What is x in x+2=4(x-3)

Mathematics

Assoli18 [71]4 years ago

<u><em>x=14/3 is the correct answer. </em></u>First you had to expand, and it gave us, 4(x-3)=4x-12, or x+2=4x-12. And then subtract by two (2) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, x+2-2=4x-12-2. Simplify, and it gave us, x=4x-14. You can also subtract by four x (4x) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, x-4x=4x-14-4x. And then simplify, and it gave us, -3x=-14. You divide by negative three (-3) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, \frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-14}{-3}. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is x=14/3 is the final answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie

It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet. Please help
Luda [366]

Answer:

The set of natural numbers is the set of all positive integers, then this set is:

{1, 2, 3, ...}

and the 24th letter of the alphabet is x

Now we want to write the expression given in the sentence "It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

We can "break" this in parts, so it is easier to understand.

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers..."

is:

1 + 2 + 3

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This can be written as:

(1 + 2 + 3) + x

Now we can analyze the complete sentence:

"It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This is equal to the expression we found above plus one, then we can write this as:

[(1 + 2 + 3) + x] + 1

[6 + x] + 1

6 + x + 1

7 + x

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.
postnew [5]

<em><u>This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists</u></em>

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Derivatives</u>

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

h(x)=2x^2-12x+20

Let's find the first derivative

h'(x)=4x-12

solving h'=0:

4x-12=0

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

2x^2-12x+20=0

Simplifying by 2

x^2-6x+10=0

Completing squares

x^2-6x+9+10-9=0

Factoring and rearranging

(x-3)^2=-1

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists

Answer:

  1536 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In units of 5 feet, the backdrop is 3 units wide and 2 units high, for a total area of 3×2 = 6 square units.

Those same units on the scale drawing are each 16 inches. One square unit on the scale drawing is (16 in)² = 256 in². So, 6 of them have an area of ...

  6 × 256 in² = 1536 in²

M (Mean) = 20,500;
SD (Standard Deviation) = 55
1 ) 20,555 = 20,500 + 55 = M + 1 SD
Answer: 50% + 34.1% = 84.1%
2 ) 20.610 = 20,000 + 110 = M + 2 SD
Answer: 10% - ( 50% + 34.1% + 13.6% ) = 100% - 97.7% = 2.3% 
3 ) 20,445 = 20,500 - 55 = M - 1 SD
Answer: 50% - 34.1% = 15.9%
