Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>Part A</em>: Explain why x = 5 makes 4x - 1 ≤ 19 true but not 4x - 1 < 19
<em>Part B: x=9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>: Because the first one is less than or equal to 19 and the other is just less than.
x = 5
TRUE: 4x - 1 ≤ 19 = 20-1 ≤ 19 = 19 ≤ 19
19 is less than or equal to 19 so its true
FALSE: 4x - 1 < 19 = 19 < 19
19 is not greater than 19
<u>Part B:</u>
5x + 2 = 47 subtract 2 from both sides
5x = 45 divide both sides by 5
x = 9
To check we can plug it back in
5x + 2 = 47
5(9) + 2 = 47
45 + 2 = 47
47 = 47
TRUE
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
It is the only constant in the equation, 120.
_____
The proportionality is to the inverse of the square of d.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
5
The equation given is

where a is some number.
We can solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.
Now let's think through what happens for various values of a.
TWO SOLUTIONS
If a is a positive number the above yields two solutions. Take for example:

There will be two solutions (one positive and one negative) as there are two numbers (here -7 and +7) that when multiplied by themselves give 49. That is,

and

. The positive root is called the principal root and the negative root is called the secondary root. This will be the case anytime we take the root of a positive number.
ONE SOLUTION
If a = 0 there is only one solution. That is because

and

. Zero is neither positive nor negative and it has only one root which is 0 itself. So in this case there is only one solution and it is 0.
NO (REAL) SOLUTIONS
If a is negative we would be taking the square root of a negative number. There is no (real) number that when multiplied by itself gives a negative number. Take for example

which gives us

. The square root of -49 is not 7 because (7)(7)=49 which is positive. The square root of -49 is not -7 because (-7)(-7)=49 which is also positive. There is no real number that gives -49 when multiplied by itself. I say "real" numbers because there do exist imaginary/complex numbers but because of the way the questions was asked I imagine you may not know about these yet.
