Mathematics

koban [17]3 years ago

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x² + 2x = 3

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

Product  = -3

Sum =2

Factors = 3 * (-1)

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x*(x+3) - (x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Ignore x + 3 because the number is a positive number

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

The number is 1

lord [1]

Answer:

(-3, 1)

The solution is the point at which both lines intersect.

This is the solution since both lines would have that point and only that ppoint in this type of problem. IN a graph where 2 lines are parralel, there is no solution as they never intersect . on a graph where the 2 lines overlap there is infinite solutions. FInally in a graph like this there is exactly one solution and it is the intersection of both lines

Arianna gathered data about the distance of 20 cities from the equator and the average hours of sunlight per day in December for
stich3 [128]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>A. strong negative correlation.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

<u>Direction of a relationship</u>

  1. Positive- If one variable increases, the other tends to also increase. If one decreases, the other tends to also. It is represented by positive numbers(i.e 0 to 1).
  2. Negative- If one variable increases, the other tends to decrease, and vice-versa.  It is represented by negative numbers(i.e 0 to -1)

<u>Strength of a relationship</u>

  1. Perfect Relationship- When two variables are linearly related, the correlation coefficient is either 1 or -1. They are said to be perfectly linearly related, either positively or negatively.
  2. No relationship- When two variables have no relationship at all, their correlation is 0.

As in this case, correlation coefficient was found to be -0.91, which is negative and close to -1, so it is a strong negative correlation.

A student solves the following equation for all possible values of x:
bekas [8.4K]
<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
<span><u>To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: </u>
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).

<u>Using the distributive property, we have </u>
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.

<u>Subtract 2x from each side: </u>
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.

<u>Add 32 to each side: </u>
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.

<u>Divide both sides by 6:</u>
</span></span>\frac{6x}{6}<span><span>=</span></span>\frac{36}{6}<span><span>;
x=6.

<u>Extraneous solutions</u> are solutions that come about in the problem but are not valid solutions to the problem; the only values of x that would give this sort of answer are -2 and 4, since these are the two values that would make one of the denominators 0 (we cannot divide by 0).</span></span>
