Answer:

The least number of stamps required is $9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of $3$ cent stamps be $x$ and $4$ cent stamps be $y$

We have

$3x+4y=33$

The minimum number is obtained when more $4$ cent stamps are used

Here $y$ cannot be greater than $8$ since $\frac{33}{4}$

Substitute $y=8$

$3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}$

Not possible since $x$ is not a fraction

Substitute $y=7$

$3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}$

Not possible since $x$ is not a fraction

Substitute $y=6$

$3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3$

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

$=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9$

Let h(x) = (g o f)(x) = sqrt{x+3}

Debora [2.8K]

I am assuming you meant to write the following options

A. f(x)=x+3; g(x)=√x
B. f(x)=x; g(x)=x+3
C. f(x)=√x; g(x)=x+3
D. f(x)=3x; g(x)=√x

You need to find a fucntion f(x) that once evaluated in g(x) gives us as a result h(x)

h(x) = g(f(x))

Looking at the options, the answer is A.

g(f(x)) = sqrt(f(x)) = sqrt (x + 3) = h(x)

Timmy is building a new website. Right after he starts, he has 2 visitors. He expects his visitors to increase according to a mo

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

He gets 42 visitors 4 weeks after starting to build his website.

He gets 10 new visitors per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for the number of visitors:

The equation for the number of visitors Timmy's new website receives after t weeks is:

$v(t) = 10t + b$

In which b is the number of visitors rightly after he starts.

Timmy is building a new website. Right after he starts, he has 2 visitors.

This means that $b = 2$ , so:

$v(t) = 10t + 2$

How many visitors does he get 4 weeks after starting to build his website?

This is v(4). So

$v(4) = 10(4) + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42$

He gets 42 visitors 4 weeks after starting to build his website.

How any new visitors does he get per week?

After 0 weeks:

$v(0) = 10(0) + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2$

After 1 week:

$v(1) = 10(1) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12$

2 weeks:

After 2 week:

$v(2) = 10(2) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22$

22 - 12 = 12 - 2 = 10

He gets 10 new visitors per week.

URGENT WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! 50 POINTS!<br> Find the value of x so that f(x) = 3.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f(x) basically means y. So f(x) = 3 translates to y=3.

2. At y=3, you can see it meets at x=2.

(a) Use the definition to find an expression for the area under the curve y = x3 from 0 to 1 as a limit. lim n→∞ n i = 1 Correct

Luba_88 [7]

Splitting up the interval of integration into $n$ subintervals gives the partition

$\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]$

Each subinterval has length $\dfrac{1-0}n=\dfrac1n$ . The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence

$r_i=\dfrac in$

with $i=1,2,3,\ldots,n$ . Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{{r_i}^3}n$

and taking the limit as $n\to\infty$ gives the area exactly. We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac in\right)^3=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4n^3}=\boxed{\frac14}$
