X2 +10x=39 , how do i solve or whats the answer

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.<br><br> 13.48x − 200 < 256.12

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

13.48x − 200 < 256.12

Using the addition property , add 200 to both sides

That's

13.48x + 200 - 200 < 256.12 + 200

13.48x < 456.12

<u>Divide both sides by 13.48</u>

$\frac{13.48x}{13.48} < \frac{456.12}{13.48} \\ x < \frac{456.12}{13.48} \\ \: \: \: x < 33.83679$

We have the final answer as

x < 33.84 to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you

Part A

Answer: The common ratio is -2

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

To get the common ratio r, we divide any term by the previous one

One example:
r = common ratio
r = (second term)/(first term)
r = (-2)/(1)
r = -2

Another example:
r = common ratio
r = (third term)/(second term)
r = (4)/(-2)
r = -2
and we get the same common ratio every time

Side Note: each term is multiplied by -2 to get the next term

============================================================
Part B

Answer:
The rule for the sequence is
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
where n starts at n = 1

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

Recall that any geometric sequence has the nth term
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
where the 'a' on the right side is the first term and r is the common ratio

The first term given to use is a = 1 and the common ratio found in part A above was r = -2
So,
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
a(n) = 1*(-2)^(n-1)
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)

============================================================
Part C

Answer: The next three terms are 16, -32, 64

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

We can simply multiply each previous term by -2 to get the next term. Do this three times to generate the next three terms

-8*(-2) = 16
16*(-2) = -32
-32*(-2) = 64

showing that the next three terms are 16, -32, and 64

An alternative is to use the formula found in part B

Plug in n = 5 to find the fifth term
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(5-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(4)
a(5) = 16 .... which matches with what we got earlier

Then plug in n = 6
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(6-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(5)
a(6) = -32 .... which matches with what we got earlier

Then plug in n = 7
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(7-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(6)
a(7) = 64 .... which matches with what we got earlier

while the second method takes a bit more work, its handy for when you want to find terms beyond the given sequence (eg: the 28th term)

Some of Mrs. Turay’s eighth graders took the PSAT test. Score totals of ten of her students are below. Calculate the mean and th

den301095 [7]

Answer:

(a) Mean=74

(b) Median=70

(c) The best measure of center= Median.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a data set of PSAT scores of Mrs. Turay's eight graders. We are asked to find mean and median of the given data set.

(a) Let us find mean of data set by dividing the sum of given scores by the number of students.

$\text{Mean}=\frac{60+62+67+69+70+70+71+75+76+120}{10}$

$\text{Mean}=\frac{740}{10}=74$

Therefore, the mean test score will be 74.

(b) Now let us find median of our given data set. We have been given that number of students is 10, therefore, our median will be the average of 5th and 6th term.

60, 62, 67, 69, 70, 70, 71, 75, 76, 120.

We can see that 5th term is 70 and 6th term is 70 as well.

$\text{Median}=\frac{70+70}{2}$

$\text{Median}=\frac{140}{2}$

$\text{Median}=70$

Therefore, the median test scores will be 70.

(c) We can see that our data set has an outlier score as 120, which has increased the mean. Mean score is greater than median score. Since median is not affected by extreme value outliers, therefore, median will be the best measure of center for given test scores.

Abigail is 8 years older than Cynthia.Twenty years ago Abigail was three times as old as Cynthia.How old is each now?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Let
C=Cynthia's age today
A=Abigail's age today

then
at all times
A=C+8......................(1)
twenty years ago,
A-20=3(C-20)
simplifying
A=3C-40...................(2)

Equate (1) and (2),
C+8=3C-40
8+40=3C-C
C=24
=>
A=32

Check: A-C=8... ok A-20=12 C-20=4 => (A-20)=3(C-20) ...ok

Answer:
Abigail is 32, Cynthia is 24.
