Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= <u>(5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)</u>

h

The sum of two numbers is 110. The larger number is 2 less than 7 times the smaller. Find the larger number.
kumpel [21]
We call two numbers a and b, notice a>b
<span>The sum of two numbers is 110: a+b=110
</span><span>The larger number is 2 less than 7 times the smaller: a=7b-2
And by replacing a=7b-2 we have an equation: 7b-2+b=110
or 8b=110+2, and 8b=112, that means b=112:8= 14

We have two numbers: 14 and 96</span>

A pile of sand in the shape of a cone has a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 5 in.
max2010maxim [7]

if it has a diameter of 8, that means its radius is half that, or 4.

Find x and y. (4,3),(5,y); slope= 3
Delvig [45]
X could either be 4 or 5, depending on which x the question asks. If you have to chose one answer go with 5 because it's associated with the y.

Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest whole number.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6.  If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles:  (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.

Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.

The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid.  Its base is 4.  Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10.  Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.

Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.

which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48.  We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.

A scientist had 3/4 of a bottle of a solution. She used 1/6 of the solution in a experiment. How much of the bottle didi she use
Rashid [163]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 × 3/4

Multiply across top, then bottom

1×3=3

6×4=24

Then reduce if necessary.

3/24

Divide top and bottom by 3

3÷3=1

24÷3=8

You should get 1/8
