Solve the equation uding the most direct method: 3x(x+6)=-10?

Tanzania [10]

To solve this problem, you will use the distributive property to create an equation that can be rearranged and solved using the quadratic formula.

<h3>Distribute</h3>

Use the distributive property to distribute 3x into the term (x + 6):

$3x(x+6)=-10$

$3x^2+18x=-10$

<h3>Rearrange</h3>

To create a quadratic equation, add 10 to both sides of the equation:

$3x^2+18x+10=-10+10$

$3x^2+18x+10=0$

<h3>Use the Quadratic Formula</h3>

The quadratic formula is defined as:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

The model of a quadratic equation is defined as ax² + bx + c = 0. This can be related to our equation.

Therefore:

a = 3
b = 18
c = 10

Set up the quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{(18)^2 - 4(3)(10)}}{2(3)}$

Simplify by using BPEMDAS, which is an acronym for the order of operations:

Brackets

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Use BPEMDAS:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 120}}{6}$

Simplify the radicand:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{204}}{6}$

Create a factor tree for 204:

204 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102 and 204.

The largest factor group that creates a perfect square is 4 × 51. Therefore, turn 204 into 4 × 51:

$\sqrt{4\times51}$

Then, using the Product Property of Square Roots, break this into two radicands:

$\sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{51}$

Since 4 is a perfect square, it can be evaluated:

$2 \times \sqrt{51}$

To simplify further for easier reading, remove the multiplication symbol:

$2\sqrt{51}$

Then, substitute for the quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 \pm 2\sqrt{51}}{6}$

This gives us a combined root, which we should separate to make things easier on ourselves.

<h3>Separate the Roots</h3>

Separate the roots at the plus-minus symbol:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 + 2\sqrt{51}}{6}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-18 - 2\sqrt{51}}{6}$

Then, simplify the numerator of the roots by factoring 2 out:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2(-9 + \sqrt{51})}{6}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2(-9 - \sqrt{51})}{6}$

Then, simplify the fraction by reducing 2/6 to 1/3:

$\boxed{\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 + \sqrt{51}}{3}}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 - \sqrt{51}}{3}}$

The final answer to this problem is:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 + \sqrt{51}}{3}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-9 - \sqrt{51}}{3}$

The local swim team is considering offering a new semi-private class aimed at entry-level swimmers, but needs a minimum number o

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is $\alpha=0.01$ and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

So we reject the null hypothesis is $z>2.326$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 15$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 15$

And the statistic is given by:

$z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The significance level is $\alpha=0.01$ and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

So we reject the null hypothesis is $z>2.326$

Is x = -4 a solution to these equations? Show your work and write YES or NO.

Serga [27]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three equations where x is equal to -4. We are then asked if -4 are a solution to these equations.

To solve we need to substitute the x in every equation for -4. Start :

1.

3(2(-4) - 4) = -36

3(-8 - 4) = -36

-24 - 12 = -36

Therefore -4 is a solution.

2.

5(-4) - 6(-4) - (-4) = 18

-20 + 24 + 4 = 18

4 + 4 = 18

8 ≠ 18

Therefore -4 is not a solution.

3.

5 - 2(3(-4) - 1) = 31

5 - 2(-12 - 1) = 31

5 - 2(-13) = 31

5 + 26 = 31

Therefore -4 is a solution.

The equation of a line is y = 3. write an equation in slope-intercept form of a line parallel to y = 3 that passes through (0,6)

egoroff_w [7]

So first make it y-6=3(x-0) and distribute to make y-6=3X+0 than add the 6 to make Y=3x+6 do you see how I did that
