Solution of the equation $(x+6)(x+2)=60$ is x=4 and x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation: $(x+6)(x+2)=60$

Solving:

$(x+6)(x+2)=60$

Multiplying terms on the left hand side

$x(x+2)+6(x+2)=60$

$x^2+2x+6x+12=60$

$x^2+8x+12=60$

$x^2+8x+12-60=0$

$x^2+8x-48=0$

Now factorizing:

$x^2+12x-4x-48=0$

$x(x+12)-4(x+12)=0$

$(x-4)(x+12)=0$

$(x-4)=0\,\,and\,\,(x+12)=0$

$x=4\,\,and\,\,x=-12$

So, solution of the equation $(x+6)(x+2)=60$ is x=4 and x=-12

Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc len

Rama09 [41]

The length of a curve C parameterized by a vector function r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j over an interval a ≤ t ≤ b is

$\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

In this case, we have

x(t) = exp(t ) + exp(-t ) ==> dx/dt = exp(t ) - exp(-t )

y(t) = 5 - 2t ==> dy/dt = -2

and [a, b] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}$

Raj gets a 1.5 mile head start and runs at a rate of 4.5 miles per hour. Jacinda's progress is represented by a graph that goes

Alexxandr [17]

From the given ordered pair representing Jacinda's progress, her speed is equal to 10 miles per hour. Letting x be the time it takes for Jacinda to catch up with Raj, the total distance Raj would travel is
1.5 + 4.5x
and Jacinda's total distance is 10x. Mathematically,
1.5 + 4.5x = 10x
The value of x from the equation is 0.27 hours. Therefore, Jacinda needs to run 2.7 miles to catch up with Raj.

I would say A because you would expect that less than half of them are out of state as more then half in the study are in state.

I really need help I’m very confused

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

10: -11n^5

12: 6k^2 -6k+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so what your gonna do is add or subtract the ones with the same exponent.

so -15+4= -11 since they are both n^5 you can add them so your answer is:

-11n^2

now you have 8k^2-k-5k+7-2k. so you are gonna rearrange them so the same exponents are together.(keep the sign in front in front, if no sign it is positive)

8k^2-2k^2-5k-k+7

add like exponents

6k^2-6k+7
