Brenda had bowling scores of 92, 110, 85, 78, and 96. She completed the steps below to determine the score she needs in her next

game to have a mean, or average, bowling score of 96.
Step 1: Find the total points needed to score in six games: 96x6=576
Step 2: Find the total points scored: 92+110+85+78=365
Step 3: Subtract the total points scored from the total points needed: 576-365=211
Step 4: State the answer: Brenda needs to score 211 in her next game.

Where did Brenda make her first mistake?
A: Step 1
B: Step 2
C: Step 3
D: Step 4

Answer:

<u>Hence final answer is B: Step 2.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the total points needed to score in six games: 96x6=576

Justification:

Product of 96 and 6 is 576 which is same number found by Brenda. So step 1 is correct.

Step 2: Find the total points scored: 92+110+85+78=365

Justification:

Sum of total points scored by Brenda is 92+110+85+78= 461.

But she got different value 365.

Hence step 2 is wrong.

<u>Hence final answer is B: Step 2.</u>

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>

An above-ground swimming pool in the shape of a cylinder has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 4.5 feet.If the pool is fille

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The volume of the water in the pool is 1,017 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=18/2=9\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

Remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

so

$6\ in=6/12=0.5\ ft$

To find out the height of the water, subtract 0.5 feet from the height of the swimming pool

$h=4.5-0.5=4\ ft$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

Find the volume of the water

$V=(3.14)(9^{2})(4)$

$V=1,017\ ft^3$

Complete question:

Para ingresar a la Universidad del Chocó se aplica una prueba de razonamiento que consta de 30 preguntas. Por cada respuesta correcta se asignan 5 puntos y por cada incorrecta (o no contestada) se restan 2 puntos. Si un participante obtuvo un puntaje de 94 puntos, ¿cuantas preguntas respondió bien?

Responder:

número de respuestas correctas = 22

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado lo siguiente:

Número total de preguntas = 30

Deje respuestas correctas = y; Respuestas incorrectas = n

Marca otorgada por y = 5

Marca deducida por n = 2

Si el total de preguntas = 30; luego

y + n = 30 - - - - (1)

Puntuación total obtenida = 94; luego

5y - 2n = 94 - - - (2)

De 1),

y + n = 30

y = 30 - n

Sustituya y = 30 - n en equ (2)

5 (30 - n) - 2n = 94

150 - 5n - 2n = 94

150 - 7n = 94

-7n = 94-150

-7n = - 56

n = 56/7

n = 8

Sustituir n = 8 en (1)

y + n = 30

y + 8 = 30

y = 30 - 8

y = 22

y = número de respuestas correctas = 22

n = número de respuestas incorrectas = 8

Two car-rental agencies are competing for business. Mertz charges $35 a day and $0.15 per mile, and Mavis charges $20 a day and

Nata [24]

Well we overall have two different equations we can make here with two different variables. If 35 & 20 were to be our daily charge, and y is our per mile charge, we can infer that x times y is equal to our overall car-rental price, so if we set it out correctly, our equations should be
35 x (y).15 =
