Hi there! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Let’s set it up like this: 13,600/x = 19.3/100. We do this, because we’re looking for the total amount of people, which would be the whole. We already have the part. Cross multiply the values in order to get 1,360,000 = 19.3x. Now, divide each side by 19.3 to isolate the variable. When you do, you get x is approx. 70,466.3212 or 70,466 when rounded to the nearest whole number. Plus, you can’t have a fraction of a person, anyway. The company has a total of 70,466 employees.
Answer:
x = 7 and x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to factor this quadratic.
To do this, start by finding all the factors of C.
7 x 1, -7 x -1
Now, we need to pick out the factors that add up to the b number, which is 8. That would be 7 and 1.
Now, we can use the numbers 7 and 1 to create two binomials.
( x + 7 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0
The last thing we need to do is to set those binomials to 0 and solve each of them individually.
x + 7 = 0
x = - 7
Solving the first binomial gives us our first solution, -7.
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
Solving the second one gives us our second solution, -1.
The solutions are -7 and -1.
Answer:
x = -15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.
2x - 5 = -20
2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5
2x = -15 ( Add positive 5 to both sides )
2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)
x = -15/2 ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)
Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.
Cheers.
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
Answer:
f^-1(x) = -1/8x +1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of a function
Exchange x and y and then solve for y
y =-8x+2
Exchange x and y
x = -8y+2
Now solve for y
Subtract 2 from each side
x-2 = -8y+2-2
x-2 = -8y
Divide by -8
(x-2)/-8 = -8y/-8
Distribute
-1/8x +1/4 = y
f^-1(x) = -1/8x +1/4
