Three times a number, X, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x. Which equation can be used to solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times a number x :  3x

Three times a number x increase by 4:  3x +4

Five  times the number x: 5x

5x = 3x +4

Subtract 3x from both the sides.

5x - 3x = 3x +4 - 3x

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x=2

The number is 2

A frog leaps 24 inches. The highest point in the jump is 6 inches. Assume the frog starts at (0,0). What quadratic function mode
Ivanshal [37]
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-\frac{1}{24} (x-12)^2+6

The quadratic function h(t)=-16.1t^2 + 150 models a balls height, in feet, over time, in seconds, after it is dropped from a 15
zzz [600]
In order to find height from where ball is dropped, you have to find height or h(t) when time or t is zero.So plug in t=0 into your quadratic equation:h(0) = -16.1(0^2) + 150h(0) = 0 +150h(0) = 150 ft is the height from where ball is dropped. When ball hits the ground, the height is zero. So plug in h(t) = 0 and solve for t.0 = -16.1t^2 + 15016.1 t^2 = 150t^2 = 150/16.1t = sqrt(150/16.1)t = ± 3.05Since time cannot be negative, your answer is positive solution i.e. t = 3.05
