Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x - 5 and g(x) = 5x

- f(x + 1) = - ( x + 1 - 5 ) = 4 - x

- 3g(x - 1 ) = - 3 [ 5 (x - 1)] = 15 - 15x

h(x) = 4 - x + 15 - 15x = 19 - 16x

h(3) = 19 - 16(3) = - 29

What value of m makes this equation true?

iris [78.8K]

The correct answer is B) m=-8

First, add 9 on both sides of the equation. You should end up with 4m=-32.

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 4. You should end up with m=-8. (A negative divided by a positive equals a negative)

Hope this helps! Have a great day ;)

Wyatt is hiking a trail that is 11/12 miles long. After hiking 1/4 mile, he stops for water. How much farther must he hike to fi

ankoles [38]

Answer:

He had hiked 3/12 of a mile so the answer is 8/12 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to make 1/4 into twelves by multiplying both sides by 3 to get 3/12.

You take that and subtract it from the total distance. 11/12 - 3/12 = 8/12

If u+v+w=0, show that u x v = v x w = w x u.

Flauer [41]

Take the cross product of both sides of $\mathbf u+\mathbf v+\mathbf w=\mathbf0$ with $\mathbf u,\mathbf v,\mathbf w$ to generate a system of three simultaneous equations.

$(\mathbf u+\mathbf v+\mathbf w)\times\left\{\begin{matrix}\mathbf u\\\mathbf v\\\mathbf w\end{matrix}\right\}=\mathbf0\times\left\{\begin{matrix}\mathbf u\\\mathbf v\\\mathbf w\end{matrix}\right\}$
$\implies\begin{cases}\mathbf u\times\mathbf u+\mathbf u\times\mathbf v+\mathbf u\times\mathbf w=\mathbf0\\\mathbf v\times\mathbf u+\mathbf v\times\mathbf v+\mathbf v\times\mathbf w=\mathbf0\\\mathbf w\times\mathbf u+\mathbf w\times\mathbf v+\mathbf w\times\mathbf w=\mathbf0\end{cases}$
$\implies\begin{cases}\mathbf u\times\mathbf v+\mathbf u\times\mathbf w=\mathbf0\\\mathbf v\times\mathbf u+\mathbf v\times\mathbf w=\mathbf0\\\mathbf w\times\mathbf u+\mathbf w\times\mathbf v=\mathbf0\end{cases}$

since $\mathbf x\times\mathbf x=\mathbf0$ for any vector $\mathbf x$ .

Finally, use the fact that the cross product is anticommutative, i.e. $\mathbf x\times\mathbf y=-\mathbf y\times\mathbf x$ . The conclusion follows.
