Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The easy way to set this up is to make the smallest number x - 1. You will see why in a moment. It cuts down on one step)

Equation

(x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 96                Remove the brackets

Solution

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 96                   Combine like terms

3x = 96                                       Divide by 3

x = 32

Note: that is not the smallest number. Remember, the smallest number is x - 1

So the smallest number is 31

Which one is the right answer
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: A. f(g(x)) =x and g(f(x))=x and f and g are inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function <em>g</em> is the inverse of function <em>f</em> if

<em>f(g(x)) = g(f(x))=x</em>

Given: f(x)=  x+4 , g(x) = x-4

f(g(x)) = f(x+4) = (x-4)+4

= x-4+4 = x

i.e. f(g(x)) =x

g(f(x))= g(x-4) = (x-4)+4 =x

i.e. g(f(x))=x

Hence, f(g(x)) =x and g(f(x))=x and f and g are inverses.

The equation 2x^2+12x=4 is written in the form of 2(x-p)^2+q=0. what is the value of q?
hram777 [196]

1) Factor out the coefficient 2:  2x^2+12x=4 => 2(x^2 + 6x) = 4

2) Complete the square of x^2 + 6x:  x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9.  Then:

                                                    2(x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9) = 4

3) Rewrite the square as the square of a binomial:

                                                    2( [x+3]^2 - 9) = 4, or

                                                     2([x+3]^2)       = 22, or

                                                     2( [x+3]^2 ) - 22 = 0

The value of q is -22.

A sphere has a surface area of 80 square feet. Which choice is the closest to its radius? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
solniwko [45]
Answer: 2.524 ft
----
The equation for the surface area of a sphere is SA = 4  \pi  r^2.
SA = surface area
r = radius

You're told that the surface area, SA = <span>80 square feet. Plug that into the equation and solve for r:
</span>80 = 4 \pi r^2\\&#10;20 =  (3.14)  r^2\\&#10; r^2 =  \frac{20}{3.14} \\&#10;r =  \sqrt{ \frac{20}{3.14}}\\&#10;r \approx 2.524 \: ft<span>
