Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.

The first thing we want to do is change the minus to plus a negative.

Now distribute or multiply the 8 times

each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.

So we get 8(5) + 8(-2x) and this simplifies to 40 + -16x.

Evaluate the function f (x)  4 • 7x for x  1 and x = 2. Show your work
SashulF [63]
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.

Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function   f(x)=4.7^x    for x = - 1 and x  2.

The solution is:

1) For x = - 1

f(-1)=4. 7^{-1} =4. (1/7)=4/7

2) For x = 2

f(2)=4.7^2=4(49)=196

X and y are two positive numbers and y is three greater than x. the product of the numbers is 180. find the smaller number, x.
Viktor [21]
First positive number (x) = x
Second positive number (y) = x+3
Product: 180 = x · y
               180 = x · (x + 3)
               180 = x² + 3x
                 0  = x² + 3x - 180
                 0 = (x + 15)(x - 12)
                 0 = x + 15, 0 = x - 12
                     x = -15, x = 12
x = -15 is NOT a positive number so it can be disregarded.

Consider U = {x|x is a negative real number}. Which is an empty set? {x|x ∈ U and x has a negative cube root} {x|x ∈ U and x has
natima [27]

Answer:

{x\ x e U and x has a negative square root} is an empty set.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x e U, x is a negative real number, and they don't have a square root (they don't have even roots). Their square roots are complex numbers, not real ones.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

2813 English books

Hindi books are 42% of 4850

42 ÷ 100 = 0.42

0.42 × 4850 = 2037 Hindi books

number of English books = total number of Hindi and English books - number of hindi books

4850 - 2037 = 2813 English books

-6h + 2(4h + 3) = 1
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

h = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Apply the distributed property: -6h + 8h + 6 = 1
  2. Combine like terms: 2h + 6 = 1
  3. Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2h = -5
  4. Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to h. It should now look like this: h = -2.5

I hope this helps!
