First, set these expressions equal in an equation. solve for x, then multiply x by 3 because there are 3 sides. the perimeter is 12

Mike has $22 in his bank account and deposits $11.50 each week. At the same time, Tim has $218 in his account but is withdrawing

stich3 [128]

Okay so for Mike, he has $22 in his account.

He deposits $11.50 in it each week, and they want to know how much he has in 12 weeks.

First, multiply $11.50 * 12, which is $138. Then add the $22 that's already in the account, which brings him to $160.

Now for Tim,

He has $218 and withdraws $13 every week.

13 * 12 = 156

Now subtract 218 and 156

218 - 156 = 62

So at the end of 12 weeks, Mike has $160 dollars in his account, and Tim has $62 in his account.

Explain how to write a quadratic equation given the following three points on the graph (5,31) (3,11) (0,11)

masha68 [24]

Given:

The graph of a quadratic function passes through the points (5,31) (3,11) (0,11).

To find:

The equation of the quadratic function.

Solution:

A quadratic function is defined as:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$ ...(i)

It is passes through the point (0,11). So, substitute $x=0,y=11$ in (i).

$11=a(0)^2+b(0)+c$

$11=c$

Putting $c=11$ in (i), we get

$y=ax^2+bx+11$ ...(ii)

The quadratic function passes through the point (5,31). So, substitute $x=5,y=31$ in (ii).

$31=a(5)^2+b(5)+11$

$31-11=a(25)+5b$

$20=25a+5b$

Divide both sides by 5.

$4=5a+b$ ...(iii)

The quadratic function passes through the point (3,11). So, substitute $x=3,y=11$ in (ii).

$11=a(3)^2+b(3)+11$

$11-11=a(9)+3b$

$0=9a+3b$

Divide both sides by 3.

$0=3a+b$ ...(iv)

Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get

$4-0=5a+b-3a-b$

$4=2a$

$\dfrac{4}{2}=a$

$2=a$

Putting $a=2$ in (iv), we get

$0=3(2)+b$

$0=6+b$

$-6=b$

Putting $a=2,b=-6$ in (ii), we get

$y=(2)x^2+(-6)x+11$

$y=2x^2-6x+11$

Therefore, the required quadratic equation is $y=2x^2-6x+11$ .

Solve each calculation. Be sure to report your answer with the correct number of significant figures.

Serjik [45]

Question:

Solve each calculation. Be sure to report your answer with the correct number of significant figures.

5.61000 dg × 1.1010 dg

12.0 m ÷ 3.1415 m

Answer:

1. $5.61000dg * 1.1010dg$ = $6.177 dg^2$

2. $\frac{12}{3.1415} = 3.8198$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5.61000 dg × 1.1010 dg

We start by representing each digit using scientific notation

$5.61000 = 561000 * 10^{-5}$

$1.1010 = 11010 * 10^{-4}$

Then, Multiply both numbers

$561000 * 10^{-5} * 11010 * 10^{-4}$

First, rearrange

$561000 * 11010 * 10^{-5} * 10^{-4}$

$6176610000 * 10^{-5} * 10^{-4}$

From law of indices, $10^{-5} * 10^{-4} = 10^{-9}$ ;

So, we have

$6176610000 * 10^{-9}$

$6.176610000$

Because 5.61000 is given in 3 significant figures and 1.1010 is given in 4 significant figures, we approximate the result to 4 significant figures

This gives $6.177$

Hence, $5.61000dg * 1.1010dg$ = $6.177 dg^2$

12.0 m ÷ 3.1415 m

Using proper notation

12.0 m ÷ 3.1415 m = $\frac{12}{3.1415}$

We start by representing 3.1415 using scientific notation

$3.1415 = 31415 * 10^{-4}$

By substitution;

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = \frac{12}{31415 * 10^-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ to the numerator

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = \frac{12 * 10^4}{31415}$

From law of indices, $10^{4}$ = 10000

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = \frac{12 * 10000}{31415}$

Multiply

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = \frac{120000}{31415}$

Divide

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = 3.81983129078$

Because 12.0 is given in 2 significant figures and 3.1415 is given in 5 significant figures, we approximate the result to 5 significant figures

$\frac{12}{3.1415} = 3.8198$
