0.42 repeating decimal <br><br> rational or irrational

Nana76 [90]

You only have the % and you need the number. For example i got a 87% on my Math test what is that as a decimal? The answer is 0.87 because you move the decimal ahead 2 numbers.

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

blagie [28]

A.
$5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\
5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\
11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\
11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\
x=0$

B.
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\
6x-12=5x-1 \\
\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\
11x=11 \\
\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}$

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\
x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\
x=11$

Given: 1; -5; -13 ; -23 ; ...<br><br> Derive a formula for the nth term in the pattern.

mylen [45]

Answer:

f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the formula is ...

f(n) = an^2 +bn +c

Then we have ...

f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c

f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c

f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c

__

Here's a way to solve these equations.

Subtract the first equation from the second:

-6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation

Subtract the second equation from the third:

-8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation

Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:

-2 = 2a

a = -1

Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...

-6 = 3(-1) +b

-3 = b

and ...

1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation

5 = c

The formula is ...

f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
