The functionſ is defined by f(x) = x(x + 3). If f(a) = 40 and a > 0, what is the value of a ?
A) 3
B) 5
C) 7
D) 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x)=x(x+3)[/tex]

We are given that f(a) = 40 and a > 0 and we want to determine the value of a.

Substitute:

[tex]f(a)=40=a(a+3)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]a^2+3a=40[/tex]

Subtract 40 from both sides:

[tex]a^2+3a-40=0[/tex]

We can factor using 8 and -5. Hence:

[tex](a+8)(a-5)=0[/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]a+8=0\text{ or } a-5=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]\displaystyle a=-8\text{ or } a=5[/tex]

Since a > 0, we can eliminate the first solution. Hence:

[tex]a=5[/tex]

Our answer is B.

Complete the remainder of the table for the given function rule: y= x/4 + 7

Answers

Let's replace x with -4 and simplify

y = (x/4) + 7

y = (-4/4) + 7

y = -1 + 7

y = 6

This means x = -4 and y = 6 pair up together.

So 6 goes in the box under the -4

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

Repeat those steps for x = 0

y = (x/4) + 7

y = (0/4) + 7

y = 0 + 7

y = 7

So 7 goes in the box under the 0

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

Let's repeat those steps for x = 4

y = (x/4) + 7

y = (4/4) + 7

y = 1 + 7

y = 8

So 8 goes in the box under the 4

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

Lastly, for x = 8, we get

y = (x/4) + 7

y = (8/4) + 7

y = 2 + 7

y = 9

9 goes in the box under the 8

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

The y outputs we got were: 6, 7, 8, 9

Notice how each time y increases by 1, x goes up by 4.

This means slope = rise/run = 1/4

We can think of x/4 as (1/4)x to help see that the slope is 1/4.

A function assigns the values. The value of the y in the given table should be 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively.

What is a Function?

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

The function of the x and y is given y=(x/4)+7, use this function to find the value of y for the given values of x. Thus,

x = -4

y = (-4/4)+7

y = -1+7

y = 6

x = 0

y = (0/4)+7

y = 7

x = 4

y = (4/4)+7

y = 8

x = 8

y=(8/4)+7

y = 9

Hence, the value of the y in the given table should be 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively.

A swimmer can swim 50.2 meters in 1 minute. How far can he swim in half an hour? *

Answers

Answer:

1506meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1hour-60minutes

which means half an hour is 30minutes,so it's more like they are asking you to find how far the swimmer can swim in 30minutes

50.2-1min

x -30min

x=50.2×30

x=1506meters

1 hour - 60 mins
Half an hour - 60 x 1/2 = 30

How to determine the number of servings?

The given parameters are:

Available = 3 poundsContent per serving = 8 oz

Next, we convert oz to pounds

Content per serving = 8 * 0.0625 pound

This gives

Content per serving = 0.5 pound

The number of serving is then calculated as:

Number = Available/Content per serving

This gives

Number = 3/0.5

Evaluate

Number = 6

The current population of Fun City is 21000 people. If the population of the city will double every 51 years then the population after 171 years would be

Answers

Answer:

The population of Fun City after 171 years would be 214563.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement depicts a case of exponential growth, whose model is described below:

[tex]p(t) = p_{o}\cdot r^{\frac{t}{T} }[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]p_{o}[/tex] - Initial population, no unit.

[tex]p(t)[/tex] - Current population, no unit.

[tex]r[/tex] - Growth rate, no unit.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in years.

[tex]T[/tex] - Growth period, in years.

If we know that [tex]p_{o} = 21000[/tex], [tex]r = 2[/tex], [tex]t = 171\,yr[/tex] and [tex]T = 51\,yr[/tex], then the population of the city after 171 years is:

Step-by-step explanation:

greeetings from Turkey ツ

Answer:

1st drop box: (1) 7.5x - 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x

2nd drop box: (4) x > 105.8

3rd drop box: (4) 106

Step-by-step explanation:

1st drop box:

Revenue (the money you receive) must be greater than the costs (money you spend) to make a profit.

2nd drop box:

Use basic algebra to solve for x:

7.5x - 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x

(subtract 5.8x from both sides)

1.7x - 100 > 79.86

(add 100 to both sides)

1.7x > 179.86

(divide both sides by 1.7)

x > 105.8

3rd drop box:

We already know the solution to the inequality is x > 105.8

Notice how all the answer choices are whole numbers and the inequality sign is "greater than" and not "greater than or equal to".

That means it doesn't include 105.8

And it can't be 105 because 105 is NOT greater than 105.8

So the answer is 106

Answers

Answer:

6x+y=30

-9x+3y=-18

Solving by substitution means that you have to express one of the variables (from one the equations) through the other one and substitute in the second equation.

In this example it is easier to express y through x in the first equation: y=30-6x. Put the expression for y in the second equation and solve for x.

-9x+3(30-6x)=-18 (divide by -3)

3x-30+6x=6

9x=36

x=4,  

y=30-6x=30-24=6
