The function f(x) has been transformed to give g(x). Which of the following functions represent g(x)

A. g(x) = (1/2) x^2
B. g(x) = 4x^2
C. g(x) = 1/4 x^2
D. g(x) = 2x^2
f(x) = x2
g(x) = ?

Answers

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the two graphs given in the diagram attached.

The first graph shows the function f(x) = x²

Hence, it passes through the points (1,1), (-1,1), (2,4) and (-2,4) points.

Now, from the plotted second graph we see the points (2,2), and (-2,2) are on the curve.

Hence, the y-value corresponding to the same x-value reduces by a factor [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in the second graph i.e. the graph of y = g(x) compared to the first graph.

So, we can conclude that the transformed graph has the equation [tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{2} x^{2}[/tex].

Hence, option A is correct. (Answer)

Answer:

The answer is g(x) = (1/2) x^2

If A = {x | x = 3n, n € {2,3,4}} and
B = {x x = 4m - 3, m = {1,2,3}},
what element exists in the
intersection of these two sets?

Answers

Answer:  9

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

Explanation:

The intersection of the two sets is the list of all values that are in both sets at the same time.

Let's convert set A into roster notation. Roster notation means we just list out all the members (use ellipses if there are a lot of values you don't want to write out; luckily these sets are small). Plug n = 2 into x = 3n and you'll find that x = 6. Repeat for n = 3, and you get x = 9. Repeat for n = 4 and you get x = 12.

Set A looks like this: {6, 9, 12}

-------

Repeat the same basic steps for set B. We'll plug m = 1 into x = 4m-3 to get x = 1. Plug m = 2 into that same equation to get x = 5. Finally m = 3 leads to x = 9

Set B = {1, 5, 9}

-------

In summary,

A = {6, 9, 12}

B = {1, 5, 9}

We see that only 9 is in both sets at the same time.

Therefore, [tex]A \cap B = \left\{ 9 \right\}[/tex] which says "the intersection of set A and set B is the set { 9 } ".

The Venn Diagram shown below has the single element 9 in the overlapping region of the two circles. The other values are in their proper respective circles, but not inside the overlapping region. Set U is the universal set.

(h + c) -total

(c + h) = 614

64 more cheeseburgers sold then hamburgers:

64 more cheeseburgers sold then hamburgers

(c - h) = 64

(c + h) = 614

9) An aircraft carrier left Hawaii and traveled
toward dry dock at an average speed of 15
mph. A submarine left two hours later and
traveled in the opposite direction with an
average speed of 15 mph. Find the
number of hours the submarine needs to
travel before the vessels are 300 mi. apart.

Answers

Answer:

The Time taken by submarines to travel before the vessel is 11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The average speed of aircraft carrier = 15 mph

The average speed of submarine = 15 mph

The distance between them = 300 mile

The time taken by aircraft = T hour

The time taken by submarine = T + 2  hour

Now, Speed = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Time}[/tex]

So, Distance =  Speed × Time

Now,

300 miles = 15 × T + 15 × ( T + 2)

Or, 300 = 15 T + 15 T + 30

or, 300 - 30 = 30 T

Or, 270 = 30 T

∴ T = [tex]\frac{270}{30}[/tex]

I,e T = 9 hours

So, T + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11 hours

Hence The Time taken by submarines to travel before the vessel is 11 hours Answer

Which of the following represents the area of a rectangle whose length is 3x + 5 and whose width is x − 2?

Answers

The area of the rectangle with dimensions (3x + 5) by (x - 2) is represented by the algebraic expression 3x² - x - 10.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. Given a rectangle with length (3x + 5) and width (x - 2), we can find its area by using the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length × width.

Area = (3x + 5)(x - 2)
By expanding this, we use the distributive property:
Area = 3x(x) + 3x(-2) + 5(x) + 5(-2)
Area = 3x² - 6x + 5x - 10
By combining like terms, we get:
Area = 3x² - x - 10

Which of the following points is a solution to a system of linear equations
y<3x+5

_
a.(3,14)
b.(3,9)
c.(3,-14)
d.(3,-9)

Answers

Final answer:

The point (3,9) is the solution to the system of linear equations because it satisfies both inequalities y < 3x + 5 and y > -2/3x - 3 when the values of x and y are substituted into them.

Explanation:

To determine which of the given points is a solution to the system of linear equations:

y < 3x + 5
y > -2/3x - 3

We substitute the x and y values of each option into the inequalities to find a match.

For point (3,14): Substitute x = 3 and y = 14 into the inequalities.

14 < 3(3) + 5, which simplifies to 14 < 14; this is false.14 > -2/3(3) - 3, which simplifies to 14 > -5; this is true.So, (3,14) does not satisfy both inequalities.For point (3,9): Substitute x = 3 and y = 9 into the inequalities.9 < 3(3) + 5, which simplifies to 9 < 14; this is true.9 > -2/3(3) - 3, which simplifies to 9 > -5; this is true.Therefore, (3,9) satisfies both inequalities and is the solution.Points (3,-14) and (3,-9) can be quickly dismissed as they give negative values for y, which won't satisfy the first inequality since it requires y to be less than a positive value.

Alex wants to buy the same number of stamps and envelops. Stamps are sold in packs of 14 and envelops are sold in the packs of 10.
What is the least number of each he could buy to have the same number of stamps and envelops?

Answers

Answer:

5 numbers of stamp packs and 7 number of envelop packs that Alex has to buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex wants to buy the same number of stamps and envelops.

Stamps are sold in packs of 14 and envelop are sold in the packs of 10.

Now, we have to find the least number of stamp packs and envelop packs that Alex should buy to get an equal number of stamps and envelops.

The least common multiple of 14 and 10 will give the result.

14 has multiples 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, .......

And 10 has multiples 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, ........

Therefore, 70 is the least common multiple.  

In that case 5 numbers of stamp packs and 7 number of envelop packs that Alex has to buy to get 70 stamps and 70 envelop. (Answer)

Final answer:

The least number of stamps and envelopes Alex can buy to have the same number is 70 of each, which he can get by purchasing five packs of each.

Explanation:

Alex wants to buy the same number of stamps and envelopes. To find the least number of each he could buy to have the same number, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two pack sizes, 14 (stamps) and 10 (envelopes).

The multiples of 14 are 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, etc., and the multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, etc. The first common multiple they share is 70.

Therefore, Alex can buy five packs of envelopes (5 x 10 = 50 envelopes) and five packs of stamps (5 x 14 = 70 stamps) to have the same number of each, which is 70.

Answers

Volume of sphere having radius of 3 inches is 113.04 cubic inches.

Solution:

Given that the radius of a sphere is 3 inches. Need to determine the volume of sphere

Formula for volume of sphere is as follows :

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]

Where V is volume of sphere , π is constant value = 3.14 and r = radius of a sphere.

In our case, r = 3 inches

On substituting the value of π as 3.14 and value of r as 3 inches in the formula of volume of sphere, we get

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 3^{3}=4 \times 3.14 \times 9=113.04 \text { cubic inches }[/tex]

Hence volume of sphere having radius of 3 inches is 113.04 cubic inches.

How can I factor 25x + 14

Answers

You can't factor anything out of this. At least I don't think

The expression 25x + 14 cannot be traditionally factored as it does not have any common factors, nor does it follow any special binomial patterns. It is already in its simplest form.

Explanation:

The expression 25x + 14 cannot be factored in the traditional sense because it does not have common factors nor does it fit the pattern of a special binomial such as a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial. The expression is already in its simplest form unless we have additional restrictions or information about variable x. If we were to consider factorization in terms of factoring out a greatest common factor (GCF), since the coefficients 25 and 14 have no common factors other than 1, we cannot factor anything out. Sometimes, in different contexts, we can apply transformations, such as multiplying an equation by a constant to simplify fractions or rearranging terms for clarity, but these strategies do not apply to the expression 25x + 14 as given.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. 15 squared centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Base one = 10 centimeters

Base two = 5 centimeters

Height = 2 centimeters

2. Let's find out the area of the trapezoid, using the following formula:

Area = 1/2 (Base one + Base two) * Height

Replacing with real values:

Area = 1/2 (10 + 5) * 2

Area = 1/2 (15 * 2) = 1/2 (30)

Area = 15 centimeters ²

The correct answer is D. 15 squared centimeters.

if 16 candy bars cost $20,how much do 24 candy bars cost.?​

Answers

If 16 candy bars is $20, then each candy bar is $1.25, which means 24 candy bars would cost $30.
Final answer:

To find the cost of 24 candy bars, calculate the cost per candy bar (found by dividing $20 by 16, equaling $1.25) and multiply it by 24. Therefore, 24 candy bars would cost $30.

Explanation:

The subject of the question involves unit pricing, a common concept in mathematics. To find the cost of 24 candy bars, first identify the cost per candy bar, then multiply this unit price by the number of candy bars in question.

From the question, we know that 16 candy bars cost $20. So the unit price, or cost per candy bar, is $20 divided by 16, which equals $1.25.

Therefore, the cost of 24 candy bars would be $1.25 (the cost per candy bar) multiplied by 24 (the number of candy bars), which equals $30. Hence, 24 candy bars would cost $30.
