Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
first take 16x from both sides of the equation
x²-12x-5=0
now we have a quadratic. we can solve it by using the quadratic formula
x=-b plus or minus the square root of b²-4ac all divided by 2a
where a=1, b=-12 and c=-5
plug these numbers into the formula
x=12 plus or minus the square root of 144-4x1x-5 all divided by 2
<span>x=12 plus or minus the square root of 164 all divided by 2
or in decimal form </span>x = {12.403124237, -0.403124237}

sam filled 6 glasses with six glasses with two 2/3 liters of juice in each glass. how many liters of juice did he use ?
Tcecarenko [31]
So, Sam filled 6 glasses with 2/3 liters. We want to find out how many liters of juice he used.

To find this out we do 6 * 2/3.
(2/3+2/3+2/3+2/3+2/3+2/3)
(12/3) (Denominator stays the same)
12/3 = 4
Sam uses 4 liters. 

Hope this helps you! (:

Which polynomial function could be represented by the graph below?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

third answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The end behavior of the function indicates that the leading coefficient of x is negative (as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity for cubic functions with negative leading coefficients). This eliminates the first 2 answers. Next, factor out the common factor from the 3rd answer and set it to 0 to see if the roots of the polynomial shown on the graph (x=-3, x=2) match that of the answer.

  • factor out -2x since each term in the 3rd answer is divisible by -2x => -2x(x^2+x-6)
  • set the factored polynomial equal to 0 => -2x(x^2+x-6)
  • divide both sides by -2x => 0 = x^2+x-6
  • factor => (x+3)(x-2) = 0
  • find zeros by setting both factors equal to 0 => x=-3, x=2

This means that the 3rd answer is correct. The last answer, while having the correct leading coefficient, will produce roots of 3 and -2 instead of -3 and 2, which is shown on the graph.

Find x when y=5 if y varies inversely as x and x=6 when y =-18
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It has been given that y varies inversely with x, therefore the equation for this relationship is as follows;
y =\frac{k}{x}\
when y = -18 and x = 6
-18 = k/ 6 ---1)
We need to find x when y = 5
 5 = k/x
when we divide 1)/2), k gets cancelled 

\frac{-18}{5}=  \frac{x}{6}
x = -18*6/5
x = -21.6
when y = 5, then x = -21.6
