Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Choice C)  1/2</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's plug 8 into f(x)

f(x) = \frac{x+3}{x^2-4x-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{8^2-4(8)-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{64-32-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{11}{11}\\\\f(8) = 1\\\\

Repeat for g(x)

g(x) = \log_{4}(x)\\\\g(8) = \log_{4}(8)\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(8)}{\log(4)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(2^3)}{\log(2^2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3*\log(2)}{2*\log(2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3}{2}\\\\

I used the change of base formula in the third step.

Lastly, we subtract the results like so

(g-f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)\\\\(g-f)(8) = g(8) - f(8)\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - 1\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3-2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{1}{2}\\\\

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Choice A)  8</h3>

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

Explanation:

Through trial and error (I recommend the rational root theorem), you should find that the roots of R(x) are:  -1, 3, and 8

We'll only focus on positive x values. So we focus on the roots 3 and 8.

It turns out that the R(x) curve dips below the x axis when x is between 3 and 8. When x > 8 is when R(x) is positive and goes upward forever. This represents when the company is making money.

The company does make money when x is between 0 and 3; however, this is a short timespan compared to the other interval. So it's much more effective and realistic to say that the company makes money after 8 days.

In other words, yes the company makes money between day 0 and day 3, but from day 3 to day 8 is when the company loses money. Ultimately the company is profitable again when it's beyond day 8.

Find the sum: 4 radical 3 + 11 radical 12
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

26\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find 4\sqrt{3} +11\sqrt{12}. 11\sqrt{12} can be written as 11\sqrt{4*3}=11*\sqrt{4} *\sqrt{3}=11*2*\sqrt{3}=22\sqrt{3}, so we can now write our original equation as: 4\sqrt{3}+22\sqrt{3}.

We can combine like terms: 4\sqrt{3}+22\sqrt{3}=26\sqrt{3}

Hope this helps!

Ming and ivy each sell lemonade. Ming spends $15 on supplies and and all plans to charge $1.50 per cup. Ivy spends $20 on suppli
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x - 15 dollars = x - 20    Add 15 to both sides.

1.5x - 15 + 15 = x - 20 + 15

1.5x = x - 5                          They will never coincide.

1.5x-x = - 5

0.5x = - 5                            Multiply by 2

x = - 10

I would check your question.
