How do I write an algebraic equation for this word problem?

1 answer:

7 0

Hi.

Please note that I haven't done much algebra.

4 more = 4 +

Twice as many than the runner up means 2 times the amount they ate (a variable) = 2n

So far we have 4 + 2n

Since it's an equation, we are going to know what it equals. In the problem, we find out that it's 11. So the equation looks like this:

4 + 2n = 11

If this didn't work out, please let me know.

Rewrite this radicand as two factors, one of which is a perfect square.

seropon [69]

Answer:

$2 \sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) rewrite 60 as it's prime factors.

$\sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 3 \times } 5$

2) group the smae prime factors into pairs.

$\sqrt{(2 \times 2)} \times 3 \times 5$

3) Rewrite each pair in exponent form.

$\sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times 3 \times 5 }$

4) use this role:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = x$

$2 \sqrt{3 \times 5}$

5) Simplify.

$4 \sqrt{15}$

So, therefor, the answer is option 1.

Which sum or difference identity would you use to verify that cos (180° - q) = -cos q?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$\cos (a-b)=\cos a \cos b+\sin a \sin b$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q$

We have to write which identity we will use to prove the given statement.

Consider $\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q$

Take left hand side of given expression $\cos (180^{\circ}-q)$

We know

$\cos (a-b)=\cos a \cos b+\sin a \sin b$

Comparing , we get, a= 180° and b = q

Substitute , we get,

$\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=\cos 180^{\circ} \cos (q)+\sin q \sin 180^{\circ}$

Also, we know $\sin 180^{\circ}=0$ and $\cos 180^{\circ}=-1$

Substitute, we get,

$\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-1\cdot \cos (q)+\sin q \cdot 0$

Simplify , we get,

$\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos (q)$

Hence, use difference identity to prove the given result.
