Where:

Next, we would write quadratic functions that represent both f(x) and g(x) in standard form and with a leading coefficient of 1 as follows;

f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 1)

f(x) = x² + 3x + x + 3

f(x) = x² + 4x + 3

For the function g(x), we have the following:

g(x) = -(x - 3)(x - 1)

g(x) = -(x² - 3x - x + 3)

g(x) = -x² + 4x - 3

Therefore, a function that represent h(x) can be calculated as follows;

h(x) = f(x) + g(x)

h(x) = x² + 4x + 3 -x² + 4x - 3

h(x) = (x² - x²) + (4x + 4x) + (- 3 + 3)

Answer:

£155.55

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of British pounds Brian will receive for R2100, begin by calculating the total commission he must pay an agent by multiplying the amount being exchanged (R2100) by the commission rate of 1.5%:

⇒ Commission = R2100 × 0.015 = R31.50

Subtract the commission from the total amount being exchanged to get the net amount:

⇒ Net amount = R2100 - R31.50 = R2068.50

Given R1 is worth 0.075199 British pounds, convert the net amount from South African rand to British pounds by multiplying by the exchange rate:

⇒ British pounds = 2068.50 × 0.075199

⇒ British pounds = £155.55 (2 d.p.)

Therefore, Brian will receive £155.55 for R2100 after paying a commission of R31.50.

Brian will get 155.5501 pounds for 2100 South African rand after paying an agent commission of 1.5%.

To calculate how many pounds Brian will get for 2100 South African rand, we can use the following steps:

Calculate the total amount of pounds that Brian would receive if there were no commission.

To do this, we can multiply the amount of South African rand (2100) by the exchange rate (0.075199):

2100 × 0.075199 = 157.9189 pounds

So without commission, Brian would receive 157.9189 pounds.

Calculate the commission that the agent will charge.

The commission is 1.5% of the total amount, so we can calculate it as:

0.015 × 157.9189 = 2.3688 pounds

So the agent will charge Brian a commission of 2.3688 pounds.

Calculate the final amount of pounds that Brian will receive.

To calculate the final amount of pounds, we can subtract the commission from the total amount of pounds:

157.9189 - 2.3688 = 155.5501 pounds

So Brian will receive 155.5501 pounds after paying the agent commission.

Therefore, Brian will get 155.5501 pounds for 2100 South African rand after paying an agent commission of 1.5%.

A) To the nearest 0.1°, [tex]$\angle ABC\approx63.8\textdegree$[/tex] and B) AC is approximately 4.2 units long, correct to 1 decimal place.

A) We can use the law of cosines to solve for the angles of triangle ABC and then use the fact that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary to find angle ADC. Finally, we can use the law of cosines again to find AC.

Let angle ABC be x. Then, applying the law of cosines to triangle ABC, we have:

[tex]$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-(2AB* BC*\cos(x))$[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get:

[tex]$AC^2=5^2+4.5^2-2\cdot5\cdot4.5\cdot\cos(x)$[/tex]

Simplifying and solving for AC, we get:

[tex]$AC=\sqrt{3.125+11.25\cos(x)-10\cos^2(x)}$[/tex]

Next, applying the law of cosines to triangle BCD, we have:

[tex]$\cos(ADC)=\frac{3.4^2+4.5^2-(2*3.4*4.5*\cos(x))}{3.4*4.5}$[/tex]

Simplifying, we get:

[tex]$\cos(ADC)=\frac{29.15-15.3\cos(x)}{15.3}$[/tex]

Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have:

[tex]$\angle ADC=180\textdegree-\angle ABC=180\textdegree-x$[/tex]

Substituting this into the above equation and solving for [tex]$\cos(x)$[/tex], we get:

The general expressions for sin(2θ) and cos(2θ) are Sin(2θ) = 2sinθcosθ, and cos(2θ) = cos2θ − sin2θ.

The formula for deriving sin(2θ) and cos(2θ) is as follows:

To derive the sin(2θ) formula, use the following formula: sin (2θ) = 2sinθcosθ

And to derive the cos(2θ) formula, use the following formula: cos(2θ) = cos2θ − sin2θ

From the compound angle formulas, we know that:

Sin (α + β) = sinαcosβ + cosαsinβ, and Cos (α + β) = cosαcosβ − sinαsinβ

We may derive sin(2θ) from the above formulas by putting α = β = θ, which gives us:

Sin (2θ) = sinθcosθ + sinθcosθSin (2θ) = 2sinθcosθcos(2θ) can be derived from the above formula by following these steps:

The range of values of x that satisfy sec(x) = -√(2) and π/2 is:

x = 3π/4, 5π/4, 0.453, 5.829.

The range of values of x is calculated as follows;

Since sec(x) = 1/cos(x), we can use the identity cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1 to solve for cos(x).

First, we consider the case where sec(x) = -√(2).

We know that sec(x) = 1/cos(x), so we can write:

1/cos(x) = -√(2)

Multiplying both sides by cos(x) gives:

1 = -√(2)cos(x)

Dividing both sides by -√(2) gives:

-1/√(2) = cos(x)

So, x is an angle whose cosine is -1/√(2). This occurs in the second quadrant, where cosine is negative. We can find the reference angle for this value of cosine by taking the arccosine of its absolute value:

arccos(|-1/√(2)|) = π/4

Therefore, x is either:

x = π - π/4 = 3π/4

or

x = π + π/4 = 5π/4

Next, we consider the case where sec(x) = π/2. We know that sec(x) = 1/cos(x), so we can write:

1/cos(x) = π/2

Multiplying both sides by cos(x) gives:

1 = π/2 cos(x)

Dividing both sides by π/2 gives:

2/π = cos(x)

So, x is an angle whose cosine is 2/π. This occurs in the first quadrant, where cosine is positive. We can find the reference angle for this value of cosine by taking the arccosine:

arccos(2/π)

Using a calculator, we find that:

arccos(2/π) ≈ 0.453

Therefore, x is either:

x = 0.453

or

x = 2π - 0.453 ≈ 5.829

So the range of values of x that satisfy sec(x) = -√(2) and π/2 is:

The normal distribution is a probability curve that describes a data set that follows a symmetrical pattern. In this case, the normal distribution applies because the reading level of the students in the elementary school is normally distributed.

The mean for the reading level is 85 words per minute and the standard deviation is 22 words per minute.

The child's reading level of 44.2 words per minute falls at the 16th percentile. This means that 16% of the students have a lower reading level than the child, and 84% have a higher reading level.  

The normal distribution graph (attached below) illustrates this concept, with the mean of 85 words per minute and the student's reading level marked at the 16th percentile.

The percentile of the student's reading level emphasizes the gravity of the situation. The graph demonstrates that the student is below average in reading level and is in need of remediation.

A suggested course of action is to provide the student with extra help in reading, such as one-on-one tutoring or extra reading material. Additionally, the student should be encouraged to practice and hone their reading skills in order to reach their reading potential.

A sequence in mathematics is a group of numbers that are organized in a particular order and that adhere to a particular pattern or formula. Sequences can be endless or finite and have a variety of uses in many disciplines, including probability theory, analysis, and number theory. Sequences can be defined recursively, where each term is defined in terms of the terms that came before it, or they can be defined using a formula that produces each term of the sequence. For instance, using the equation a = 2n, where n is a positive integer and a1 = 2 is the first term, one can determine the sequence of even numbers. If n is greater than 1, it can also be defined recursively as a1 = 2, and a = an-1 Plus 2.

Add the three totals.

The total surface area is 209.8 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the areas of rectangles B and C using the formula:

A = l × w,

where l is the shape's length, and w is its width.

So, the area of one rectangle B is:

3.8 × 4 = 15.2,

and the area of two of those is:

15.2 × 2 = 30.4

And, the area of one rectangle C is:

11.5 × 3.8 = 43.7.

So, the area of two of those is:

43.7 × 2 = 87.4.

The surface area of the figure is the sum of 2 A's, 2 B's and 2 C's:

92 m + 30.4 m + 87.4 m = 209.8 m

The area of the figure is 18 mm².

The area is the amοunt οf space within the perimeter οf a 2D shape. It is measured in square units, such as cm², m², etc.

Yοu can think οf area as the area inside a given shape οr space. It refers tο hοw much space is taken up. The larger the shape, the larger the area and perimeter οf the shape will be. Nοt tο be cοnfused with vοlume, area οnly refers tο space taken up by a flat οr 2D οbject.

We have given the figure, with all right angles,

Draw an imaginary rectangle of 5 × 6, that covers up the whole figure.

Now,

The area of full rectangle - area of small rectangle = area of the figure

Molly is correct in stating that the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram and a rectangle is the same.

A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and parallel to each other. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are also equal in measure. The area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying the base of the parallelogram by its height, where the height is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides. Some common examples of parallelograms include rectangles, squares, and rhombuses. Parallelograms are used in various areas of mathematics, physics, and engineering, and are commonly encountered in geometry problems and applications.

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles. The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length, and the adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other

Both a parallelogram and a rectangle are types of quadrilaterals (four-sided polygons). The formula for finding the area of any quadrilateral is to multiply the base of the shape by its height. In the case of a parallelogram, the base and height are not necessarily the same as the sides of the shape are not perpendicular to each other. However, in the case of a rectangle, the base and height are the same as the sides are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is:

Area = base x height

And the formula for finding the area of a rectangle is also:

Area = base x height

Since the formulas are the same, Molly is correct in stating that the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram and a rectangle is the same.

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

if x<0 then the value of x must be a negative number

If we substitute the value of -1 for x in the equality equation, we get.

[tex]1 < 1[/tex]

Which does not satisfy the inequality.

Hope this helps!

Brainliest is much appreciated!

Answer:

-1 because -1 + 2 < 1
1 < 1 which is false therefor not satisfying the inequality.

Clara's school is 7 miles west of her house and 3 miles south of her friend Scott's house. Therefore, 5 miles far does Clara bicycle each day.

Given that:

Clara's school is 7 miles west of her house and

3 miles south of her friend Scott's house.

Total distance of Clara's house from her school is 7 miles

Therefore, distance walked by Clara's from home

     = (7 - 3) miles

     = 5 miles.

Therefore, After school, she bicycles from her school to Scott's house. Before dinner, she bicycles home on a bike path that goes straight from Scott's house to her own house. 5 miles far does Clara bicycle each day.

Answer:

-3x + 3z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of the plane that contains the curve with the vector equation R(t) = (t, t^3, t), we can use the fact that a plane can be defined by a point and a normal vector to the plane. We can choose any point on the curve as a point on the plane, say (0, 0, 0), and find a normal vector to the plane by taking the cross product of the tangent vectors to the curve at two different points.

To find the tangent vector to the curve at a point (t, t^3, t), we can take the derivative of the vector equation with respect to t:

R'(t) = (1, 3t^2, 1)

So, the tangent vector to the curve at (t, t^3, t) is (1, 3t^2, 1).

Now, we can find the normal vector to the plane by taking the cross product of the tangent vectors at two different points on the curve. Let's choose the points (0, 0, 0) and (1, 1, 1) on the curve:

Tangent vector at (0, 0, 0): R'(0) = (1, 0, 1)

Tangent vector at (1, 1, 1): R'(1) = (1, 3, 1)

The normal vector to the plane is the cross product of these two tangent vectors:

N = R'(0) x R'(1) = (-3, 0, 3)

Now, we can use the point-normal form of the equation of a plane to find the equation of the plane that contains the curve:

N · (r - P) = 0, where N is the normal vector to the plane, P is a point on the plane, and r is a point on the plane.

Substituting in the values we have, we get:

(-3, 0, 3) · (r - (0, 0, 0)) = 0

Simplifying this equation gives us:

-3x + 3z = 0

Therefore, the equation of the plane that contains the curve with the vector equation R(t) = (t, t^3, t) is -3x + 3z = 0.
