Make the fractions improper to multiply.2 1/5 becomes 11/5 and 1 3/4 becomes 7/4. multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. you get 77/20, which is simplest form. don't let teachers feed you that bs about it having to be a mixed number. an improper fraction is way more useful.
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
We must solve the quadratic equation to find the values of x that satisfy equality
Subtract 24 on both sides of equality
Now we factor the quadratic equation
Identify two numbers that when you add them you get as a result 2 and when you multiply them you get as a result -24
The numbers sought are: 6 and -4
So the factors are:
Finally note that the solutions are:
and
Answer:
x = pi/2 + 2 pi n x = pi + 2 pi n where n is an integer
x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n
Step-by-step explanation:
8 cos^2 x + 4 cos x-4 = 0
Divide by 4
2 cos^2 x + cos x-1 = 0
Let u = cos x
2 u^2 +u -1 =0
Factor
(2u -1) ( u+1) = 0
Using the zero product property
2u-1 =0 u+1 =0
u = 1/2 u = -1
Substitute cosx for u
cos x = 1/2 cos x = -1
Take the inverse cos on each side
cos ^-1(cos x) = cos ^-1(1/2) cos ^-1( cos x) =cos ^-1( -1)
x = pi/2 + 2 pi n x = pi + 2 pi n where n is an integer
x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x
NOTE: You can only add/subtract LIKE terms . Here we have variable terms in x (13x , 17x and x) and 2 constants ( 5 and 4.5).
Sarah's next line is
18x + 17x - 4.5 + x
This is incorrect . It looks like she added 13x + 5 and got 18x!! Which is of course wrong because they are NOT LIKE terms. 5 is a constant and 13x is a variable term in x.
The third line is correct:-
35x - 4.5 + x.
She has added the 2 variables 17x and 18x.
Fourth line is 30.5x + x. She's at it again - Trying to subtract 4.5 from 35x .
Last line 31.5x
She has added the 2 terms in x correctly, but the final answer is wrong of course due to the earlier errors.
