What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6) – 8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1) true? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

  3(x-6) -8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1)

  3x -18 -8x = -2 +10x +5 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -21 = 15x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5x -3 and collect terms

  x = -21/15 = -7/5

  x = -1.4

__

Check

  3(-1.4 -6) -8(-1.4) = -2 +5(2(-1.4) +1) . . . substitute for x

  3(-7.4) +11.2 = -2 +5(-2.8 +1)

  -22.2 +11.2 = -2 +5(-1.8)

  -11 = -2 -9 . . . . . true

You are designing a metal sculpture that will be placed in front of your school. You sketch an initial design
with a scale of 1 cm = 2 feet. The design shows that the sculpture has a length of 8 feet.
After reviewing your design, the principal asks you to use the same drawing, but change the scale to 1 cm
= 5 feet.
What will be the length of the sculpture using the new scale?

A. 8 feet
B. 12 feet
C. 15 feet
D. 20 feet

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the length of the sculpture using the new scale is given by:

D. 20 feet.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The initial scale is of 1 cm = 2 feet, with a sculpture of 8 feet, hence the length of the drawing is given by:

l = 8/2 = 4 cm.

For the new scale, 1 cm = 5 feet, and you keep the drawing of 4 cm, hence the length of the sculpture is given by:

l = 4 x 5 = 20 feet.

Hence option D is correct.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

We have two points on the graph, (2, 16) and (6, 48)

Let's say (2, 16) = (x₁, y₁) ( there's no reason why (6, 48) can't be (x₁, y₁), but one of them has to be it) and (6, 48) = (x₂, y₂). Our slope is then

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (48-16) / (6-2) = 32 / 4 = 8

b. If two cellphones are randomly selected from the box without replacement, what is the probability there will be one green cellphone and one yellow cellphone selected?
c. If three cellphones are selected with replacement (the first cellphone is returned to the box after it is selected), what is the probability that all three will be yellow?
d. If you were sampling with replacement (the first cellphone is returned to the box after it is selected), what would be the answers to (a) and (b)?

Answers

Probabilities are used to determine the chance of an event. The following are the summary of the solution.

The probability that the two selected cellphones are green (without replacement) is 15/28The probability that one green and one yellow is selected (without replacement) is 3/7The probability that all three cellphones are yellow (with replacement) is 1/64The probability that the two cellphones are green (with replacement) is 9/16The probability that one green and one yellow is selected (with replacement) is 3/8

Given that:

[tex]n = 8[/tex]

[tex]G = 6[/tex] --- Green

[tex]Y = 2[/tex] --- Yellow

(a) Probability that the two cellphones are green (without replacement).

Since the cellphone is not replaced, the probability is calculated as follows:

[tex]Pr = \frac Gn \times \frac{G - 1}{n-1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = \frac 68 \times \frac{6 - 1}{8-1}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 68 \times \frac 57[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{30}{56}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{15}{28}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the two cellphones are green (without replacement) is 15/28

(b) Probability that one green and one yellow is selected (without replacement).

Since the cellphone is not replaced, the probability is calculated as follows:

[tex]Pr = \frac Gn \times \frac{Y}{n-1} + \frac Yn \times \frac{G}{n-1}[/tex]  ---- The subtraction means the cellphones are not replaced

This gives

[tex]Pr = \frac 68 \times \frac{2}{8-1} + \frac 28 \times \frac{6}{8-1}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 34 \times \frac{2}{7} + \frac 14 \times \frac{6}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 32 \times \frac17 + \frac 12 \times \frac 37[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{3}{14}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Pr = \frac{3+3}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{6}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that one green and one yellow is selected (without replacement) is 3/7

(c) Probability that the all three cellphones are yellow (with replacement).

Since the cellphone is replaced, the probability is calculated as follows:

[tex]Pr = \frac Yn \times \frac Yn \times \frac Yn[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = \frac 28 \times \frac 28 \times \frac 28[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 14 \times \frac 14 \times \frac 14[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 1{64}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that all three cellphones are yellow (with replacement) is 1/64

(d1) Probability that the two cellphones are green (with replacement).

Since the cellphone is replaced, the probability is calculated as follows:

[tex]Pr = \frac Gn \times \frac{G}{n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = \frac 68 \times \frac{6}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 34 \times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the two cellphones are green (with replacement) is 9/16

(d2) Probability that one green and one yellow is selected (with replacement).

Since the cellphone is replaced, the probability is calculated as follows:

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = \frac Gn \times \frac{Y}{n} + \frac Yn \times \frac{G}{n}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Pr = \frac 68 \times \frac{2}{8} + \frac 28 \times \frac{6}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 34 \times \frac{1}{4} + \frac 14 \times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac 3{16} + \frac{3}{16}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Pr = \frac {3+3}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac {6}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac {3}{8}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that one green and one yellow is selected (with replacement) is 3/8

Answers

An ordered pair is simply the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of a point.

The ordered pair of the bullseye is (4,-2.5)

From the given image (see attachment), we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (9,3)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (-1,-8)[/tex]

The bullseye is at the midpoint of these two points.

So, the ordered pair of the bullseye is calculated using the following midpoint formula.

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{9-1}{2},\frac{3-8}{2})[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{8}{2},\frac{-5}{2})[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (4,-2.5)[/tex]

Hence, the ordered pair of the bullseye is (4,-2.5)

The expression 2x³+ ax² + bx-30 is divisible by x + 2 and leaves a remainder of -35 when divided by 2x-1. Find the values of the constants a and b.
I will give brainliest to correct answer

Answers

Answer:

a = 5, b = - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder theorem states that the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x - a) is equal to f(a)

Thus the remainder for division by (x + 2) is zero , then by substituting x = - 2 into the expression.

2(- 2)³ + a(- 2)² + b(- 2) - 30 = 0

2(- 8) + 4a - 2b - 30 = 0

- 16 + 4a - 2b - 30 = 0

- 46 + 4a - 2b = 0 ( add 46 to both sides )

4a - 2b = 46 → (1)

----------------------------------------------------

Similarly when f(x) is divided by (cx - a) the remainder is f([tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex] )

The remainder on dividing by (2x - 1) is - 35, then by substituting x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )³ + a([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] b - 30 = - 35

2([tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] a + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] b - 30 = - 35 ( add 30 to both sides )

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] a + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] b = - 5 ( multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions )

1 + a + 2b = - 20 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

a + 2b = - 21 → (2)

Solve (1) and (2) simultaneously )

Add (1) and (2) term by term to eliminate b

5a = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

a = 5

Substitute a = 5 into (2)

5 + 2b = - 21 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2b = - 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = - 13

According to the remainder theorem, when a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-t) then the remainder of the division is equal to P(t). The value of a and b are 5 and -13, respectively.

What is the Remainder theorem?

According to the remainder theorem, when a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-t) then the remainder of the division is equal to P(t). If P(t)=0, then the (x-t) is the factor of the polynomial.

Using the remainder theorem we can write,

f(x) = 2x³+ ax² + bx - 30

f(-2) = 2(-2)³ + a(-2)² + b(-2) - 30 = 0

-16 + 4a - 2b - 30 = 0

4a - 2b = 46   ........ equation 1

f(x) = 2x³+ ax² + bx - 30

f(1/2) = 2(1/2)³ + a(1/2)² + b(1/2) - 30 = -35

(1/4) + a(1/4) + b(1/2) = -35 + 30

(1+a+2b)/4 = -5

1 + a + 2b = -5 × 4

a + 2b = -21   .......... equation 2

Adding the two equations,

4a + 2b + a - 2b = 46 - 21

5a = 25

a = 25/5

a = 5

Substitute the value of a in any one of the equation,

a + 2b = -21

5 + 2b = -21

2b = -21 - 5

2b = -26

b = -26/2

b = -13

Hence, the value of a and b are 5 and -13, respectively.
