All sacks of sugar have the same weight. All sacks of flour also have the same weight, but not necessarily the same as the weigh

t of the sacks of sugar. Suppose that two sacks of sugar together with three sacks of flour weigh no more than $40$ pounds, and that the weight of a sack of flour is no more than $5$ pounds more than the weight of two sacks of sugar. What is the largest possible weight (in pounds) of a sack of flour?

Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds
I hope it‘s coorect

Which function has an inverse function?
daser333 [38]

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, only those functions that are one to one have an inverse function.

A function is one by one if there are not two different input values, x_1 and x_2, that have the same output value y

Note that the function f(x)= \frac{|x+3|}{5}  is not a one-to-one function

When x=2  f(x)= \frac{|2+3|}{5}=1\ ,\ \ y=1

When x=8  f(x)= \frac{|-8+3|}{5}=1\ \ ,\ y=1

Note that the function f(x)= \frac{x^4}{7}+ 27  is not a one-to-one function

When x=1 f(x)= \frac{(1)^4}{7}+27\ ,\ \ y=\frac{190}{7}

When x=-1  f(x)= \frac{(-1)^4}{7}+27\ ,\ \ y=\frac{190}{7}

Note that the function f(x)= \frac{1}{x^2}  is not a one-to-one function

When x=1 f(x)= \frac{1}{(1)^2}\ ,\ \ y=1

When x=-1  f(x)= \frac{1}{(-1)^2}\ ,\ \ y=1

Then the answer is the option B.

You can verify that The function f (x) = x ^ 5-3 is a one-to-one function and therefore its inverse is a function

What is 6 divided by 7/9
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

54/7

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Use the KCF method - Keep, Change, Flip
  2. 6 divided by 7/9 is just 6/1 divided by 7/9
  3. You can keep 6/1 as the way it is
  4. Next, you change the sign from division to multiplication
  5. Lastly, you flip 7/9 to 9/7
  6. It will now change from 6 divided by 7/9 to 6/1 x 9/7
  7. You now multiple 9 x 6 which is 54 and divide by 7
  8. You cannot simplify further so the answer is 54/7
