The size of a packet of pasta is increased by one-quarter.
The new size is later reduced by one-quarter.
is the new packet smaller, the same size or larger than the original?
Explain how you worked out your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying a number by 1.25 increases it by a quarter

Multiplying a number by 0.75 decreases it by a quarter

1.25 / 0.75 = 0.9375

Thus, increasing something by a quarter then decreasing it by a quarter, you are effectively multiplying that number by 0.9375, which is less than 1, so the number will decrease.

Answers

Answer:

f(x)= 1.38x

y= 1.38x

Step-by-step explanation:

basically the cost= 1.38 per pound

you can use cost=1.38x if ur grade level isn't at f(x) yet

<3

Answer:

f(x) = 1.38x

x just stands for a number so depending on how many pounds you get you would times the pounds by 1.38. And f(x) (pronounced "f of x") means that each input has a single output. So if you bought 2 pounds of strawberries, the equation would change to this:

f(2) = 1.38(2)

The x's were just replaced with 2's, see? I wish someone had explained this to me earlier lol

Answer:

The line with a slope of 1/2 is steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get which slope is steeper

mathematically, when we want to know the line that has a steeper slope, we compare the value of the slopes

The line with a slope that is of greater value will be steeper

Mathematically, 1/2 is a greater number than 1/3

That simply means 1/3 is less steep and thus, the line with the slope of 1/2 is the steeper line

Answers

Answer:

-85

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation [tex]E^8_{n=1}[/tex][tex](-2)^{n-1}[/tex] and are asked to evaluate it.

This can be solved using the geometric sequence, but first we have to determine our "r", "n", and [tex]a_{1}[/tex].

Of course [tex]a_{1}[/tex] is equal to 1. Therefore,

[tex]a_{1[/tex] = 1

[tex]r=[/tex]

[tex]n=[/tex]

(-2) is the change per number in the sequence, therefore -2 is our "r".

[tex]a_{1[/tex] = 1

[tex]r=-2[/tex]

[tex]n=[/tex]

The number "8" on [tex]E^8_{n-1}[/tex] represents the "n". Therefore 8 is our "n".

[tex]a_{1}=1[/tex]

[tex]r=-2[/tex]

[tex]n=8[/tex]

Use the geometric sequence sum formula and substitute :

[tex]a_{1} \frac{1-r^n}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]1* \frac{1-(-2)^8}{1-(-2)}[/tex]

[tex]1* \frac{1-(-2)^8}{1+2}[/tex]

[tex]1* \frac{1-256}{1+2}[/tex]

[tex]1* \frac{-255}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1 * -85[/tex]

[tex]-85[/tex]

Let f(-x) = 5x – 2 and g(x) = 2x + 3 and find f(x) –
f(0) — 9(x) = 7x – 1
f(.2) – 9(x) = 7x + 1
f(x) — 9(2) = 3x – 5
f(x) – 9(x) = -3x +5

Answers

Answer:

3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x) = 5x - 2 and g(x) = 2x+3

f(x) - g(x) = 5x-2 - (2x+3)

Expand

f(x) - g(x)  = 5x - 2 - 2x - 3

Collect like terms

f(x) - g(x) = 5x - 2x -2-3

f(x) - g(x)  = 3x - 5

Hence the required answer is 3x - 5

Answer:

Part A

Part B

Please find attached the graph of the inequality created with Microsoft Excel

Part C

1) 4 pounds of apples + 8 pounds of bananas

2) 8 pounds of apples + 6 pounds of bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The amount Tony has to buy apples and bananas = $14

The cost of apples per pound = $2

The cost of bananas per pound = $1

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the number of apples and bananas Tony buys respectively, we have;

2·a + b ≤ 14

Part B

In order to plot the inequality, we make one of the variables the subject of the inequality as follows;

b ≤ 14 - 2·a

The above inequality can be plotted with Microsoft Excel and the feasible region shaded as shown in the attached diagram

Part C

Two possible combinations of pounds of apples and bananas that Tony can buy are;

1) 4 pounds of apples and 8 pounds of bananas which gives 2 apples and 8 bananas

2) 8 pounds of apples and 6 pounds of bananas which gives 4 apples and 6 bananas

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)^2=b(x+a)
2
=b as a result of completing the square for the following equation?
6x^2+48x+207=15

Answers

Answer:

The intermediate step are;

1) Separate the constants from the terms in x² and x

2) Divide the equation by the coefficient of x²

3) Add the constants that makes the expression in x² and x a perfect square and factorize the expression

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given in the question is 6·x² + 48·x + 207 = 15

The intermediate steps in the to express the given function in the form (x + a)² = b are found as follows;

6·x² + 48·x + 207 = 15

We get

1) Subtract 207 from both sides gives 6·x² + 48·x = 15 - 207 = -192

6·x² + 48·x = -192

2) Dividing by 6 x² + 8·x = -32

3) Add the constant that completes the square to both sides

x² + 8·x + 16 = -32 +16 = -16

x² + 8·x + 16 = -16

4) Factorize (x + 4)² = -16

5) Compare (x + 4)² = -16 which is in the form (x + a)² = b
