</span>Sequences VariablesA variable is a symbol that represents a number. Usually we use letters such as n, t, or x for variables. For example, we might say that s stands for the side-length of a square. We now treat s as if it were a number we could use. The perimeter of the square is given by 4 × s. The area of the square is given by s× s. When working with variables, it can be helpful to use a letter that will remind you of what the variable stands for: let n be the number of people in a movie theater; let t be the time it takes to travel somewhere; let d be the distance from my house to the park. ExpressionsAn expression is a mathematical statement that may use numbers, variables, or both.Example:The following are examples of expressions:2x3 + 72 × y + 52 + 6 × (4 - 2)z + 3 × (8 - z<span>)</span></span>
Let x be the price of a cupcake.
There are 24 cupcakes so it will be 24x.
Solution:
24x+16=52
24x=52-16
24x=36
Divide both sides by 24
X=1.5.
The price of each cupcake is 1.5$
Answer:
-0.04x +17.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
It should NOT be "fight of the origin", rather "right of the origin".
Now let's move on to solve the question...
The x-intercept is found by setting the function equal to 0. Thus:
0 = x^3 - 9x
<em>Let's solve this using algebra:</em>
<em></em>
<em />
<em>Hence, x = -3 and x = 3</em>
<em />
The coordinate that is to the right of the origin is the positive one, so x = 3 is the x-intercept we are looking for.
Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
