Collin solved the inequality:

1 answer:

valentinak56 [21]3 years ago

6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

collin is correct and incorrect at the same time. when you solve this, you start with adding like terms.

10x and -11x will be added together to be -1x, after we figure this out, we solve.

-1x+7<-20

-7 -7

-1x<-27

/-1 /-1

x<27

after you solve, you notice that x is less than 27. collin has the correct answer for solving the equation, but if were looking on a more technical note, he would be incorrect because he said the answer is 27, when the answer is actually less than 27. therefore, collin has solved the inequality correctly, but he has said the answer incorrectly

Simplify the difference. (4w^2 – 4w – 8) – (2w^2 + 3w – 6)

Blababa [14]

Answer:

2w^2 -7w-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4w^2 – 4w – 8) – (2w^2 + 3w – 6)

Distribute the minus sign

(4w^2 – 4w – 8) – 2w^2 - 3w + 6

I like to line them up vertically

4w^2 – 4w – 8

– 2w^2 - 3w + 6

-----------------------------

2w^2 -7w-2

If you have a cubic polynomial of the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d and lets say it passes through the points (2,28), (-1, -5),

nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Solve using the first point</u>

<em>(2, 28)</em>

$28 = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d$

$28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d$

<u>Step 2: Solve using the second point</u>

<em>(-1, -5)</em>

$-5 = a(-1)^3 + b(-1)^2 + c(-1) + d$

$-5 = -a + b - c + d$

<u>Step 3: Solve using the third point</u>

<em>(4, 220)</em>

$220 = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d$

$220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d$

<u>Step 4: Solve using the fourth point</u>

<em>(-2, -20)</em>

$-20 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + d$

$-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d$

<u>Step 5: Combine the first and fourth equations</u>

<u /> $28 - 20 = 8a - 8a + 4b + 4b + 2c - 2c + d + d$

$8 = 8b + 2d$

$8 - 8b = 8b - 8b + 2d$

$(8 -8b)/2 = 2d/2$

$4 - 4b = d$

<u>Step 6: Solve for c in the second equation</u>

$-5 + 5 = -a + b - c + d + 5$

$0 + c = -a + b - c + c + d + 5$

$c = -a + b + d + 5$

<u>Step 7: Substitute d with the stuff we got in step 5</u>

$c = -a + b + (4 - 4b) + 5$

$c = -a + b + 4 - 4b + 5$

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

<u>Step 8: Substitute d and c into the first equation</u>

<u /> $28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$28 = 8a + 4b - 2a - 6b + 18 + 4 - 4b$

$28 - 22 = 6a - 6b + 22 - 22$

$6 / 6 = (6a - 6b) / 6$

$1 + b = a - b + b$

$1 + b = a$

<u>Step 9: Substitute a, b, and c into the third equation</u>

$220 = 64(1 + b) + 16b + 4(-(1 + b) - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$220 = 64 + 64b + 16b + 4(-1 - b - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b$

$220 - 100 = 60b + 100 - 100$

$120 / 60 = 60b / 60$

$2 = b$

<u>Step 10: Find a using b = 2</u>

$a = b + 1$

$a = (2) + 1$

$a = 3$

<u>Step 11: Find c using a = 3 and b = 2</u>

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

$c = -(3) - 3(2) + 9$

$c = -3 - 6 + 9$

$c = 0$

<u>Step 12: Find d using b = 2</u>

$d = 4 - 4b$

$d = 4 - 4(2)$

$d = 4 - 8$

$d = -4$

Answer: $a = 3, b = 2, c = 0,d = -4$
