Answer:

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables):

14 = -2C - 3C - 6

14 = (-2C - 3C) - 6

14 = (-5C) - 6

Isolate the variable, C. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents & Roots

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

First, add 6 to both sides:

14 (+6) = -5C - 6 (+6)

14 + 6 = -5C

-5C = 20

Next, divide -5 from both sides:

(-5C)/-5 = (20)/-5

C = 20/-5

C = -4

-4 is your value for C.

Answer:

-4 =C

Step-by-step explanation:

14 = -2C - 6 – 3C

Combine like terms

14 = -5C - 6

Add 6 to each side

14+6 = -5C -6+6

20 = -5C

Divide each side by -5

20/-5 = -5C/-5

-4 =C

1 ⩽x ⩽ 5, for √(x³ + 36 )

alexandr402 [8]

$\bf ~\hspace{10em}1\le x\le 5~\hspace{5em}\sqrt{x^3+36}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\sqrt{x^3+36}\implies \sqrt{x^{2+1}6^2}\implies \sqrt{x^2x6^2}\implies \sqrt{(6x)^2x}\implies 6x\sqrt{x}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{x = 4}}{6(4)\sqrt{4}}\implies 24\sqrt{2^2}\implies 24\cdot 2\implies 48$

that's how I read it.... to get some value between 1 and 5, namely 4, to make the expression a rational, well, 48 can be expressed as 48/1.

12 Feet is the depth of the pond. I am just guessing but i think that is it.

A circle centered at the origin contains the point (0,-9). Does (8, sqr 17) also lie on the circle?

Reptile [31]

Check the picture below.

since the circle is centered at the (0,0) origin, and a point on it is at (0, -9), its radius is simple the distance between those two, or r = 9.

if the second point is also on the circle, it must also be 9 units away from the origin.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\sqrt{17}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(\sqrt{17}-0)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{8^2+(\sqrt{17})^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{64+17}\implies d=\sqrt{81}\implies d=9~~\textit{\Large \checkmark}$
