solve for w.
-9/7=-2/3w-1/2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]w=\frac{33}{28}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w, we want to isolate w.

[tex]-\frac{9}{7}=-\frac{2}{3}w-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]            [add both sides by 1/2]

[tex]-\frac{11}{14}=-\frac{2}{3}w[/tex]                 [multiply both sides by -3/2]

[tex]w=\frac{33}{28}[/tex]

Now we know that [tex]w=\frac{33}{28}[/tex].

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\sf w=\dfrac{33}{28} \\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf -\dfrac{9}{7} =-\dfrac{2w}{3} -\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

First, take -2w/3 to the left side.

[tex]\sf -\dfrac{9}{7}+\dfrac{2w}{3} = -\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then, add 9/7 to both sides.

[tex]\sf \dfrac{2w}{3} = -\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{9}{7}[/tex]

Make the denominators the same and add the fractions.

[tex]\sf \dfrac{2w}{3} = -\dfrac{1*7}{2*7}+\dfrac{9*2}{7*2}\\\\\sf \dfrac{2w}{3} = -\dfrac{7}{14}+\dfrac{18}{14}\\\\\sf \dfrac{2w}{3} = \dfrac{-7+18}{14}\\\\\sf \dfrac{2w}{3} = \dfrac{11}{14}[/tex]

Use cross multiplication.

[tex]\sf 2w*14=11*3\\\\28w=33[/tex]

Divide both sides by 28.

[tex]\sf w=\dfrac{33}{28} \\[/tex]

Given 12 consecutive integers, how many ways can three of these integers be selected to give a sum which divides by 4.

Disclaimer: A lot of points to be given, Full explanation required. Not only answer. Remember the sum of the number must be divisible by 4. I think modular arithmetic is the way to solve it, but who knows???

Answers

Answer:

55 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 12 consecutive integers:

3 - divide by 4, so the remainder is 0 3- give remainder of 1 3- give remainder of 2 3 - give remainder of 3

Sum of 3 integers will be divisible by 4 if the remainders are:

0 - 0 - 0 ⇒ 1 combination 0 - 1 - 3 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations 0 - 3 - 1 ⇒ 3*3 = 9  combinations 1 - 1 - 2  ⇒ 2*3 = 6  combinations 1 - 2 - 1  ⇒ 2*3 = 6  combinations 2 - 1 - 1 ⇒ 2*3 = 6 combinations 3 - 0 - 1 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations 3 - 1 - 0 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations

So total number of combinations is:

1 + 9*4 + 6*3 = 55

c) Find z/w. Write your answer in both polar form with ∈ [0, 2pi] and in complex form.

places.

Answers

Answer:

See Below (Boxed Solutions).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two complex numbers:

[tex]\displaystyle z = \sqrt{3} - i\text{ and } w = 6\left(\cos \frac{5\pi}{12} + i\sin \frac{5\pi}{12}\right)[/tex]

First, convert z to polar form. Recall that polar form of a complex number is:

[tex]z=r\left(\cos \theta + i\sin\theta\right)[/tex]

We will first find its modulus r, which is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle r = |z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

In this case, a = √3 and b = -1. Thus, the modulus is:

[tex]r = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + (-1)^2} = 2[/tex]

Next, find the argument θ in [0, 2π). Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{b}{a}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \arctan\frac{(-1)}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = -\frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]

Since z must be in QIV, using reference angles, the argument will be:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \frac{11\pi}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, z in polar form is:

[tex]\displaystyle z=2\left(\cos \frac{11\pi}{6} + i \sin \frac{11\pi}{6}\right)[/tex]

Part A)

Recall that when multiplying two complex numbers z and w:

[tex]zw=r_1\cdot r_2 \left(\cos (\theta _1 + \theta _2) + i\sin(\theta_1 + \theta_2)\right)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle zw = (2)(6)\left(\cos\left(\frac{11\pi}{6} + \frac{5\pi}{12}\right) + i\sin\left(\frac{11\pi}{6} + \frac{5\pi}{12}\right)\right)[/tex]

Simplify. Hence, our polar form is:

[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{zw = 12\left(\cos\frac{9\pi}{4} + i\sin \frac{9\pi}{4}\right)}[/tex]

To find the complex form, evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle zw = 12\cos \frac{9\pi}{4} + i\left(12\sin \frac{9\pi}{4}\right) =\boxed{ 6\sqrt{2} + 6i\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Part B)

Recall that when raising a complex number to an exponent n:

[tex]\displaystyle z^n = r^n\left(\cos (n\cdot \theta) + i\sin (n\cdot \theta)\right)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{10} = r^{10} \left(\cos (10\theta) + i\sin (10\theta)\right)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{10} = (2)^{10} \left(\cos \left(10\left(\frac{11\pi}{6}\right)\right) + i\sin \left(10\left(\frac{11\pi}{6}\right)\right)\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{10} = 1024\left(\cos\frac{55\pi}{3}+i\sin \frac{55\pi}{3}\right)[/tex]

Simplify using coterminal angles. Thus, the polar form is:

[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{z^{10} = 1024\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{3} + i\sin \frac{\pi}{3}\right)}[/tex]

And the complex form is:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{10} = 1024\cos \frac{\pi}{3} + i\left(1024\sin \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \boxed{512+512i\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Part C)

Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{z}{w} = \frac{r_1}{r_2} \left(\cos (\theta_1-\theta_2)+i\sin(\theta_1-\theta_2)\right)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{z}{w} = \frac{(2)}{(6)}\left(\cos \left(\frac{11\pi}{6} - \frac{5\pi}{12}\right) + i \sin \left(\frac{11\pi}{6} - \frac{5\pi}{12}\right)\right)[/tex]

Simplify. Hence, our polar form is:

[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{ \frac{z}{w} = \frac{1}{3} \left(\cos \frac{17\pi}{12} + i \sin \frac{17\pi}{12}\right)}[/tex]

And the complex form is:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{z}{w} &= \frac{1}{3} \cos\frac{5\pi}{12} + i \left(\frac{1}{3} \sin \frac{5\pi}{12}\right)\right)\\ \\ &=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}\right) + i\left(\frac{1}{3}\left(- \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}\right)\right) \\ \\ &= \boxed{\frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}}{12} -\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{12}i}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Part D)

Let a be a cube root of z. Then by definition:

[tex]\displaystyle a^3 = z = 2\left(\cos \frac{11\pi}{6} + i\sin \frac{11\pi}{6}\right)[/tex]

From the property in Part B, we know that:

[tex]\displaystyle a^3 = r^3\left(\cos (3\theta) + i\sin(3\theta)\right)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle r^3\left(\cos (3\theta) + i\sin (3\theta)\right) = 2\left(\cos \frac{11\pi}{6} + i\sin \frac{11\pi}{6}\right)[/tex]

If two complex numbers are equal, their modulus and arguments must be equivalent. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle r^3 = 2\text{ and } 3\theta = \frac{11\pi}{6}[/tex]

The first equation can be easily solved:

[tex]r=\sqrt[3]{2}[/tex]

For the second equation, 3θ must equal 11π/6 and any other rotation. In other words:

[tex]\displaystyle 3\theta = \frac{11\pi}{6} + 2\pi n\text{ where } n\in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

Solve for the argument:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \frac{11\pi}{18} + \frac{2n\pi}{3} \text{ where } n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

There are three distinct solutions within [0, 2π):

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \frac{11\pi}{18} , \frac{23\pi}{18}\text{ and } \frac{35\pi}{18}[/tex]

Hence, the three roots are:

[tex]\displaystyle a_1 = \sqrt[3]{2} \left(\cos\frac{11\pi}{18}+ \sin \frac{11\pi}{18}\right) \\ \\ \\ a_2 = \sqrt[3]{2} \left(\cos \frac{23\pi}{18} + i\sin\frac{23\pi}{18}\right) \\ \\ \\ a_3 = \sqrt[3]{2} \left(\cos \frac{35\pi}{18} + i\sin \frac{35\pi}{18}\right)[/tex]

Or, approximately:

[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{ a _ 1\approx -0.4309 + 1.1839i,} \\ \\ \boxed{a_2 \approx -0.8099-0.9652i,} \\ \\ \boxed{a_3\approx 1.2408-0.2188i}[/tex]

The system of linear equations x – y + 2 = 0 and 2x + y -14 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

(4, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

x - y + 2 = 0 ( subtract - y + 2 from both sides )

x = y - 2 → (1)

2x + y - 14 = 0 → (2)

Substitute x = y - 2 into (2)

2(y - 2) + y - 14 = 0 ← distribute and simplify left side

2y - 4 + y - 14 = 0

3y - 18 = 0 ( add 18 to both sides )

3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = 6 - 2 = 4

solution is (4, 6 )

If LM = 9x + 27 and RS = 135, find x.

Answers

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

LM = RS

9x+27 = 135

Subtract 27 from each side

9x+27-27 =135-27

9x=108

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x = 12

the boxes are equivalent so the one with a single dash is equal to the other with a single dash.

the one with 2 dashes is equal to the other with 2 dashes so on and so forth

SR=LM

LM=9x+27

RS=135

9x+27=135

so I solve it in my own weird way but you can solve it differently. 135-27=108

108/9=12

so your answer is 12

The ratio of Mitchell's age to Connor's age is 8:5. In thirty years, the ratio of their ages will be 6:5. How much older is Mitchell than Connor now?

Answers

Answer:

9 years older

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of their ages is 8 : 5 = 8x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )

In 30 years their ages will be 8x + 30 and 5x + 30 and the ratio 6 : 5 , so

[tex]\frac{8x+30}{5x+30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5(8x + 30) = 6(5x + 30) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

40x + 150 = 30x + 180 ( subtract 30x from both sides )

10x + 150 = 180 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

10x = 30 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 3

Then

Michell is 8x = 8 × 3 = 24 years old

Connor is 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 years old

Mitchell is 24 - 15 = 9 years older than Connor

Make me another one, or I'm going to school on an empty stomach.(Mrs. Jones sighs and makes him another piece of toast. Jake quickly eats it and walks away without thanking her. Mrs. Jones continues with her work. She hears her daughter yelling.)MRS. JONES: What is it, Clara?CLARA: Mom, come have a look at what Mattie has done.(Mrs. Jones wipes her soapy hands and walks into the living room. She is stunned when she sees the white walls with drawings all over them. She finds her youngest son, Mattie, behind the couch, busy making a drawing on the wall. Without bothering to notice what he is drawing, she drags him out from behind the couch.)MRS. JONES: Mattie, look at what you've done. How could you make such a mess? You've ruined the walls.MATTIE: But, mom, I was just . . .MRS. JONES: Be quiet, Mattie. Day after day I have to look after the three of you, and I never get any appreciation. And now you've gone and scribbled all over the walls. Do you know how long it'll take me to clean up this mess?MATTIE: I'm sorry, mom, I didnt mean to.MRS. JONES: Sorry doesn't change the fact that you've made a big mess.(Mattie looks like he is about to cry.)MRS. JONES: Don't cry, Mattie. Crying is not the solution to our problems.MATTIE: I'm sorry. I'll clean it up right away, mom.MRS. JONES: Yes, you better. Now go and get some soap and a scrubber and get to cleaning.(Mattie looks discouraged as he leaves the room. Mrs. Jones is still furious as she watches him go. She then turns to the wall and her expression changes into one of shock.)MRS. JONES: (to herself) What? Its a drawing of Mattie and me, and the words "I love you, mom" are written below it.(Mattie returns to the room with the soap and scrubber. She looks at him with tear-filled eyes and hugs him tightly to her as he reaches her.)MRS. JONES: I'm sorry too, Mattie.
