Answer:

D. Patel found the incorrect quotient and checked his work using multiplication incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend is $8,$ the divisor is $\dfrac{1}{6}.$ Divide the dividend by the divisor (division by fraction means multiplication by its reciprocal):

$8\div \dfrac{1}{6}=8\times \dfrac{6}{1}=8\times 6=48,$

so the quotient is 48, not $\dfrac{1}{48}.$

To check the answer, Patel has to multiply the quotient by the divisor to get the dividend. Check answer:

$48\times \dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{48}{6}=8$

Hence, Patel found the incorrect quotient and checked his work using multiplication incorrectly.

Write an equation to represent 'twice a number (x) is fifty"

V125BC [204]

Hi there,

Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"

Recall how a number is represented by x.

Twice a number would be represented as 2x.

Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression: $2x=50$

If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.

Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.

To isolate x, divide that side by 2.

However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.

$2x=50$

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{50}{2}$

$x=25$

Equation: $2x=50$

Solving for x: 25

Hope that helps!

Complete the following exercises by applying polynomial identities to complex numbers. Factor x2 + 64. Check your work. Factor 1

$x^2+64=x^2-(8i)^2=(x-8i)(x+8i)$

$16x^2+49=(4x)^2-(7i)^2=(4x-7i)(4x+7i)$

$(x-2i)^2=x^2-2x\cdot2i+(2i)^2=x^2-4xi+4i^2=x^2-4xi-4=x^2-4-4xi$

$(x+(3+5i))^2=x^2+2x(3+5i)+(3+5i)^2\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+3^2+2\cdot3\cdot5i+(5i)^2\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+9+30i+25i^2=x^2+6x+10xi+9+30i-25\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+30i-16=x^2+6x-16+(10x+30)i$

Which equation does the graph of the systems of equations solve?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

We conclude that option 'C' i.e. 1/3x+1=2x-4 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, it is clear that the two lines meet at the point (3, 2).

In other words,

at x =3, y = 2

Thus,

The point of intersection between two lines is:

(x, y) = (3, 2)

Here:

x = 3 is the value of the x-coordinate

y = 2 is the value of the y-coordinate

Now, checking the equation i.e. 1/3x+1=2x-4 to determine whether the equation contains the correct value of x-coordinate or not.

$\frac{1}{3}x+1=2x-4$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x+1-1=2x-4-1$

Simplify

$\frac{1}{3}x=2x-5$

subtract 2x from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x-2x=2x-5-2x$

Simplify

$-\frac{5}{3}x=-5$

Multiply both sides by 5

$3\left(-\frac{5}{3}x\right)=3\left(-5\right)$

Simplify

$-5x=-15$

Divide both sides by -5

$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-15}{-5}$

Simplify

$x=3$

Therefore, the value of x = 3

Conclusion:

We conclude that option 'C' i.e. 1/3x+1=2x-4 is the correct option.

What are the roots of the quadratic equation 2x2+7x+4=0? Select all that apply.

skad [1K]

Answer:

option A and B

$x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}} {4}$

and

$x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}} {4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x^2+7x+4=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$2x^2+7x+4=0$

so

$a=2\\b=7\\c=4$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^{2}-4(2)(4)}} {2(2)}$

$x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{17}} {4}$

so

$x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}} {4}$

and

$x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}} {4}$

If a function is derivable at a point it is also continous at that point explain why?

Artyom0805 [142]

For a function to have a derivative in a point has to be continuous at the point, that is, it has to be defined at that point, other wise the derivative would be meaningless.
