Answer:

$\boxed {\tt n=\frac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

$8n-2=2$

We want to solve for n, therefore we must isolate n on one side of the equation.

2 is being subtracted from 8n. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

$8n-2+2=2+2$

$8n=2+2$

$8n=4$

n is being multiplied by 8. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 8.

$\frac{8n}{8}=\frac{4}{8}$

$n=\frac{4}{8}$

$n=\frac{1}{2}$

The value of n that makes the equation true is <u>1/2</u>.

Answer:

h = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a tetrahedron is given as :

V = sh

Where

s is area of base and h is height

Put s = 8 and V = 48 to find h as follows :

$h=\dfrac{V}{s}\\\\=\dfrac{48}{8}\\\\h=6$

So, the height of the tetrahedron is 6 units.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$
