Find x^3- 2y^2- 3x^3+ z^4 if x = 3, y = 5, and z = -3

What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below? 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

y=n^2+3n+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence,S: 8,14,22,32 ,44, 58, 74...

First differences of S: 6,8,10,12,14,16,...

Second differences of S: 2,2,2,2,2,2,....

It is indeed a quadratic since the 1st differences that are the same are the second differences.

So the 1st term is 8. If the 0th term was listes it would be 4 since 8-4=4 and 6-4=2.

This means our quadratic it is in the form

y=an^2+bn+c where c=4.

So we have y=an^2+bn+4.

Now we can find a and b using two points from our sequence to form a system of equations to solve.

(1,8) gives us 8=a(1)^2+b(1)+4

Simplifying gives 8=a+b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives: 4=a+b

(2,14) gives us 14=a(2)^2+b(2)+4

Simplifying gives 14=4a+2b+4

Subtracting 4 on both sides gives 10=4a+2b

So we have the following system to solve:

4=a+b

10=4a+2b

I'm going to solve using elimination/linear combination style.

Dividing second equation by 2 gives the system as:

4=a+b

5=2a+b

Subtract the 2nd equation from the first gives:

-1=-1a

This implies a=1 since -1=-1(1) is true.

If a+b=4 and a=1, then b=3. Because 3+1=4.

So the equation is y=1n^2+3n+4 or y=n^2+3n+4.

Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation. 0.3(8.2 x 10^-3)

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3(8.2 x 10^-3) = 2.46 X 10 ^ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation 0.3(8.2 x 10^-3) and write answer in scientific notation.

Solving,

= 0.3(8.2 x 10^-3)

= 0.3 * 0.0082

= 0.00246

Writing in scientific notation

= 2.46 X 10 ^ -3

So, after solving the expression 0.3(8.2 x 10^-3) the result is 2.46 X 10 ^ -3.

the length of one leg of a right triangle is 6 feet. the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg. Find the le

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

TEA [102]

Answer:

y= -2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).

Let's find the gradient of the given line.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 -y 2}{x1 - x2} }$

Gradient of given line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 5)}{3 - ( - 9)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{3 + 9}$

$= \frac{6}{12}$

$= \frac{1}{2}$

The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector

= -1 ÷(½)

= -1(2)

= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}) }$

Midpoint of given line

$= ( \frac{3 - 9}{2} , \frac{1 - 5}{2} )$

$= ( \frac{ - 6}{2} , \frac{ - 4}{2} )$

$= ( - 3 , - 2)$

Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:

-2= -2(-3) +c

-2= 6 +c

c= -2 -6 (-6 on both sides)

c= -8

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.

Help please, an explanation would be greatly appricatated.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

In both questions you want to get the x alone.

1.

-3x + (-6) = 9

First you want to add 6 to both sides so you'll be left with:

-3x = 15

Next, you want to divide both sides by -3 and you'll get:

x = -5

2.

-4x + (-12) = 8

You want to do the same thing as the first one so you'll add 12 to both sides:

-4x = 20

Then, you will divide both sides by -4 and get:

x = -5
