Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

\frac{n}{2}

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

\frac{n}{2}*4

the product was added to 9

\frac{n}{2}*4+9

the total sum was 25

\frac{n}{2}*4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

\frac{n}{2}*4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8

1) Suppose f(x) = x2 and g(x) = |x|. Then the composites (fog)(x) = |x|2 = x2 and (gof)(x) = |x2| = x2 are both differentiable a
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

This contradict of the chain rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=|x|

It is given that,

(f\circ g)(x)=|x|^2=x^2

(g\circ f)(x)=|x^2|=x^2

According to chin rule,

(f\circ g)(c)=f(g(c))=f'(g(c)g'(c)

It means, (f\circ g)(c) is differentiable if f(g(c)) and g(c) is differentiable at x=c.

Here g(x) is not differentiable at x=0 but both compositions are differentiable, which is a contradiction of the chain rule

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation 2x−5=−y?
Liula [17]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to get the equation into y = mx + b form, like this:

Add y to both sides to get y + 2x − 5= 0

Then subtract 2x to get y - 5 = -2x

Add 5 to get y = -2x + 5

Now we know the slope is -2, or -2/1.

A line that is perpendicular to it has a slope that is the first line's slope's opposite reciprocal. This means flip the fraction upside down and change the sign, which gives you positive 1/2.
