Mr. Toshio had 32 rulers. 32-11 = 21 rulers. 21+4 = 25 rulers. and 25-7 = 18 rulers

Answer:

Mr. Toshio started with 32 rulers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rulers he start with

Mr. Toshio lent out 11 rulers at the beginning of class

Number of rulers - 11

$x-11$

He collected 4 rulers in the middle of class. So we add 4

$x-11+4$

He gave out 7 at the end of class. So we subtract 7

$x-11+4-7$

He had 18 at the end of the day.

$x-11+4-7=18$

$x-14=18$

Add 14 on both sides

$x=32$

Mr. Toshio started with 32 rulers

We are given the set of points
<span>{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}
If w is the function name and t is the input variable, then the equation has the form
w = k a^t
Plugging in any two of the points to solve for k and a
Choosing </span>(1, 60) and (2, 240)<span>
60 = k a
k = 60 / a

240 = k a^2

Substituting
240 = 60/a (a^2)
a = 4
and
k = 60 / 4 = 15

The function is

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>

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ

kicyunya [14]

Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.

The steps below show the work of a student used to calculate the number of yards in 804.5 meters.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

804.5 meters. to yards

Step 1:

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)

1,609 meters is being multiplied by conversion factor 1 mile over 804.5 meters equals 2 miles

<u>1,609 meter </u> x <u> 1 mile </u> = 2 miles

804.5 meters

Step 2:

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)

2 miles is being multiplied by conversion factor 1760 yards over 1 mile equals 3,520 yards

2 miles x <u> 1,760 yards </u> = 3,520 yards

1 mile

no need of step 3. the conversion below should be on step 2.

to convert miles into yards.

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)
