A sports company conducted a road test of a new model of a geared bike. The test rider cycled (3x − 2) miles on a flat road, (x2

− 5) miles uphill, and (2x + 7) miles downhill. Which simplified expression is equivalent to the total distance, in miles, for which the bike was tested?

Answer:  The total distance for which the bike was tested is (x^2+5x)~\textup{miles}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a sports company conducted a road test of a new model of a geared bike.

The test rider cycled (3x-2) miles on a flat road, (x^2-5) miles uphill and (2x+7) miles downhill.

We are to find the simplified expression that is equivalent to the total distance, in miles, for which the bike was tested.

The total distance for which the bike was tested is given by

D\\\\=(3x-2)+(x^2-5)+(2x+7)\\\\=3x-2+x^2-5+2x+7\\\\=x^2+5x.

Thus, the total distance for which the bike was tested is (x^2+5x)~\textup{miles}.

It would start like this:
(3x-2) + (2x - 5) + (2x+7)
= 7x
Sorry if it's wrong...

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

cos x cot x + sin x

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

If we use this definition we got:

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

Now we can use the following identity:

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Select all of the potential solution(s) of the equation 2log5x = log54.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

x = ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us , which is ,

\longrightarrow 2log_5(x) = log_5 4

From <u>properties </u><u>of </u><u>logarithm </u>we know that ,

\longrightarrow alog\ m = log \ m^a

Applying this to LHS , we have ;

\longrightarrow log_5 x^2 = log_5 4

Now the bases of logarithm on LHS and RHS is same . On comparing , we have ;

\longrightarrow x^2 = 4

Put square root on both sides,

\longrightarrow x =\sqrt{4}

Simplify ,

\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ x =\pm 2 }}

This is the required answer.

A sample of gold has a mass of 579 g. The volume of the sample is 30 cm3. What is the density of the gold sample?
Ugo [173]

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Let the mass of the gold sample be represented by m

m = 579 g

Let the volume of the gold sample be represented by V

V = 30 cm³

Let the density of the gold sample be represented by ρ

The formula for the density is:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \\\rho = \frac{579}{30} \\\rho = 19.3 g/cm^3

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Answer: The fourth term is -102

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The term after the nth term is generated by this rule  a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2 which means that we first
Step 1) multiply the nth term ( a_n ) by -4
Step 2) Add the result of step 1 to the value 2 to get the next term in the sequence

Let's follow those steps above to generate the first four terms

The first term is a_1 = 2. In short, the first term is 2

The second term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{1+1} = -4(a_1) + 2
a_{2} = -4(2) + 2
a_{2} = -8 + 2
a_{2} = -6
So the second term is -6

The third term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{2+1} = -4(a_2) + 2
a_{3} = -4(-6) + 2
a_{3} = 24 + 2
a_{3} = 26
The third term is 26

Finally, the fourth term is...
a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2
a_{3+1} = -4(a_3) + 2
a_{4} = -4(26) + 2
a_{4} = -104 + 2
a_{4} = -102
The fourth term is -102.
