Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

Which of the following graphs shows the preimage P(x)=x^2 and the image I(x)=P(1/3x)?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The picture with the widest graph in red

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph P(x) is the parent graph for all quadratic functions. It has a vertex of (0,0) and has the following points:

x      f(x)

-2      4

-1       1

0       0

1         1

2       4

The image of l(x) = P(1/3x) changes the points of the function to

x      f(x)

-2/3      4/9

-1/3        1/9

0       0

1/3        1/9

2/3       4/9

This makes the graph much wider. The graph with the widest red graph is the graph.

A cosine function has a period of 5, a maximum value of 20, and a minimum value of 0. The function is not a reflection of its pa
Alika [10]

Answer:

  A:  f(x)=10cos(2π/5 x)+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x in the cosine argument of the function will be 2π/period. Since the period is 5, the coefficient is 2π/5. This observation eliminates choices B and C.

The description "not a reflection of the parent function over the x-axis" means the multiplier of the cosine function is not negative, eliminating choice D.

The remaining choice A matches the description.
