10 - 5x < 6x - 8

We can treat this inequality like a normal algebraic equation.

<em><u>Add 5x to both sides</u></em>

10 < 11x - 8

<em><u>Add 8 to both sides</u></em>

18 < 11x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 11</u></em>

1.64 < x

X is greater than the value 1.64.

Let's plug the number 2 into each value of x to verify.

10 - 5x < 6x - 8

10 - 5*2) < (6 * 2) - 8

10 - 10 < 12 - 8

0 < 4

It's correct.

Now let's plug 1, which is less than 1.64.

10 - 5x < 6x - 8

10 - 5 < 6 - 8

5 < -2

This is not correct, which means that our answer was correct.

On your tenth birthday, you received 500 which you invested at 9.5% interest, compounded annually. your investment is worth $250
igomit [66]
Compounded once a year: A=P(1+r)^t
2500=500(1+0.095)^t
1.095^t=5
because the unknown number is an exponent, use log to find the unknown:
log(1.095^t)=log5
tlog1.095=log5
t=log5/log1.095
use your calculator, t=17.734
so this person is about 28 years old.

What is the angle, in degrees, if the Area is 180 square miles and the radius is 42,240 feet?
Savatey [412]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a circle (all 360°) is

pi×r²

with r being the radius.

the area of a circle segment is just the corresponding fraction of the whole circle.

so the area of a segment of x degrees is

pi×r² × x/360

in our case we know

pi×42240² × x/360 = 180 mi²

we also know that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.

so, the radius is actually

42240 / 5280 = 8 miles

and therefore our equation resulting in mi² has to use miles and not ft and has to look that way :

pi×8² × x/360 = 180 mi²

pi×64 × x/360 = 180

pi×64 × x = 180×360

pi×x = 180×360/64 = 1012.5

x = 1012.5/pi = 322.2887598...°

so, the angle of the segment of a circle with the area of 180 mi² and the radius of 8 mi is 322.2887598...°
