Answer:

c = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inverse function

$f^{-1}$ (5) = - 1 , then

f(- 1) = 5 , that is

- 2c + c(- 1) - (- 1)² = 5

- 2c - c - 1 = 5

- 3c - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )

- 3c = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

c = - 2

Answer:

value of x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if the given lines are parallel, then the shown pair of angles are corresponding angles,

and we know that the the pair of corresponding angles are equal so,

=》16x - 8 = 120

=》16x = 128

=》x = 128 ÷ 16

a circular frame that is 3-inches wide surrounds the mirror what I the combined area in square inches of the circular mirror and

Tcecarenko [31]

Assuming the frame is a perfect circle
and 3 inches wide indicates the diameter

area of a circle=pi times radius^2

diameter=2 times radius
radius=1/2 diameter
diameter=3
radius=1/2 times 3
radius=3/2=1.5

area=pi times 1.5^2=2.25
pi is aprox 3.14 so
2.25 times 3.14=7.065 square inches

the answer is 2.25π square inches or 7.065 square inches

How to do system of equations

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The three methods most commonly used to solve systems of equation are substitution, elimination and augmented matrices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution is a method of solving systems of equations by removing all but one of the variables in one of the equations and then solving that equation.

Elimination is another way to solve systems of equations by rewriting one of the equations in terms of only one variable. The elimination method achieves this by adding or subtracting equations from each other in order to cancel out one of the variables.

Augmented matrices can also be used to solve systems of equations. The augmented matrix consists of rows for each equation, columns for each variable, and an augmented column that contains the constant term on the other side of the equation.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

In a 1000 days Mercury will make 8.624 more revolutions than Earth!

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Earth</u> takes 365 days to make a complete revolution.

we can say that the rotational speed of Earth is $\dfrac{1}{365}\frac{\text{rev}}{\text{day}}$
