In order to find what x equals, we need to make it so x is on one side and what it equals, on the other.
First of all, we subtract 10 from both sides. You will now have:
x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 10 = 0
You will now either factor it which is recommended or use the Cubic Formula which is pretty difficult to memorize and to solve. I will now factor it.
( x - 5) ( x^2 + 2 ) = 0
You can now take both of the expressions inside and make them equal to zero and solve them.
x - 5 = 0x = 5
x^2 + 2 = 0x^2 = -2
x <span>≈</span> 1.41421356i
The second option is irrational and uses an imaginary number which you will start seeing in Alegbra II (or already have if you are taking it or have already passed it), so the first one which is 5, is the correct answer.
Answer: 5
Answer:
π(3 in)²(10 in) -8(4/3)(1.5 in)³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 10 inches is ...
V = πr²h = π(3 in)²(10 in)
The volume of 8 spheres with a radius of 1.5 inches is ...
V = 8(4/3)πr³ = 8(4/3)π(1.5 in)³
The volume occupied by the water is the volume of the cylinder not occupied by the spheres. So, it is ...
V = π(3 in)²(10 in) -8(4/3)(1.5 in)³ . . . . . . matches the 4th choice
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 3; b = -2
a - b = 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5
The answer to that would be 1 7/12
Answer:
n = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 7n to both sides.
-5n + 7n - 12 = 2n - 12.
-7n + 7n + 28 = 28.
Now the equation is 2n - 12 = 28.
Add 12 to both sides to isolate the variable.
2n - 12 + 12 = 2n.
28 + 12 = 40.
Now the equation is 2n = 40. Divide both sides by 2.
n = 20.
