Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x = -2/3 , 1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 (hardest step!) factor by grouping:

(3x + 2)(x-1) = 0

the rest is easy:

3x + 2 = 0  or (x-1) = 0

Solve each for x:

3x + 2 = 0

x = -2/3

x-1 = 0

x = 1

So your 2 solutions for x are -2/3 and 1

What is a triangle?

It is a two-dimensional figure which has three sides and the sum of the three angles is equal to 180 degrees.

We have,

In this triangle:

angle W = (3x-24) degrees.

angle C = (4x-11) degrees.

angle T = 2x degrees.

Now,

The sum of the three angles is equal to 180 degrees.

3x - 24 + 4x - 11 + 2x = 180

9x - 35 = 180

9x = 180 + 35

9x = 215

x = 215/9

Now,

The angle W.

= 3x - 24

= (3 x 215/9) - 24

= 215/3 - 24

= 71.67 - 24

= 47.67

Thus,

The value of angle W is 47.67

So if I get paid every 12 days and I put 80$ back every 12 days how long would it take to get to 2000 dollars

Answers

It will take 300 days to get to 2000 dollars.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

One gets paid every 12 days and one puts back $80 every 12 days.

Now, the total amount of dollars is $2000.

Now, we have the following progression:

80, 160, 240, ...

This is an arithmetic progression.

an = a+(n-1)d where a is the first term and d is the common difference

2000 = 80+(n-1)80

2000 = 80+80n-80

2000 = 80n

n = 2000/80

n = 25

Now, the number of days one is paid is after 12 days.

So, the number of days to get 2000 dollars:

25*12

300 days

Hence, it will take 300 days to get to 2000 dollars.

The total segment AE is 46.

What is SAS(Side -Angle-Side) triangle?

"SAS" is when we know two sides and the angle between them.

To solve an SAS triangle we use "The Law of Cosines" to calculate the unknown side.

The Law of Cosines = a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA

where

'b' and 'c' are two given sides

'A' is the angle between side 'b' and 'c' and

a' is the unknown side which we have to find.

In ΔABC , b=21, c=20, a= AC

By the Cosine law

a² = 21²+20² - 2*21*20 cos90°

a² =441 + 400 - 0 (∵cos 90° =0)

a² = 841

a=√841

a=29= AC.

Now, in ΔCDE, b=8, c=15 and a = CE

By the Cosine law

a² = 8² + 15²- 2*8*15cos90°

a² = 64 + 225 - 0 (∵cos 90° =0)

a²= 289

a = 17 = CE.

AE = AC + CE

AE = 29+17= 46.

Therefore, the total segment AE is 46.

======================

Given function

f(x) = 8 - 4x

Find the indicated values

(a) f(-7)

f(-7) = 8 - 4(-7) = 8 + 28 = 36

(b) f(0)

f(0) = 8 - 4(0) = 8 - 0 = 8

(c) f(4)

f(4) = 8 - 4(4) = 8 - 16 = - 8

Answer:

a) f(-7) = 36 b) f(0) = 8 c) f(4) = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) f(-7) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(-7) = 8 - 4(-7)

→ f(-7) = 8 + 28

→ f(-7) = 36

Hence, f(-7) = 36.

b) f(0) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(0) = 8 - 4(0)

→ f(0) = 8 - 0

→ f(0) = 8

Hence, f(0) = 8.

c) f(4) = ?

→ f(x) = 8 - 4x

→ f(4) = 8 - 4(4)

→ f(4) = 8 - 16

→ f(4) = -8

Hence, f(4) = -8.

The amount Chris owes in tax is $1360.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

The first $25,000 is taxed at 8%.

This means,

Amount from 0 to $25000 is taxed at 8%.

Now,

Chris earned = $17,000

Tax amount.

= 8% of 17,000

= 8/100 x 17,000

= 8 x 170

= $1360

The tax amount is $1360.

Volume of box = 3456 cubic inches

We know that the box is in the shape of cuboid.

Following formula is used to find the volume of cuboid:

Volume = length*width*height

12*8*height = 3456

96*height = 3456

Dividing both sides by 96:

Answers

The equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0 which can be found out from slope intercept formula.

It is given to us that -

The point is P(-8,0)

The line is represented as y=-3

The point P is perpendicular to the given line.

We have to find out the equation of the line passing through P which is perpendicular to the given line.

We know that the equation of a line is given by -

y = mx + c

where, (x, y) = coordinates of the point

m = slope of the line

c = a constant

Comparing this with the equation of the given line, we have

m=0 and c =-3

This implies that the slope of the perpendicular is also equal to 0.

The slope intercept formula for the perpendicular line can be represented as -

y = mx + c

Using the coordinates of P(-8,0), we have

0 = 0*(-8) +c

=> c = 0.

Thus, the equation of line passing through the point P(-8,0) that is perpendicular to the line y=-3 is y=0.

Blue : Red

3 : 5

Now we can add another ratio for the whole.

Blue : Red : Total

Total is Blue + Red = 3 + 5 = 8

So

Blue : Red : Total

3 : 5 : 8

Then the part : whole ratio for Blue is...

Blue : Total

3 : 8

(Required: IPO Chart) Alaska's vast Denali National Park is divided into designated tracts of wilderness, some as big as whole counties. Snowfields and glaciers on the northern face of the Alaska Range mountains feed wide-braided rivers that cut valleys through tundra. The landscape is treeless and trail-less as far as you can see, and far beyond. There are no markers or signposts to designate where one tract ends and another begins. They appear only on maps for the purpose of allotting back-country hiking permits. A portion of one of the tracts is even more special. It's off-limits. It's called Sable Pass, 60 or so square miles of lumpy tundra protected against human intrusion, except for scientists who have carved themselves an exemption. The purpose is to give wildlife one true sanctuary from people. Sable Pass is in my thoughts because the last of the nation's public lands are in political play these days, and too often we limit the discussion to how these lands should be "used." Backpackers versus Jeeps. Oil drilling versus caribou. Tree cutters versus tree huggers. Jobs versus recreation. I would feel better about the future if our political debate about public lands accounted for the intangible, but vital, need for wilderness. Not just for nature's sake but for the sake of our souls. Can elk live on pastures with cows? Yes. Can caribou co-exist with oil rigs? They do. Grizzly bears can live in garbage dumps too. But wilderness, true wilderness, does not exist with cow pastures and oil rigs and garbage dumps. Wilderness is not defined by how it can be used. Like Sable Pass, wilderness is about not using it at all. Except to preserve our diminishing sense of wonder.8Based on the tone of this passage, the author is most likely a member of which group?
