Step 4: x = 5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

18 − (3x + 5) = 8

Step 1: 18 − 3x + 5 = 8

Correct Step 1: 18 - 3x - 5 = 8

Step 2: -3x + 23 = 8

Step 3: -3x = -15

Step 4: x = 5

Answers:

a = 69b = 47c = 116d = 93e = 86

==========================================================

Explanation:

For now, focus on the triangle with angles 'a', 71 and 40 degrees.

Recall that for any triangle, the inside angles always add to 180

a+71+40 = 180

a+111 = 180

a = 180-111

a = 69

---------------

Notice how angles b and 133 are adjacent and form a straight angle. This makes them supplementary. Meaning they add to 180

b+133 = 180

b = 180-133

b = 47

---------------

Let angle f be adjacent to angle c, and part of the triangle with angles 'a' and b.

Use the rule mentioned in the first section

a+b+f = 180

69+47+f = 180

116+f = 180

f = 180-116

f = 64

Now we can find angle c, because angles f and c are supplementary

c+f = 180

c+64 = 180

c = 180-64

c = 116

We could also use the remote interior angle theorem to say that a+b = c, so c = a+b = 69+47 = 116

---------------

Next, focus your attention on the 140 degree angle. The missing adjacent angle to this is 180-140 = 40 degrees

Now focus on the triangle that has angles d, 40, and 47. The "40" being what we just calculated in the previous paragraph.

We'll do the same thing as before

d+40+47 = 180

d+87 = 180

d = 180-87

d = 93

---------------

The angle just above angle d is also the same (vertical angles). This upper triangle has angles 40, d and g, where g is unknown. Let's find it.

40+d+g = 180

40+93+g = 180

133+g = 180

g = 180-133

g = 47

The vertical angle across from this is also 47 degrees.

Similarly, we can move that angle b over to its vertical pairing counterpart.

The smallest triangle at the very top has angles e, b, and g

e+b+g = 180

e+47+47 = 180

e+94 = 180

e = 180-94

e = 86

If the function f(2x + 3) = 3x- 8, find f -¹(x)​

Answers

Answer:

(2x + 35)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2x + 3) = 3x - 8

= 3(2x)/2 - 8

= 3(2x + 3 - 3)/2 - 8

= 3(2x + 3)/2 - 3(3)/2 - 8

= ( 3(2x + 3) - 25)/2

Therefore, f(x) = (3x - 25)/2

Let f(x) = (3x - 25)/2 = y

Therefore,

x = (2y + 35)/3 = f(y)

Hence,

f-¹(x) = f(y) = (2y + 35)/3

Just by merely replacing y,

f-¹(x) = (2x + 35)/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]let~g(x)=2x+3,~ then~f\circ g(x)=f(g(x)=3x-8\\\\[/tex]

lets assume that f(x) is a line, so f(x)=mx+b

[tex]f(g(x))=m(2x+3)+b=2mx+3m+b=3x-8[/tex]

the follow equation system results:

[tex]2m=3 \\ 3m+b=-8[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\b=-\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

finally:

[tex]y=f(x)=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

now is time to calculate the inverse function:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{25}{2}=>2y+25=3x=>x=\frac{2}{3}y+\frac{25}{3}[/tex]

so

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{25}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

  5x +2y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose 'a' is the x-intercept of the line.

Then the slope is given by the slope formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (0 -5)/(a -2)

And the y-intercept is ...

  b = y -mx = 5 -(-5/(a-2))(2) = 5 +10/(a -2)

The area of the triangle is half the product of 'a' and 'b', so is ...

  A = 1/2ab

  A = 1/2(a)(5 +10/(a -2)) = 2.5a +5a/(a-2)

The area is minimized when the derivative of this is zero.

  A' = 2.5 -10/(a -2)^2 = 0

Solving for 'a' gives ...

  (a -2)^2 = 10/2.5 = 4

  a = 2 + 2 = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . x-intercept

  b = 5 +10/(4 -2) = 10 . . . . . y-intercept

  m = -5/(4 -2) = -5/2 . . . . . . slope

An equation of the line is ...

  y = -5/2x +10 . . . . . slope-intercept form

  5x +2y = 20 . . . . . standard form

The third number is 17

Average

The average of numbers is the mean value of the numbers

The given parameters are:

Average = 25Numbers = 18 and 40

Assume the third number is x

So, the average is calculated as:

[tex]Average = \frac{\sum x}{3}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\frac{18 + 40 + x}{3} = 25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{58 + x}{3} = 25[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]58 + x = 75[/tex]

Subtract 58 from both sides

[tex]x = 17[/tex]

Hence, the third number is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

x = 80

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180. We have 30 and 70. This leaves us with 80 to complete a sum of 180.

Generally the equation for a Parabola is mathematically given by

 [tex]y=ax^2[/tex]

Since of the parabola has

Diameter [tex]d=16ft[/tex]

Depth [tex]dp=1ft[/tex]

Therefore it passes through
