Answer:

Buying the larger box, I will be saving 23% compared to the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a box contains 300 swabs for 2.99 and the other box is specially marked at 30% more swabs for the same price, to determine how much will I save per swab by buying the larger box the following calculation must be performed:

2.99 / 300 = X

0.0099 = X

2.99 / (300 x 1.3) = X

2.99 / 390 = X

0.0076 = X

0.0099 = 100

0.0076 = X

(0.0076 x 100) / 0.0099 = X

77 = X

100 - 77 = 23

Therefore, buying the larger box I will be saving 23% compared to the original price.

Use four rectangles to estimate the area between the graph of the function f(x) = V3x + 5 and the x-axis on the interval[0, 4] u
yuradex [85]

Answer:

  12.123

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the area under the curve f(x) = √(3x+5) on the interval [0, 4] estimated using the left sum and four subintervals.

<h3>Riemann sum</h3>

When the interval [0, 4] is divided into four equal parts, each has unit width. That means the area of the rectangle defined by the curve and the interval width will be equal to the value of the curve at the left end of the interval.

The area we want is the sum ...

  f(0) +f(1) +f(2) +f(3)

As the attachment shows, that sum is ...

  area ≈ 12.123 . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The table values in the attachment are rounded to 7 decimal places. Trailing zeros are not shown. Actual values used have 12 significant digits, as the total shows.

Such a sum is called a Riemann sum, named for a German mathematician. Four such sums are commonly used, and further refinements are possible. Those are the left sum (as here), the right sum, the midpoint sum, and a sum using a trapezoidal approximation of the rectangle area.

For left, right, and midpoint sums, n function values are required for n subintervals. When the trapezoidal approximation is used, n+1 function values are required.

A. subtract the bottom equation from the top equation

Step-by-step explanation:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation. So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation.

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one
dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}

For each real number x\neq 0

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let x_1 and x_2 be any nonzero real numbers such that

f(x_1)=f(x_2)

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation  of f(x_1)=f(x_2)

f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

Equating the expression then we get

\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1

3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2

x_1=x_2

Therefore, f is one-to-one.

24a-18a+12a is equal to 18a
hence, divide it by 6a
so you get 3a :)
