Answer:

20 lbs of 9%

10 lbs of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 9%

y: 15%

x + y = 30

y = 30 - x

0.09x + 0.15y = 0.11(30)

0.09x + 0.15(30 - x) = 3.3

-0.06x = -1.2

x = 20

y = 10

y = 30 - x

What is the inverse function of g(x)=1/x-2

kkurt [141]

Assuming it's $g(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-2}$

$y=\dfrac{1}{x-2}\\ x-2=\dfrac{1}{y}\\ x=\dfrac{1}{y}+2\\ g^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}+2$

Answer:

A system of the equation of a circle and a linear equation

A system of the equation of a parabola and a linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us verify our answer

A system of the equation of a circle and a linear equation

Let an equation of a circle as $x^2+ y^2 = 1$ ..........(1)

Let a liner equation Y = x ............(2)

substitute (2) in (1)

$x^2 + x^2 = 1\\2x^2 = 1\\$

$x^2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } \\x = +\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ so Y = $+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

so the two solution are ( $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }) (-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ )

A system of the equation of a parabola and a linear equation

Let equation of Parabola be $y^2 = x$

and linear equation y = x

substitute

$x^2 = x\\x^2 - x= 0\\x(x-1) = \\x = 0 , 1$

Y = 0,1

so the two solutions will be (0,0) and (1,1)
