Find the smallest possible solution to 2/3x^2=24

1 answer:

4 0

$\dfrac{2}{3} x^2 = 24$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 2/3 on both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 24 \div \dfrac{2}{3}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the divide fraction to multiplication fraction :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 24 \times \dfrac{3}{2}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Simplify :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x^2 = 36$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x = \pm \sqrt{36}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$x = \pm6$

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The smallest possible value of x is -6
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Give the degree and classify the polynomial by the number of terms- 3

Alexxx [7]

The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variable(s). Examples: 5x2-2x+1 The highest exponent is the 2 so this is a 2nd degree trinomial. 3x4+4x2The highest exponent is the 4 so this is a 4thdegree binomial.

Which describes Myra's distance as time increases?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

(A)increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the time and total distance ran by Myra in the table below.

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}Time(minutes)&Distance(miles)\\--&--\\0&0.0\\2&0.4\\4&0.8\\6&1.2\\8&1.6\end{array}\right|$

We observe that as time increases, Myra's distance also increases. It is the speed(0.2 miles per minute) which is constant.

Therefore Option A is the correct option.

The height of a pyramid-shaped sculpture with a square base is one half the length of each side. The volume of the sculpture is

Nimfa-mama [501]

The volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 x base length^2 x height

Let X = base length.

We are told the height is 1/2 the length, so height would be 1/2x

Now we have:

972 = 1/3 * x^2 * 1/2x

Simplifying we get:

972 = 1/6x^3

Multiply both sides by 6:

5832 = x^3

Take the cube root of both sides:

x = 18

The length of the base is 18 inches.

The height is 1/2 that, so the height would be 18/2 = 9 inches.
