Solve for x: two fifths(x − 2) = 4x.
x = two ninths
x = −2
x = negative two ninths
x = negative nine halves

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] (x - 2) = 4x

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

2(x - 2) = 20x ( divide both sides by 2 )

x - 2 = 10x ( subtract x from both sides )

- 2 = 9x ( divide both sides by 9 )

- [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = x

Solve the following equation using algebraic operations (4n-18=22)

Answers

Answer:

n=10

Step-by-step explanation:

22+18=40 40/4=10

Given

4n - 18 = 22

Add 18 to both sides:

(4n - 18) + 18 = 22 +18

4n = 40

Divide 4n to both sides

[tex]\frac{4n}{4}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{40}{4}[/tex]

n=10

Now if you have to you can substitute n into the original equation and see if they are equal to one another.

4n - 18 = 22

4(10) - 18 = 22

40 - 18 = 22

22 = 22

With this being done n = 10

We now have to find integers that find product is 8 and whose sum is −6

= -4 -2 we find this is set to 4 2 as x−4=0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation. x=4

Set the next factor equal to 0

x−2=0 Add 2 to both sides of the equation.x=2

Confirms and proves x = 4,  x = 2

We solve for y

2y+10=(4)2

2y+10=16

2y=16−10

2y = 6

y = 3

We rewrite and solve for y again

What is the complement to randomly choosing an R?

Answers

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is only 1 letter R in 6 options it is 1/6 (im not entirely sure)

Answer:   5/6

The complement of an event is basically the complete opposite.

If you define event A to be the event of selecting an R, then the complement of event A is not selecting R.

The probability of selecting R is 1/6 because there is 1 letter R out of 6 letters total. The complement of this is 5/6. You could count out 5 letters that aren't R, out of 6 total, or you can subtract 1/6 from 1 to get

1 - (1/6) = (6/6) - (1/6) = (6-1)/6 = 5/6

A swimming pool is being drained at a constant rate of 3 inches (depth of the water) per hour. The depth of the water after 5 hours is 32 inches. Write the equation for this function in point slope form.

Answers

Answer:

The equation for this function in point slope form: y = -3x+47

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a swimming pool is being drained at a constant rate of 3 inches (depth of the water) per hour.

Slope is the rate of change per unit represented by m

So, m = -3

General equation : y = mx+c ----1

y represents the depth of water

t represents the time

The depth of the water after 5 hours is 32 inches.

So, y =32 and x =5

Substitute the values in the equation

So,32=-3(5)+c

32=-15+c

32+15=c

47=c

Substitute the value of c and m in 1

So, The equation for this function in point slope form: y = -3x+47

O C. g(x) = (x – 4)2 + 3
O D. g(x) = (x+4)2 + 3

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then the graph of f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units

Given f(x) then the graph of f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Here f(x) has been shifted 4 units left and 3 units down, thus

g(x) = (x + 4)² - 3 → A

DA. 7
B. 4
D C.-7
OD. -2
0 E. -4
F. 2

Answers

Answer:

B and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression

[tex]\frac{x-7}{2x^2-32}[/tex] ← factorise the denominator

2x² - 32 ← take out a common factor of 2 from each term

= 2(x² - 16) ← (x² - 16) is a difference of squares

= 2(x - 4)(x + 4)

The expression can now be written as

[tex]\frac{x-7}{2(x-4)(x+4)}[/tex]

The denominator of the expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.

2(x - 4)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

These are the values of x that make the expression undefined.

x = 4 → B

x = - 4 → E

segment EF = 6 units

segment EF = 9 units

segment EF = 12 units

segment EF = 16 units

Answers

Answer:

Segment EF = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will figure out our equation:

Line FD is adjacent to angle a.

Line EF is opposite to angle a

and line ED is the hypotenuse.

Since we will being using Tangent, the hypotenuse is irrelevant.

Tan a° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Given the objective function C=3x−2y and constraints x≥0, y≥0, 2x+y≤10, 3x+2y≤18, identify the corner point at which the maximum value of C occurs.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find  the maximum value of

C = 3x -2y  Objective function

subject to the following constraints.

Constraints

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0                

2x + y ≤ 10  vertex 1 : when x=0 then y=10  (0,10)

3x + 2y ≤ 18 vertex 2 : y=0, then x=6          ( 6,0)

two equations together to determine vertex 3 :

3x+2y = 18

2x+y = 10

x=2, y= 6

The feasible region determined by the constraints is

shown. The three vertices are (0, 10),  and (6, 0), (0,9)

and (2,6)

First evaluate C = 3x -2 y at each of the vertices.

At (0, 10): C = 3(0) - 2(10) = -17

At (6, 0): C = 3(6) - 2(0) = 18

At ( 2,6) : C = 3(2) -2(6) = -6

At (0,9) : C = 3(0)-2(9)= -18

the maximum value occur on 18 when x=9 and y=0

Given the objective function is [tex]C=3x-2y[/tex] and the contraints as follows:

[tex]x\geq 0\\ y\geq 0\\ 2x+y\leq 10\\ 3x+2y\leq 18[/tex]

Find the intersecting point of [tex]x=0[/tex] and [tex]2x+y=10[/tex].

       Substitute 0 for [tex]x[/tex] in [tex]2x+y=10[/tex].

        [tex]2(0)+y=10\\ y=10[/tex]

      So, the intersecting point is [tex](0,10)[/tex].

Find the intersecting point of [tex]y=0[/tex] and [tex]2x+y=10[/tex].

       Substitute 0 for [tex]y[/tex] in [tex]2x+y=10[/tex].

        [tex]2x+0=10\\ 2x=10\\ x=5[/tex]

      So, the intersecting point is [tex](5,0)[/tex].

Find the intersecting point of [tex]x=0[/tex] and [tex]3x+2y=18[/tex].

       Substitute 0 for [tex]x[/tex] in [tex]3x+2y=18[/tex].

        [tex]3(0)+2y=18\\ 2y=18\\ y=9[/tex]

      So, the intersecting point is [tex](0,9)[/tex].

Find the intersecting point of [tex]y=0[/tex] and [tex]3x+2y=18[/tex].

       Substitute 0 for [tex]y[/tex] in [tex]3x+2y=18[/tex].

        [tex]3x+2(0)=18\\ 3x=18\\ x=6[/tex]

      So, the intersecting point is [tex](6,0)[/tex].

Find the intesecting point of [tex]2x+y=10,3x+2y=18[/tex].

        Add [tex]-2[/tex] times [tex]2x+y=10[/tex] to [tex]3x+2y=18[/tex].

        [tex]-2(2x+y)+3x+2y=-2(10)+18\\ -4x-2y+3x+2y=-20+18\\ -x=-2\\ x=2[/tex]

       Substitute [tex]x=2[/tex] in [tex]2x+y=10[/tex]:

        [tex]2(2)+y=10\\ 4+y=10\\y=6[/tex]

      So, the intersecting point is [tex](2,6)[/tex].

The origin [tex](0,0)[/tex] is also a intersecting point of [tex]x\geq 0,y\geq 0[/tex].

Corner points:

          The corner points are the boundary points of the bounded region of   the given constraints.

The bounded region of the given constraints is shown below.

From the graph notice that the shaded region is the required bounded region of the given constraints.The boundary points are [tex](0,0),(5,0),(0,9),(2,6)[/tex].

Evaluate the objective function [tex]C=3x-2y[/tex]at these boundary points:

At [tex](0,0)[/tex]:

[tex]C=3(0)-2(0)\\C=0[/tex]

At [tex](5,0)[/tex]:

[tex]C=3(5)-2(0)\\C=15[/tex]

At[tex](0,9)[/tex]:

[tex]C=3(0)-2(9)\\C=-18[/tex]

At[tex](2,6)[/tex]:

[tex]C=3(2)-2(6)\\C=6-12\\C=-6[/tex]

From the above calculated values, one can notice that the maximum value of [tex]C[/tex] is 15 and it is obtained at [tex](5,0)[/tex].

Hence, the maximum value of [tex]C[/tex] is 15 occurs at the corner point [tex](5,0)[/tex].

All companies will be charged at least $2,700 by the bank. Hey, I have a problem.
