Let m = the total number of medals.
To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.
If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals. That must mean that:
m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24. Thus, the total number of medals is 24.
Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!
The answer is w⁻²/v⁻².
v/w raised to the second power is (v/w)²
(v/w)² = v²/w²
Since xᵃ = 1/x⁻ᵃ, then v²/w² = 1/v⁻²w²
Since 1/xᵃ = x⁻ᵃ, then 1/v⁻²w² = w⁻²/v⁻²
He would have to work 24 weeks to get the same amount from each job.
X=8
Explanation:
f(x)=x^2-16x+64+(x-8)^2
You see there is a double x- intercept by the 8. So the parabola is tangent to the x axis. So x=8 f(x)=0
