Which is a correct first step in solving 5 - 2x < 8x- 3?

Mathematics

Answer:

5 < 10x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given inequality is:

5 - 2x < 8x- 3

The given inequality has variable 'x' on both sides of the inequality.

In order to solve such inequalities, we bring the variables on the same side as the first step in solving for 'x'.

Therefore, we could either add 2x on both sides or add -8x both sides to bring the variable terms on same side.

If we add 2x both sides, we get:

5 - 2x +2x< 8x+2x - 3\\5

So, among all the given options, third option matches the above inequality.

Therefore, the first step in solving the given inequality is 5 < 10x - 3

Prove: cot(x) sec^4(x) = cot(x) +2tan(x) + tan^3(x)
masha68 [24]
\bf cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}&#10;\qquad\qquad &#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}\quad\qquad  1+tan^2(\theta)=sec^2(\theta)\\\\\\&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}&#10;\qquad \qquad cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}&#10;\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;cot(x)sec^4(x)=cot(x)+2tan(x)+tan^3(x)\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \textit{so, let's do the left-hand-side}\\\\&#10;cot(x)sec^2(x)sec^2(x)\implies cot(x)[1+tan^2(x)][1+tan^2(x)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cot(x)[1^2+2tan^2(x)+tan^4(x)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cot(x)+2tan^2(x)cot(x)+tan^4(x)cot(x)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cot(x)+2\cdot \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\cfrac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cot(x)+2\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+\cfrac{sin^3(x)}{cos^3(x)}\implies \boxed{cot(x)+2tan(x)+tan^3(x)}

6. Solve by factoring: 2x²-11x+14=0
Mariana [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 2x^2-11x+14=0 give me 2 ways to get the 2 values of x?

The first way is to make factors by middle-term splitting. You get (x-2)(2x-7)=0, so the solution is x=2,7/2.

The other way is to use the formula for the solution of roots. Roots= (-b+ rootD)/2a, (-b-rootD)/2a, if the equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c=0. Here D is the discriminant. D=b^2-4ac

How do I solve 12x^2+11x+2=0?

Solve for x. 5x3−2x2−47x−14=0?

How can I prove that x^2+2x+2=0?

Is the sequence X^2 + 2x -2 =0?

What are the steps to solve 2^(2x)-3(2^x) +2=0?

Lets assume your equation is of the form ax^2+ bx + c =0

First method :

By breaking 'b' factor of x into two parts using factors of 'ac' ( a *c)

like 2* 14 = 28 = 7* 4 ( b is 11 which could be splitted in values 7 and 4)

equation becomes 2x^2 -4x-7x+14 = 0

take out common factors 2x(x-2) -7 (x-2) = 0

which is (2x-7) (x-2) =0 ; x =2,7/2 are two values

Second method:

make equation in the form of (x+h)^ 2 - k = 0 ; then x+h = +sqrt(k) and -sqrt(k)

which will give x as -h+sqrt(k) , +sqrt(k)

2x^2 - 11x +14 =0 wil become x^2 -11/2 x + 7 = 0

which is (x-11/4)^2 + 7- 121/16 =0

(x-11/4)^2 = (121/16) - 7 = 9/16

x- 11/4 = 3/4 and -3/4

x = 14/4 and 8/4 = 7/2 and 2

12 10,9,68,12<br> What is the most appropriate measure of center?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The measure of center generally represented by 1) mean 2) median 3) mode.
  • Mean is the best measure to represent the center of the data but when data have outliers it gets affected badly.
  • In that case, we use the Median as the best measure of center.

The given data is 12 10,9,68,12 .

As it can be seen that, the data have extreme value 68 ( called outliers).

In this case, we will use the Median as the best measure of center.

So, the most appropriate measure of center is the median.
