1) Find f(x) if it is known that f(5a)=5a−2.
2) Find g(x) if it is known that g(2t)=8t−1.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One

f(5a) means that wherever you see an x, you put in 5a

x = 5a

f(x) = x/5t *  5t - 2

f(x) = x - 2

===============

Two

g(2t) = 8t - 1

x = 2t

g(x) = 8t/2t*x - 1

g(x) = 4x - 1

Answer 2

1)for the first one you can put a=(1/5)a in the function and it will be:

[tex]f(a) = a - 2[/tex]

so in a function , alphabet is not important and you can rewrite it to this:

[tex]f(x) = x - 2[/tex]

2)the same as the first , we can put t=(1/2)t and conclusion is :

[tex]g(t) = 4t - 1[/tex]

and then change the t to x:

[tex]g(x) = 4x - 1[/tex]

Two forces act on an object. The first Force has a magnitude of 400 Newtons and acts at an angle of 30 degrees as measured from the horizontal. Second Force has a magnitude of 280 Newtons in accident angle of 135 degrees is measured from the horizontal. Determine the vector v that represents the resultant Force.

a. v=(200-140rtsq2)i+(200rtsq3+140rtsq2)j
b. v=(200+140rtsq2)i+(200rtsq3+140rtsq2)j
c. v=(200rtsq3+140rtsq2)i+(200+140rtsq2)j
d. v=(200rtsq3-140rtsq2)i+(200+140rtsq2)j

Answers

ANSWER

Option D is correct

EXPLANATION

We resolve the forces into component forms.

[tex]F_1 = 400 \cos(30) i + 400 \sin(30) j[/tex]

[tex]F_1 = 200 \sqrt{3} i +200j[/tex]

Also the second is resolved to obtain,

[tex]F_2= 280 \cos(135) i + 280 \sin(135) j.[/tex]

[tex]F_2= - 140 \sqrt{2} i + 140 \sqrt{2} j[/tex]

To find the resultant vector, V, We add the corresponding components of the two forces to get:

[tex]V=F_1+F_2 [/tex]

[tex] \implies \: V = (200 \sqrt{3} - 140 \sqrt{2} )i + (200 + 140 \sqrt{2})j[/tex]

The correct answer is D.

which of the following is a point on the plane curved defined by the parametric equations?

x=4t
y=12t^2+4t-1

a. (4,7)
b. (4,207)
c.(-2,4)
d.(-2,0)

Answers

Answer:

d.(-2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parametric equation is:

[tex]x=4t[/tex]

[tex]y=12t^2+4t-1[/tex]

We make t the subject in the first equation;

[tex]t=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

We substitute into the second equation to get:

[tex]y=12(\frac{x}{4})^2+4(\frac{x}{4})-1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x^2+x-1[/tex]

When x=4 , [tex]y=\frac{3}{4}(4)^2+4-1=15[/tex]

When x=-2 , [tex]y=\frac{3}{4}(-2)^2+-2-1=0[/tex]

Therefore the point (-2,0) lies on the given parametric  curve.

y=3cos⁡2π(x+2) / 2+5

Answers

Answer:

Last option

[tex]y = 3cos(\pi(x+2)) + 5[/tex]

Where A is the amplitude: half the vertical distance between the highest peak and the lowest peak of the wave.  

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex] is the period: time it takes the wave to complete a cycle.

k is the vertical displacement.

[tex]\phi[/tex] is the shift phase

In this problem :

use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Second Option

671 m²; 725 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area of a triangular prism is:

[tex]A_L = Ph[/tex]

Where P is the perimeter of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

In this case, the perimeter of the triangular base is:

[tex]P = 9 + 6+ 10.82\\\\P = 25.82\ m[/tex]

Then the height is 26 m

Then the lateral area of the prism is:

[tex]A_L = 25.82 * (26)\\\\A_L = 671\ m ^ 2[/tex]

Therefore the surface area of the triangular prism is:

[tex]A = 2A_B + A_L[/tex]

Where [tex]A_B[/tex] is the area of the base.

[tex]A_B = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

Where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height

In this case:

[tex]b = 9\ m\\\\h = 6\ m\\\\A_B = \frac{9 * 6}{2}\\\\A_B = 27\ m ^ 2[/tex]

Finally

[tex]A = 2 * 27 + 671\\\\A = 54 + 671\\\\A = 725\ m ^ 2[/tex]

Kenneth brings a partially-filled beaker of red liquid into is his laboratory and uses an apparatus to add drops of blue liquid to the beaker at a constant rate. The equation y = 5x + 15 describes the relationship between the number of minutes (x) since Kenneth began adding drops of blue liquid to the beaker and the total amount of liquid in the beaker (y), in milliliters. Which statement correctly describes a solution of the equation?

Answers

there are two ways you can do

[tex]y = 5x + 15 \\ \\ 1. \: y - 15 = 5x \\ 2. \: \frac{y - 15}{5} = x \\ 3. \: x = \frac{y - 15}{5} \\ \\ \\ 1. \: 5x + 15 = y \\ 2. \: 5x + 15 + - 15 = y + - 15 \\ 5x = y - 15 \\ 3. \: \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{y - 15}{5} \\ x = \frac{1}{5} y - 3[/tex]

Final answer:

A solution of the equation y = 5x + 15 represents a specific moment during Kenneth's experiment, where 'x' is the time elapsed since he started adding the blue liquid, and 'y' is the total volume of the liquid mixture in the beaker.

Explanation:

The equation y = 5x + 15 provided is a linear equation, which is a mathematical expression showing a constant rate of change. In this context, Kenneth's experiment in the laboratory, 'x' is the number of minutes since Kenneth began adding drops of blue liquid to the beaker, and 'y' is the total amount of liquid, in milliliters, in the beaker.

A solution to this equation refers to specific values for 'x' and 'y' which make this equation true. For instance, if we choose x = 1 minute, then we can calculate 'y' by substituting 'x' into the equation which gives y = 5*1 + 15 = 20 mL. This means that after 1 minute, Kenneth has 20 mL of liquid in his beaker. Indeed, every solution to this equation reflects a specific moment (x, or number of minutes) in Kenneth's ongoing experiment and the corresponding total volume (y) of the mixture in the beaker.

The sum of two numbers is 57, and their difference is 27. What are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Answer: x = 32, y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write 2 equations that meet the criteria:

 

The sum of two numbers is 57

x + y = 57

 

The difference is 7

x - y = 7

 

Solve the second equation for x, and substitute in the first equation to solve for y

 

- solve the second equation for x.  

Add y to both sides of the equation

x - y + y = 7 + y

x = 7 + y

 

- substitute x = 7 + y into the first equation

x + y = 57

(7 + y) + y = 57

7 + 2y = 57

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

7 - 7 + 2y = 57 - 7

2y = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y

y=25

 

Insert y = 25 into either equation and solve for x

x - y = 7

x - 25 = 7

Add 25 to both sides of the equation

x - 25 + 25 = 7 + 25

x = 32

 

Answer: x = 32, y = 25

 

As a check, plug these values into both equations to make sure that it works

d. f(x) = (x + (7 – i))(x + (5 + i))(x + (7 + i))(x + (5 – i))

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]f(x)=(x-(7-i))(x-(5+i))(x-(7+i))(x-(5-i))[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a polynomial the following properties;

i. Leading coefficient is 1

ii. roots (7 + i) and (5 – i) with multiplicity 1

Recall the complex conjugate properties of the roots of a polynomial.

According to this property, if

[tex]a+bi[/tex] is a root of a polynomial, then the complex conjugate, [tex]a-bi[/tex]  is also a root.

This means that:

(7 - i) and (5 + i) with multiplicity 1 are also roots of this polynomial.

The complete set of roots are:

[tex]x=(7+i),x=(7-i),x=(5-i),x=(5+i)[/tex]

Therefore the polynomial is:

[tex]f(x)=(x-(7-i))(x-(5+i))(x-(7+i))(x-(5-i))[/tex]

The correct choice is C.

Final answer:

The correct polynomial function with roots (7 + i) and (5 – i), each with multiplicity 1 and a leading coefficient of 1, is given by (c) f(x) = (x – (7 + i))(x – (5 – i))(x – (7 - i))(x – (5 + i)).

Explanation:

The question asks which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 1 and roots (7 + i) and (5 – i) with multiplicity 1. For a polynomial to have these roots, its conjugates, (7 - i) and (5 + i), must also be roots because complex roots always come in conjugate pairs if the polynomial has real coefficients.

This leads us to option (c) as the correct answer. To form a polynomial with these roots, we take each root, turn it into a binomial by subtracting it from x, and then multiply these binomials together.

Doing so for the given roots, we get:

f(x) = (x – (7 + i))(x – (5 – i))(x – (7 - i))(x – (5 + i))

This polynomial matches option (c), confirming it as the correct answer.

4. About 30% of the U.S. population is under 20 years old. About 17% of the population is over 60, which of the following is the probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60?

-17%
-53%
-47%
-30%

Answers

A = person is under 20

B = person is over 60

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ... works because A and B are mutually exclusive

P(A or B) = 0.30 + 0.17

P(A or B) = 0.47 = 47%

The probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 is 47% , option C is the correct answer.

What is Probability ?

Probability is a topic in mathematics  where the likeliness of an event is studied.

The range of probability is 0 to 1 .

0 indicates uncertainty to 1 indicating certainty.

It is given in the question that

30% of the U.S. population is under 20 years old

About 17% of the population is over 60

probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 = ?

Let P(A) represents person under 20

Let P(B) represents person over 60

As a person is chosen at random and the events cannot happen together so they are mutually exclusive events.

The probability for mutually exclusive event is given by

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(A) = 17% = 0.17

P(B) = 30% = 0.3

P(A or B) = 0.30 + 0.17

P(A or B) = 0.47 = 47%

Therefore , the probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 is 47% , option C is the correct answer.
