6x-7 = 2x+3

 add 7 to each side

= 6x = 2x+10

 subtract 2x from each side

4x=10

divide both sides by 4

 x = 10/4 = 5/2

6(5/2)-7 = 8

8*2 = 16

 JK is 16

If M is the midpoint of JK then JM+MK=JK and JM=MK
so
6x-7=2x+3
minus 2x both sides
4x-7=3
add 7 both sides
4x=10
divide both sides by 4
x=\frac{10}{4}
x=\frac{5}{2}

sub back

JM=6x-7
JM=6(\frac{5}{2})-7
JM=\frac{30}{2}-7
JM=15-7
JM=8

JM=MK=8
JM+MK=8+8=16=JK

x=\frac{5}{2} and JM=8=MK and JK=16

. The two bottles are similar in shape. The larger bottle holds 100 m/ of perfume. Calculate how many millilitres of perfume the
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The smaller bottle holds 12.5 ml of perfume.

====================

<h2>Given</h2>

  • Two bottles of similar shape;
  • Larger bottle has volume of 100 ml;
  • The length of larger bottle is 10 cm;
  • The length of smaller bottle is 5 cm.

<h2>To find </h2>

  • The volume of smaller bottle.

<h2>Solution</h2>

Find the scale factor, the ratio of corresponding dimensions:

  • k = 5/10 = 1/2

We know the volume is the function of three dimensions, therefore the ratio of volumes is the cube of the scale factor:

  • V_{small}/V_{large} = k^3\\

Substitute the known values and find the volume of small bottle:

  • V_{small}/100= (1/2)^3\\
  • V_{small}/100= 1/8
  • V_{small}= 1/8*100=12.5

The smaller bottle holds 12.5 ml of perfume.

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 32,000 cm3. find the dimensions of the box that mini- mize the amoun
zmey [24]
Alrighty


squaer base so length=width, nice


v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h

and volume is 32000
32000=w²h


the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW

alrighty

we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H

we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute

SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W

take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?

0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W

so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H

the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm

<u>Question 8</u>

a^2 + 7a + 12

= (a+3)(a+4)

When factorising a quadratic, the product of the two factors should equal the constant term (12), and the sum of the two factors should equal the linear term (7). To find the two factors, list out the factors of 12 (1x12, 2x6, 3x4) and identify the pair that adds up to 7 (3+4).

An alternative method if you get stuck during your exam would be to solve it algebraically using the quadratic formula and then write it in the factorised form.

a = (-7 +or- sqrt(7^2 - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1)

= (-7 +or- sqrt(1))/2

= -3 or -4

These factors are the negative of the values that would go in the brackets when written in factorised form, as when a = -3 the factor (a+3) would equal 0. (If it were positive 3 instead, then in the factorised form it would be a-3).

<u>Question 10</u>

-3(x - y)/9 + (4x - 7y)/2 - (x + y)/18

Rewrite each fraction with a common denominator so you can combine the fractions into one.

= -6(x - y)/18 + 9(4x - 7y)/18 - (x + y)/18

= (-6(x - y) + 9(4x - 7y) - (x + y)) /18

Expand the brackets and collect like terms.

= (-6x + 6y + 36x - 63y - x - y)/18

= (29x - 58y)/18

= 29/18 x - 29/9 y
