Eighty-seven decreased by three times a number is greater than one hundred sixty-five

1 answer:

5 0

This is the concept of algebra, we are required to find a number,x, such that 87 decreased by three times a number is great than one hundred and sixty-five.

Supposed the number is x, three times the number will be:
3*x=3x
thus;
87-3x≥165
-3x≥165-87
-3x≥78
dividing both sides by -3 we get:
(-3x)/(-3x)≥78/(-3)
x≤-26
This implies that the number is less than or equal to 26

What shows the correct substitution of the values a,b, and c from the equation 0=-3x^2-2x+6

Arlecino [84]

When dealing with a quadratic equation, you usually assign the following name to the coefficients of the variables:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

So, $a$ is the coefficient of $x^2$ , $b$ is the coefficient of $x$ and $c$ is the constant term.

In your case, the coefficient of $x^2$ is -3, so $a=-3$

The coefficient of $x$ is -2, so $b = -2$

The constant term is 6, so $c = 6$

A partir del término general, calcular los 4 primerostérminos. (Considere que debe asignar

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$4,7,12,19,...$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is:</em></u>

From the general term, calculate the first 4 terms.

(Consider that you must assign values to the variable n)

we have

$b_n=n^2+3$

step 1

Calculate the first term

For n=1

$b_1=(1)^2+3=4$

step 2

Calculate the second term

For n=2

$b_2=(2)^2+3=7$

step 3

Calculate the third term

For n=3

$b_3=(3)^2+3=12$

step 4

Calculate the fourth term

For n=4

$b_4=(4)^2+3=19$

therefore

the first 4 terms are

$4,7,12,19,...$

Ok so the mass of a proton is 0.000000000000000000000000001672622 how do I make this in scientific notation

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

1.7 x 10^-27

Step-by-step explanation

Move the decimal to the right until it's a single digit number, because you are moving it to the right, it would be a negative number. If you are able to round up then please do. Remember to check your significant figures if you're in chemistry.

If f(x) = 2x-4 and g(x) = x2 - 4x, find g(-4) And the (x2 - 4x) the 2 is a exponent

Luden [163]

Evaluate the given function in x=-4.

This is, replace the x in the function for -4 and find the value of g(-4).

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=x^2-4x \\ g(-4)=(-4)^2-4(-4) \\ g(-4)=16+16 \\ g(-4)=32 \end{gathered}$

The value of g(-4) is 32.

Answer: power of a power

Step-by-step explanation:

in the expression (x^4)^9, 4 and 9 are powers. 9 is the power of x^4, so you have to multiply 4 by 9 to get x^36. this means it's a power of a power
