(3) An estate was to be divided among five people. The first person received 1/8 of the estate. The next two people each received 1/5 of the estate. The fourth person received 1/10 of the estate. What fractional part of the estate did the last person receive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

An estate has to be divided among the 5 persons.

Given that the 1st person received 1/8 of the estate,

the 2nd person received 1/5 of the estate,

the 3rd person received 1/5 of the estate,

and the 4th person received 1/10 of the estate.

Let the 5th person received the x part of the estate.

The sum of all the fractional parts of one estate equals to 1, so

[tex]\frac 1 8+\frac 1 5+\frac 1 5+\frac 1 {10}+x=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 5 8 +x =1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x =1-\frac 5 8 =\frac 3 8.[/tex]

Hence, the last person received 3/8  of the estate.

If you have the equation of different situations into y = mx + b, What do m and b represent?
A
m represents the y-intercept and b represents the slope.
B
m represents the growth and b represents the initial value.
m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
D
m represents the growth and b represents the Figure #0.

Answers

Answer:

C. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of straight line is usually expressed as:

       y  = mx + b

Where y is the vertical axis component

           x is the horizontal axis component

           m is the slope

           b is the y-intercept

At the y-intercept, x = 0

Also, the slope is the rise divided by the run.

Which pair of functions are inverses of each other?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse means that the function is reversed from the original function, f(x).

To find the inverse function of f(x)=5x-11, add 11 to x, then divide the expression by 5.

This would be (x+11)/5.

So, you know that A is true.

Try the other selections too.

B: [tex]g(x)=x^3/2[/tex]       The x should be tripled before being divided by 2; FALSE

C: [tex]g(x)=7/(x+9)[/tex]     7 should by in the numerator; FALSE

D: [tex]g(x)=6(x+8)[/tex]    8 should be added before being multiplied by 6; FALSE

I hope this helps!!!

Using composite functions, it is found that the pair of functions that are inverse of each other is given by:

A. [tex]f(x) = 5x - 11[/tex] and [tex]g(x) = \frac{x + 11}{5}[/tex]

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

The composite of functions f and g is given by:

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

Two functions f and g are inverse of each other if:

[tex]f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]f(x) = 5x - 11[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = \frac{x + 11}{5}[/tex]

[tex]f(g(x)) = f(\frac{x + 11}{5}) = 5(\frac{x + 11}{5}) - 11 = x + 11 - 11 = x[/tex]

[tex]g(f(x)) = g(5x - 11) = \frac{5x - 11 + 11}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} = x[/tex]

Since [tex]f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x[/tex], these functions are inverse of each other.

A. The shirt will have the lowest price with the $20 off coupon
B. The shirt will have the lowest price with the 20% off coupon.
C. The shirt will cost the same with either coupon.
D. It depends on the cost of the shirt as to which coupon will help John pay the lowest
price

Answers

Answer: D. It depends on the cost of the shirt as to which coupon will help John pay the lowest price.

Step-by-step explanation:

You do not know how much a 20% discount is unless you know the price of the shirt. This can be more or less than $20, so you don’t know.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if a shirt was $100 dollars, 100-20 = 80 and 100 x .8 = 80

But if the shirt cost $35, 35-20 = 15 while 35 times .8 = 28

This shows that the cost of the shirt is important in discovering which coupon is better.
