Solve the following equations a) 2(x - 1) = 4 (x + 2)b)(3 - x) (x + 2) = 0​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2(x - 1) = 4 (x + 2)

Distribute

2x-2 = 4x+8

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x-2 = 4x-2x +8

-2 = 2x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

-2-8 = 2x+8-8

-10=2x

Divide each side by 2

-10/2 = 2x/2

-5 =x

b)(3 - x) (x + 2) = 0

We can use the zero product property

3-x = 0    x+2= 0

3-x+x=0+x     x+2-2=0-2

3=x                x=-2

Answer:

   6 < x < 23.206

Step-by-step explanation:

To properly answer this question, we need to make the assumption that angle DAC is non-negative and that angle BCA is acute.

The maximum value of the angle DAC can be shown to occur when points B, C, and D are on a circle centered at A*. When that is the case, the sine of half of angle DAC is equal to 16/22 times the sine of half of angle BAC. That is, ...

  (2x -12)/2 = arcsin(16/22×sin(24°))

  x ≈ 23.206°

Of course, the minimum value of angle DAC is 0°, so the minimum value of x is ...

  2x -12 = 0

  x -6 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 6 . . . . . . . add 6

Then the range of values of x will be ...

  6 < x < 23.206

_____

* One way to do this is to make use of the law of cosines:

  22² = AB² + AC² -2·AB·AC·cos(48°)

  16² = AD² + AC² -2·AD·AC·cos(2x-12)

The trick is to maximize x while satisfying the constraints that all of the lengths are positive. This will happen when AB=AC=AD, in which case the equations be come ...

  22² = 2·AB²·(1-cos(48°))

  16² = 2·AB²·(1 -cos(2x-12))

The value of AB drops out of the ratio of these equations, and the result for x is as above.

Tasha invests $5,000 annually at 6% and an additional $5,000 annually at 8%. Thomas invests $10,000 annually at 7%. Which statem
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest Formula:

V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Tasha invests in two ways

Case 1:

  • Principal P=$5,000
  • Rate of Interest r=0.06
  • Time t=t
  • n=1

V(t)=5000(1+0.06)^t

V(t)=5000(1.06)^t

Case 2:

  • Principal P=$5,000
  • Rate of Interest r=0.08
  • Time t=1
  • n=1

V(t)=5000(1+0.08)^t

V(t)=5000(1.08)^t

Total amount yield by Tasha = 5000[(1.06)^t+(1.08)^t]

Thomas Investment

  • Principal P=$10,000
  • Rate r= 0.07
  • t=t
  • n=1

Total amount yield by Thomas = 10000(1.07)^t

Now we make table for Tasha and Thomas different value of t

    t                  Tasha                  Thomas

   1                  $10,700                 $10,700  

   2                 $11,450                  $11,449

   3                 $12,254                 $12,250

   4                 $13,115                  $13,108

In table we can see Tasha investment will yield more from Thomas.

Thus, Tasha’s investment will yield more over many years because the amount invested at 8% causes the overall total to increase faster.

For the month of November in a certain​ city, 88​% of the days are cloudy. Also in the month of November in the same​ city, 54​%
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

There is a 61.36% probability that a randomly selected day in November will be foggy if it is cloudy.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

An 88% probability that the day is cloudy.

An 54% probability that the day is both foggy and cloudy.

What is the probability that a randomly selected day in November will be foggy if it is cloudy​?

This is the percentage of days that are cloudy and foggy divided by those that are cloudy. So:

P = \frac{0.54}{0.88} = 0.6136

There is a 61.36% probability that a randomly selected day in November will be foggy if it is cloudy.
