12b - if b = 2 and a = 3
12b = 8a
24 = 24

So D

What is 16 divided by X^2 equals 8 divided by X + 6?

zaharov [31]

Solve: $\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\text{Cross multiply: } 16(x + 6) = 8x^{2}$
$\text{Simplify: } 2(x + 6) = x^{2}$
$\text{Expand: } 2x + 12 = x^{2}$

$\text{Solve for x: } x^{2} - 2x - 12 = 0$

$\text{Use the quadratic equation: } x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 48}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{52}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{13 \cdot 4}}{2}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{13}}{2}$
$\therefore x = 1 \pm \sqrt{13}$

4(-x+4) =12 solve for x

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (-x+4）=12

（-4x+16）=12

-4x+16-16 =12-16

-4x/-4 =-4/-4

x=1

I don't know if this is right, please let me know if it is wrong ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆

How to solve this trig

n200080 [17]

Hi there!

To find the Trigonometric Equation, we have to isolate sin, cos, tan, etc. We are also given the interval [0,2π).

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

What we have to do is to isolate cos first.

$\displaystyle \large{ cos \theta = - \frac{1}{2} }$

Then find the reference angle. As we know cos(π/3) equals 1/2. Therefore π/3 is our reference angle.

Since we know that cos is negative in Q2 and Q3. We will be using π + (ref. angle) for Q3. and π - (ref. angle) for Q2.

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>2</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ \pi - \frac{ \pi}{3} = \frac{3 \pi}{3} - \frac{ \pi}{3} } \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{2 \pi}{3} }$

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

<u> $\displaystyle \large{ \pi + \frac{ \pi}{3} = \frac{3 \pi}{3} + \frac{ \pi}{3} } \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{4 \pi}{3} }$ </u>

Both values are apart of the interval. Hence,

$\displaystyle \large \boxed{ \theta = \frac{2 \pi}{3} , \frac{4 \pi}{3} }$

<u>S</u><u>e</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

Isolate sin(4 theta).

$\displaystyle \large{sin 4 \theta = - \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } }$

Rationalize the denominator.

$\displaystyle \large{sin4 \theta = - \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} }$

The problem here is 4 beside theta. What we are going to do is to expand the interval.

$\displaystyle \large{0 \leqslant \theta < 2 \pi}$

Multiply whole by 4.

$\displaystyle \large{0 \times 4 \leqslant \theta \times 4 < 2 \pi \times 4} \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{0 \leqslant 4 \theta < 8 \pi}$

Then find the reference angle.

We know that sin(π/4) = √2/2. Hence π/4 is our reference angle.

sin is negative in Q3 and Q4. We use π + (ref. angle) for Q3 and 2π - (ref. angle for Q4.)

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

<u> $\displaystyle \large{ \pi + \frac{ \pi}{4} = \frac{ 4 \pi}{4} + \frac{ \pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{5 \pi}{4} }$ </u>

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>4</u>

$\displaystyle \large{2 \pi - \frac{ \pi}{4} = \frac{8 \pi}{4} - \frac{ \pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{7 \pi}{4} }$

Both values are in [0,2π). However, we exceed our interval to < 8π.

We will be using these following:-

$\displaystyle \large{ \theta + 2 \pi k = \theta \: \: \: \: \: \sf{(k \: \: is \: \: integer)}}$

Hence:-

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4} + 2 \pi = \frac{13 \pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4} + 4\pi = \frac{21 \pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4} + 6\pi = \frac{29 \pi}{4} }$

We cannot use any further k-values (or k cannot be 4 or higher) because it'd be +8π and not in the interval.

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>4</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4} + 2 \pi = \frac{15 \pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4} + 4 \pi = \frac{23\pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4} + 6 \pi = \frac{31 \pi}{4} }$

Therefore:-

$\displaystyle \large{4 \theta = \frac{5 \pi}{4} , \frac{7 \pi}{4} , \frac{13\pi}{4} , \frac{21\pi}{4} , \frac{29\pi}{4}, \frac{15 \pi}{4} , \frac{23\pi}{4} , \frac{31\pi}{4} }$

Then we divide all these values by 4.

$\displaystyle \large \boxed{\theta = \frac{5 \pi}{16} , \frac{7 \pi}{16} , \frac{13\pi}{16} , \frac{21\pi}{16} , \frac{29\pi}{16}, \frac{15 \pi}{16} , \frac{23\pi}{16} , \frac{31\pi}{16} }$

Let me know if you have any questions!

Mia can purchase a 40 ounce jar of peanut butter for $5.20 or a 15 once jar for 2.70. how much does mia save per ounce by buying

melomori [17]

Cost per ounce for the 40-ounce peanut butter is
$5.20/40 = $0.13
cost per ounce for the 15-ounce peanut butter is
$2.70 / 15 = $ 0.18
Mia saves 5 cents or $0.05
