-1(x+5)=3[x+(2x-1)] solved and justified each step

Mathematics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>x = -0.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(x+5)=3[x+2x-1)]\\\\\text{for}\ -1(x+5):\ \text{distribtutive property}\\\text{for}\ [x+(2x-1)]:\ \text{associative property}\\\\(-1)(x)+(-1)(5)=3[(x+2x)-1]\\-x-5=3(3x-1)\\\\\text{for}\ 3(3x-1):\ \text{distributive property}\\\\-x-5=(3)(3x)+(3)(-1)\\-x-5=9x-3\\\\\text{for the equation}:\ \text{addition property of equality}\\\\-x-5=9x-3\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\-x-5+5=9x-3+5\\-x=9x+2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{subtraction property of equality}\\\\-x=9x+2\qquad\text{subtract}\ 9x\ \text{from both sides}

-x-9x=9x-9x+2\\-10x=2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{division property of equality}\\\\-10x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by -10}\\\dfrac{-10x}{-10}=\dfrac{2}{-10}\\x=-0.2

\text{Distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{Associative property:}\ (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

How to convert 750 in ^3 to yd^3
____ [38]

\bf \stackrel{\textit{we know that }}{1yd=36in}\implies \stackrel{\textit{therefore}}{(1yd)^3=(36in)^3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the exponent}}{1^3yd^3=36^3in^3}\\\\\\1yd^3=46656in^3~\hspace{8em}therefore\\\\\\750 \underline{in^3} \cdot \cfrac{1yd^3}{46656 \underline{in^3}}\implies \cfrac{750 yd^3}{46656}\implies \cfrac{125 yd^3}{7776}~~~~\approx~~~~ 0.016075~yd^3

Examine the pattern in the powers of i you wrote in the table, and create a rule for finding the value of large powers of i. Jus
denpristay [2]
Let N be any integer. Then

i^N=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }N\equiv0\mod4\\i&\text{if }N\equiv1\mod4\\-1&\text{if }N\equiv2\mod4\\-i&\text{if }N\equiv3\mod4\end{cases}

In other words:

(1) If N is a multiple of 4, then i^N=1.

(2) If dividing N by 4 leaves a remainder of 1, then i^N=i, since i^N=i^{4n+1} for some integer n, and from (1) we know that i^{4n+1}=i^{4n}i=i (because, obviously, 4n is a multiple of 4).

(3) If instead you get a remainder of 2, then i^N=-1. This follows from (1) as well. i^N=i^{4n+2}=i^{4n}i^2=(1)(-1)=-1.

(4) Finally, if you get a remainder of 3, then i^N=i^{4n+3}=i^{4n}i^2i=(1)(-1)(i)=-i.
