DE = 4x + 10

EF = 2x -1

DF = DE + EF = 4x + 10 + 2x - 1 = 6x + 9

Given,

DF = 9x - 15

6x + 9 = 9x - 15

3x = 24

x = 8

Hence, DF = 9x - 15 = 9*8 - 15 = 72 - 15 = 57

Hello,
<span>We have that:
(4x+10)+(2x-1)=9x-15

</span>We solve the equation:
4x+10+2x-1=9x-15;
6x+9=9x-15;
6x-9x=-15-9;
-3x=-24;
3x=24;

<span>from which
</span>x=24:3=8

<span>Then:
DF=9x-15=(9</span>×8)-15=72-15=57

bye :-)

Identify the key characteristics of the parent fifth-root function f (x) = ^5sqrtx. Include the following: domain, range, interv
Andre45 [30]

Given functin is :

f\left(x\right)=\sqrt[5]{x}

We know that the domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In given function, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined. Hence domain is all real numbers.

Domain: (-∞,∞)

Range is the set of y-values obtained by plugging values from domain so the range will also same.

Range: (-∞,∞)

If we increase value of x then y-value will also increase so that means it is an INCREASING function. You can also verify that from graph.

It crosses x and y-axes both at the origin

Hence x-intercept=0 and y-intercept=0

Graph is not symmetric about y-axis hence it can't be EVEN

Graph is not symmetric about origin so it is ODD.

There is  no breaking point in the graph so that means it is a Continuous function.

There is no hoirzontal or vertical or slant line which seems to be appearing to touch the graph at infinity so there is NO asymptote.

END behaviour means how y-changes when x approaches infinity.

From graph we can see that when x-approaches -∞ then y also approaches ∞.

when x-approaches +∞ then y also approaches +∞.

1.How much taller Porter is than Henry, given that Porter is n inches tall and Henry is m inches tall. 2.How many times as tall
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height can be found using subtraction.

Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.

n = Porter's height

m = Henry's height

Difference in height is thus:

n-m

Answer: Porter is n-m inches taller than Henry.

To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.

An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.

If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...

\frac{200}{100}=2

..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.

Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.

\frac{n}{m}

Answer: Porter is \frac{n}{m} times taller than henry.

g A sailing ship stopped at several islands, releasing one mating pair of goats onto each one. On the large island, the goats' g
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After <em>t </em>years, the number of goats is given by

N = N_0e^{bt}

where N_0 is the initial number of goats and <em>b</em> is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

  • N_0 = 2
  • <em>b</em> = 0.5
  • <em>N</em> = 1000

1000 = 2e^{0.5t}

e^{0.5t} = 500

0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214

t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4

In a certain month, Oscar sells 6 cars more than Jackie. If together they sell 30 cars, how many cars did Jackie sell?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Jackie sold 12 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of cars Oscar sold O, and the number of cars Jackie sold J, we can say the following:

O = J + 6

As Oscar sold 6 cars more than Jackie.

Together, they sold 30 cars.

O + J = 30

Since we know that:

O = J + 6

... we can put this into our previous equation.

O + J = 30

(J + 6) + J = 30

J + J + 6 = 30

2 * J + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

2 * J = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

J = 24 / 2

J = 12

Jackie sold 12 cars.
