Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that <em>x</em> is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped so the reciprocal of -2/3  is just -3/2. So here, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by -3/2.

On the left, our 3's cancel and our 2's cancel and we have <em>x</em>. On the right our 6 and 2 reduced to 3 and 1 so we have 3 x -3 which is -9

Now we have x = -9.

2- suppose a ball is thrown upward to a height of h0 meters . each time the ball bounces, it rebounds to a fraction r of its pre
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) 40, 50, 55, 57.5

b) S_n=h_0+2h_0\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}r^n

Step-by-step explanation:

h₀ = Initial height of the ball =20

r = Rebound fraction = 0.5

a) The series of bouncing balls is given by

Sₙ=h₀+2h₀(r¹+r²+r³+r⁴.........rⁿ)

S₁=h₀+2h₀r¹=20+2×20×0.5=40

S₂=h₀+2h₀(r¹+r²)=20+2×20×(0.5+0.5²)=50

S₃=h₀+2h₀(r¹+r²+r³)=20+2×20×(0.5+0.5²+0.5³)=55

S₄=h₀+2h₀(r¹+r²+r³+r⁴)=20+2×20×(0.5+0.5²+0.5³+0.5⁴)=57.5

b) General expression for the nth term of the sequence

S_n=h_0+2h_0\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}r^n

The panthers team won exactly 2 of its first 9 games. By winning all its remaining N games, the Panthers ended with victories in
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 out of 9 games won

After the N games, the games won would be HALF. Thus, we can write a ratio and solve for the variable N:

\frac{2+N}{9+N}=\frac{1}{2}

Now we cross multiply and solve for N [the number of remaining games that all are won]:

\frac{2+N}{9+N}=\frac{1}{2}\\2(2+N)=1(9+N)\\4+2N=9+N\\2N-N=9-4\\N=5

N represents 5

30 POINTS PLUS BRAINLIEST. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS IN DETAILS,FORMULA AND STEP BY STEP.EXPLANATION FOR EACH ONE. NEEDS TO BE DONE I
Brut [27]

Answer: I think the answers below are all correct! :)

Step-by-step explanation: --> (that sign means I simplified the equation)

9-7r=-5 --> (9+5)-7r=0 --> 14-7r=0 --> 14=7r --> r=2

6x-5=4x+9 --> 6x=4x+(9+5) --> 6x=4x+14 --> 6x-4x=14 --> 2x=14 --> x=7

3(2d-1)=7d --> *multiply the parenthesis* 6d-3=7d --> -3=7d-6d -->d=-3

2(p-3)=4(3p+1) --> *multiply the parenthesis* 2p-6=12p+4 --> -10p=10 --> p=-1

Don't know how to do the others below the boxes.

Good Luck!

Camille buys a three foot long sandwich for a party. She then cuts the sandwich into pieces.With each piece being 1/2 foot long.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

6 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

While you cannot divide directly, one thing that rings true is that the numerator divided by a denominator that is twice the numerator will always be equal 1/2 or 0.5(or 50%, if you wanna go that way).

3*2 = 6

3/6 = 1/2

Therefore, Camille will get 6 pieces.

Using the graph at right, where is the function increasing/decreasing? Where is the function concave up/down? Does this function
Burka [1]

Explanation:

Start by calculating the first derivative of f(x) - use the quotient rule

ddx(f(x))=[ddx(x2)]⋅(x2+3)−x2⋅ddx(x2+3)(x2+3)2

f′=2x⋅(x2+3)−x2⋅2x(x2+3)2

f′=2x3+6x−2x3(x2+3)2=6x(x2+3)2❤
