Functions f(x) and g(x) are composed to form h(x) = sqrt(x ^ 3- 2) if f(x) = sqrt(x + 2) and g(x) =x^3+a. What is the value of a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a = -4

Step-by-step explanation: Function Composition is when two functions f(x) and g(x) result in another function h(x), such that h(x) = f(g(x)). In other words, put the result of one function into the other one.

In this situation,

h(x) = f(g(x))

which means

h(x) = f(x³+a)

h(x) = [tex]\sqrt{x^{3}+a+2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{x^{3}-2} =\sqrt{x^{3}+a+2}[/tex]

Now, to find a, we separate equal terms:

1) Both are squared, so we can "eliminate" the square;

2) x³ = x³;

3) [tex]-2=a+2[/tex]

[tex]a=-4[/tex]

For function composition h(x) = f(g(x)), the value of a is -4.

Damarcus and Xavier went to the arcade to play their two favorite games. Damarcus played 4 rounds of game 1 and 6 rounds of game 2 for $18.00. Xavier played 5 rounds of each game for $20. What is the cost of game 1?

Answers

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let game 1 = x ; game 2 = y

4x + 6y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 5y = 20 - - - (2)

From (2)

x + y = 4

y = 4 - x

Substitute y = 4-x in (1)

4x + 6(4 - x) = 18

4x + 24 - 6x = 18

-2x = 18 - 24

-2x = - 6

x = 6/2

x = 3

Game 1 cost $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1/2 bucket of nut fills 2/3 of barrel ;

Letbthe number of bucket if nut which fills entire barrel = x

Fraction of entire barrel = 1 /1 = 1

1/2 bucket = 2/3 barrel

x buckets = 1 barrel

Cross multiply ;

(2/3)x = 1/2

2x / 3 = 1/2

2x * 2 = 3 * 1

4x = 3

x = 3/4

Hence, 3/4 bucket of nut will fill entire barrel

Divide 180° by 9 to find the value of one part of the ratio

180° ÷ 9 = 20° ← value of 1 part of ratio , then

Gerald's Horse Supply Company charges $0.85 per pound to ship horse supplies.

Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies.
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship horse supplies by $0.06 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies with the reduced cost.

Answers

Answer:

c = 0.85 ; $1.7 ; c = 0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Cost per pound of supply shipped = $0.85

Total cost, c to ship p pounds of horse supply

Total cost = cost per pound * pound of supply

c = 0.85 * p

c = 0.85p

Cost of shipping 2 pounds :

c = 0.85 * 2

c = $1. 7

B.)

Reduction in shipping cost :

Reduced cost = $0.85 - $0.06 = $0.79

Total cost = cost per pound * pound of supply

c = 0.79 * p

c = 0.79p

A spinner has eight equal sections numbered from 1–8. Predict how many times the pointer will land on a 2 or a 5 if you spin the spinner 60 times.

Answers

Answer:

15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

By spinning once, the probability of landing on 2 is 1/8

The probability of landing on 5 is 1/8

The probability of landing on 2 or 5 is 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4

So spinning 60 times, the number of times we expect a landing on 2 or 5 will be ;

1/4 * 60 = 15 times

The last time it placed an order for ingredients, Sweet Treats Bakery ordered 7,720 kilograms of sugar. This time, the bakery is ordering 13,510 kilograms. What is the percent of increase in the size of the sugar order?

Answers

Answer:

The percent of increase in the size of the sugar order is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of increase in the size of the sugar order, you can use the following formula:

% increase = ((New number-Original number) ÷ Original Number)x100

New number=13,510

Original number=7,720

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

% increase = ((13,510-7,720) ÷ 7,720)x100

% increase = (5,790 ÷ 7,720)x100

% increase = 0.75x100

% increase = 75%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of increase in the size of the sugar order is 75%.

i think 75%

A chess tournament was being held. This single-elimination tournament (in which paired competitors
played matches and only the winner of a match continued to the next round) began with 16 competitors.
How many matches were played?

A total of matches were played. _____

I really need help with this problem!

Answers

Answer:

A total of 15 matches were played.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of matches that were played in the chess tournament, knowing that there are 16 participants who face each other in a tournament of direct elimination, the following logical reasoning must be carried out:

In the first round there are 16 players, so being matches between 2 players, there are 8 matches (16/2). In the second round, applying the same reasoning and taking into account that there are only 8 players left, since the others have been eliminated, there are 4 matches (8/2). The same in the semifinals, where there are 2 games (4/2), and finally, the final to a single game.

Therefore, since 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 equals 15, the number of matches played in the tournament is 15.

If F(x)=[tex]\frac{C-x}{D-x}[/tex], F(-2) is undefined, and F(-1)=4, What is the value of C?

Answers

Answer:

C = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Functions

F(x) is defined as:

[tex]\displaystyleF(x)=\frac{C-x}{D-x}[/tex]

We know F(-2) is undefined. It comes from the fact that the denominator is 0 for this value of x, thus:

D - (-2) = 0

Solving:

D = -2

Substituting:

[tex]\displaystyleF(x)=\frac{C-x}{-2-x}[/tex]

We also know F(-1) = 4:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{C-(-1)}{-2-(-1)}=4[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{C+1}{-2+1}=4[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{C+1}{-1}=4[/tex]

Multiplying by -1

C + 1 = -4

Solving for C:

C = -5

A company that sells toys models their profit with the function
P(x) = −4x3 + 32x2 − 64. Their profit P, in thousands of dollars,
is a function of the number of toys sold x measured in hundreds.

Answer:

  a) profit has a typical curve: negative at low volume, and again at very high volume.

  b) $239,407

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The graph is negative below x=1.58, so the break-even point is 158 toys sold. The profit declines steeply above 533 toys sold, to again go negative for 774 toys sold. This sort of curve seems fairly typical.

__

b) The profit is a maximum of $239,407 when 533 toys are sold.
