Solve for a 9a² = 16a College Intermediate Algebra

Mathematics

Fed [463]3 years ago
7 0

We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.

Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.

9a² = 16a

9a² - 16a = 0                <-----subtract 16a from both sides

a (9a - 16) = 0               <-----factor the common a on the left side

a = 0   OR   9a - 16 =0   <----apply Zero Product Property

Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.

9a - 16 = 0

9a = 16                        <----------- add 16 to both sides

a = 16/9                       <----------- divide both sides by 9


Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9

He Earth completely rotates on its axis once every 24 hours.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A)

58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

84.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation ( 24 hours) the earth will rotate through  360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In one day or 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 290 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 290 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/290)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 290 = 58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it will takes the Earth to rotate through 7π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 7π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/7π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*7π radians = 84 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles

A line passes through the points (1, 4) and (3, –4). Which is the equation of the line? y = negative 4 x + 8 y = –2x + 6 y = neg
Kruka [31]

Answer:

y = -4x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is written in slope-intercept form : y = mx+b

m is the slope

We are given two points, so let's find the slope of the line first:

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = 4 - (-4) / 1 - 3 = 8 / -2 = -4

The slope is -4

So far, our equation is y = -4x + b

We can input a point's x and y value to find b, the y-intercept

Let's use point (1, 4)

4 = -4(1) + b

4 = -4 + b

b = 4 + 4

b = 8

The equation is y = -4x + 8

Pls help meh
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

7.1 (7.06 rounded to the tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Area of a Circle is: π·r²

R = Radius

π = pi, or 3.14

As long as you know the formula, this is easy!

In class, you may have already been told that the radius is <em>half </em>of the diameter.

1. Half of 3 ft is 1.5 ft.

2. Plug 1.5 in for r, in your calculator

3. Do the calculation, and you should come out to get 7.06858347058

4. Round it!

Finding area for a circle is satisfying, isn't it? xD
