Find the values of the unknown constants for the identities

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 1 and b = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side of the identity

x(ax² - 3x + b) - 3(ax² - 3x + b)

= ax³ - 3x² + bx - 3ax² + 9x - 3b

= ax³ - x²(3 + 3a) + x(b + 9) - 3b

Equate the coefficients of like terms on both sides of the identity

x³ terms → ax³ with x³ ⇒ a = 1

x terms → - x with (b + 9)x ⇒ b + 9 = - 1 ⇒ b = - 10

Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 29% each week. The following function represents
Orlov [11]

Step-by-step answer:

The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in

f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x

The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely

f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)

Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x

we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get

f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x

f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x      since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037

Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function

f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)

1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.

The radius of the cone is 3 in and y = 5 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

  12π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle formed by the radius (r), height (x), and slant height (y) is a 3-4-5 right triangle, with the dimension 4 inches being the perpendicular height from the base to the apex. That is, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...

  r² + x² = y²

  x = √(y² -r²) = √(25 -9) = 4 . . . inches

The formula for the volume of a cone is ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h . . . . . . . . h is the height, what you call x

Your cone has r = 3 in, h = 4 in. Filling in these numbers and simplifying, we get ...

  V = (1/3)π(3 in)²(4 in) = 12π in³

The volume of the cone is 12π cubic inches.

Help ASAP PLEASEEEE help help
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angles of a triangle is 180°

So 180=36+61+(4x-17)

83=(4x-17)

100=4x

x=25
