Answer:

-80

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically what we need to do is find the value of x that satisfies the equation.

When I mean satisfy, I basically mean a value of x that makes one side of the equals sign equal to the other side of the equals sign.

So in this case, we need -6 = -6.

To find this lets solve the equaion step by step:

-6=x/8+4

So first off, you always want to get the variable on one side, and the number on the other.

This means you want to subtract the 4 from both sides, leaving x/8:

-6=x/8+4

-4       -4

-10=x/8

Whenever x is not 1x, you have to divide or multiply to get it equal to 1x.

If this is a bit confusing, here is an example:

100=10x

We need 1x, but above is 10x. The reason why we want 1x is because it is the lowest ratio, and most accurate x value.

You can think of it like a 1 dollar bill. Its easier and better to use than per say a 3 dollar bill.

So in the example above you would divide by 10, since 10x/10 would equal 1x.

Remember the rule however, that what you do on one side you must do on the other. This emans you would divide both sides by 10:

100/10 =10x/10

=

10=1x

We have in our equation:

-10=x/8

Our x is lower than 1. It x/8. Whenever we have a value of x greater than 1, we divide, like we did in the example. However here, it is below x. So we multiply.

In this case we multiply by 8, since its x/8:

-10 * 8 = x/8 * 8

=

-80=x

So x is equal to -80.

I hope you understand it better now :D

A track-and-field athlete releases a javelin. The height of the javelin as a function of time is shown on the graph below. Use t
Georgia [21]
Part 1:
 
 For this case we must see in the graph the axis of symmetry of the given parabola.
 We have then that the axis of symmetry is the vertical line t = 2.
 Answer:
 
The height of the javelin above the ground is symmetric about the line t = 2 seconds:

 
Part 2:

 
For this case, we must see the time t for which the javelin reaches a height of 20 feet for the first time.
 We then have that when evaluating t = 1, the function is h (1) = 20. To do this, just look at the graph.
 Then, we must observe the moment when it returns to be 20 feet above the ground.
 For this, observing the graph we see that:
 h (3) = 20 feet
 Therefore, a height of 20 feet is again reached in 3 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The javelin is 20 feet above the ground for the first time at t = 1 second and again at t = 3 seconds

What is ∛2197? Explain how you got your answer.
user100 [1]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write our answer in exponential form. Ask yourself the question, "What times itself 3 times will give you 2197?" Your answer is 13^{3}. This will go inside of your cube root. You now have \sqrt[3]{13^{3} }. Since there's a power of 3 and a cube root, those cancel each other out, and your answer is 13.
