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

Mathematics

Lisa [10]1 year ago

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}

Math help.... Please....
garri49 [273]
First, you want to solve for the equation for this problem, would be: 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
While N = The amount of nickels, and D = The amount of dimes. 

Since N = 164, and D = 123. It would add up to 287 coins. 164 + 123 = 287. 
Now that you have the number for those two variables, solve the equation for when N = 164, and D = 123. 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
<span>0.05(164) + 0.10(123) = 20.50 
</span><span>8.2 + 12.3 = 20.50 
</span>20.50 = 20.50 
So, there is 164 nickels, and 123 dimes for your answer. 

<em>I hope this helps! </em>

Describe the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines, their slopes and graphs
Aloiza [94]

Parallel lines have the same slopes (but different y intercepts). Parallel lines never cross. Parallel lines are the same distance from each other no matter where you are on either line. Think of it like a pair of perfectly straight railroad tracks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perpendicular lines cross at one point. The two lines form a 90 degree angle. The two slopes multiply to -1, which is another way of saying that the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. For example, a line with a slope of 2/3 and another line with a slope of -3/2 has these two values multiply to -1; therefore showing they are perpendicular lines.
