When reading a book, Charlie made a list by writing down the page number of the last page he finished reading at the end of each

day. (He always finished reading a page that he started.) His mom thought his list indicated the amount of pages he had read on each day. At the end of the 8^{\text{th}} day of reading, she added the numbers on his list and thought Charlie had read 432 pages. If Charlie started reading the book on page one, and he read the same amount of pages each day of this eight- day period, how many pages did he actually read by the end of the 8^{\text{th}} day?

Answer:

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie started from page 1 and read the same number of pages each day. Suppose x is the number of pages he read each day, the last page he read on the first day would be:

<u>Last page for day 1 = 1 + x</u>

This would be the first number he noted on the list.

The second page number can be determined by adding the number of pages he read to the last page for day 1.

Last page for day 2 = 1 + x + x

                                 = 1 + 2x

Similarly, the last page he read on the third day is:

Last page for day 3 = 1 + 3x. Similarly,

Last page for day 4 = 1 + 4x

Last page for day 5 = 1 + 5x

Last page for day 6 = 1 + 6x

Last page for day 7 = 1 + 7x

Last page for day 8 = 1 + 8x

His Mom added all of the page numbers and got a total of 432. So,

432 = 1+x + 1+2x + 1+3x + 1+4x + 1+5x + 1+6x + 1+7x + 1+8x

432 = 8 + 8x

8x = 432-8

8x = 424

x = 424/8

x = 53

By the end of the 8th day he actually read 1 + 8x pages. Substituting the value of x in this expression, we get:

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 1 + 8(53)

                                                                               = 1 + 424

No. of pages he read by the end of the 8th day = 425

Answer:

The answer is y=24

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle</u>, which means that the it follows the <em>respective ratio of x:x</em>\sqrt{3}<em>:2x. </em>Since we know that the 30 degree value is 8\sqrt{3}, we can establish that the 60 degree value is 8\sqrt{3}*\sqrt{3} = 24.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function is : 3x²-3x-1

  • 3x²-3x+2=2
  • 3x²-3x-1+3=2
  • 3x²-3x-1= -1
  • the number that gives us -1 is 1 (from the graph)

so x is 1

  • 3x²-3x-1= x+1  ⇒3x²-4x-2 = 0
  • Δ(the dicriminant)= (-4)²-4*3*(-2)= 16+24 =40
  • two solution x and y
  • x= (4-√40)/6 and y= (4+√40)/6
  • x= -0.38 and y = 1.7
  • so the estimations are -0.38 and 1.7
