Answer: Jenny's aunt should buy 4 pounds of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds that Jenny's aunt should buy.

Let y represent the number of pounds of pecans that Jenny's aunt should buy.

She wants to buy 6 pounds of nuts. This means that

x + y = 6

If almonds cost $7 per pound and pecans cost $9 per pound and she wants to spend $50, it means that

7x + 9y = 50- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(6 - y) + 9y = 50

42 - 7y + 9y = 50

- 7y + 9y = 50 - 42

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

x = 6 - y = 6 - 4

x = 2

What is the domain of the relation?<br><br> Express your answer using inequalities.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

-6<x<0

  -    -

Step-by-step explanation:

make them less than or equal to signs, I don't know how to do that on a computer, I hope I am correct

point one on the left is -6, point 2 on the right is 0 (in terms of the x-axis, that's what domain is )

when there is arrows in the graph, the x/y is always in the middle.

Good luck! Hope I'm not late!

Given f(x) = log(x+1), x &gt;-1 and g(x) = x^2 + 2x, XER find (f•g)(1)​
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Like terms, functions may be combined by addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Example 1. Given f ( x ) = 2x + 1 and g ( x ) = x2

+ 2x – 1 find ( f + g ) ( x ) and

( f + g ) ( 2 )

Solution

Step 1. Find ( f + g ) ( x )

Since ( f + g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) + g ( x ) then;

( f + g ) ( x ) = ( 2x + 1 ) + (x2

+ 2x – 1 )

= 2x + 1 + x2

+ 2x – 1

= x

2

+ 4x

Step 2. Find ( f + g ) ( 2 )

To find the solution for ( f + g ) ( 2 ), evaluate the solution above for 2.

Since ( f + g ) ( x ) = x2

+ 4x then;

( f + g ) ( 2 ) = 22

+ 4(2)

= 4 + 8

= 12

Example 2. Given f ( x ) = 2x – 5 and g ( x ) = 1 – x find ( f – g ) ( x ) and ( f – g ) ( 2 ).

Solution

Step 1. Find ( f – g ) ( x ).

( f – g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) – g ( x )

= ( 2x – 5 ) – ( 1 – x )

= 2x – 5 – 1 + x

= 3x – 6

Step 2. Find ( f – g ) ( 2 ).

( f – g ) ( x ) = 3x – 6

( f – g ) ( 2 ) = 3 (2) – 6

= 6 – 6

= 0

Example 3. Given f ( x ) = x2

+ 1 and g ( x ) = x – 4 , find ( f g ) ( x ) and ( f g ) ( 3 ).

Solution

Step 1. Solve for ( f g ) ( x ).

Since ( f g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) * g ( x ) , then

= (x2

+ 1 ) ( x – 4 )

= x

3

– 4 x2

+ x – 4 .

Step 2. Find ( f g ) ( 3 ).

Since ( f g ) ( x ) = x3

– 4 x2

+ x – 4, then

( f g ) ( 3 ) = (3)3

– 4 (3)2

+ (3) – 4

= 27 – 36 + 3 – 4

= -10
