = x -48

x = 4m + 48

substitute m for x

which implies 4x + 48

This is the inverse of the function

The point (1, 20) means that the total money spent for purchasing one ticket is $20.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

Linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the total money spent for buying x number of tickets.

The point (1, 20) means that the total money spent for purchasing one ticket is $20.

Given an arithmetic sequence in the table below, create the explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.

djyliett [7]

An=a1+d(n-1)
an=nth term
a1=first term, when n=1
d=common differnce=amount each term increases by
n=which one

so
when n=1, an=40
so a1=40
it seems to increas by 7 each time

an=40+7(n-1)
explicit formula is expanded
an=40+7n-7
an=33+7n is the formula

the domain is natural numbers because you can't have the -3rd term or the 0th term or the 3.24th term

domain is natural numbers
the formula is $a_n=33+7n$ or $a_n=7n+33$
