Mathematics

Answer:

x = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x+2) = 3x +5

Distribute the 5 on the left side

5x + 10 = 3x + 5

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x + 10 = 5

Subtract 10 from both sides

2x = -5

Divide by 2, in order to isolate x

x = -2.5

Distribute (multiply): 5x + 10 = 3x + 5; subtract 5 from both sides

5x + 5 = 3x; subtract 5x from both sides

5 = -2x; divide both sides by -2

-2.5 = x

Substitute to make sure it's right. 5(-2.5 + 2) = 3(-2.5) + 5

5(-0.5) = -7.5 + 5

-2.5 = -2.5

The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters. which represents the volume of the sphere?
amid [387]
The volume of a sphere with respect to its diameter is:

V=(4πr^3)/3

V=(πd^3)/6  (because r=d/2 and r^3=(d^3)/8), we are given that d=4 so

V=64π/6 cm^3

V=32π/3 cm^2

V≈33.51 cm^3  (to nearest hundredth)

What is the axis of symmetry of h(x)=5x2+40x+64
lina2011 [118]
The axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two similar halves. The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola . The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola. For the function h(x) = 5x^2 + 40x + 64 we write it in vertex form as follows: h(x) = 5(x^2 + 8x) + 64 h(x) = 5(x^2 + 8x + 16) + 64 - 5(16) h(x) = 5(x + 4)^2 + 64 - 80 h(x) = 5(x - (-4))^2 - 16 Thus the vertex is given by (h, k) = (-4, -16) Therefore, the axis of symmetry of h(x) = 5x^2 + 40x + 64 is the line x = -4
