1/x + 1/3x =6 how do you solve this equation for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 2/9 (or = 0.222)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/x + 1/(3x) =6  (multiply both sides by 3x)

(1/x) (3x)  + [1/(3x)](3x) =6 (3x)

3 + 1 = 18x

4 = 18x

x = 4/18

x = 2/9 (or = 0.222)

Find the exact value of tan( cos^-1 ( -5/13))
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

-¹²/₅  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cos a = -⁵/₁₃

Then tan a = sin a/cos a

= [√(1 - cos²a)]/cos a

= {√[1 - (-⁵/₁₃)²]}/(-⁵/₁₃)

= -[√(1 - ²⁵/₁₆₉)] × ¹³/₅

= -[(√(¹⁴⁴/₁₆₉ )] × ¹³/₅

= -¹²/₁₃ × ¹³/₅

= -¹²/₅

tan(arccos (-⁵/₁₃)) = -¹²/₅

The diagram shows the 2nd  quadrant of a circle with radius 13, cos a = -⁵/₁₃, and tan a = ¹²/₍₋₅₎ = -¹²/₅.

Sammie has 3 times as many goldfish as Nora. Nora has 4 goldfish.
defon
For Sammie the equation would be S=3N.

If Nora (N) has 4 goldfish, you substitute N=4 into the previous equation to find out how many goldfish Sammie has.

>  S= 3 x 4 
= 12

The next part of the question is asking you how many goldfish do Sammie and Nora have in all. If Sammie has 12 goldfish and Nora has 4 goldfish, the equation would be 12 + 4= 16

The answer would be 16 goldfish in total.

Which value must be added to the expression x2 + x to make it a perfect-square trinomial? One-fourth One-half 1 4
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + x

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + x

x² + 2(\frac{1}{2} )x + (\frac{1}{2} )² = x² + x + \frac{1}{4}

= (x + \frac{1}{2} )² ← perfect square
