You add +5k to both sides to eliminate-5k, leaving you with -3k=9 { since you added 5k to both sides } . then you divide both -3k on both sides { to isolate k }, leaving you with k = -3 as your answer.

Answer:

k = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This one is quite easy once you know how to achive this:

What you want to to is first add 5k to both sides

-8k + 5k = -5k + 5k + 9

This eliminates the 5k leaving

-3k = 9

And since you can't have a negative exponent, times both sides by -1

-3k x -1 = 9 x -1

3k = -9

Now divide both sides by 3 to get the answer

3k/3 = -9/3

k = -3

and thats the answer.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(x^2+x-2)^2 at (-1,4)

Keith_Richards [23]

Compute the derivative of y = (x² + x - 2)² using the chain rule:

dy/dx = 2 (x² + x - 2) d/dx [x² + x - 2]

dy/dx = 2 (x² + x - 2) (2x + 1)

Evaluate the derivative at x = -1 :

dy/dx (-1) = 2 ((-1)² + (-1) - 2) (2 (-1) + 1) = 4

This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).

Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:

y - 4 = 4 (x - (-1)) → y = 4x + 8

4. The students in Mr. Michael’s art class are decorating a booth for Harvest Day. They have blue cloth that is 60 inches long,

MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

a.

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72.

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

$60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3$
