Simplifying x2 + -8x = 20 Reorder the terms: -8x + x2 = 20 Solving -8x + x2 = 20 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -20 + -8x + x2 = 20 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 -20 + -8x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-2 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x = 0 Solving -2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 2 -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-2, 10}

I factored and got:
(x - 10) (x + 2)
so I set each to 0....and got 10 and -2

Can someone help me solve for x in this equation?? 25+3.50x < 17+7.50x
Lelu [443]
So we want to solve like if it was just a basic equation. We start with 25+3.50x<17+7.50x and get rid of our smallest x. That means we get rid of the 3.50x by subtracting from both sides and our new equation is 25<17+4x. Let’s get our x by itself shall we, so let’s subtract 17 from both sides and we get 8<4x. Finally all we do is divide by 4 and just like that 2

Calculate (A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ for the three vectors A⃗ with magnitude A = 5.08 and angle θA = 25.6 ∘ measured in the sense from the +x
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

(A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ = - 76.415

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate (A⃗ ×B⃗ ) :

(A⃗ ×B⃗ ) = A.B.sin (α).n

Where A is the magnitude of A⃗

Where B is the magnitude of B⃗

Where α is the angle between A⃗ and B⃗ = 63.9 - 25.6 = 38.3

Finally n is the vector orthogonal to A⃗ and B⃗

n magnitude is 1 and his direction is given by the right hand-rule

so n = ( 0 , 0 , 1 )

(A⃗ ×B⃗ ) = A.B.sin (α).n = 5.08 . 3.94 . sin (38.3) . (0 , 0 , 1 ) = (0,0,12.4)

C⃗ can be written as C.(0,0,-1) because of his +z - direction

C.(0,0,-1) = 6.16.(0,0,-1) = (0,0,-6.16)

(A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ = (0,0,12.4).(0,0,-6.16) = -76.41480787 = -76.415
