Answer:

Jake's error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} -6x+5=0

Complete the square

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2} -6x=-5

step 2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9

x^{2} -6x+9=4

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-3)^{2}=4

Jake's error in step 3

He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side

step 4

take square root both sides

\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =\sqrt{4}

step 5

(x-3)=\pm2

step 6

x=3\pm2

step 7

x=5 and x=1

What’s the amplitude and the period of this function?
Iteru [2.4K]

The amplitude and the period of the function are 3 and 2, respectively.

<h3>What are the amplitude and the period of a sinusoidal function?</h3>

Sinusoidal functions are periodic bounded functions whose form is described below:

y = A · sin (2π · t / T + Ф) + y'

Where:

  • y' - Midpoint
  • A - Amplitude
  • t - Time
  • Ф - Phase
  • T - Period

The period is the horizontal distance between two consecutive peaks or two consecutive bottoms and the amplitude is equal to the half of the distance between a peak and a consecutive bottom. Hence, the amplitude and the period are, respectively:

Amplitude

A = 0.5 · [2 - (- 4)]

A = 3

Period

T = 2 · [0.75 - (- 0.25)]

T = 2

Find the 84th term of the arithmetic sequence -5,15,35, ...
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The 84th term of the arithmetic sequence -5,15,35, ... is 1675.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence -5,15,35, ... increases by 20 per term. Add 20 to the prior term to find the new term. Do this 83 times from -5, and you reach 1675.

Number 7! Help!! Please?
ELEN [110]
No. You have to calculate the unit rate by dividing 30 and 6 which is 5. Then 40 divided by 18 which is 2.22 repeating. since they don't equal the same thing, it is false.

Carl used 24 blocks to build a tower. Each block is a cube with side length of 2 inches. Use the formula v = s3 to find the volu
Lelechka [254]

The volume of the tower given the side length of each block and number of blocks used is 192 cubic inches

<h3>Volume of a cube</h3>

  • Number of blocks used = 24
  • Side length of each cube = 2 inches

Volume of each cube = s³

= 2³

= 2 × 2 × 2

= 8 cubic inches

Volume of the tower = Number of blocks used × Volume of each cube

= 24 × 8

= 192 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the tower given the side length of each block and number of blocks used is 192 cubic inches

How many integers are greater than radical 27 and less than radical 72
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The factorization of 72 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 which has 1 pair of the same number. Thus, the simplest radical form of √72 is 6√2.Prime factorization of 27 is 3 × 3 × 3. Therefore, √27 can be simplified further as √3 × 3 × 3 =3√3. Thus, we have expressed the square root of 27 in the simplest radical form as 3√v
