Final Answer: $5$

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Write down $-5 + x = 0$ because this is our equation with $-5$ plugged in to get an additive inverse. We will have to add $5$ to both sides. This means our additive inverse is positive $5$ .

Question: Which number is the additive inverse of $-5$ ?

$-5 + x = 0$

<u>Step 1</u>: Regroup terms.

$x - 5 = 0$

<u>Step 2</u>: Add $5$ to both sides.

$x = 5$

What are the zeros of the function: f(x) = 2x^2-50

yan [13]

When f(x) = 0,

$2x^2 - 50 = 0$

$2(x^2 - 25) = 0$

$2(x- 5)(x + 5) = 0$

$(x - 5) = 0 \ or \ (x + 5) = 0$

$x = 5 \ or \ x = -5$

Answer : x = 5 or -5

When the velocity v of an object is very large, the magnitude of the force due to air resistance is proportional to v squared w

Sati [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model fo the shell is given by the following equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = -b\cdot v^{2} - m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{dv}{dt}$

This first-order differential equation has separable variables, which are cleared herein:

$\int\limits^t_{0\,s} \, dt = -\frac{m}{b} \int\limits^{0\,\frac{m}{s} }_{600\,\frac{m}{s} } {\frac{1}{ v^{2}+\frac{m}{b}\cdot g } } \, dv$

The solution of this integral is:

$t = -\frac{m}{2b}\cdot \left[\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{v}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } }\right) - \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{600}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } }\right)\right]$

$\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{v}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } } \right)=-\frac{2\cdot b\cdot t}{m} + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{600}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } } \right)$

$\frac{v}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } }=\tan \left[-\frac{2\cdot b\cdot t}{m} + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{600}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } } \right)\right]$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } \left [\frac{\tan \left(-\frac{2\cdot b \cdot t}{m} \right)+ \left(\frac{600}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } } \right)}{1 - \left(\frac{600}{\sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g}{b} } } \right)\cdot \tan \left(-\frac{2\cdot b \cdot t}{m} \right) }\right]$

kwasi thought of a number, multiplied it by7/2 and added 16 to the results.if the final answer was 30.what number did he think o

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

represent the number he thought of with x

$\frac{7}{2} x + 16 = 30$

multiply through with the LCM which is 2
$2 \times \frac{7}{2}x + 16 \times 2 = 30 \times 2$
$7x + 32 = 60$
$7x = 60 - 32$
$7x = 28$
$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{28}{7}$
$x = 4$

All the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over. After 60 additional boxe

AveGali [126]

Answer:

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over.

This implies that boxes are in multiples of 12

i.e. 12, or 24, or 36 or....

Let us say this as 12m for m an integer

Now additional boxes arrived =60

Total number of boxes now = $12m+60$

This when arranged in stacks of 14,nothing left out

Or this is multiple of 14

$12m+60 = 14n$ for some positive integer n.

By trial and error we find that if 60 is to be divided by 14, 24 should be added and 24 is a multiple of 12.

So we say originally 24 boxes were there now 84 boxes there.

Hence both options are right.

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.
