When solving negative one over eight (x + 35) = −7, what is the correct sequence of operations?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side

 $- \frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7$

Multiply each side by -8:
 $(-8)(- \frac{1}{8})(x+35)=(-8)(-7) \\ \\ 
1(x + 35) = 56 \\ 
x + 35 = 56$

Subtract 35 from each side:
 $x + 35 -35 = 56-35 \\ \\ 
x + 0 =21 \\ \\ 
x = 21$

What is the volume of this square pyramid?

tatuchka [14]

Answer: 1296 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a square pyramid is,

$V = \frac{a^2h}{3}$

Where a = side of the square base,

h = height of the pyramid,

By the given diagram,

a = 18 cm,

h = 12 cm,

Hence, the volume of the given pyramid,

$V = \frac{18^2\times 12}{3}$

$= \frac{324\times 12}{3}$

$=\frac{3888}{3}$

$=1296$ cube cm.

⇒ First option is correct.

In 2010, the population of a city was 161,000. From 2010 to 2015, the population grew by 8%. From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 6.7%.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

99%

Step-by-step explanation:

2010 population = 161,000

From 2010 to 2015, the population grew by 8%.

2010 to 2015 = 161,000 + (8% of 161,000)

= 161,000 + (0.08 * 161,000)

= 161,000 + 12,880

= 173,880

2010 to 2015 = 173,880

From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 6.7%

2015 to 2020 = 173,880 - (6.7% of 173,880)

= 173,880 - (0.067 * 173,880)

= 173,880 - 11,649.96

= 162,230.04

2015 to 2020 = 162,230.04

what percent did the city grow from 2010 to 2020.

= 161,000 / 162,230.04 × 100

= 0.9924179270374 × 100

= 99.241792703743

Approximately, 99% to the nearest whole number

-/2 points

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Part 1) The domain of the quadratic function is the interval (-∞,∞)

Part 2) The range is the interval (-∞,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=-x^2+14x-48$

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

step 1

Find the domain

The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x

The domain of the quadratic function is the interval

(-∞,∞)

All real numbers

step 2

Find the range

The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.

we have a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Let

(h,k) the vertex of the parabola

The range is the interval

(-∞,k]

Find the vertex

$f(x)=-x^2+14x-48$

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x)-48$

Complete the square

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x+49)-48+49$

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x+49)+1$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)=-(x-7)^2+1$

The vertex is the point (7,1)

therefore

The range is the interval

(-∞,1]

What is the distance around a triangle that has sides measuring 2/18 feet 3/12 feet and 2/12 feet

Minchanka [31]

The distance around an object is called the perimeter. To get the perimeter, you add up the sides. So, 2/18 + 3/12 + 2/12 = your answer.
