Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x \ = \ 11 \ or \ x \ = \ -11}}$

Explanation:

$\bold{x(x \ - \ 1) \ = \ 121 \ - \ x}$

Simplify both sides of the equation

x² − x = −x + 121

Add x to both sides

x² − x + x = −x + 121 + x

x² = 121

Take square root

x = ± √121

x = 11 or x = −11

Answer:

$x=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x(x-1)=121-x\\\\x^2-x=121-x\\\\x^2=121\\\\x=\sqrt{121}\\\\x=11$

PLEASE HELP: The mass of a ball is 128 g. It has a density of 0.5 g/cm³. What is the volume of the ball? Show your work and plac

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the ball is 256 cm³

Part 2) The radius of the ball is 3.94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The density is equal to divide the mass by the volume

D=m/V

Solve for the volume

The volume is equal to divide the mass by the density

V=m/D

In this problem we have

m=128 g

D=0.5 g/cm³

substitute

V=128/0.5=256 cm³

Part 2) what is the radius of the ball?

we know that

The volume of the sphere (ball) is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

we have

$V=256\ cm^{3}$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute and solve for r

$256=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)r^{3}$

$768=(12.56)r^{3}$

$r^{3}=768/(12.56)$

$r=3.94\ cm$

Equation of the line contains the points (-3,2) and (5,-5)

makkiz [27]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5, -5)$

So the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-5-2} {5 - (- 3)} = \frac {-7} {5 + 3} = - \frac {7} {8}$

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

$2 = - \frac {7} {8} (- 3) + b\\2 = \frac {21} {8} + b\\b = 2- \frac {21} {8}\\b = \frac {16-21} {8}\\b = - \frac {5} {8}$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}$

Answer:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}$
