Tom [10]3 years ago

First, we have to isolate the t, or keep it by itself, to solve. To do that, we need to move everything with t in it to on side.

-5 - 2t + 2t = 3t + 2t

The -2t and + 2t cross out, leaving us with t on one side, which is exactly what we want!

-5 = 5t

But t isn't alone yet. We need to get rid of its five. To do that, we need to use the same process: use the opposite symbol. In 5t, 5 is being multiplied by t. To get rid of, we need to divide 5. BUT the mega rule in algebra... what you do to one side you must do to the other, or else the equation would not be true anymore, so...

-5/5 = 5t/5

-1 = t

There's your answer! Hope this helps!

T is equal to -1.
  1. <em>Add 2t to both sides of the equation.</em> -5 = 5t
  2. <em>Divide both sides of the equation by -5.</em> 1 = -t
  3. <em>Multiply both sides of the equation by -1.</em> -1 = t

Any number times 1 is the number itself so 1 times 4/7 is 4/7 and 1 times 4/5 is 4/5

How to divide 18 into 1/3
Kamila [148]
First you want to set this into a fraction, so it would be 18/1 because every number has an imaginery one underneath it. then when you divide a fraction you multiply by the reciprical(the opposite) so it would be 18/1 times 3/1 then you can simply cross mutiply and divide, which you can't so then you simply take 18 times 3 which is 108/1 then you divide 108 divided by 1 which is 108, your answer is 108

1. Find the zeros of the function.
Mama L [17]
1. f(x) = 9x² + 6x - 8
f(x) = (3x - 2)(3x + 4)
When  (3x - 2) = 0, then x = 2/3
When (3x + 4) = 0, then x = -4/3

Answer: The zeros are two divided by three and negative four divided by three.

2. f(x) = 9x³ - 45x² + 36x
  f(x) = 9x(x² - 5x + 4)
        = 9x(x - 1)(x - 4)
  When 9x = 0, then x = 0
  When (x-1) = 0, then x = 1
  When (x-4) = 0, then x = 4

 Answer: 0, 1 and 4

3. f(x) = 4(x+7)²(x-7)³
 When (x+7)² = 0, then x = -7 (twice)
 When (x-7)³ = 0, then x = 7 (thrice)

 Answer: 7, multiplicity 2; -7 multiplicity 3

4. The zeros of f(x) are √5, -√5, -7
 The factors of f(x) are (x-√5)(x+√5)(x+7)
 Note that (x-√5)(x+√5) = x² - (√5)² = x² - 5
 f(x) = (x²-5)(x+7)
       = x³ + 7x² - 5x - 35

Answer: f(x) = x³ + 7x² - 5x - 35

5. Expand (2x + 4)³
 From Pascal's Triangle, the coefficients are 1 3 3 1
 Therefore
 (2x + 4)³ = 1(2x)³(4)⁰ + 3(2x)²(4)¹ + 3(2x)¹(4)² + 1(2x)⁰(4)³
                = 8x³ + 48x² + 96x + 64

 Answer: 8x³ + 48x² + 96x + 64
