How many solutions are there if m < 0 and p > k ? p + m| x + n| = k

Mathematics

neonofarm [45]2 years ago

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions are ...

  p +m|x +n| = k . . . . . given

  m|x +n| = k -p . . . . . . subtract p

  |x +n| = (k -p)/m = (p -k)/-m . . . . . . must have (p-k)/-m ≥ 0

  x = -n ± (p -k)/-m

For the given conditions, m < 0, p > k, we are guaranteed that (p-k)/-m > 0, so there are 2 solutions.

The principal amount is 5000 dollars = 3, 70,000 rupees (5000 dollars x 74 Rupees)

Rate = 2.5%

Time = 1 year

Now, on putting the values given in the formula

S.I.= 9,250 Rupees

Now we convert it into dollars by diving 9,250 rupees by 74 rupees.

Genevieve wants to verify that negative x is the simplified expression of one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8).
mart [117]

Answer: -x

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:- 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x - 1/2 *(-8)

Determine the sign for multiplication or division: 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8 - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor:  x - 4 - 2x + 4

Reorder and gather like terms: (x - 2x) + (- 4 + 4)

Collect coefficients for the like terms: (1 - 2) * x + (- 4 + 4)

Calculate the sum or difference :  - x + (- 4 + 4)

The sum of two opposites equals 0: -x

Write the equation of the circle with center (0,0) and (3,6) a point on the circle
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

X^2+y^2=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation of a circle is (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2, we can substitute the h and k in which are both 0 and we get x^2+k^2=r^2. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the radius, we get r^2=45 or r=sqrt(45). So the equation for the circle is x^2+y^2=45.
