According to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements are true?
statuscvo [17]

A, D and E are correct

given ( x - 4 ) is a factor then x =  4 is a root

the remainder on division by (x - 4 ) = 0 as indicated by the 0 on the right side of the quotient

(x - 4 ) is a factor of 3x² - 13x + 4 → A

the number 4is a root of f(x) = 3x² - 13x + 4 → D ( explained above )

thus 3x² - 13x + 4 ÷ (x - 4 ) = 3x - 1 → E

the quotient line 3 - 1 0

3 and - 1 are the coefficients of the linear quotient and 0 is the remainder

Solve for x. 3^x−1=9^x+2 <br> Enter your answer in the box.
slava [35]

Answer:

-5 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)

Replace 9 with 3^2

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

We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied

a^b^c = a^(b*c)

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

When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same

x-1 = 2x+4

Subtract x from each side

x-x-1 =2x-x+4

-1 =x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-1-4 =x+4-4

-1-4 = x

-5 =x

Not sure what to do here can someone please help

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

These equations are solved easily using a graphing calculator. The attachment shows the one solution is x=2.

<h3>Squaring</h3>

The usual way to solve these algebraically is to isolate radicals and square the equation until the radicals go away. Then solve the resulting polynomial. Here, that results in a quadratic with two solutions. One of those is extraneous, as is often the case when this solution method is used.

  \sqrt{x+2}+1=\sqrt{3x+3}\qquad\text{given}\\\\(x+2)+2\sqrt{x+2}+1=3x+3\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\2\sqrt{x+2}=(3x+3)-(x+3)=2x\qquad\text{isolate the root term}\\\\x+2=x^2\qquad\text{divide by 2, square both sides}\\\\x^2-x-2=0\qquad\text{write in standard form}\\\\(x-2)(x+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}

The solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the factors zero: x=2 and x=-1. When we check these in the original equation, we find that x=-1 does not work. It is an extraneous solution.

  x = -1: √(-1+2) +1 = √(3(-1)+3)   ⇒   1+1 = 0 . . . . not true

  x = 2: √(2+2) +1 = √(3(2) +3)   ⇒   2 +1 = 3 . . . . true . . . x = 2 is the solution

<h3>Substitution</h3>

Another way to solve this is using substitution for one of the radicals. We choose ...

  u=\sqrt{x+2}\qquad\text{requires $u\ge0$}\\\\u^2-2=x\qquad\text{solve for x}\\\\u+1=\sqrt{3(u^2-2)+3}\qquad\text{substitute for x in the original equation}\\\\(u+1)^2=3u^2-3\qquad\text{square both sides, simplify a little}\\\\2u^2-2u-4=0\qquad\text{subtract $(u+1)^2$}\\\\2(u-2)(u+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}

Solutions to this equation are ...

  u = 2, u = -1 . . . . . . the above restriction on u mean u=-1 is not a solution

The value of x is ...

  x = u² -2 = 2² -2

  x = 2 . . . . the solution to the equation

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using substitution may be a little more work, as you have to solve for x in terms of the substituted variable. It still requires two squarings: one to find the value of x in terms of u, and another to eliminate the remaining radical. The advantage seems to be that the extraneous solution is made more obvious by the restriction on the value of u.

A plane travels 264 miles in 1.1 hours against the wind. On the return trip, it travels the same 264 miles in 1
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The speed of the wind is 12 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plane travels 264 miles in 1.1 hours with a headwind, the following calculation must be performed to determine its speed:

264 / 1.1 = X

240 = X

Thus, the speed of the plane into the headwind was 240 miles per hour. Now, on the return, with the wind in favor, the route is completed in exactly 1 hour.

Therefore the wind exerts a difference of 24 miles per hour between one trip and another, with which, if it remains stable, its speed is 12 miles per hour (24 / 2).
