Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^3 (x^2 - 4) = 0
Split into two equations:
x^3 = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Take cube roots of both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
x = 0 or x^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: x = 0 or x = 2 or x = -2
Answer: y=-3x/4 -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
-1=-3/4 * 1 +b
-1=-3/4 + b
(-1=-3/4 + b)*4
-4=-3+4b
4b=-1
b=-1/4
y=-3x/4 -1/4
Problem One
Find AM
AM = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
Step Two
State the Givens.
AM = 49.5
MN = 71.5
MB = x
MP = 97.5
Step Three
Set up the Proportion
AM : NM :: x : PM
49.5 : 71.5 :: x : 97.5
Substitute and solve
49.5 / 71.5 = x / 97.5 Cross Multiply
49.5 * 97.5 = 71.5 * x Combine the numbers on the left.
4860.375 = 71.5 * x Divide by 71.5
4860.375 / 71.5 = x
x = 67.98
Problem Two
Remark
This is just a straight application of the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 10
b = 24
c = ??
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(676)
c = 26 <<<< answer
Answer:
there are 45 people in the group
2/3xA=30
2A=30x3
A=90/2
A=45
