Answer:

The variable is x.

The value of the variable is 9.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shows the variable x multiplied by 3.5 with the result of that multiplication being 32.2. In order to solve for x, you must "undo" that multiplication.

The definitions of the multiplicative inverse and of the multiplication identity element tell you how to do that. The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal: the multiplicative inverse of 3.5 is 1/3.5. Multiplying a number by its multiplicative inverse gives a result of 1. Here, that means ...

3.5 × (1/3.5) = 1

The property of the multiplicative identity element (1) is that anything multiplied by that is just that thing:

x · 1 = x

So, to solve this equation, you multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of 3.5:

3.5x = 32.2

(1/3.5)(3.5)x = (1/3.5)(32)

1x = 9.2 . . . . . carry out the multiplication

x = 9.2 . . . . . . recognize 1x = x

___

You will recognize that multiplying by 1/3.5 is the same as dividing by 3.5. In other words, we solve this equation by dividing it by the coefficient of x.

Consider the parabola r(t)equalsleft angle at squared plus 1 comma t right angle, for minusinfinityless thantless thaninfinity

kodGreya [7K]

Given:- $r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$ ; $-\infty < t< \infty$ , where a is any positive real number.

Consider the helix parabolic equation :

$r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$

now, take the derivatives we get;

$r{}'(t)=$

As, we know that two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.

Here, $r(t) and r{}'(t)$ are orthogonal i.e, $r\cdot r{}'=0$

Therefore, we have ,

$< at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=0$

$< at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=$

$=2a^2t^3+2at+t$

$2a^2t^3+2at+t=0$

take t common in above equation we get,

$t\cdot \left (2a^2t^2+2a+1\right )=0$

⇒ $t=0$ or $2a^2t^2+2a+1=0$

To find the solution for t;

take $2a^2t^2+2a+1=0$

The number $D = b^2 -4ac$ determined from the coefficients of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0.$

The determinant $D=0-4(2a^2)(2a+1)$ $=-8a^2\cdot(2a+1)$

Since, for any positive value of a determinant is negative.

Therefore, there is no solution.

The only solution, we have t=0.

Hence, we have only one points on the parabola $r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$ i.e <1,0>

There are 14 teams in a basketball league.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of teams = 14

Each team plays every other team twice ;

Using the combination formula :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

14C2 = 14! ÷ (14 - 2)! 2!

14C2 = 14! ÷ (12)! 2!

14C2 = (14 * 13) ÷ 2 * 1

14C2 = 182 / 2

14C2 = 91

Hence, since they are going to be playing each other twice :

2(14C2)

2 * 91 = 182games
