Solve for x. 4(2-x)+13=2x+3

Mathematics

1 answer:

gregori [183]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2-x)+13=2x+3

distribute the 4.

8 - 4x + 13 = 2x + 3

combine like terms.

21 - 4x = 2x + 3

18 = 6x

divide by 6.

x = 3

check.

4(2 - 3) + 13 = 2(3) + 3

4(-1) + 13 = 6 + 3

-4 + 13 = 9

9 = 9

correct!

Find the standard equation of a sphere that has diameter with the end points given below. (3,-2,4) (7,12,4)

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The standard equation of the sphere is $(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the end point are (3,-2,4) and (7,12,4)

Since we know the end points of the diameter, we can determine the center (midpoint of the two end points) of the sphere.

The midpoint can be calculated thus

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Let the first endpoint be represented as $(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})$ and the second endpoint be $(x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2})$ .

Hence,

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{3 + 7 }{2}, \frac{-2+12 }{2}, \frac{4 + 4 }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{10 }{2}, \frac{10}{2}, \frac{8 }{2})\\$

Midpoint = $(5, 5, 4)$

This is the center of the sphere.

Now, we will determine the distance (diameter) of the sphere

The distance is given by

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2}- z_{1})^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^{2} +(12 - -2)^{2} + (4- 4)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{(4)^{2} +(14)^{2} + (0)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 +196 + 0$

$d =\sqrt{212}$

$d = 2\sqrt{53}$

This is the diameter

To find the radius, r

From $Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}$

$Radius = \frac{2\sqrt{53} }{2}$

∴ $Radius = \sqrt{53}$

r = $\sqrt{53}$

Now, we can write the standard equation of the sphere since we know the center and the radius

Center of the sphere is $(5, 5, 4)$

Radius of the sphere is $\sqrt{53}$

The equation of a sphere of radius r and center $(h,k,l)$ is given by

$(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} + (z-l)^{2} = r^{2}$

Hence, the equation of the sphere of radius $\sqrt{53}$ and center $(5, 5, 4)$ is

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = \sqrt{(53} )^{2}$

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

This is the standard equation of the sphere

the length of one leg of a right triangle is 6 feet. the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg. Find the le

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.
