6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let ratio be 4x and 3x

sum : 490$

4x+3x = 490

7x=490

x=490/7

Hence x = 70

first daughter gets = 4x =4 x 70 = 280

second daughter gets =3x = 3x 70 = 210

first daugter gets the larger share

the spice recipe calls for 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper for every 1 1/4 tsp of black pepper. you use 6 tsp of crushed red peppe

aksik [14]

15 tsp of black pepper was used. 2 half tsp = one whole tsp. 12 half tsp is equivalent to 6 tsp. Multiply 1 1/4 by 12 and you get 15. <span />

Can anyone simplify 24q2/8q-3

Morgarella [4.7K]

24q^2 / 8q^-3

lets break this down...
24/8 = 3

q^2 / q^-3....when dividing exponents with the same base, keep the base and subtract the exponents. q^2 / q^-3 = q^(2 -(-3) = q^(2 + 3) = q^5

put them together and u get : 3q^5

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b(x)= squareroot x-4, what is the domain of (b*a)(x)?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

$\boxed{ \ x \geq 1 \ }$ or can be written as $\boxed{ \ [1, \infty) \ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This is a question about the composition of functions and how to get a domain function.

Given $\boxed{ \ a(x) = 3x + 1 \ }$ and $\boxed{ \ b(x) = \sqrt{x - 4} \ }$ .

We will form (b o a)(x) and then determine the domain.

$\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = b(a(x)) \ }$

Replace each appearance of x in b(x) with $\boxed{ \ a(x) = 3x + 1 \ }$ .

$\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{(3x + 1) - 4} \ }$

Thus, $\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3} \ }$

To be defined, the value under the radical sign must not be negative. Therefore, the domain of $(b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3}$ are processed as follows.

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 3 \geq 0 \ }$

Both sides added by 3.

$\boxed{ \ 3x \geq 3 \ }$

Both sides divided by 3.

$\boxed{ \ x\geq 1 \ }$

Thus, the domain of $(b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3}$ is $\boxed{ \ x \geq 1 \ }$ or can be written as $\boxed{ \ [1, \infty) \ }$

The GCD(a, b) = 9, the LCM(a, b)=378. Find the least possible value of a+b.

denis-greek [22]

$\mathrm{gcd}(a,b)=9\implies9\mid a\text{ and }9\mid b\implies9\mid a+b$

which means there is some integer $k$ for which $a+b=9k$ .

Because $9\mid a$ and $9\mid b$ , there are integers $n_1,n_2$ such that $a=9n_1$ and $b=9n_2$ , and

$\mathrm{lcm}(a,b)=\mathrm{lcm}(9n_1,9n_2)=9\mathrm{lcm}(n_1,n_2)=378\implies\mathrm{lcm}(n_1,n_2)=42$

We have $42=2\cdot3\cdot7$ , which means there are four possible choices of $n_1,n_2$ :

1, 42
2, 21
3, 14
6, 7

which is to say there are also four corresponding choices for $a,b$ :

9, 378
18, 189
27, 126
54, 63

whose sums are:

387
207
153
117

So the least possible value of $a+b$ is 117.
