If g(x) = x^2-5, find the value(s) of x so that:
a. g(x)= 20
b. g(x) = 6

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a)  x = ±5

  b)  x = ±√11 ≈ ±3.317

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want x for some function value, it is convenient to determine the inverse function.

  x = g(y)

  x = y^2 -5

  x +5 = y^2

  y = ±√(x +5)

__

a) x = ±√(20 +5) = ±5

b) x = ±√(6 +5) = ±√11 ≈ ±3.317

4. Jim and Kirk are playing a card game where they trade chips. At the beginning of the game, Jim has four times as many chips as Kirk does. After Kirk wins the game, Jim gives Kirk 18 of his chips, at which point they now have the same number of chips. How many did Kirk have to begin with?

(a) If j represents the original number of chips Jim had and k represents the original number of chips that Kirk had, then write an equation that models the amount of chips they originally had. Explain your equation.

(b) The equation j k − = + 18 18models the scenario after Kirk wins the game. Explain why.

(c) Determine how many chips both Kirk and Jim started with.

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]j = 4k[/tex]

(b) [tex]4k - 18 = 18 + k[/tex]

(c) Jim initially had 48; Kirk initially had 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]j = Jim[/tex]

[tex]k=Krik[/tex]

Solving (a): An equation for the amount they originally had.

From the question, we understand that j is 4 times as many as k.

Mathematically, this is:

[tex]j = 4 * k[/tex]

[tex]j = 4k[/tex]

Solving (b): Equation after Kirk wins

Initially Kirk had k.

To get the new expression, we add 18 to k.

This gives: 18 + k

In the same vein, Jim's number of chirps will reduce by 18.

Initially, Jim had j chirps (or 4k chirps)

To get the new expression, we subtract 18 from j.

This gives: j - 18

So, the equation is:

[tex]j - 18 = 18 +k[/tex]

Solving (c): Number of chirps they started with.

In (b), we have:

[tex]j - 18 = 18 +k[/tex]

Substitute 4k for j

[tex]4k - 18 = 18 + k[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4k - k = 18 + 18[/tex]

[tex]3k = 36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]k =12[/tex]

Substitute 12 for k in [tex]j = 4k[/tex]

[tex]j = 4 * 12[/tex]

[tex]j = 48[/tex]

Mr Lee drove from City P to City Q, which are 600 km apart. During his return journey,
his average speed was increased by 7 km/h and the time taken was 15 minutes less.

formulate an equation in x and show that it reduces to x2 + 7x – 16 800 = 0.
(ii
) Solve the equation x² + 7x - 16 800 = 0, giving both your answers correct to
2 decimal places.
(iii) Find the time taken for the return journey.

Answers

Answer:

i. x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 ii. x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h iii. 5.01 h

Step-by-step explanation:

i. If he drove at an average speed of x km/h on his journey from City P to City Q formulate an equation in x and show that it reduces to x2 + 7x – 16 800 = 0.

For the first journey from City P to City Q, with Mr Lee moving at an average speed of x km/h, he reaches there in time, t and covers the distance, d = 600 km

So, xt = 600 (1)

On his return journey from City Q to CIty P, his average speed increases by 7 km/h, so it is (x + 7)km/h and his time is 15 minutes less than his first journey. 15 min = 15/60 h = 0.25 h, we have that his time for the journey is (t - 0.25) h. Since the distance covered is the same d = 600 km,

We have (x + 7)(t - 0.25) = 600  (2)

Expanding the brackets, we have

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 0.25(7) = 600

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 1.75 = 600

From (1) t = 600/x and xt = 600

Substituting these into the equation, we have

600 - 0.25x + 7(600/x) - 1.75 = 600

simplifying

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 600 - 600

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 0

multiplying through by x, we have

-0.25x² + 4200 - 1.75x = 0

dividing through by -0.25, we have

-0.25x²/-0.25 + 4200/-0.25 - 1.75x/-0.25 = 0

x² - 16800 + 7x = 0

re-arranging, we have

x² + 7x - 16800 = 0

ii. Solve the equation x² + 7x - 16 800 = 0, giving both your answers correct to  2 decimal places.

Using the quadratic formula, we solve x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 for x

So, [tex]x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{7^{2} - 4 X 1 X -16800} }{2 X 1}\\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{49 + 67200} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{67249} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/- 259.32}{2} \\x = \frac{-7 + 259.32}{2} or x = \frac{-7 - 259.32}{2} \\x = 252.32/2 or x= -266.32/2\\x = 126.16 km/hor x = -133.16 km/h[/tex]

So, x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h

iii. Find the time taken for the return journey

The time taken for the return journey is t' = t + 0.25. Now. t = 600/x

Since x cannot be negative, we use x = 126.16 km/h.

So, t = 600/x = 600/126.16 = 4.76 h

t' = t + 0.25

t' = 4.76 + 0.25

t' = 5.01 h

Houses cost £100 000 one year ago
They now cost £

This is a 25% increase

How much does it now cost ?

Answers

Answer:

£125000

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost of house = £100 000

Percent increase = 25%

Increase in price = 25% of 100,000

Increase in price = 0.25 * 100,000

Increase in price = 25000

New cost = original cost + Increment

New cost = 100,000 + 25,000

New cost = 125,000

Hence it now cost  £125000

A billiard ball is struck by a cue. It travels 100 cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 100 cm into a corner pocket. The angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 45 degrees. How far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball?

Answers

Answer:

76.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the triangle formed has 2 sides and an included angle ;

Angle, θ = C = 45°

We use cosine rule :

Taking the side to find as c

a = 100 ; b = 100

From cosine rule :

c = sqrt(a² + b² - 2abCosC)

c = sqrt(100² + 100² - 2(100*100)Cos45

c = sqrt(10000 + 10000 - 20000 * 0.7071067)

c = sqrt(20000 - 14142.135)

c = sqrt(5857.865)

c = 76.536690

c = 76.53 cm

Suppose the ratio of Lev's age to Mina's age is $1 : 2$ and the ratio of Mina's age to Naomi's age is $3 : 4$. What is the ratio of Lev's age to Naomi's age? Give your answer in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Mina's age to Naomi's age is 3 : 4

Multiplying the above ratio by 2 = 6:8

The ratio of Lev's age to Mina's age is 1 : 2

Multiplying the above ratio by 3

= 3:6

Therefore, ratio of Lev's age to Naomi's age in simplest form.

= 3:8

Answer:

3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L, M, and N stand for the three ages.

The given ratios tell us that

M = 2L

and

N = 4/3M.

Therefore,

N = 4/3 x 2L = 8/3L.

This means that Lev's and Naomi's ages are in the ratio 3:8.
