Leah needs to buy some apples from the grocery store. She places fifteen apples in her cart and proceeds to the checkout. Lucky for her, there happens to be a discount on apples for the day. She saves $25 on her purchase. The total money she ends up spending was only $35 (excluding tax). How much did each apple cost?
Problem 1
<h3>Answer: False</h3>
---------------------------------
Explanation:
The notation (f o g)(x) means f( g(x) ). Here g(x) is the inner function.
So,
f(x) = x+1
f( g(x) ) = g(x) + 1 .... replace every x with g(x)
f( g(x) ) = 6x+1 ... plug in g(x) = 6x
(f o g)(x) = 6x+1
Now let's flip things around
g(x) = 6x
g( f(x) ) = 6*( f(x) ) .... replace every x with f(x)
g( f(x) ) = 6(x+1) .... plug in f(x) = x+1
g( f(x) ) = 6x+6
(g o f)(x) = 6x+6
This shows that (f o g)(x) = (g o f)(x) is a false equation for the given f(x) and g(x) functions.
===============================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: True</h3>
---------------------------------
Explanation:
Let's say that g(x) produced a number that wasn't in the domain of f(x). This would mean that f( g(x) ) would be undefined.
For example, let
f(x) = 1/(x+2)
g(x) = -2
The g(x) function will always produce the output -2 regardless of what the input x is. Feeding that -2 output into f(x) leads to 1/(x+2) = 1/(-2+2) = 1/0 which is undefined.
So it's important that the outputs of g(x) line up with the domain of f(x). Outputs of g(x) must be valid inputs of f(x).
Answer:
A). 50 penny
B) This type of battery is cost effective.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) A pack of 8 batteries cost 3.99 pounds so one battery will cost = 3.99/8 = 0.499 pound
Since 1 pound = 100 penny
So 0.499 pound = 100×0.499 = 50 penny
B). A pack of 6 batteries of the same type costs 2.79 pounds
So one battery will cost = 2.79/6 = 0.465 pound or 47 penny
Now we say that type A batteries are costlier than B. Therefore B type batteries are of a better value.
Answer:
y=-4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Slope is given as -4, so:
y=-4x+b
To find b, sub in the point we were given (-2,2):
2=-4(-2)+b
2=8+b
b=2-8=-6
So we have: y=-4x-6
97% because that is the average of the three test scores.
