Answer:

  -14x +21 = 7x -24

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your use of the multiplication symbol in this problem (×) is intended to represent the variable x.

The distributive property tells you that the factor outside parentheses multiplies each of the terms inside parentheses:

  a(b+c) = ab+ac

Your equation can be simplified as ...

  -7(2x -4) -7 = 3(x -5) +4x -9 . . . . given

  -7(2x) +(-7)(-4) -7 = 3x +3(-5) +4x -9 . . . . use the distributive property

  -14x +28 -7 = 3x -15 +4x -9 . . . . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication

  -14x +21 = x(3+4) -(15 +9) . . . . identify and group like terms on the right*

  -14x +21 = 7x -24 . . . . . . . . . . do the arithmetic

_____

* note that the distributive property can also be used to combine terms:

  3x +4x = x(3+4) = 7x

Find the absolute extrema for f(x,y)=4-x^2-y^4+1/2y^2 over the closed disk D:x^2+y^2 is less than or equal to 1
algol [13]

Find the critical points of f(x,y):

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-2x=0\implies x=0

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=y-4y^3=y(1-4y^2)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }y=\pm\dfrac12

All three points lie within D, and f takes on values of

\begin{cases}f(0,0)=4\\f\left(0,-\frac12\right)=\frac{65}{16}\\f\left(0,\frac12\right)=\frac{65}{16}\end{cases}

Now check for extrema on the boundary of D. Convert to polar coordinates:

f(x,y)=f(\cos t,\sin t)=g(t)=4-\cos^2-\sin^4t+\dfrac12\sin^2t=3+\dfrac32\sin^2t-\sin^4t

Find the critical points of g(t):

\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dt}=3\sin t\cos t-4\sin^3t\cos t=\sin t\cos t(3-4\sin^2t)=0

\implies\sin t=0\text{ or }\cos t=0\text{ or }\sin t=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

\implies t=n\pi\text{ or }t=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2\text{ or }\pm\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi

where n is any integer. There are some redundant critical points, so we'll just consider 0\le t< 2\pi, which gives

t=0\text{ or }t=\dfrac\pi3\text{ or }t=\dfrac\pi2\text{ or }t=\pi\text{ or }t=\dfrac{3\pi}2\text{ or }t=\dfrac{5\pi}3

which gives values of

\begin{cases}g(0)=3\\g\left(\frac\pi3\right)=\frac{57}{16}\\g\left(\frac\pi2\right)=\frac72\\g(\pi)=3\\g\left(\frac{3\pi}2\right)=\frac72\\g\left(\frac{5\pi}3\right)=\frac{57}{16}\end{cases}

So altogether, f(x,y) has an absolute maximum of 65/16 at the points (0, -1/2) and (0, 1/2), and an absolute minimum of 3 at (-1, 0).

There are 6 squares and 15 triangles. What is the simplest ratio of squares to triangles?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A ratio is written as a:b.

Since we are writing it as a ratio of squares to triangles, "a" would be squares, and "b" would be triangles.

  • a:b
  • \text{squares  :  triangles}
  • 6:15
  • 3(2):3(5)    \hookrightarrow Remove common factors
  • 2:5

The simplest form of the ratio is 2:5.

-5(x-3)= -25<br> find x pls :)
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

x =8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-3)= -25

we apply distributive property

-5*x +5*3 =-25

-5x +15= -25

-5x = -25-15

-5x = -40

x = 40/5

x =8

Find the Z-scores that separate the middle 61% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distributio
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Z-scores between -0.86 and 0.86 separate the middle 61% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Middle 61%

Between the 50 - (61/2) = 19.5th percentile and the 50 + (61/2) = 80.5th percentile.

19.5th percentile.

Z with a pvalue of 0.195. So Z = -0.86

80.5th percentile.

Z with a pvalue of 0.805. So Z = 0.86.

Z-scores between -0.86 and 0.86 separate the middle 61% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distribution
