First observe that if a+b>0,

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + 2ab + b^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a + b)} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Let a=0 and b=x. It follows that

a+b = x = \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Now let b=1, so a^2+a=4x. Solving for a,

a^2 + a - 4x = 0 \implies a = \dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2

which means

a+b = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2 = \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Now solve for x.

x = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x}}2 \\\\ 2x = 1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ 2x - 1 = \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ (2x-1)^2 = \left(\sqrt{1 + 16x}\right)^2

(note that we assume 2x-1\ge0)

4x^2 - 4x + 1 = 1 + 16x \\\\ 4x^2 - 20x = 0 \\\\ 4x (x - 5) = 0 \\\\ 4x = 0 \text{ or } x - 5 = 0 \\\\ \implies x = 0 \text{ or } \boxed{x = 5}

(we omit x=0 since 2\cdot0-1=-1\ge0 is not true)

Which statement illustrates the Distributive Property of scalar multiplication? (Assume that A and B are matrices and c and d ar
olasank [31]

Answer:

C. cA-cB=c(A-B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A and B are matrices and c is a scalar, then the distributive property of scalar multiplication over addition is given by;

c(A+B)=cA+cB

The distributive property of scalar multiplication over subtraction is

c(A-B)=cA-cB

The correct answer is C.

How do i solve -96=-6(1-3b) with the steps
Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is b= - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-96 = -6 ( 1 - 3b )

-6 ( 1 - 3b ) = -96

\frac{-6(1 - 3b}{-6} = \frac{-96}{-6}

1 - 3b = 16

3b = 16 - 1 = 15

b= 15 : 3 = 5
