Answer:

-2(9x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to simplify the expression -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6(x-3/2)

Open the parenthesis

-3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6(x-3/2)

= -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6x+6(3/2)

= -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6x+9

Collect like terms

= -3.1x-7.4x-1.5x-6x+7+9

= -12x-6x+16

= -18x+16

= -2(9x-8)

Hence the simplified form of the expression is -2(9x-8)

Given triangle ABC with sides AB = 3x + 4 , BC = 2x + 5 , and AC = 4x , determine the values of x such that triangle ABC exists
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

  x > 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these three triangle inequalities must be satisfied:

  AB +BC > AC

  BC +CA > BA

  CA +AB > CB

___

Taking these one at a time, we have ...

  AB +BC > AC

  3x +4 + 2x +5 > 4x

  x +9 > 0 . . . . . subtract 4x

  x > -9

__

  BC +CA > BA

  2x +5 + 4x > 3x +4

  3x > -1 . . . . . . subtract 3x+5

  x > -1/3 . . . . . divide by 3

__

  CA + AB > CB

  4x + 3x +4 > 2x +5

  5x > 1 . . . . . . subtract 2x+4

  x > 1/5

___

The only values of x that satisfy all of these inequalities are those such that ...

  x > 1/5

Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer is 5.75+4.5/.06. The shop uses .06 pound of the mixture of the two for each sundae so it will be divided by .06 therefore the complete expression for this problem is 5.75+4.5/.06

At which points are the tangents drawn to the ellipse x 2 + y 2 = [ a ] x + [ a ] y parallel to
In-s [12.5K]

The given equation of the ellipse is x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

At tangent line, the point is horizontal with the x-axis therefore slope = dy / dx = 0

<span>So we have to take the 1st derivative of the equation then equate dy / dx to zero.</span>

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

x^2 – 2 x = 2 y – y^2

(2x – 2) dx = (2 – 2y) dy

(2x – 2) / (2 – 2y) = 0

2x – 2 = 0

x = 1

 

To find for y, we go back to the original equation then substitute the value of x.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

1^2 + y^2 = 2 * 1 + 2 y

y^2 – 2y + 1 – 2 = 0

y^2 – 2y – 1 = 0

Finding the roots using the quadratic formula:

y = [-(- 2) ± sqrt ( (-2)^2 – 4*1*-1)] / 2*1

y = 1 ± 2.828

y = -1.828 , 3.828

 

<span>Therefore the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at points (1, -1.828) and (1, 3.828).</span>
