Mary is thinking of a mystery number. She reduces it by 15% then subtracts 5. The result is 29. Determine the mystery number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mystery number.

Create an equation to represent the situation, then solve for x:

0.85x - 5 = 29

0.85x = 34

x = 40

So, the mystery number is 40.

The table of values represents a linear function g(x), where x is the number of days that have passed and g(x) is the balance in the bank account:




Part A: Find and interpret the slope of the function. (3 points)

Part B: Write the equation of the line in point-slope, slope-intercept, and standard forms. (3 points)

Part C: Write the equation of the line using function notation. (2 points)

Part D: What is the balance in the bank account after 5 days? (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The slope is found by

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 1200-1500)/(4-0)

    = -300/4

    =-75

Part B

point slope  y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-1200 = -75(x-4)

slope intercept  y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -75x + 1500

standard form  Ax+By =C

75x + y = 1500

Part C

Change y to g(x) in the slope intercept form

g(x) = -75x + 1500

Part D

Let x = 5

g(5) = -75(5) + 1500

      =-375+1500

      =1125

answer:

step-by-step explanation:
part a:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = m
(2, 1350) (4, 1200)
(x1, y1) (x2, y2)
1200 - 1350 / 4 - 2 = m
-150 / 2 = m
-75 = m
part b:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1350 = -75(x - 2)
y = mx + b
y = -75x + 1500
ax + by = c
y = -75x + 1500
+75 +75
75y = x + 1500
- x -x
75y - x = 1500
part c:
f(x) = -75x + 1500
part d:
f(5) = -75(5) + 1500
f(5) = -375 + 1500
f(5) = 1125

The ratio of two numbers is 9 to 8, and their sum is 187. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer:  99 and 88

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

Explanation:

The ratio of the two numbers is 9 to 8, which we can write as shorthand into 9:8

Multiplying both parts by x gets us the ratio 9x:8x where x is nonzero.

The numbers 9x and 8x add up to 187, so,

9x+8x = 187

17x = 187

x = 187/17

x = 11

Which then means

9x = 9*11 = 998x = 8*11 = 88

are the two numbers. Note how 9x+8x = 99+88 = 187 to help confirm the answers. Furthermore, note how 99:88 reduces to 9:8 after dividing both parts by the GCF 11.

Answer:

99 and 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two number be 9x and 8x

Add together

9x+8x = 187

17x = 187

Divide by 17

17x/17 = 187/17

x = 11

The numbers are

9*11 = 99

and 8*11 = 88

Answer:

vertical shift: 7 (up)horizontal shift: 2 (right)vertical asymptote: x=2domain: x > 2range: all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

For any function f(x), the transformation f(x -h) +k represents a horizontal shift of h units to the right and k units upward.

Here, the parent function is log₂(x) and the transformation to log₂(x -2) +7 represents translation 2 units right and 7 units upward.

The parent function has a vertical asymptote at x=0, so the shifted function will have a vertical asymptote at x-2=0, or x = 2.

The parent function has a domain of x > 0, so the shifted function will have a domain of x-2 > 0, or x > 2.

The parent function has a range of "all real numbers." Shifting the function vertically does not change that range. The range of the shifted function is still "all real numbers."

The graph is shown below. The vertical asymptote is the dashed orange line.

_____

The "work" is in matching the pattern f(x -h) +k to the function log₂(x -2) +7.

The property taxes on a house were $1000. What was the tax rate if the house was valued at $125,000

Answers

Answer:

The tax rate was 0.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

x = tax rate

1000/125000 = x/100

Cross multiply:

1000 × 100 = 125000 × x

100000 = 125000x

0.8 = x

Check your work:

1000/125000 = 0.8/100

0.008 = 0.008

Correct!

Another way to check your work:

1000 × 100 = 125000 × 0.8

100000 = 100000

Correct!

Jason can peel 15 potatoes in 25 minutes. Janette can peel 8 potatoes in 1/10 hour. If they start peeling at the same time how many
minutes will it take them to peel 406 potatoes?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  210 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's rate of peeling is ...

  (15 potatoes)/(25 minutes) = 15/25 potatoes/minute = 3/5 potatoes/minute

Janette's rate of peeing potatoes is ...

  (8 potatoes)/(6 minutes) = 4/3 potatoes/minute

Their combined rate is ...

  (3/5 +4/3) = (9 +20)/15 = 29/15 . . . . potatotes/minute

Then the time required for 406 potatoes is ...

  (406 potatoes)/(29/15 potatoes/minute) = (406×15/29) minutes

  = 210 minutes

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

9.562 in5.438 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of side lengths of a rectangle is half the perimeter, so is 15 inches for this brochure. If x is one of the side lengths, then (15 -x) is the other one, and the area is ...

  x(15 -x) = 52

  x^2 -15x = -52 . . . . multiply by -1 and expand

  (x -7.5)^2 = -52 +56.25 = 4.25 . . .  complete the square

  x = 7.5 ±√4.25 ≈ {5.438, 9.562} . . . inches

The longer side is 7+√4.25 ≈ 9.562 inches; the shorter side is 7-√4.25 ≈ 5.438 inches.

1. How can you determine the end behaviors for a graph from the function? What are the possible behaviors?

2. How is solving a polynomial inequality different from a solving a polynomial equation? How do the solutions differ?

3. What is a composite function? How does order of the composite function play a role in solving the composition?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

1. End behavior is the behavior of the function when the value of the independent variable gets large (or otherwise approaches the end of the domain). There are generally four kinds of end behavior:

the function approaches a constant (horizontal asymptote)the function approaches a function (slant asymptote, for example)the function oscillates between two of the above end behaviorsthe function tends toward +∞ or -∞

Of these, behavior 2 will ultimately look like one of the others.

For polynomials, the function will always approach ±∞ as the independent variable approaches ±∞. Whether the signs of the infinities agree or not depends on the even/odd degree of the polynomial, and the sign of its leading coefficient.

For exponential functions, the end behavior is a horizontal asymptote in one direction and a tending toward ±∞ in the other direction.

For trig functions sine and cosine, the end behavior is the same as the "middle" behavior: the function oscillates between two extreme values.

For rational functions (ratios of polynomials), the end behavior will depend on the difference in degree between numerator and denominator. If the degree of the denominator is greater than or equal to that of the numerator, the function will have a horizontal asymptote. If the degree of the numerator is greater, then the end behavior will asymptotically approach the quotient of the two functions—often a "slant asymptote".

__

2. A polynomial inequality written in the form f(x) ≥ 0, or f(x) > 0, will be solved by first identifying the real zeros of the function f(x), including the multiplicity of each. For positive values of x greater than the largest zero, the sign of the function will match the sign of the leading coefficient. The sign will change at each zero that has odd multiplicity, so one can work right to left to identify the sign of the function in each interval between odd-multiplicity zeros.

The value of the function will be zero at each even-multiplicity zero, but will not change sign there. Obviously, the zero at that point will not be included in the solution interval if the inequality is f(x) > 0, but will be if it is f(x) ≥ 0. Once the sign of the function is identified in each interval, the solution to the inequality becomes evident.

As a check on your work, you will notice that the sign of the function for x > max(zeros) will be the same as the sign of the function for x < min(zeros) if the function is of even degree; otherwise, the signs will be different.

The solution to a polynomial inequality is a set of intervals on the real number line. The solution to a polynomial equation is a set of points, which may be in the complex plane.

__

3. A composite function is a function of a function, or a function of a composite function. For example f(g(x)) is a composite function. The composition can be written using either of the equivalent forms ...

  [tex](f\circ g)(x)\ \Leftrightarrow\ f(g(x))[/tex]

It can be easy to confuse an improperly written composition operator with a multiplication symbol, so the form f(g(x)) is preferred when the appropriate typography is not available.

When simplifying the form of a composition, the Order of Operations applies. That is, inner parenthetical expressions are evaluated (or simplified) first. As with any function, the argument of the function is substituted wherever the independent variable appears.

For example, in computing the value f(g(2)), first the value of g(2) is determined, then that value is used as the argument of the function f. The same is true of other arguments, whether a single variable, or some complicated expression, or even another composition.

Note that the expression f(g(x)) is written as the composition shown above. The expression g(f(x)) would be written using the composition operator with g on the left of it, and f on the right of it:

  [tex](g\circ f)(x)\ \Leftrightarrow\ g(f(x))[/tex]

That is, with respect to the argument of the composition, the functions in a composition expression are right-associative. For example, ...

  for h(x)=2x+3, g(x)=x^2, f(x)=x-2 we can evaluate f(g(h(x)) as follows:

  f(g(h(x)) = f(g(2x+3) = f((2x+3)^2) = (2x+3)^2 -2

It should be obvious that g(h(f(x)) will have a different result.

  g(h(f(x)) = g(h(x-2)) = g(2(x-2)+3) = (2(x-2)+3)^2

What is Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side). Equations can be solved to find the value of an unknown variable representing an unknown quantity. If there is no 'equal to' symbol in the statement, it means it is not an equation.

Given equation:

x^7 - 11x^6 +48X^5 - 120x^4 + 225x^3 - 243x^2 - 162X + 486 = 0.

x^7 +48X^5+ 225x^3+ 486 = 11x^6+ - 120x^4 + 243x^2 + 162x
