Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m

akes sense because its easier to work with smaller numbers. However, after that the negative signs swapped. Why does this happen? I remember switching signs years ago when I learned it but now I can't remember the rule as to why. Thank you so much.

Answer:

That's optional

Step-by-step explanation:

Dealing with positive numbers is simpler that's why the equation was divided by -3.

Nonetheless, you can use:

-6x² - 5x + 1 = 0 too

You will get the same answer

D = (-5)² - 4(-6)(1)

D = 25 + 24 = 49

x = [-(-5) +/- sqrt(49)]/(2×-6)

x = [5 +/- 7]/(-12)

x = -2/-12 = ⅙

x = 12/-12 = -1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".

In pentagon ABCDE, A = 87º, B = 1250, C = 63º, and E = 95º. Find
lesantik [10]

Answer:

D = 170\º

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Pentagon

A = 87\º

B = 125\º

C = 63\º

E = 95\º

Required

Find D

From the sum of angles in a Pentagon; we have that

A + B + C + D + E = 540

Substitute values for A, B, C and E

87\º + 125\º + 63\º + D + 95\º = 540\º

Collect Like Terms

87\º + 125\º + 63\º + 95\º + D = 540\º

370\º + D = 540\º

Collect Like Terms

D = 540\º - 370\º

D = 170\º

<em>Hence, from the list of given options, the correct answer is 170</em>

Answer:

Option C. 1,206\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the solid Eva created is equal to the volume of the triangular prism minus the volume of the rectangular prism notch

step 1

<em>Find the volume of the triangular prism</em>

The volume is equal to

V=Bh

where

B is the area of the triangular base

h is the height of the triangular prism

substitute

V=\frac{1}{2}(12)(12)(18)=1,296\ cm^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the rectangular prism notch

The volume is equal to

V=(5)(1)(18)=90\ cm^{3}

step 3

Find the volume of the solid Eva created

1,296\ cm^{3}-90\ cm^{3}=1,206\ cm^{3}

You are choosing between two plans at a discount warehouse. Plan A offers an annual membership fee of $ 90and you pay 30 %of the
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 linear equations, and in both, the amount of merchandise you would have to purchase is "x", the unknown.  We are asked to find that value of x.

The first equation is

C(x) = .30x + 90, which says that the cost of this plan is a fixed $90, and you pay 30% of the manufacturer's cost, x.

The second equation is

C(x) = .80x + 40, which says that the cost of this plan is a fixed $40, and you pay 80% of the manufacturer's cost, x.

If we want to know when the cost of these 2 are equal to each other, we set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

.3x + 90 = .8x + 40 so

-.5x  = -50 so

x = $100

The cost for each plan will be the same at this value of x, but we will plug in 100 for x in each just to make sure we did it right:

C(100) = .3(100) + 90

C(100) = 30 + 90

C(100) = 120  and

C(100) = .8(100) + 40

C(100) = 80 + 40

C(100) = 120
