2. Consider the equation x2 + 8x = 10.
(a) Show how to solve the equation by completing the square.
(b) Show how to solve the equation by using the quadratic formula. Round solutions to the nearest tenth if needed.

Answers

Answer 1

ANSWER

x=1.1 or x=-9.1

EXPLANATION

[tex] {x}^{2} + 8x = 10[/tex]

Ad the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides:

[tex]{x}^{2} + 8x + {4}^{2} = 10 + {4}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]{x}^{2} + 8x + 16= 10 + 16[/tex]

The left hand side is now a perfect square.

[tex] {(x + 4)}^{2} = 26[/tex]

Take square root

[tex]x + 4= \pm \sqrt{26}[/tex]

[tex]x = - 4 \pm \sqrt{26}[/tex]

x=1.1 or x=-9.1

Using the quadratic formula, we need to rewrite the given equation to get;

[tex] {x}^{2} + 8x - 10 = 0[/tex]

where a=1, b=8 and c=-10

The solution is given by:

[tex]x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

We substitute the values into the formula to get;

[tex]x = \frac{ - 8\pm \: \sqrt{ {8}^{2} - 4(1)( - 10) } }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - 8\pm \: \sqrt{ 104 } }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - 8\pm \: 2\sqrt{ 26 } }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = - 4\pm \: \sqrt{ 26 } [/tex]

x=1.1 or x=-9.1

to the nearest tenth.

A map is drawn using the scale 2 cm:100 mi. On the map, Town B is 3.5 centimeters from Town A, and Town C is 2 centimeters past Town B. How many miles apart are Town A and Town C?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]275\ mi[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The distance on the map from Town A and Town C is equal to

3.5 cm+2 cm=5.5 cm

The scale map is equal to

[tex]\frac{2}{100}\frac{cm}{mi}[/tex]

That means-----> 1 cm on a map is 50 mi on the actual

so

by proportion

[tex]\frac{1}{50}\frac{cm}{mi} =\frac{5.5}{x}\\ \\x=50*5.5\\ \\x=275\ mi[/tex]

Answer:

X= -7    

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE EQUATIONS.

Step-by-step explanation:

ALRIGHT!

1. 6*(-x)= -6x

2. 6*(-3)= -18

3. Now right in normal 24= -6x-18

4. Now keep the variables on one side and the numbers on the other and simplify it. And when keeping the variables on one side and the numbers on the other what ever you switch you must change it's expression. So if it's + you make it -  and if it - you make it +. so 6x=-18-24= 6x=-42

5. Now simplify it. as a fraction. 6x = -42 = divide 6 on both sides now X= -7                                                      6       6

For which equation would x = 3 be a solution?

What is the solution to the equation 7.5 - x = 2.8?

x = 4.7
x = 5.3
x = 5.7
x = 10.3

Answers

x = 3 is a solution for the equation x - 2 = 1. The solution for 7.5 - x = 2.8 is x = 4.7. Both solutions were verified by substituting back into the original equations.

Let's first determine for which equations x = 3 is a solution:

x + 7 = 4

Substitute x = 3: 3 + 7 = 10, which is not equal to 4. Hence, x = 3 is not a solution to this equation.

x - 2 = 1

Substitute x = 3: 3 - 2 = 1, which is correct. Therefore, x = 3 is a solution to this equation.

5 + x = 9

Substitute x = 3: 5 + 3 = 8, which is not equal to 9. Thus, x = 3 is not a solution to this equation.

8 - x = 11

Substitute x = 3: 8 - 3 = 5, which is not equal to 11. Therefore, x = 3 is not a solution to this equation.

The correct option is- b

Now, we solve the equation 7.5 - x = 2.8:

1. Start by isolating x:

7.5 - x = 2.8

2. Subtract 7.5 from both sides of the equation:

-x = 2.8 - 7.5

-x = -4.7

3. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for x:

x = 4.7

The correct option is- a

Hence, the solution to the equation is x = 4.7.

Therefore x = 3 is a solution for the equation x - 2 = 1. The solution for 7.5 - x = 2.8 is x = 4.7.

What is the distance between –14 and –5 on a number line?

Answers

Final answer:

The distance between – 14 and – 5 on a number line is 9 units, calculated by finding the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers.

Explanation:

The distance between two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference between those two numbers. To find the distance between – 14 and – 5, subtract the smaller number (– 14) from the larger number (– 5) and then take the absolute value:

Distance = |(– 5) – (– 14)|

Distance = |9|

Distance = 9

Therefore, the distance on the number line between – 14 and – 5 is 9 units.

Which of the following statements is true about the greatest integer function? A. The function is defined as the greatest integer greater than or equal to x. B. The greatest integer function is classified as a piecewise function. C. The range of the greatest integer function is the set of natural numbers. D. The domain of the greatest integer function is all whole numbers. 2. What's the common difference of the sequence –5, –2, 1, 4, 7, . . . ?

Answers

Final answer:

The true statement about the greatest integer function is that it is a piecewise function. The common difference of the given sequence is 3.

Explanation:

Let's break down each part of the question to provide a clear and accurate response.

Part 1: Greatest Integer Function

The statement that is true about the greatest integer function is B. The greatest integer function is classified as a piecewise function. The greatest integer function, denoted as [x], returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x. This function is indeed piecewise because it is defined in multiple pieces - for each interval of real numbers between integers, it takes a constant value equal to the lower endpoint of that interval.

Part 2: Common Difference of Sequences

To find the common difference of the sequence – 5, – 2, 1, 4, 7,  …, you subtract any term from the term that follows it. For instance, – 2 - (– 5) = 3. Therefore, the common difference is 3.

Find the slope intercept form of the equation for the line that goes through (3, 5) and is parallel to y=5x - 1.

Answers

Answer:

y=5x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

since we know it is parallel to y=5x-1, we know that it has the same slope of 5.

So, we plug it in:

y=mx+b

y=5

x=3

(taken from point (3,5))

m=5

(taken from parallel line)

5=(5)(3)+b

5=15+b

b=-10

The equation would be y=5x-10

Jackie is selling smoothies at a school fair. She starts the day with $15 in her cash box to provide change to her customers. If each smoothie costs $3.75, which graph represents the balance of the cash box, y, after Jackie sells x smoothies?

Answers

the answer would be D

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie is selling smoothies at a school fair. She starts the day with $15 in her cash box to provide change to her customers.

Each smoothie costs $3.75, then cost of x smoothies is: $3.75x

Then, y=3.75x+15

When x=0 y=15

when x=4 y=3.75×4+15

             i.e.   y=30

The only graph which satisfies y=0 at x=0 and y=30 at x=4 is D.

The total cost of a dress,including tax, was $121.37. If 6% tax was added to the sale price, what was the sale price before taxes?

Answers

Answer:

We have

sale price + 6% x sale price = $121.37;

Then

(106/100) x sale price = $121.37;

sale price = $121.37 x 100 / 106;

sale price = $12137 / 106;

sale price = $114.50;

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sale price of a dress before a 6% tax added up to a total of $121.37, divide the total by 1.06. The original sale price was $114.50.

The student is asking how to calculate the sale price of a dress before tax when the total cost, including a 6% tax, was $121.37. To find the sale price before taxes, you need to divide the total cost by 1 plus the tax rate expressed as a decimal.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal, which gives us 0.06 for a 6% tax. Then, add 1 to the tax rate (1 + 0.06 = 1.06) and divide the total cost by this sum to get the original price:

Sale price = Total cost / (1 + Tax rate)
Sale price = $121.37 / 1.06
Sale price = $114.50 (rounded to the nearest penny)

Therefore, the original sale price of the dress was $114.50.

• translate up 1 unit
• translate left 2 units

Answers

Answer:

The resulting function after the sequence of transformations is  [tex]f(x)=3(x+2)^5+1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x)

the function a*f(x) will be a vertical stretch of factor a,  given a > 1 the function f(x) + b will be the translated function vertically up b unitsthe function f(x+c) will be horizontally translated function of the original by c units left

Remembering these points, we can apply the rules to [tex]x^5[/tex].

Strech vertically by 3 would be [tex]3x^5[/tex]translate up 1 unit would be [tex]3x^{5}+1[/tex]translate left 2 units would make it [tex]3(x+2)^5+1[/tex]
