Answer:

  x ≈ 2.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We  can subtract 6 to put the equation into a form easily solved.

  x^2 +2x +1 = 15

  (x +1)^2 = 15

  x +1 = √15 . . . . . for the greatest solution, we only need the positive root

  x = √15 -1 ≈ 2.87

Multiply and give the answer in scientific notation: (2.3 x 10-3)(3 x 108) A) 6.9 x 105 B) 6.9 x 1011 C) 6.9 x 10-5 D) 6.9 x 102
Furkat [3]

Answer: A) is the right answer. 6.9\times10^{5}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given product : 2.3\times10^{-3}\times3\times10^8

To multiply above expression, first we need to combine like terms and then we need to use the law of exponents.

2.3\times3\times10^{-3}\times10^8\\=(2.3\times3)\times(10^{-3}\times10^8)\\=6.9\times10^{-3+8}......[\text{by law of exponents }a^n\cdot\ a^m=a^{m+n}]\\=6.9\times10^{5}

Thus, the answer is 6.9\times10^{5}.

Call the angles of depression D.

then tan(D)=20/30, or I

arctan(tan(D)) = arctan(⅔)

D=33.690. A is the answer

your calculator probably uses tan^-1 rather than arctan

Part 1) we know that
m∠5=44°    m∠11=86°
m∠2=m∠5------> by vertical angles
m∠2=44°
m∠13=m∠11------> by vertical angles
m∠13=86°
m∠12+m∠13=180°-----> supplementary angles
m∠12=180-86-----> m∠12=94°
m∠14=m∠12----> by vertical angles
m∠14=94°
m∠1=m∠11----> by corresponding angles
m∠1=86°
m∠4=m∠1----> by vertical angles
m∠4=86°
m∠2+m∠1+m∠6=180
m∠6=180-(86+44)----> 50°
m∠6=50°
m∠3=m∠6----> by vertical angles
m∠3=50°
m∠8=m∠3----> by corresponding angles
m∠8=50°
m∠8+m∠7=180°-----> supplementary angles
m∠7=180-50----> 130°
m∠7=130°
m∠10=m∠6----> by corresponding angles
m∠10=50°
m∠10+m∠9=180°-----> supplementary angles
m∠9=180-50-----> 130°
m∠9=130°

the answers Part 1) are
m∠1=86°
m∠2=44°
m∠3=50°
m∠4=86°
m∠5=44° 
m∠6=50°
m∠7=130°
m∠8=50°
m∠9=130°
m∠10=50°
m∠11=86°
m∠12=94°
m∠13=86°
m∠14=94°

Part 2) 
a) what is m∠TPR?
in the right triangle PTR 
m∠PTR+m∠TPR+m∠TRP=180° ( the sum of internal angles of triangle is equal to 180 degrees)
m∠PTR=30°
m∠TRP=90°
so
m∠TPR=180-(90+30)----> 60°

the answer Part 2a) is 
m∠TPR=60°

b) what is the length in inches of segment PR?
in the right triangle PTR 
sin 30=PR/TP-----> PR=TP*sin 30-----> PR=14*(1/2)----> 7 in

the answer Part 2b) is
PR=7 in

c)  what is the length in inches of segment TR?
in the right triangle PTR 
cos 30=TR/PT-----> TR=PT*cos 30-----> TR=14*(√3/2)---> TR=7√3 in

the answer Part 2c) is
TR=7√3 in

d)  what is the length in inches of segment PQ?
in the right triangle PQR
PR=7 in
RQ=PR-----> by angle 45°
so
RQ=7 in
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
PQ²=RQ²+PR²-----> 7²+7²-----> PQ²=98-----> PQ=√98 in---> PQ=7√2 in

the answer Part 2d) is
PQ=7√2 in

Part 3) Patrice buys a block of wax in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The dimensions of the block are 20 cm by 9 cm by 8 cm.
  <span><span>(a)   </span>What is the volume of the block?

volume of the prism=20*9*8-----> 1440 cm³

the answer Part 3 a) is
the volume of the block is 1440 cm³
<span>
Patrice melts the wax and creates a candle in the shape of a circular cylinder that has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 15 cm.<span>(b)   </span>To the nearest centimeter, what is the volume of the candle?
</span></span>volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h
diameter=10 cm
radius r=10/2----> 5 cm
h=15 cm
volume of a cylinder=pi*5²*15----> 1177.5 cm³-----> 1178 cm³

the answer Part 3b) is
the volume of the candle is 1178 cm³

<span>Patrice decides to use the remaining wax to create a candle in the shape of a cube.<span>(c)   </span>To the nearest centimeter, what is the length of the side of the cube?
</span>
the remaining wax=volume of the prism-volume of a cylinder
=1440-1178-----> 262 cm³

volume of a cube=b³
where b is the length side of the cube
262=b³-------b=∛262-----> b=6.40 cm-----> b=6 cm

the answer Part 3c) is
the length of the side of the cube is 6 cm

Help me solve this equation 3x-7=4x
Sauron [17]
Hey!

Let's write it, 3x-7=4x
Add 7 to both sides,
3x-7+7=4x+7
3x=4x+7
Subtract 4x from both sides.
3x-4x=4x+7-4x
-x=7
Since we don't want a negative variable, we have to divide both sides by -1.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}
Our answer would be,
x=-7

Thanks!
