an investigation is currently worth 1.2 X10^7 dollars twenty years ago the investment was worth 9.6X10^5 dollars how many times greater in the value of the investment today than the value of the investment twenty years ago A. 0.125 B. 12.5 C. 125 D. 12,500

Answers

Answer 1

As given,

Current value = [tex]1.2\times10^{7}[/tex] dollars

Twenty years ago value was = [tex]9.6\times10^{5}[/tex] dollars

suppose x times the investment has increased, so,

[tex]9.6\times10^{5}[/tex]*x=[tex]1.2\times10^{7}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{1.2\times10^{7}} {9.6\times10^{5}}[/tex]

this gives x = 12.5 times.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

f(x) = 1 x g(x) = x − 4 Can you evaluate (g ○ f)(0)? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Answer:

To evaluate the composition, you need to find the value of function f first. But, f(0) is 1 over 0, and division by 0 is undefined. Therefore, you cannot find the value of the composition.

Step-by-step explanation:


NO, because the resulting function for (g ○ f)(0) tends to infinity

An undefined term or function is a term or function that does not exsit.

A composite function is a function that is placed in another function.

Given the functions

f(x) = 1/x g(x) = x − 4

Before we can calculate the composite function (g ○ f)(0), we ned to first calculate (g ○ f)(x) as shown:

(g ○ f)(x) = g(f(x))

g(f(x)) = g(1/x)

Substitute x as 1/x in g(x) as shown:

[tex]g(f(x)) =g(\frac{1}{x} )\\g(\frac{1}{x} )=(\frac{1}{x}-4 )\\Find \ the \ LCM\\g(\frac{1}{x} )=(\frac{1-4x}{x} )\\[/tex]

NExt is to check whether we can evaluate (g ○ f)(0) by substituting x = 0 into the resulting function as shown:

[tex]g(f(0) )=(\frac{1-4(0)}{0} )\\g(f(0) )=(\frac{1}{0} )\\g(f(0) )=\infty[/tex]

We can see that the resulting function tends to infinity which shows that g ○ f)(0) cannot be evaluated.

Answer:

Correct option is:

a. 6,000 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A pavement is 20 ft wide and 100 yd long

1 yd= 3 ft

100 yd = 300 ft

we have to find the area of pavement

Area= Length × Width

Answers

given -2(x + 1) = 5x + 4 - x ( distribute left side )

-2x - 2 = 4x + 4 ( simplifying both sides )

subtract 4x from both sides

- 6x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

- 6x = 6 ( variable by itself on left side )

divide both sides by - 6

x = [tex]\frac{6}{-6}[/tex] = - 1

as a check, substitute x = - 1 into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is the solution.

left side = - 2(-1 + 1 ) = - 2 × 0 = 0

right side = (5 × - 1) + 4 - (- 1) - 5 + 4 + 1 = 0

hence x = - 1 is the solution

what is 22 + 5d = -8(7d-4)

Answers

22+5d=-8x7d=56d+ -8x-4=32

22+5d=-56d+32

22+32=54 and -56d+5d=-51d

The answer would be 51d+54

Remark

The steps are the same usually. Remove the brackets and collect like terms on each side of the equal sign.

Solution

22+5d = -8(7d - 4)          Remove the brackets.

22+5d = -56d + 32        Notice the sign change on 32. 2 minus quantities = a plus when multiplied.  Add 56d to both sides.

22 + 5d + 56d = - 56d + 56d + 32

22 + 61d = 32                  Subtract 22 from both sides.

61d = 32 - 22

61d = 10                            Divide by 51

d = 10/61

d = 0.1639  Answer

LHS

22 + 5*0.1639 = 22.8197

RHS

Kim rented a bike from Kayla’s bikes. It cost $20 Plus $8 per hour. If Kim paid $52, then she rented the bike for how many hours?

Answers

x = the number of hours

write an equation of the problem: 8x + 20 = 52

subtract 20 from each side: 8x = 32

divide each side by 8: x = 4

she rented the bike for 4 hours.

$52 minus 20 which is 32 then divide 32 by 8 and you get 4. Therefore Kim rented the bike for 4 hours.

What is the density of a material that has a mass of 2,500 grams and volume of 500 cubic centimeter, in grams per cubic centimeter

Answers

Answer:

Density of the material is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is required to be given in grams per cubic centimeter.

So we should first convert the values to match the units.

Mass is given as 2500 grams so we don't need to change the units.

Volume is given in cubic centimeters. So we don't need to change the units.

Density      = [ Mass of the material / Volume of the Solvent]

                  =2500 grams / 500 cubic centimeters

                  =5 grams per cubic centimeter

Ruben has 6 new books for his collection. This increases his collection by 12%? How many books does he have now?

Answers

Ruben has 6 new books for his collection. This increases his collection by 12%

Let x be the number of books Ruben has before 6 new books added

x + 12% of x = x+6

x + 0.12x = x+6

1.12 x = x+6

Subtract x on both sides

0.12x = 6

Divide by 0.12

x = 50

6 new books are added for his collection

So 50 + 6 = 56

He have 56 books now.

y = x + 7
y = -x - 7
y = -x + 7

Answers

I think that it's B, y = -x - 7 because first you'd subtract y to get it on the other side then add x and then you'd need to make the y positive so you would divide x + 7 by -1 and that would make it y = -x - 7.

Ram is twice as old as Sheeta. Five years ago his age was three times the age of Sheeta. Then the age of Sheeta is

Answers

I'm pretty sure it's 6

Final answer:

Using the information that Ram is twice as old as Sheeta and that five years ago his age was three times the age of Sheeta, we solve the equation 2S - 5 = 3(S - 5) to find that Sheeta's current age is 10 years old.

Explanation:

The question involves creating equations based on the given information to solve for Sheeta's age. Let's denote Sheeta's age as 'S' and Ram's age as '2S' since Ram is twice as old as Sheeta. According to the second statement, five years ago Ram's age was three times Sheeta's age at that time. Therefore, we can write the equation as 2S - 5 = 3(S - 5).

Solving the equation step-by-step:

This simplifies to -S = -10

Hence, Sheeta's current age is 10 years old.

Answers

the answer to this problem is 2/25. I got this by simplifying both exponents which changes the equation to (2)(1000)(4)(1/100000). Then you multiply the other numbers by its simplified exponent and makes the equation 2000(1/25000). The last step is to multiply those two and you get your answer, 2/25(simplified version)   :)

Final answer:

To simplify (2 x 10^3) (4 x 10^-5), you multiply the numbers 2 and 4 to get 8 and add the exponents +3 and -5 to get -2, giving the final result of 8 x 10^-2.

Explanation:

To simplify the expression (2 x 10^3) (4 x 10^-5), you need to multiply the numbers (2 and 4) and the exponents of 10 (+3 and -5) separately. To multiply 2 and 4, you get 8. When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents together. So, 10^3 multiplied by 10^-5 is the same as 10^(3 - 5), or 10^-2. So the answer is 8 x 10^-2.

Answers

The answer is choice C

On the left side we have something in the form a*b+a*c+a*d

On the right side we have something in the form a*(b+c+d)

All together, we have a*b+a*c+a*d = a*(b+c+d), where the letters a,b,c,d are to be replaced with the proper values (0.5, 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 in that exact order).

The idea of distribution is to multiply the outer value 0.5 by each of the values inside the parenthesis (0.5, 0.3, and 0.2) and add up the products.

The distributive law, which states that in elementary algebra, equality is always true, is generalized by the distributive property of binary operations. For instance, in basic mathematics, one has to According to one, addition is distributed more evenly than multiplication. In order to quickly solve expressions, a number is distributed among the numbers in the brackets. When using the distributive property of multiplication, for instance, to resolve the expression 4(2 + 4), we would do so as follows: 4(2 + 4) = (4 × 2) + (4 × 4) = 8 + 16 = 24.

The distributive property states,
