Since the constant has been moved to the left side, you can move on to the next step which is adding (b/2)² to both sides of the equation.
h² + 14h + (14/2)² = -31 + (14/2)²
Simplify the parenthesis and exponent.
h² + 14h + 7² = -31 + 7²
h² + 14h + 49 = -31 + 49
h² + 14h + 49 = 18
Factor the expression of the left.
(h + 7)(h + 7) = 18
Take the square root of both sides.
√(h + 7)(h + 7) = ± √9 • 2
(h + 7) = ± 3√2
h + 7 = ± 3√2
Subtract 7 from both sides.
You solutions are:
h = -7 + 3√2 → -2.7573 → -2.76
h = -7 - 3√2 → -11.2426 → -11.24
Answer:
365 messages
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # text messages)
16.5 = 10 + .10(x - 300)
6.5 = .10x - 30
36.5 = .10x
x = 365
<span>Amount
of Rice (cups) Amount of Water (cups)
2 5
3 7.5
5 12.5
8 20
Let's find the ratio of rice and water:
5 / 2 = 2.5 => 2 * 5 = 5
7.5 / 3 = 2.5 => 3 * 2.5 = 7
12.5 / 5 = 2.5 => 5 * 2.5 = 12.5
20 / 8 = 2.5 => 8 * 2.5 = 20
So, as the ratio of water ot rice is constant, and the first variable is the amount of rice, you can calculate the amount of water given the amount of rice.
So, the amount of rice is independent value and the amount of water is dependent (it depends on the amount of rice).
The amount of rice is
the dependent value. FALSE
The amount of water is the dependent value.TRUE
The
amount of rice is the independent value. TRUE
The amount of water is the
independent value.</span>FALSE
Let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40 The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40 8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6 Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34 10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5
