Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3

to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.

(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)² (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3) (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9 (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9 (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10 -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1 (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1) (set each to equal 0)

x - 1 = 0 4x + 1 = 0
x = 1 4x = -1
x = -1/4

place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.

I NEED HELPPP<br><br> Whats the length of LN?

andre [41]

Answer:

LN = 66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 parallel lines divide the 2 sides they intersect in proportion, that is

$\frac{DE}{EF}$ = $\frac{LM}{MN}$ , substitute values

$\frac{7}{15}$ = $\frac{LM}{45}$ ( cross- multiply )

15LM = 315 ( divide both sides by 15 )

LM = 21

Hence

LN = LM + MN = 21 + 45 = 66 cm

1. The position of a particle moving along a coordinate axis is given by: s(t) = t^2 - 5t + 1. a) Find the speed of the particle

zimovet [89]

Answer: $\left | 2t-5\right |,\ 2,\ 2t-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Position of the particle moving along the coordinate axis is given by

$s(t)=t^2-5t+1$

Speed of the particle is given by

$\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{d(t^2-5t+1)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\left | 2t-5\right |$

Acceleration of the particle is

$\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow a=2$

velocity can be negative, but speed cannot

$\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{d(t^2-5t+1)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2t-5$

A student scored 66 points on his Psychology 101 midterm. If the average of his midterm and final must be between 78 and 90 incl

Paul [167]

Answer:

range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Psychology 101 score = 66

average of his midterm = between 78 and 90

maximum = 100 points

to find out

range of scores on final exam student get B

solution

we consider here lowest marks need in final = x

so average at two marks should be

equation is

average marks = 0.5 × ( mid term marks + final marks ) .................1

put here value

78 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )

x = 90

and

90 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )

x = 114

so range 90 to 114

but maximum marks is 100 so

range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100
