Which of the following properties is this? 8x/3 • 3/8x = 1

Suppose that the functions u and w are defined as follows.

jasenka [17]

Answer(there are assumptions for this answer that you need to confirm and look at):

Assumptions: $u(x)=x^2+3$ and $w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

Answer if the operation is multiplication:

If you meant a closed dot which is the symbol for multiplication.

$(u \cdot w)(2)=14$

$(w \cdot u)(2)=14$

Answer if the operation is composition:

If you meant an open dot which is the symbol for composition.

$(u \circ w)(2)=7$

$(w \circ u)(2)=3$

Note: I don't know if you actually meant $w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$ or if $w(x)=\sqrt{x}+2$ . Please let me know one way or the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the functions are:

$u(x)=x^2+3$

$w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

$u \cdot w=w \cdot u$ since multiplication is commutative.

$u(2)=2^2+3$

$u(2)=4+3$

$u(2)=7$

$w(2)=\sqrt{2+2}$

$w(2)=\sqrt{4}$

$w(2)=2$

We are asked to find $(u \cdot w)(2)$ and $(w \cdot u)(2)$ .

The order doesn't matter in multiplication.

$(u \cdot w)(2)$

$u(2) \cdot w(2)$

$7 \cdot 2$

$14$

$(w \cdot u)(2)$

$w(2) \cdot u(2)$

$2 \cdot 7$

$14$

Now you might have meant composition which symbolized with an open circle, not a closed one.

$(u \circ w)(2)$

$u(w(2))$

$u(2)$ since $w(2)=2$

$2^2+3$

$4+3$

$7$

$(w \circ u)(2)$

$w(u(2))$

$w(7)$ since $u(2)=7$

$\sqrt{7+2}$

$\sqrt{9}$

$3$

Can someone explain how to do this please?

Rufina [12.5K]

for the columns where is less than or equal zero, use the first line of the function to calculate the value of f(x)

${ ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 2} - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 1} - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ 0} - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0$

for every x greater than zero, use the second line to determine the value

${3}^{1} - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1 \\ {3}^{2} - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7$

hope this helps and gives some insight what to do.

if there are open questions left, feel free to ask them in the comments

have a beautiful day

1. Find the value of x. A. 90 B. 80 C. 60 D. 45

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A 90

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple ways to prove this.

e.g. since the angle between the two lines from the center of the circle to the 2 tangent touching points is 90 degrees (that is the meaning of these 90 degrees here as the angle of the circle segment defined by the 2 tangent touching points and the circle center), the tangents have the same "behavior" as tan and cot = the tangents at the norm circle at 0 and 90 degrees. they hit each other outside of the circle again at 90 degrees.

another way

imagine the two right triangles of the tangents crossing point to the circle center and the tangent/circle touching points.

the Hypotenuse of each triangle is cutting the 90 degree angle of the circle segment exactly in half (due to the symmetry principle). so the angle between radius side and Hypotenuse is 90/2 = 45 degrees.

that means also the angle of such a right triangle at the tangent crossing point is 45 degrees (as the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, we have the remainder of 180 - 90 - 45 = 45 degrees).

the angles of both right triangles at that point are the same, and so we can add 45+45 = 90 degrees for the total angle at the tangent crossing point.
