The larger of two positive integers is three more than the

Answer:

y=x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's start with the fact that we have two numbers. Let's call one of them "x" and the other one "y." Let's also assume that "y" is the larger number and "x" is the smaller number.

 

We know that both of them added together (the sum) gives us 74. Mathematically, that means:

 

x+y=74.

 

We also know that the larger number ("y") is 4 more than the smaller number ("x"). Another way to say this is, if you have the smaller number and add 4 more to it, you'll end up with the larger number. Mathematically, this means:

 

y=x+4

 

Since we know that y=x+4, we can put "x+4" into the first equation for "y", giving us:

 

x+(x+4)=74

 

Simplifying gives us:

 

2x+4=74

   -4   -4

  ---------

2x=70

---  ---

2    2

 

 

x=35

 

Since we now know that x=35, and we know that y=x+4, we now know that:

 

y=(35)+4

y=39

 

Now that we have both of the numbers, we should check our work to ensure it's correct:

 

Does 39+35=74?      Yes it does.

 

Is 39 (the larger of the two numbers) four more than the smallest number (35)?    Yes it is.

T⁻¹ is the inverse function of T.
To get the inverse function, replace x with y and y with x.
So T<span>⁻¹(x, y): (x + 2, y - 7)</span>

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A) \dfrac{11}{23}

B) \dfrac{88}{345}

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey of 46 college athletes found that

  • 24 played volleyball,
  • 22 played basketball.

A) If we pick one athlete survey participant at random,  the probability they play basketball is

P_1=\dfrac{22}{46}=\dfrac{11}{23}

B) If we pick 2 athletes at random (without replacement),

  • the probability we get one volleyball player is \dfrac{24}{46}=\dfrac{12}{23};
  • the probability we get another basketball player is \dfrac{22}{45} (only 45 athletes left).

Thus, the probability we get one volleyball player and one basketball player is

P_2=\dfrac{12}{23}\cdot \dfrac{22}{45}=\dfrac{88}{345}

Find the domain and the range of the function <br><br>domain:<br><br>range:<br>​
NeX [460]

Answer:

Approach 1: Mathematical Approach

Domain is the possible inputs or x values of a function

Here we can use any x values greater than or less than 7. We can also use 7 since their is a a function defined for x greater than or equal to 7.

So the domain is (-♾, ♾).

The range is possible y values. Since we can use negative x values, if we plug in x values for the function -5/7x+1, we are going to get positive numbers, as we plug in higher negative numbers, our range is bigger.

This means the range is bounded to -4 so our range is

(-4,♾)

Approach 2: Graphical Approach

Above is the graph

It can take any x values so the domain is (-♾, ♾).

The range is (-4,♾).
