Answer

Find out the how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

To proof

let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .

As given

In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.

ore weight = 1,950 lb

9.8% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{9.8}{100}$

= 0.098

Than the equation becomes

x = 0.098 × 1950

x = 191.1 pounds

Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

Hence proved

Find all solutions of the equation algebraically. Use a graphing utility to verify the solutions graphically. (Enter your answer

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The solutions of the equation are 0 and 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation $16x^4 - 24x^3 +9x^2 =0$

To find : All solutions of the equation algebraically. Use a graphing utility to verify the solutions graphically ?

Solution :

Equation $16x^4 - 24x^3 +9x^2 =0$

$x^2(16x^2-24x+9)=0$

Either $x^2=0$ or $16x^2-24x+9=0$

When $x^2=0$

$x=0$

When $16x^2-24x+9=0$

Solve by quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-24)\pm\sqrt{(-24)^2-4(16)(9)}}{2(16)}$

$x=\frac{24\pm\sqrt{0}}{32}$

$x=\frac{24}{32}$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

$x=0.75$

The solutions of the equation are 0 and 0.75.

For verification,

In the graph where the curve cut x-axis is the solution of the equation.

How can you use fractions to place the decimal in the product?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

it is easier to multiply first and then to place the decimal point. Multiply the factors as if they were whole numbers. Disregard the decimal point until you place it in the product.
