Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-1.2 (3 x - 3) = 4 (3 x + 0.9)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

3.6 - 3.6 x = 4 (3 x + 0.9)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

3.6 - 3.6 x = 12 x + 3.6

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 x from both sides:

3.6 + (-3.6 x - 12 x) = (12 x - 12 x) + 3.6

Hint: | Combine like terms in -3.6 x - 12 x.

-3.6 x - 12 x = -15.6 x:

-15.6 x + 3.6 = (12 x - 12 x) + 3.6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 x - 12 x = 0:

3.6 - 15.6 x = 3.6

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 3.5999999999999996` from both sides:

(3.6 - 3.6) - 15.6 x = 3.6 - 3.6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

3.6 - 3.6 = 0:

-15.6 x = 3.6 - 3.6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

3.6 - 3.6 = 0:

-15.6 x = 0

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -15.6 x = 0 by -15.6:

(-15.6 x)/(-15.6) = 0/(-15.6)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-15.6)/(-15.6) = 1:

x = 0/(-15.6)

Hint: | Zero divided by any non-zero number is zero.

0/(-15.6) = 0:

Answer: x = 0

How to solve this pythagoras theorem
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)

The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)

Using Pythagoras' theorem, then

(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors

16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x²  + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is

16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )

- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term

4x(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Now x > 0, thus x = 4

2x = 2(4) = 8

4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Thus

perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm

Write an exponential function y = ab" whose graph passes through (2,12) and (5,96).
motikmotik

Answer:

y = 3(2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b

Using (2, 12)

12 = ab² → (1)

Using (5, 96)

96 = ab^{5} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ab^5}{ab^2} = \frac{96}{12} , that is

b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2

Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a

12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(2)^{x} ← is the exponential function
