Christina is packing different books into boxes. The paperback books weigh 0.8 pounds each. The hardcover books weigh 1.3 pounds

each. Christina needs to pack the boxes so that there are at least 20 books in each box, but the boxes cannot weigh more than 30 pounds.

Answer:

P + H ≥ 20

P*0.8 lb + H*1.3 lb ≤ 30lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define H as the number of hardcover books.

Let's define P as the number of paperback books.

Now we have the restrictions:

"... so that there are at least 20 books in each box..."

Then:

P + H ≥ 20 (the total number of books per box is 20 or larger)

"...but the boxes cannot weigh more than 30 pounds."

P*0.8 lb + H*1.3 lb ≤ 30lb (the maximum weight that we can have in the box is 30 pounds)

Then the set of constraints is:

P + H ≥ 20

P*0.8 lb + H*1.3 lb ≤ 30lb

Notice that this system has a lot of possible solutions.

P = 20 and H = 0 is a solution

P = 21 and H = 0 is a solution.

P = 19 and H = 1 is a solution.

etc...

F(x)=3x 2 +9f, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, 3, x, squared, plus, 9 and g(x)=\dfrac{1}{3}x^2-9g(x)= 3 1 x 2

Answer:

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18$

<em>f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

$g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

Required

Determine f(g(x))

Determine g(f(x))

Determine if both functions are inverse:

Calculating f(g(x))

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)^2 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

Expand Brackets

$f(g(x)) = (x^2 - 27)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

$f(g(x)) = x^2(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) - 27(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 9x^2 - 9x^2 + 243 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252$

Calculating g(f(x))

$g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)^2 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

$g(f(x)) = (x^2 + 3)(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

Expand Brackets

$g(f(x)) = x^2(3x^2 + 9) + 3(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 9x^2 + 9x^2 + 27 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18$

Checking for inverse functions

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

Represent f(x) with y

$y = 3x^2 + 9$

Swap positions of x and y

$x = 3y^2 + 9$

Subtract 9 from both sides

$x - 9 = 3y^2 + 9 - 9$

$x - 9 = 3y^2$

$3y^2 = x - 9$

Divide through by 3

$\frac{3y^2}{3} = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{9}{3}$

$y^2 = \frac{x}{3} - 3$

Take square root of both sides

$\sqrt{y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

Represent y with g(x)

$g(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

Note that the resulting value of g(x) is not the same as $g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

<em>Hence, f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

The graph of f(x) = StartRoot x EndRoot is reflected over the y-axis. Use the graphing calculator to graph this reflection. Whic

labwork [276]

Answer:

<em>(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) </em> are the correct three points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

$f(x) =\sqrt x$

Please refer to the attached image.

The green line shows the graph of actual function.

It is reflected over y axis.

The reflected graph is shown in black color in attached image.

When reflected over y axis, the sign of variable $x$ changes from Positive to Negative.

So, the resultant function becomes:

$f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$

i.e. we will have to give the values of x as negative now.

so, the options in which value of x is negative are the possible answers only.

The possible answers are:

(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) and

(–49, 7), (–18, 9), (–1, 1)

Now, we will check the square root function condition.

In the 2nd option, (–18, 9) does not satisfy the condition.

So, the correct answer is:

<em>(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1)</em>

Let d(t) be the total number of miles Joanna has cycled, and let t represent the number of hours after stopping for a break duri

Naddik [55]

Answer:

d(4)=?

where

d= distance

t= hours

In this Linear function given by the law d(t) = 12t +20 and the graph below. To find the d(4), means to find out how many miles she cycled in the instant 4 hours.

By this function, after a break , the instant t=0, she had already cycled 20 miles.

Let's calculate

d(4) = 12(4) +20

d(4) =48+20

d(4)= 68 miles

Olivia had math and reading homework tonight. Olivia can solve each math problem in 1 minute and she can read each page in 1.5 m

ziro4ka [17]

Answer: the system of equations are

x + y = 22

x + 1.5y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of math problems that Olivia solved.

Let y represent the number of pages that Olivia read.

Olivia completed a total of 22 math problems and pages of reading. This means that

x + y = 22- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Olivia can solve each math problem in 1 minute and she can read each page in 1.5 minutes. Olivia completed a total of 22 math problems and pages of reading in 30 minutes. This means that

x + 1.5y = 30 - -- - - - - - - - - -2
