To find the x intercept of the function, we would find g(x) = 0
To do this, we would set each expression in the piecewise function to zero and solve for x. We have
For
x/3 + 2 = 0
let us multiply both sides of the equation by 3. We have
x/3 * 3 + 2 * 3 = 0 * 3
x + 6 = 0
x = - 6
- 6 is less than - 1
- 6 < - 1
It satisfies the inequality. Thus, x = - 6 is in the domain
For
4x - 2 = 0
adding 2 to both sides of the equation, we have
4x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2
4x = 2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have
4x/4 = 2/4
x = 1/2
x = 1/2 is less than 1. It is not in the domain of this equation. Thus, there is no x interscept at x = 1/2
Therefore, the x intercept of the piecewise function is (- 6, 0)
The pythagorean theorem says that a² + b² = c²
You're given the b and the c so substitute the values in: a² + 12² = 15²
a² + 144 = 225; subtract 144 from both sides
a² = 81; square root each side
a = 9, or choice C
Hello there! I can help you!
7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.
8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.
9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.
425000000000 cuz you do 17000000000 divided by .4
8m+24-20+m= 9m+4. "9m+4" is the answer
