Answer:

"f(x)" where x is the input value. I believe it is the same when talking about functions and it's just replaced with the letter "n", but still means the same.

Need help please and thanks

madreJ [45]

Answer:

2. n = 11

4. g = -2

6. t = 21

8. n = 4

10. y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 63 = -3(1 - 2n)

Dividing both the side by negative 3 we get

$-21=1-2n\\2n=1+21\\2n=22\\n=\frac{22}{2} \\\therefore n=11$

4. -g + 2(3 + g) = -4(g + 1)

First we will open the bracket by distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC

$-g+2\times 3 + 2\times g = -4\times g + -4\times 1\\-g+6+ 2g=-4g-4\\\textrm{we will take all the g term the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4g-g+2g=-6-4\\5g=-10\\g=\frac{-10}{5}\\\therefore g=-2$

6.-3(t +5 ) + (4t + 2) = 8

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-3\times t + -3\times 5 + 4t + 2=8\\-3t-15+ 4t + 2=8\\t=8+15-2\\t=21\\\therefore t=21\\$

8. -8 - n = -3(2n -4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-8 - n = -3\times 2n - -3\times4\\-8-n=-6n+12\\\textrm{all the n terms to the left inside and the constant of the right-hand side}\\6n-n=8+12\\5n=20\\n=\frac{20}{5}\\ \therefore n= 4$

10. -4( 2 - y) + 3y = 3(y - 4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-4\times 2 --4\times y + 3y = 3\times y -3\times 4\\-8+4y+3y =3y-12\\\textrm{all the y terms to the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4y+3y-3y=-12+8\\4y=-4\\y=\frac{-4}{4}\\ \therefore y=-1$

Rewrite the expression g+1/6d-3/4g+1/9g-g+1/4d in standard from by combining like terms I need this ASAP AND I NEED ALL STEPS TO

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(5/12)d - (23/36)g

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can eliminate g and -g to get (1/6)d - (3/4)g + (1/9)g + (1/4)d. Then you need to get common denominators to add like terms together.

1/6 = 4/24 and 1/4 = 6/24. Add them together to get (10/24)d or (5/12)d.

-3/4 = -27/36 and 1/9 = 4/36. Add them together to get (-23/36)g.

So in standard form, (5/12)d - (23/36)g

What are the solutions 2x^2 +7x=4

elena55 [62]

So your equation is $2x^{2} +7x = 4$ . You need to simplify this answer.
So first off, do 2x times 2x.
2 x 2 = 4.
Your equation is now $4x + 7x = 4.$
You're already off to a great start, so now let's add 4x + 7x. It is 11x.
Your equation is almost done! It's $11x = 4$ right now.
Divide both sides by 11, and your answer is...
0.36363636 and so on, or you can round to the nearest hundreth, in which it will be

0.36.

I hope I helped!

Solve the following quadratics. State the FACTORS AND SOLUTIONS. 1. 2x^2 - 7x + 3 2. 3x^2 + 7x +2

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1. x = 3, 1/2 (solutions); (x - 3)(2x - 1) (factors)

2. x = -1/3, -2 (solutions); (3x + 1)(x + 2) (factors)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x^2 - 7x + 3

To solve problem 1, you will need to identify your a, b, and c values in this quadratic function.

Since this problem is in standard form, it will be easy to identify these values. The standard form of a quadratic function is ax^2 + bx + c.

The a value is 2, the b value is -7, and the c value is 3 if we use our standard form and see which numbers are plugged into it.

Since we know that

a = 2
b = -7
c = 3

we can use the quadratic formula: $x = \frac{-b~\pm~\sqrt{b^2~-~4ac} }{2a}$

Substitute the a, b, and c values into the quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4(2)(3)} }{2(2)}$

Now simplify using the laws of pemdas: $x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{(49)-(24)} }{4}$

Simplify even further: $x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{(25)} }{4} \rightarrow x=\frac{7\pm (5) }{4}$

Now split this equation into two equations to solve for x: $x=\frac{12 }{4} ~~and~~ x=\frac{2 }{4}$

12/4 can be simplified to 3, and 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2.

This means your solutions to problem 1 is 3, 1/2.

$\boxed {x=3,\frac{1}{2} }$

There is also another way to solve for the quadratic functions, and this was by factoring.

If you factor 2x^2 - 7x + 3 using the bottoms-up method, you will get (x - 3)(2x - 1).

After factoring, solving for the solutions is simple because all you have to do is set each factor to 0.

x - 3 = 0
2x - 1 = 0

After solving for x by adding 3 to both sides, or by adding 1 to both sides then dividing by 2, you will end up with the same solutions: x = 3 and x = 1/2.

2. 3x^2 + 7x + 2

To save time I'll be using the bottoms-up factoring method, but remember to refer back to problem 1 (quadratic formula) if you prefer that method.

Factor this quadratic function using the bottoms-up method. After factoring you will have (3x + 1)(x + 2). These are your factors.

Now to solve for x and find the solutions of the quadratic function, you will set both factors equal to 0.

3x + 1 = 0
x + 2 = 0

Solve.

First factor: 3x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides.

3x = -1

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -1/3

Second factor: x + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x = -2

Your solutions are x = -1/3 and x = -2.

$\boxed {x = -\frac{1}{3} , -2}$
