f(8) = 6 (1-8) +11
= 6 (-7) + 11
= -42 +11
= -31
Answer:
x = 4.7
Step-by-step explanation:
30x - 140 -(x - 4)
Multiply the -1 into (x - 4)
30x - 140 - x + 4
Add/subtract
29x - 136 = 0
+136
Answer:
<em>Height of tomato plant is the </em><u><em>dependent variable</em></u>
<em>Presence of walnut leaves in the soil is the </em><u><em>independent variable</em></u>
<em>Tomato plants grown without walnut leaves is the </em><u><em>control</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>An independent variable is the variable in an experiment that can be altered to test for a certain result. It is independent, or does not change with change in other factors in the experiment.</em> In this case, the presence or absence, or quantity of walnut available in the soil is the independent variable in the experiment.
<em>A dependent variable varies, and depends on the independent variable. It is what is measured in the experiment.</em> In this case, the height of the tomato plants is the dependent variable that depends on the presence, absence or quantity of walnut in the soil.
<em>A control in an experiment, is a replicate experiment, that is manipulated in order to be able to test a single variable at a time.</em> Controls are variables are held constant so as to minimize their effect on the system under study. In this case, some of the tomato plants are planted without walnut in the soil, to test the effect of the absence of the walnut in the soil.
Answer:
(x + 1)² = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-2x = x² - 6
We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:
x² + 2x - 6 = 0
The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine. Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.
Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term. That value will of course be 1, giving us:
x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0
Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:
x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0
x² + 2x + 1 = 7
(x + 1)² = 7
To check our answer, we can solve for x:
x + 1 = ± √7
x = -1 ± √7
x ≈ 1.65, -3.65
Let's try one of those in the original equation:
-2x = x² - 6
-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6
- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6
-3.3 = -3.28
Good. Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.
