Mathematics

Leviafan [203]3 years ago
5 0

ax-5 = bx - 13

add 5 to each side

ax = bx-13+5

ax = bx-8

subtract bx from each side

ax-bx = -8

factor out x

x(a-b) = -8

divide by a-b

x = -8/(a-b)

a-b cannot =0

a cannot =b

Answer: x = -8/(a-b)  a cannot equal b

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which number is a potential root of f(x) = 9x8 + 9x6 – 12x + 7?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Seven-thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

The give equation is f(x)=9x^8+9x^6-12x+7.

The leading coefficient is 9

The constant term is 7

According to the rational root theorem, the ratio of factors the constant terms to that of the coefficient of the leading term are all possible rational roots of the given polynomial.

Base on this theorem, \frac{7}{3} or seven thirds is a potential root because the numeration is a factor of 7 and the denominator is a factor of 9.

Solve |2x - 1| + 3 = 6.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

x =2                         x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 1| + 3 = 6.

Subtract 3 from each side

|2x - 1| + 3-3 = 6-3

|2x - 1|= 3

An absolute value has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2x-1 =3                   2x -1 = -3

Add 1 to all sides

2x-1+1 =3+1             2x-1+1 = -3+1

2x = 4                      2x =-2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2                 2x/2 = -2/2

x =2                         x = -1

Solve equation:<br> -3|d-5|=-6
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

d = 7, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to isolate the absolute value

-3|d - 5| = -6

divide both sides by -3:

|d - 5| = 2

break into 2 equations:

d - 5 = 2, d - 5 = -2

solve both equations and collect solutions:

d = 5 + 2, d = 5 - 2

d = 7, 3
