Solve the equation. Show your work. 8x – 12 = 4x + 24

2 answers:

5 0

To find the value of x, we may add 12 to both sides of the equation and subtract 4x from the answer.
8x - 12 + 12 = 4x + 24 + 12
8x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 36
4x = 36
Divide both left hand and right hand side of the equation by 4 to give an answer of x = 9.

Remember y ou can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

get 1x by itself

8x-12=4x+24
add 12 to both sides
8x=4x+36
minus 4x from both sides
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9

What is the largest number? -1.2, -1.1, -2.2, -1.8

RSB [31]

Answer:

-1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of negative numbers, the farther you are from 0, the smaller the number. So -1.1 is the biggest number of the four

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$

From this form,

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

Differentiate y = 8x/ 3 − tan(x)

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{8(xsec^2(x)-tan(x)+3)}{(3-tan(x))^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\frac{8x}{3-tan(x)}\\ \\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(3-tan(x))(\frac{d}{dx}8x)-(\frac{d}{dx}(3-tan(x)))(8x)}{(3-tan(x))^2}\\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(3-tan(x))(8)-(-sec^2(x))(8x)}{(3-tan(x))^2}\\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{24-8tan(x)+8xsec^2(x)}{(3-tan(x))^2}\\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{8xsec^2(x)-8tan(x)+24}{(3-tan(x))^2}\\\\ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{8(xsec^2(x)-tan(x)+3)}{(3-tan(x))^2}$
