Use the functions a(x) = 3x + 10 and b(x) = 2x − 8 to complete the function operations listed below.

1 answer:

7 0

For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.

For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.

For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.

Write 140 as the product of its prime factors.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

$140:\bold{2}=70\\\\70:\bold{2}=35\\\\35:\bold{5}=7\\\\7:\bold{7}=\underline{1}$

so:

$140=2\cdot2\cdot5\cdot7=\boxed{2^2\cdot5\cdot7}$

Select a value: addition property of equality

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Addition prop of equality, multiplication prop of equality, multiplication prop. of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we need to add 3 to both sides of the equation. When you add a value to both sides of the equation, you're using the addition property of equality.

For the second one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we need to multiply both side by 1/6 (to cancel the 6 out on the left side). When you multiply something to both sides of the equation, you're using the multiplication property of equality.

For the third one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we must multiply both sides of the equation by 5. Like the second problem, this would be the multiplication property of equality (since you're multiplying both sides of the equation by the same thing).
