Compute a value for y that satisfies the equation below. -3y - 12 = -4

1 answer:

lesantik [10]3 years ago

First, add 12 to both sides of the equation,
-3y - 12 + 12 = -4 + 12
-3y = 8
Then, divide both the left hand and right hand sides of the equation by -3
(-3y) / -3 = 8/-3
The value of y is therefore,
y = -8/3

Find all real solutions to the equation (x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; $x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ; $x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Relation given in the question:

(x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0

Now,

for the above relation to be true the following condition must be followed:

Either (x² − 6x +3) = 0 ............(1)

or

(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0 ..........(2)

now considering the equation (1)

(x² − 6x +3) = 0

the roots can be found out as:

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0

thus,

the roots are

$x = \frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\times1\times(3)}}{2\times(1)}$

or

$x = \frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-12}}{2}$

or

$x = \frac{6+\sqrt{24}}{2}$ and, x = $x = \frac{6-\sqrt{24}}{2}$

or

$x = \frac{6+2\sqrt{6}}{2}$ and, x = $x = \frac{6-2\sqrt{6}}{2}$

or

x = 3 + √6 and x = 3 - √6

similarly for (2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.

we have

the roots are

$x = \frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times2\times(-7)}}{2\times(2)}$

or

$x = \frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+56}}{4}$

or

$x = \frac{4+\sqrt{72}}{4}$ and, x = $x = \frac{4-\sqrt{72}}{4}$

or

$x = \frac{4+\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{2}$ and, x = $x = \frac{4-\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{4}$

or

$x = \frac{4+(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and, x = $x = \frac{4-(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{4}$

or

$x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and, $x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Hence, the possible roots are

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; $x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ; $x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}$

What is the cross-sectional area of a cement pipe 2 in. thick with an inner diameter of 5 ft? Use pie 3.14.

Paul [167]

Answer:

1.60 $ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that this is a cylindrical pipe, the area can be determined by applying the formula for calculating the area of a circle.

i.e Area = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

So that,

for the inner part of the pipe,

r = $\frac{diameter}{2}$

= $\frac{5}{2}$

= 2.5 feet

Area of the inner part of the pipe = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

= 3.14 x $(2.5)^{2}$

= 19.625

Are of the inner part of the pipe is 19.63 $ft^{2}$ .

Total diameter of the pipe = 5 + 0.2

= 5.2 feet

r = $\frac{5.2}{2}$

= 2.6 feet

Area of the pipe = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

= 3.14 x $(2.6)^{2}$

= 21.2264

Area of the pipe is 21.23 $ft^{2}$ .

Thus the cross sectional area = Area of the pipe - Area of the inner part of the pipe

= 21.2264 - 19.625

= 1.6014

The cross sectional area of the cement pipe is 1.60 $ft^{2}$ .

Answer:

We conclude that the simplified expression is:

$0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.7l+0.2s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)$

Apply the distributive law: a(b+c) = ab+ac

a = 0.1, b = 7l, c = 2s

$0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.1\cdot \:7l+0.1\cdot \:2s$

$=7\cdot \:0.1l+2\cdot \:0.1s$

$=0.7l+0.2s$

Therefore, we conclude that the simplified expression is:

$0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.7l+0.2s$
