Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

Three brothers Charlie Robert and Nicholas have 21 video games Charlie has twice as many games as Robert. Robert has 5 fewer gam

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The equation would be $4x-15=21$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Number of Video games = 21

Let the number of video game Nicholas has be 'x'.

Now Given:

Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

so we can say that;

number of video game Robert has = $x-5$

Also Given:

Charlie has twice as many games as Robert.

so we can say that;

number of video game Charlie has = $2(x-5)=2x-10$

we need to write the equation.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Total Number of Video games is equal to sum of number of video game Nicholas has, number of video game Robert has and number of video game Charlie has.

framing the equation we get;

$x+x-5+2x-10=21\\\\4x-15=21$

Hence The equation would be $4x-15=21$ .

On Solving we get;

Adding both side by 15 we get;

$4x-15+15=21+15\\\\4x=36$

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

$\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9$

Hence Nicholas has = 9 video games

Robert has = $x-5= 9-5=4$ video games

Charlie has = $2x-10 = 2\times9-10=18-10=8$ video games

<h3>How to infer the graphical form of a general equation</h3>

In this problem we have <em>general</em> equations of the form A · x² + B · y² + C · x + D · y + E = 0, which have to be modified into <em>standard</em> form to infer its <em>graphical</em> form. This procedure can be done by <em>algebra</em> properties:

16 · x² + 4 · y² + 96 · x - 8 · y + 84 = 0

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x)] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y)] = - 84

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x) + 144] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y) + 4] = 64

(4 · x + 12)² + (2 · y + 2)² = 64

4² · (x + 3)² + 2² · (y + 2)² = 64

(x + 3)² / 4 + (y + 2)² / 16 = 1 : Ellipse

x² + y² + 8 · x - 6 · y - 15 = 0

(x² + 8 · x) + (y² - 6 · y) = 15

(x² + 2 · 4 · x + 16) + (y² - 2 · 3 · y + 9) = 40

(x + 4)² + (y - 3)² = 40 : Circle

x² + 6 · x + 4 · y + 5 = 0

x² + 6 · x + 5 = - 4 · y

y = - (1 / 4) · x² - (3 / 2) · x - (5 / 4) : Parabola

The number of transistors per IC in 1972 seems to be about 4,000 (a rough estimate by eye). Using this estimate and Moore's Law,

spayn [35]

Answer:

The prediction for the number of transistor per IC in 1992 is of 4,194,304,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Moore's law:

Moore's law states that the number of transistors per IC doubles every year.

Format of the function:

Following Moore's law, t years after our initial estimative, the number of transistors per IC will be given by:

$N(t) = N(0)*2^t$

In which N(0) is the initial estimate.

The number of transistors per IC in 1972 seems to be about 4,000 (a rough estimate by eye).

This means that $N(0) = 4000$

$N(t) = 4000*2^t$

What would you predict the number of transistors per IC to be 20 years later, in 1992?

This is N(20). So

$N(20) = 4000*2^20 = 4194304000$

The prediction for the number of transistor per IC in 1992 is of 4,194,304,000

The top left graph is the only one correct. It rises up slowly then faster, and then stays constant for an hour, then decreases.
