Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.
Combine like terms
Divide both sides by 6
This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.
Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.
That's the value of the second number.
To solve this function, all we need to do is substitute -4.3 in for wherever "x" appears and then simplify.
f(x) = 7.45x + 33.7; x = -4.3
f(-4.3) = 7.45(-4.3) + 33.7
f(-4.3) = -32.035 + 33.7
f(-4.3) = 1.665
This means that, when x = -4.3, f(x) = 1.665.
Note: It may help to remember that, in a function such as this, f(x) can be thought of as the "y" value that corresponds to the given "x" value (in fact, when writing it out with words, f(x) is the same as "function of x"). And, if you are given a value for f(x), then the opposite is true. Just substitute in the value given for f(x) and solve for x.
Hope this helps!
Well you can either think of actually dividing the fraction or reduce to lowest forms which is 1/2. then from 1/2 you can either divide that or just say it is .5.
Answer:
f(g(2)) = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
g(2) = 3(2) + 1 = 7
Plug 7 into f(x) since g(2) = 7
f(7) = 7² - 5 = 44
f(g(2)) = 44
In order for two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must multiply together to equal to negative one
So we do negative one divided by 2/5 to get the slope of the red line
Which is -5/2
To check, we do 2/5 multiplied by -5/2 which equals to -1 so our answer is correct
