x = -3

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDASEquality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

-2x + 14 = 20

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 14 on both sides:                    -2x = 6Divide -2 on both sides:                        x = -3

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    -2(-3) + 14 = 20Multiply:                               6 + 14 = 20Add:                                     20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.

You have given a function λ : R → R with the following properties (x ∈ R, n ∈ N):

λ(n) = 0 , λ(x + 1) = λ(x) , λ(n+1/2)=1

Find two functions p, q : R → R with q(x)6=0 for all x such that λ(x) = q(x)(p(x) + 1).​

Answers

Answer:

One possible combination:

[tex]p(x) = \sin(2\, \pi \, x) - 1[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle q(x) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \lambda(x) = \frac{1}{2}\, \sin(2\, \pi\, x) - \frac{1}{2} + 1 = \frac{1}{2}\, \sin(2\, \pi\, x) + \frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirement that [tex]\lambda(x + 1) = \lambda(x)[/tex] for all [tex]x \in \mathbb{R}[/tex] suggests that [tex]\lambda[/tex] should be a cyclic function with a period of [tex]1[/tex].

One such example is the sine function. Let [tex]\omega[/tex] denote a non-zero real number. Consider the expression [tex]\sin(\omega\, x)[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}\sin(\omega\, x) &= \sin(\omega\, x + 2\, \pi) \\ &= \sin\left(\omega\, \left(x + \frac{2\, \pi}{\omega}\right)\right)\end{aligned}[/tex].

Note how replacing [tex]x[/tex] with [tex]\displaystyle \left(x + \frac{2\, \pi}{\omega}\right)[/tex] does not change the value of [tex]\sin(\omega\, x)[/tex]. Therefore, the period of [tex]\sin(\omega\, x)\![/tex] would be [tex]\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{\omega}[/tex].

The question requires that replacing the [tex]x[/tex] with [tex](x + 1)[/tex] should not change the value of [tex]\lambda(x)[/tex]. In other words, the period of [tex]\lambda[/tex] should be [tex]1[/tex]. If [tex]\lambda(x)\![/tex] is indeed in the form [tex]\sin(\omega\, x)[/tex], the value of [tex]\omega[/tex] should ensure that [tex]\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{\omega} = 1[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\omega = 2\,\pi[/tex].

It would take a few more transformations to ensure that for all integers [tex]n[/tex],[tex]\displaystyle \lambda(n) = 0[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \lambda\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right) = 1[/tex].

One possible approach is to make each [tex]n[/tex] a trough of this function, and each [tex]\displaystyle\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right)[/tex] a crest of this function. The corresponding sine wave would have a range of only [tex]1[/tex]. However, without any transformation, [tex]y = \sin(2\, \pi\, x)[/tex] would have a range of two.

Therefore, it would be necessary to compress [tex]y = \sin(2\, \pi\, x)[/tex] vertically by a factor of [tex]2[/tex], so that its range meets the needs.

[tex]y = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \sin(2\, \pi\, x)[/tex] is the output of one such compression and has the correct period and range. However, its troughs would be at [tex]y = -\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}[/tex] (rather than [tex]y = 0[/tex]) whereas its crests are at [tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] (rather than [tex]y = 1[/tex].) It would be necessary to shift this function upwards by [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}[/tex] unit for the troughs and crests to meet match the ones in the requirements.

[tex]\begin{aligned} y &= \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \sin(2\, \pi\, x) + \frac{1}{2} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\, \sin(2\, \pi\, x) - \frac{1}{2} + 1 = \frac{1}{2}\left(\sin(2\, \pi\, x) - 1\right) + 1\end{aligned}[/tex].

What is the slope and y intercept for 14X - 7Y = 28

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 4 (the slope is 2 or 2/1 and the y-intercept is -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 14x from both sides of the equation.

This should get you  -7y = 28 - 14x.

Then you need to divide by -7 on both sides.

y = -4 + 2x is the result

which you can switch around if you like and get y = 2x - 4

Therefore, cost of 44 notebooks = 720/6 x 44

= 120 x 44

= 5,280

Therefore, the cost of 44 notebooks will be 5,280

Six times a number plus twice a second number is four. Twice the first number plus four times the second number is 18. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

equation 1.      6a + 2b = 14   ( times this equation by -2)

equation  2.      2a + 4b = 18

equation 1 becomes    -12a - 4b = -28

equation 2. remains.    2a  + 4b  = 18

Cancel out the b’s

-10 a =  -10   (Divide both sides by -10)

a = 1

substitute 1 for a  to find b
