Can someone tell me step by step how to solve this?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I take it that this is some sort of ratio.  Start by solving the brackets on the left.

Brackets: 1/3 - 1/10

Brackets: 10/30 - 3/30

Brackets: 7/30

Brackets^2: 49/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: 49/900  - 180/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: -131/900

(2/5)^2 = 4/25

The way this read, it should be

\frac{\frac{-131}{900} }{\frac{4}{25} }

Which when you invert and multiply becomes

\frac{-131}{900} * \frac{25}{4}

which finally becomes

\frac{-131}{144}

Given f(x)=-2x-1, solve for x when f(x)=-7
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The answer is -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x - 1

2. 2(-7) - 1

3. (-14) - 1

4. -15

By plugging in our x value, we are able to use PEMDAS to  multiply 2 and the value of x and then, we subtract 1 from the value we got from step 3 to get -15.

Anni [7]

Answer:

1.  \( f\circ g(x)=0.05x-150

2. \( g\circ f(x)=0.05x-3000

3. The first one represents Dale's commission

Explanation:

1. The composition of the function

                                                             \( f\circ g(x)=f(g(x)) \)    

means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).

That is:

  • f(x) = 0.05x
  • g(x) = x - 3000

       f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150

2. The composition of the function

                                                             \( g\circ f(x)=g(f(x)) \)                                                                  

means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).

That is:

      g(f(x))=((0.05x)-3000)=0.05x-3000

3. Which one represents Dale's commission

To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).

Therefore, you first use g(x).

Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.

Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:

  f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150
