To solve, we must get x by itself. the first step we must take is to remove all of the parentheses. To do this, we must use distribution to multiply 5 by x - 6.

5(x - 6) = 3x - 18 + 2x

5x - 30 = 3x - 18 + 2x

Next, we must add like terms.

5x - 30 = 5x - 18

Finally, we must get x by itself. to do this, we must subtract 5x from both sides.

5x - 30 - 5x = 5x - 18 - 5x

Then, we add like terms again.

-30 = -18

Because this is a false statement, the equation is a contradiction.

Find II 2e-3f II^2 assuming that e & f are unit vectors such that II e +f II=sqrt(3/2).
sergey [27]

<span>We are given that ||e|| = 1, ||f|| = 1. </span>

<span>Since ||e + f|| = sqrt(3/2), we have </span>
<span>3/2 = (e + f) dot (e + f) </span>
<span>= (e dot e) + 2(e dot f) + (f dot f) </span>
<span>= ||e||^2 + 2(e dot f) + ||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 1^2 + 2(e dot f) + 1^2 </span>
<span>= 2 + 2(e dot f). </span>

<span>So e dot f = -1/4. </span>

<span>Therefore, </span>
<span>||2e - 3f||^2 = (2e - 3f) dot (2e - 3f) </span>
<span>= 4(e dot e) - 12(e dot f) + 9(f dot f) </span>
<span>= 4||e||^2 - 12(e dot f) + 9||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 4(1)^2 - 12(-1/4) + 9(1)^2 </span>
<span>= 4 + 3 + 9 </span>
<span>= 16. </span>

The volume of a cone is 3 cubic units and its height is x units. Which expression represents the radius of the cone base, in uni
yKpoI14uk [10]
Cone Volume = (PI * radius^2 * height) / 3
3 = (PI * radius^2* x) / 3
radius^2 = 9 / (PI * x)
radius = square root (9 / (PI * x))
