Answer:

The time it will take is 8hours 45mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y = –240x represents a submarine descent. We are looking for how long, that is the time, it will take for the submarine to make a descent of 2100. We know that y is the elevation, if it is descending it will be in the negative direction, making it -ve.

A descent of 2100 means y = –2100. Hence,

–2100 = –240x

x = –2100/–240 = 8.75hours = 8hours 45minutes. (0.75hours = 3/4hours = 3/4 x 60mins = 45mins).

If f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=1/2x+3 find g(f(-1))
telo118 [61]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=x^2

g(x)=1/(2x+3)

g(f(-1))=?

x=-1→f(-1)=(-1)^2→f(-1)=1

g(f(-1))=g(1)=1/[2(1)+3]=1/(2+3)→g(f(-1))=1/5

Answer:

JL = 138


explanation:


JK + KL = JL

5y+10+9y+2=17y-15

14y+12=17y-15

27=3y

y=9

JL= 17(9)-15

JL=153-15

JL=138

This problem addresses some common algebraic errors. For the equalities stated below assume that x and y stand for real numbers.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answers are:

a) (x+y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 is FALSE.

b) (x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2 is TRUE.

c) \frac{x}{x+y}= \frac{1}{y} is FALSE.

d) x-(x+y) = y is FALSE.

e) \sqrt{x^2} = x is FALSE.

f) \sqrt{x^2} = |x| is TRUE.

g) \sqrt{x^2+4} = x+2 is FALSE.

h) \frac{1}{x+y} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can show that the FALSE statement are, in fact, false finding an example where the equality fails.

a) Take x=2 and y=3 and notice that (2+3)² = 25, while 2²+3²=4+9=13.

b) (x+y)² = (x+y)(x+y)=x²+xy+xy+y² = x² +2xy +y².

c) Take x=2 and y=3 and notice that 2/(2+3) = 2/5 which is different from 1/3.

d) Take x=2 and y=3 and notice that 2-(2+3) = 2-5=-3 which is different from 3. Recall that x-(x+y) = x-x-y=-y.

e) Take x=-2, and notice that [tax]\sqrt{(-2)^2} = \sqrt{4} = 2[/tex] which is different from -2.

f) The previous example illustrate why this is true.

g) Take x=1, and notice that sqrt{1^2+4} = \sqrt{5} which is different from 3.

h) Take x=2 and y=3 and notice that 1/(2+3)=1/5 and 1/3+1/2 = 5/6.
