Answer:

See steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(2x+7)=-29-4x

Use the distributive property

-6x-21=-29-4x

Add 21 to each side

-6x=-8-4x

Add 4x to both sides

-2x=-8

Divide by -2

x=4

Which equation is the inverse of y = 16x2 + 1? y = plus-or-minus StartRoot StartFraction x Over 16 EndFraction minus 1 EndRoot y

kifflom [539]

Answer:

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 16 y^2 +1

Then solve for y

Subtract 1

x-1 = 16 y^2

Divide by 16

(x-1)/16 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y

±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

An arena receives $1,700 per event for 12 concerts. If the costs for this sponsorship total $14,000, what is the profit margin f

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The profit margin for the concert sponsorship is 31.3725 %

Step-by-step explanation:

An arena receives for 1 event = $1700

An arena receives for 12 events = $12 \times 1700$

An arena receives for 12 events = 20400

The costs for this sponsorship total $14,000

Profit = 20400-14000

Profit =6400

Profit margin = $\frac{6400}{20400} \times 100$

Profit margin = $31.3725\%$

Hence the profit margin for the concert sponsorship is 31.3725 %
