Answer:

x+y=68

x-y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

A "sum" means that we will be using addition, while a "difference" indicates subtraction. Anytime we have two unknown numbers we generally use "x" and "y".

1: A bag contains 10 white golf balls and 6 striped golf balls. A golfer wants to add 122 golf balls to the bag. He wants the ra
fgiga [73]
Part A:

Given that a<span> bag contains 10 white golf balls and 6 striped golf balls, the ratio of white to striped golf balls is 10 : 6 = 5 : 3.

Given that </span>a<span> golfer wants to add 122 golf balls to the bag, the of balls each he should add is given by:

5\left( \frac{122}{5+3} \right) \ : \ 3\left( \frac{122}{5+3} \right)=5\left( \frac{122}{8} \right) \ : \ 3\left( \frac{122}{8} \right) \\  \\ =5(15.25) \ : \ 3(15.25)=76.25 \ : \ 45.75 \\  \\ \approx76:46

Therefore, the golfer shold add 76 white golf balls and 46 striped golf balls.



Part B.

You did not indicate the scale factor.

Assuming the scale factor is given by D(o, k) where k can be any number, then the cordinate of the </span><span>coordinates of the image of the quadrilateral VWXY are given by:

V'(6k, 2k), W(-2k, 4k), X(-3k, -2k), Y(3k,-5k)

That is you multiply the scale factor to the coordinates of the preimage to get the coordinates of the image.

For all the values of x,<br> f(x)=x²+3 g(x)=2x-1 <br> a) find fg(2) <br> b) find gf(2)
erik [133]

Answer:

12 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To evaluate f(g(2)), evaluate g(2) then use the value obtained to evaluate f(x)

g(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3, then

f(3) = 3² + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

--------------------------------------------

(b)

To evaluate g(f(2)), evaluate f(2) the use the value obtained to evaluate g(x)

f(2) = 2² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7, then

g(7) = 2(7) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
