Solve the proportion to determine the value of x. 2x / 5 = x+3 / 3

When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.

\frac{2x}{5} = \frac{x + 3}{3}

When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:

(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)

Now, solve it using algebra.

(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)       Multiply
       6x = 5x + 15         Subtract 5x from both sides
         x = 15

The value of x is 15.

What are the solutions of the equation x6 + 6x3 + 5 = 0? Use factoring to solve.
lapo4ka [179]

Consider the equation x^6+6x^3+5=0.

First, you can use the substitution t=x^3, then x^6=(x^3)^2=t^2 and equation becomes t^2+6t+5=0. This equation is quadratic, so

D=6^2-4\cdot 5\cdot 1=36-20=16=4^2,\ \sqrt{D}=4,\\ \\ t_{1,2}=\dfrac{-6\pm 4}{2} =-5,-1.

Then you can factor this equation:

(t+5)(t+1)=0.

Use the made substitution again:

(x^3+5)(x^3+1)=0.

You have in each brackets the expression like a^3+b^3 that is equal to (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2). Thus,

x^3+5=(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25}) ,\\x^3+1=(x+1)(x^2-x+1)

and the equation is

(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25})(x+1)(x^2-x+1)=0.

Here x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1 and you can sheck whether quadratic trinomials have real roots:

1. D_1=(-\sqrt[3]{5}) ^2-4\cdot \sqrt[3]{25}=\sqrt[3]{25} -4\sqrt[3]{25} =-3\sqrt[3]{25}.

2. D_2=(-1)^2-4\cdot 1=1-4=-3.

This means that quadratic trinomials don't have real roots.

Answer: x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1

If you need complex roots, then

x_{3,4}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5}\pm i\sqrt{3\sqrt[3]{25}}}{2}   ,\\ \\x_{5,6}=\dfrac{1\pm i\sqrt{3}}{2}.

En un triángulo, dos de sus ángulos internos miden 40º y 55º. Hallar la medida de su tercer ángulo interno.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

La medida del tercer ángulo interno es 85°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Los triángulos son figuras geométricas planas que poseen tres lados en contacto entre sí en puntos comunes denominados vértices. A su vez, los triángulos poseen tres ángulos interiores. Estos tres ángulos interiores del triángulo suman 180°.

En este caso, en un triángulo, dos de sus ángulos internos miden 40º y 55º. Siendo θ el tercer ángulo interior, entonces:

θ + 40° + 55°= 180°

Resolviendo:

θ + 95°= 180°

θ= 180° - 95°

θ=85°

<u><em>La medida del tercer ángulo interno es 85°.</em></u>

Solve the inequality |x − 6| − 10 &lt; 1 Write the answer as a compound inequality
Tju [1.3M]
|x-6| < 1 + 10 (move 10 to the right side)
|x-6| < 11

1)x-6 < 11 (here x >= 6)
2)-x+6 < 11 (here x < 6)

1)x<17
2)x>-5

so we get -5 < x < 17

the answer: (-5; 17)
