Given that 212basex + 122basex=1111 basex.Find x​

Mathematics

Write out the decimal expansion of each number:

212_x \equiv 2x^2 + x + 2

122_x \equiv  x^2 + 2x + 2

1111_x \equiv x^3 + x^2 + x + 1

Note that x must be greater than 2. Solve for x.

212_x + 122_x = 1111_x \iff (2x^2 + x + 2) + (x^2 + 2x + 2) = x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies 3x^2 + 3x + 4 = x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies x^3 - 2x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies (x^3 - 3x^2) + (x^2 - 3x) + x - 3 = 0 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies x^2(x-3) + x(x-3) + (x-3) = 0 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies (x-3) (x^2+x+1) = 0 \\\\ ~~~~ \implies \boxed{x=3}

I believe the answer is C because if you add the other numbers to 1/2 witch in a decimal is 0.5 the other choices all are continues and 0.314 doesn't continue forever when added 0.5

Hope this helps

Determine the intercepts of the line. -4x + 7 = 2y - 3
Strike441 [17]

x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the intercepts of a line are found by plugging in x=0 and y = 0

For x-intercept, we put y = 0

and

For- y-intercept we put  =0

Given equation is:

-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\Putting\ y = 0\\-4x + 7 = 2(0) - 3\\-4x+7 = -3\\-4x = -3-7\\-4x = -10

Dividing both sides by -4

\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-10}{-4}\\ = \frac{5}{2}

Putting x = 0

-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\-4(0)+7 = 2y -3\\7 = 2y-3\\7+3 = 2y\\2y = 10

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{10}{2}\\y = 5

So,

x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

May has 5 cups of dough. It takes 1/3 cup of dough to make one dinner roll. How many dinner rolls can she make with the dough sh
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

15 Rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is one that can be solved simply by dividing.

Take 5, and divide that by 1/3.

However, you can't just do this. The way I did it was by turning 5 into 5/1. Then, Multiply by the reciprocal, which would be 5 x 3, which equals 15.
