The equation 2x + 4k − 9 = kx − k + 1 is really a family of equations, because for each value of k, we get a different equation

with the unknown x. the letter k is called a parameter for this family. what value should we pick for k to make the given value of x a solution of the resulting equation? (if all real numbers are solutions, enter reals.)

You haven't shared "the given value of x," or, if you have, you haven't drawn attention to it.

Just suppose we were to choose x = 4 as a possible solution and then try to find a value of the parameter k that would make x = 4 an actual solution.

2(4) + 4k - 9 = (4)(4) - (4) + 1

Then 8 + 4k - 9 = 16 - 4 + 1, or       4k - 1 = 13.  Then 4k = 14, and k = 14/4, or (after reduction)  k = 7/2   

If the parameter k equals 7/2, then x = 4 is a solution to the given equation.

To check this out further, start with the proposed solution x = 5 and find k.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(A)The area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle.

(C)The value of x must be greater than 4

(E)The area of the rectangle is (x^2-4x) \:Square \:Units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Square has side lengths of (x - 2) units.

Area of the Square

(x-2)^2=(x-2)(x-2)=x^2-2x-2x+4\\=(x^2-4x+4) \:Square \:Units

The rectangle has a length of x units and a width of  (x - 4) units.

Area of the Rectangle =x(x-4)=(x^2-4x) \:Square \:Units

<u>The following statements are true:</u>

(A)The area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle.

This is because the area of the square is an addition of 4 to the area of the rectangle.

(C)The value of x must be greater than 4

If x is less than or equal to 4, the area of the rectangle will be negative or zero.

(E)The area of the rectangle is (x^2-4x) \:Square \:Units

How do you find the solution

Given that there were 30 bacteria present originally.
a=30
Also given that the number doubles every one hour.
After one hour the count =2×30=60
Since the count doubles every hour it forms a G.P. with r=2
a,ar,ar2........
The count at the end of 2nd hour=ar^2=30×2^2=120
The count at the end of 4th hour=ar^4=30×2^4=480
The count at the end of 8th hour=ar^8n=30×2^8=7680
etc.
The count at the end of n^th hour=ar^n=30×2^n

Also, the equation y=30*(2)^8/1 give the same result y= 7680

Please help! I don't really understand this.
ch4aika [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

11.

Area of rectangle = 408 in²

Length = 3x-2 and width = x

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

(3x-2)x = 408

x = 12 inch and x = -11.33 in

Neglecting negative value,

The width of rectangle = 12 inch

The length of rectangle = 3x-2 = 3(12)-2 = 34 inch

12.

Base of triangle = 2x+2

Height = x

The area of a triangle is given by :

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh\\\\600=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2x+2)x\\\\600=(x+1)x

x = 24 cm and x = -25 cm

Neglecting negative value, x = 24 cm

Base = 2x+2 = 2(24)+2 = 50 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.
