Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let B be between A and C.

AB = 3x + 5

BC = 5x - 1

AC = 36

To Find:

x=?

Solution:

B be between A and C as shown in Figure

A-B-C such that

AC=AB+BC           ...........Line Addition Property

Substituting the given values we get

36=3x+5+5x-1=8x+4\\\\\therefore 8x=36-4=32\\\\\therefore x=\dfrac{32}{8}=4\\\\\therefore x=4

The value of x is 4.

Make a the subject of: b=(a-3)²
natka813 [3]

\sqrt{b+3}=a

b = (a - 3)²

Our aim is to get <u><em>a</em></u> to be alone

1) First we get rid of what's in the brackets. So we subtracts each side by 3. Of course, the opposite of subtracting is adding:

b+3 = a²

2) Now we get rid of the squared in a. Opposite of squaring is square rooting.

\sqrt{b+3} =a

3) There we have it. a is now by itself. We can test if we're right by substituting.

Lets make a=2

b=(a-3)²

b= (2-3)²

b= 1

NOW:

\sqrt{b+3} =a

\sqrt{1+3} =2

Calculate the double integral. (30x2y3 − 25y4) da, r = {(x, y) | 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1} r
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate the double integral,

\int \int _R (30x^2y^3-25y^4)dA

where R is the rectangular region bounded by R={(x, y) | 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1}

We apply the limits to obtain;

\int_0^1 \int _0^1 (30x^2y^3-25y^4)dxdy

We evaluate the inner integral by integrating with respect to x whiles treating y as a constant.

\int_0^1 (10x^3y^3-25y^4x)_0^1dy

This gives us,

\int_0^1 (10y^3-25y^4)dy

We evaluate the resulting integral now to obtain;

10(\frac{y^4}{4})-25(\frac{y^5}{5})|_0^1

2.5y^4-5y^5|_0^1=2.5-5=-2.5

Simultaneous equation
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(55/38,-16/19)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -5y = 10

2x + 7y = -3

4x -5y = 10

-4x -14y = 6

-19y = 16

y = -16/19

2x  -112/19 = -57/19

x = 55/38

Find the factorization of the polynomial below . 64x^2 +48x+9
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

(8x+3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial has perfect squares on wither end of the expression including 64 and 9. This means it is likely factoring to (8x +3)². TO check this we will multiply it out.

(8x+3)(8x+3) = 64x² + 24x + 24x + 9 = 64x² + 48x + 9
