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
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The glee club has a set of 48 classical cds and a set of 42 show tune cds. each set can be divided equally among the club member

Hoochie [10]

We have to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 48 and 42 here...

Factors of 48:
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48

Factors of 42:
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42

The largest common factor of these two numbers is 6.

So, there can be a maximum of 6 members in the club..

Hope this helped!

Graph y = | x | + 5 .

vovikov84 [41]

I cannot see the images, but...

y = | x | + 5

consider the absolute value function. You know that for every value of x, y will be greater than or equal to 5. this means that the y-intercept will also be the bottom of the curve.

Plug a few values in for an idea of what the graph will look like:
f(-1) = 6 (-1,6)
f(1) = 6 (1, 6)
f(-2) = 7 (-2, 7)
f(2) = 7 (2, 7)

The graph will have a minimum value at (0,5), where two lines will converge. The graph will look like a pointy cone with its point at (0,5), with two lines pointing outward and upward from this point. Confirm that the graph passes through the coordinates provided above!
