Step 1

Given;

$9x^2+16=0$

Required: To solve the equation.

Step 2

Solve the equation

$\begin{gathered} 9x^2+16-16=0-16 \\ 9x^2=-16 \\ \frac{9x^2}{9}=\frac{-16}{9} \\ x^2=-\frac{16}{9} \\ \sqrt{x^2}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{-16}{9}} \\ x=\sqrt{-\frac{16}{9}},\:x=-\sqrt{-\frac{16}{9}} \\ x=i\frac{4}{3},\:x=-i\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}$

Answer;

$x=\frac{4}{3}i,\text{ -}\frac{4}{3}i$

3. Sam and Tim each have savings accounts. Every month they each put in some of their

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y = 30x +50$ --- Sam

$y = 20x +80$ --- Tim

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sam Tim

х --- f(x) --------------- g(x)

1 --- 80 --------------- 100

2 --- 110 --------------- 120

3 --- 140 --------------- 140

4 --- 170 -------------- 160

Required

Determine the y value

y value implies the equation of the table

Calculating the equation of Sam

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,80)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,170)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{170 - 80}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{90}{3}$

$m = 30$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 80 = 30(x - 1)$

$y - 80 = 30x - 30$

Make y the subject

$y = 30x - 30 + 80$

$y = 30x +50$

Calculating the equation of Tim

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,100)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,160)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{160 - 100}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{60}{3}$

$m = 20$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 100 = 20(x - 1)$

$y - 100 = 20x - 20$

Make y the subject

$y = 20x - 20+100$

$y = 20x +80$

500 cats were chosen. 52% of the cats liked to sleep inside the house. Fish was the favorite dish of 25% of those cats, while 62

Alex777 [14]

You would need to take 500 * .52 = 260 next take 260 * .25 to find how many cats like fish which equals 65, the probability that it likes fish and it sleeps inside can be found by taking .52 * .25 = .13 so there would be a 13% chance of picking a cat that sleeps indoors and likes fish, 435 cats dont like fish found by taking 500-65=435 and finally to find how many cats sleep outside take 500-260=240 then take 240 * .625 = 150 then 240-150 = 90 so 90 cats like to sleep outside and like fish thats it!=) Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP (30 POINTS) Solve the rational equation x/3 = x^2/x + 5 , and check for extraneous solutions.

anygoal [31]

Option C: $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Explanation:

The equation is $\frac{x}{3} =\frac{x^{2} }{x+5}$

We shall determine the value of x, by simplifying the equation.

$\begin{aligned} x(x+5) &=3 x^{2} \\ x^{2}+5 x &=3 x^{2} \\ 2 x^{2}-5 x &=0 \\ x(2 x-5) &=0 \end{aligned}$

Thus, $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Now, let us check whether the solutions are extraneous solutions.

Let us substitute $x=0$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{0}{3}=\frac{0^{2}}{0+5}\\&0=\frac{0}{5}\\&0=0\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence $x=0$ is a true solution.

Now, Let us substitute $x=\frac{5}{2}$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}{3} &=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)+5} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{\left(\frac{25}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{5}{6}\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence, $x=\frac{5}{2}$ is a true solution.

Thus, solutions are not extraneous.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
