Find the real solution(s) of the equation. Round your answer to two decimal places when appropriate. 5x^6=30

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The real solutions are

$x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution, or root, of an equation is any value or set of values that can be substituted into the equation to make it a true statement.

To find the real solutions of the equation $5x^6=30$ :

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5\\\\\frac{5x^6}{5}=\frac{30}{5}\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^6=6\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^n=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{,\:n\:is\:even,\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)},\:-\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$

Write the equation of the line slope 2, through (3,1)

Arisa [49]

answer:

y = 2x - 5

work:

to write equations, we use the format y = mx + b.

m stands for the slope, and b stands for the y intercept.

this means that you should be able to enter the values for y and x and get a valid equation as a result.

in this equation, we are not given a y intercept value, but we do have a slope and x and y values, so we have to solve by substituting.

so, let's substitute in the values of y and x and the slope,

and solve for b, the y intercept.

1 = 2(3) + b (multiply 2 x 3)

1 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)

- 5 = b

b has a value of -5. let's place this into the equation.

y = 2x - 5.

the slope is 2, and the y intercept is -5, let's plug in our y and x values to verify that this is true.

1 = 2(3) - 5

1 = 6 - 5

1 = 1

so, this equation is correct. hope this helps and have a great day!

A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles. What is the speed in centimeters/minute? You may use the (appr

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Speed = 23809.52 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles.

To find : What is the speed in centimeters/minute

Solution : Formula to find speed is

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Distance traveled = 1500 miles and time taken = 7 days

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

Now, we have to convert miles into centimeter and days into minutes.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour= 60 minute

24 hr= 24×60 minute

1 day = 24×60 minute

7 days = 7×24×60 minute = 10,080 minute

Now, 1 mile = 8/5 km = 1.6 km

1 km= 100000 cm

1.6 km = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1 mile = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1500 miles = 1500×1.6 × 100000 cm = 240,000,000 cm

Put back the values into speed

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{240,000,000 cm}}{\text{10,080 minute}}$

$\text{Speed}=\text{23809.523 cm/minute}$

Therefore, speed = 23809.52 cm/min
