Answer:

74 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let x = number of weeks

Gallon A:

Capacity = 666

Leak rate = 4 gallons per week

666 - 4x

Gallon B:

Capacity = 888

Leak rate = 7 gallons per week

888 - 7x

666- 4x = 888 - 7x

666 - 888 = - 7x + 4x

-222 = - 3x

x = 222 / 3

x = 74

After 74 weeks

Use the quadratic formula to determine the exact solutions to the equation.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

x= 2.28

or, x= 0.219

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-5x+1 =0

a= 2, b= -5 and c= 1

x= (-b <u>+</u> √(b²-4ac))/2a

= (5 <u>+</u> √(25-8))/4

= (5 <u>+</u> √17)/4

Answer please! I have been "getting" the correct answer, as far as I know. The answer which I got was 10x^2 - 4x. But I don't se
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The answer is 10x² - 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Distributive Law,

a(m + n) = am + an

So for this question :

2x(5x - 2)

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

= 10 {x}^{2}  - 4x

Express 8 sin^2x - 10sinxcosx in the form a+b sin(2x+c).
ladessa [460]
8 sin2x - 10sinxcosx = 8*2sinXcosX-10sinXcosX = 16sinXcosX - 10sinXcosX = 6sinXcosX=3sin2x

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions 4x+3y= -8 -8x-6y= 16
cupoosta [38]

\begin{cases} 4x+3y=-8\\\\ -8x-6y=16 \end{cases}~\hspace{10em} \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

4x+3y=-8\implies 3y=-4x-8\implies y=\cfrac{-4x-8}{3}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}} x-\cfrac{8}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -8x-6y=16\implies -6y=8x+16\implies y=\cfrac{8x+16}{-6} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{8}{-6}x+\cfrac{16}{-6}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}} x-\cfrac{8}{3}

one simple way to tell if both equations do ever meet or have a solution is by checking their slope, notice in this case the slopes are the same for both, meaning the lines are parallel lines, however, notice both equations are really the same, namely the 2nd equation is really the 1st one in disguise.

since both equations are equal, their graph will be of one line pancaked on top of the other, and the solutions is where they meet, hell, they meet everywhere since one is on top of the other, so infinitely many solutions.
