#16 Carmen had $130 more than her sister, Rosa. Rosa had twice as much money as their youngest sister Zoe. If their mother gave

Carmen $60 and Rosa $80, Carmen would have twice as much money as Rosa. What was the total amount of money they had in the beginning?
#17 Kenji, James and Ethan shared 240 stickers. Kenji received twice as many stickers as James. James received 3 times as many stickers as Ethan. How many stickers did Kenji receive?

Answer:

Part 16) In the beginning Carmen had $160, Rosa has $30 and Zoe had $15

Part 17) Kenji received 144 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 16)

Let

x -----> the total amount of money Carmen had in the beginning

y -----> the total amount of money Rosa had in the beginning

z -----> the total amount of money Zoe had in the beginning

we know that

x=y+130 -----> equation A

y=2z -----> equation B

x+60=2(y+80) -----> equation C

Substitute equation A in equation C and solve for y

(y+130)+60=2(y+80)

y+190=2y+160

2y-y=190-160

y=$30

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=y+130-----------> x=30+130=$160

Find the value of z

y=2z

z=y/2

z=30/2=$15

therefore

In the beginning

Carmen had $160, Rosa has $30 and Zoe had $15

Part 17)

Let

x -----> the number of stickers received by Kenji

y -----> the number of stickers received by James

z -----> the number of stickers received by Ethan

we know that

x+y+z=240 ----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

y=3z ----> z=y/3 ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

(2y)+y+(y/3)=240

(10/3)y=240

y=240*3/10

y=72

Find the value of x

x=2y ----> x=2(72)=144

therefore

Kenji received 144 stickers

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, -5). Write the equati

amid [387]

In this we know all three zeros and one point from which the graph pass.
So we will let specific cubic polynomial function of the form
$f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)$

As we know zeros are that point where we will get value of function equal to zero. So it is basically in form $(x_n , 0)$

SO in given question zeros are (2 , 0) , (3, 0) and (5,0)
So we can say $x_1 = 2 , x_2 = 3 , x_3 = 5$

So required equation is
$f(x) = a (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$
              $= a[(x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6)(x-5)]$
              $= a[(x^2 - 5x+6)(x-5)]$
              $= a(x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x- 5x^2 + 25x - 30)$
              $= a(x^3 - 10x^2+31x-30)$
Now we have one point (0 , -5) from which graph passes.
So we say at x = 0 , f(x) = -5
$-5= a (0-0+0 - 30)$
$-5 = -30a$
$a = \frac{-5}{-30} = \frac{1}{6}$
So required equation of cubic polynomial is
$f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x^3 -10x^2+31x-30)$

For finding y - intercept we simply plugin x = 0 in given equation.
As we know at x = 0 , value of function is -5.
So y - intercept is -5.

How is the graph of the parent function of y = 3√x transformed to produce the graph y = 3√1/2x? It is horizontally stretched by

inna [77]

The graph of the parent function is horizontally stretched by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some transformation

A horizontal compression (or shrinking) is the squeezing of the graph toward the y-axis.

A horizontal stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the y-axis

If k > 1, the graph of y = f(k•x) is the graph of f(x) horizontally shrunk (or compressed) by dividing each of its x-coordinates by k.
If 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph of y = f(k•x) is the graph of f(x) horizontally stretched by dividing each of its x-coordinates by k
If k should be negative, the horizontal stretch or shrink is followed by a reflection across the y-axis

A vertical stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the

x-axis

A vertical compression (or shrinking) is the squeezing of the graph toward the x-axis.

If k > 1, the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically stretched by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k.
If 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically shrunk (or compressed) by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k
If k should be negative, the vertical stretch or shrink is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.

∵ $y=3\sqrt{x}$ is a parent function

∵ Its graph transformed to produce the graph of $y=3\sqrt{\frac{1}{2} x}$

- That means x is multiplied by a factor k, then it is compressed

or stretched horizontally

∵ k = $\frac{1}{2}$

- The factor $\frac{1}{2}$ is between 0 and 1, then it is

stretched horizontally as the second rule above

∴ The graph of the parent function is stretched horizontally by a

factor of $\frac{1}{2}$

The graph of the parent function is horizontally stretched by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$
