Answer:

-3x² -5x -1 = 0
-3 (quadratic)
-5 (linear)
-1 (constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be in standard form when terms are listed in order of decreasing degree, and the right side of the equation is 0.

<h3>Standard form</h3>

We can subtract the right-side expression from both sides to get standard form.

-3x² -8 -(5x -7) = 5x -7 -(5x -7)

-3x² -8 -5x +7 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify a bit

-3x² -5x -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

The standard form equation can be written ...

-3x² -5x -1 = 0

<h3>Coefficients</h3>

The quadratic coefficient is the coefficient of the term with degree 2. The quadratic coefficient is -3.

The linear coefficient is the coefficient of the term with degree 1. The linear coefficient is -5.

The constant coefficient is the coefficient of the term with no variables. The constant is -1.

<em>Additional comment</em>

We can make the leading coefficient positive by multiplying the equation by -1. This gives ...

3x² +5x +1 = 0

with quadratic, linear, and constant coefficients 3, 5, 1.

This is a legitimate answer to this question. In the case of linear equations, the "standard form" has the constant on the right side of the equal sign, and the leading coefficient is required to be positive. A negative leading coefficient can sometimes lead to errors (when the sign is overlooked), so having a positive leading coefficient is often preferred.

A fish with 68 meters at a constant speed in 8 minutes. On her homework assignment, Tracy said the fish traveled 60 meters per m

Natasha2012 [34]

Morgan is right because to find how much something is per minute you need to divide. In this case, you need to divide 68 and 8. The answer then is 8.5

A container in the shape of this cuboid holds 2 litres of water.

zysi [14]

Given:

Volume of cuboid container = 2 litres

The container has a square base.

Its height is double the length of each edge on its base.

To find:

The height of the container.

Solution:

We know that,

1 litre = 1000 cubic cm

2 litre = 2000 cubic cm

Let x be the length of each edge on its base. Then the height of the container is:

$h=2x$

The volume of a cuboid is:

$V=l\times w\times h$

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting $V=2000,\ l=x,\ w=x,\ h=2x$ , we get

$2000=x\times x\times 2x$

$2000=2x^3$

Divide both sides by 2.

$1000=x^3$

Taking cube root on both sides.

$\sqrt[3]{1000}=x$

$10=x$

Now, the height of the container is:

$h=2x$

$h=2(10)$

$h=20$

Therefore, the height of the container is 20 cm.

Suppose 11 people arrive at a bank at the same time. In how many ways can they line up to wait for the next available teller?

tresset_1 [31]

The answer would be C) because there are 11 possibilities of who can line up first, and after the first person, 10 possibilities, then 9, and so on. So you would need to multiply 11x10x9x8x...x1.

How do I create an equation and solve for x

vekshin1

Answer:

Equation: (2x + 30) + 106 = 180

x = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that the missing angle from within the triangle and the expression 2x + 30 makes 180 so we can say;</u>

180 - (33 + 41) = missing angle

180 - 74 = missing angle

<u>106</u>°<u> = missing angle</u>

Now we can set up our equation to solve for x:

(2x + 30) + missing angle = 180°

<u>(2x + 30) + 106 = 180</u>°<u> => This would be our equation:</u>

Now let's solve:

2x + 30 + 106 = 180°

2x + 136 = 180

2x = 180 - 136

2x = 44

x = 44/2

Hope this helps!
