Determine the solution set of x2 - 80 = 0. {± } {±4 } {±2 }

Answer:  \Big\{\pm 4\sqrt{5} \Big\}

This is the shorthand way of writing \Big\{4\sqrt{5}, -4\sqrt{5} \Big\}

=====================================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 80 = 0\\\\x^2 = 80\\\\x = \pm\sqrt{80}\\\\x = \pm\sqrt{16*5}\\\\x = \pm\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{5}\\\\x = \pm4\sqrt{5}\\\\x = 4\sqrt{5} \ \text{ or } \ x = -4\sqrt{5}\\\\

The plus or minus is needed because squaring a negative leads to a positive. As another example, x^2 = 25 has x = 5 and x = -5 as the two solutions. Note that x^2 = (-5)^2 = (-5)*(-5) = 25.

Also, note that the 80 was broken up into 16*5. This was done to simplify the square root. We pull out the largest factor that's a perfect square.

So that's how we get to the solution set \Big\{\pm 4\sqrt{5} \Big\}. The curly braces tell the reader that they are dealing with a set.

Solve Quantity x plus 6 end quantity over 2x is equal to three-fourths. Show all work.
Jet001 [13]

The expression described is translated into the following formula:


\frac{x+6}{2x} = \frac{3}{4}


Note that this implies that x \neq 0


Cross-multiply denominators to get rid of the fractions:


4(x+6) = 3(2x)


Expand both sides:


4x+24 = 6x


Subtract 4x from both sides:


24 = 6x - 4x = 2x


Divide both sides by 2:


12 = x


Check:


\frac{12+6}{24} = \frac{18}{24} = \frac{3}{4}


Which is true because


18 \cdot 4= 24\cdot 3


since both sides evaluate to 72

The distance a person walks, d, in kilometers, is a function of time, t, in minutes, since
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C. Time since the person starts walking is the input.

D. t represents the input.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance a person walks, d, in kilometers, is a function of time, t, in minutes, since  the walk begins.

So, we can write d = f(t)

If the person is moving with constant speed, then the above function will be linear.

Now the true statements are  

C. Time since the person starts walking is the input.

D. t represents the input.

All the other statements are false. (Answer)
