What is the solution for 7 +2x/5=13

Solve the equation to find where the treste ground levelEnter your answers from least to greatest and round to the nearest The m

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The trestle meets ground level at 0.875 units and 9.125 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Poorly formatted question.

The given equation is:

$y = -x^2 + 10x - 8$

Required

The point where the trestle gets to the ground level

To do this, we set $y = 0$

So, we have:

$-x^2 + 10x - 8 = 0$

Multiply through by -1

$x^2 -10x + 8 = 0$

Solve using quadratic formula:

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

Where:

$a = 1; b =-10; c = 8$

So, we have:

$x= \frac{-(-10) \± \sqrt{(-10)^2 - 4*1*8}}{2*1}$

$x= \frac{-(-10) \± \sqrt{68}}{2*1}$

$x= \frac{-(-10) \± 8.25}{2}$

$x= \frac{10 \± 8.25}{2}$

Solve the fraction

$x= 5 \± 4.125$

Split

$x= 5 + 4.125\ or\ x= 5 - 4.125$

$x= 9.125\ or\ x= 0.875$

A builder is building a fence with 6-inch-wide wooden boards, arranged side-by-side with no gaps. How many boards are needed to

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

25 wooden boards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Width of wooden board = 6 inches

Number of boards required to build a fence of 150 inches long if there are no gaps :

The lenght of fence / width of wooden board

= 150 inches / 6 inches

= 25 wooden boards

Please help me in this questions....

Part (i)

I'm going to use the notation T(n) instead of $T_n$

To find the first term, we plug in n = 1

T(n) = 2 - 3n

T(1) = 2 - 3(1)

T(1) = -1

The first term is -1

Repeat for n = 2 to find the second term

T(n) = 2 - 3n

T(2) = 2 - 3(2)

T(2) = -4

The second term is -4

<h3>Answers: -1, -4</h3>

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

Part (ii)

Plug in T(n) = -61 and solve for n

T(n) = 2 - 3n

-61 = 2 - 3n

-61-2 = -3n

-63 = -3n

-3n = -63

n = -63/(-3)

n = 21

Note that plugging in n = 21 leads to T(21) = -61, similar to how we computed the items back in part (i).

<h3>Answer: 21st term</h3>

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

Part (iii)

We're given that T(n) = 2 - 3n

Let's compute T(2n). We do so by replacing every copy of n with 2n like so

T(n) = 2 - 3n

T(2n) = 2 - 3(2n)

T(2n) = 2 - 6n

Now subtract T(2n) from T(n)

T(n) - T(2n) = (2-3n) - (2-6n)

T(n) - T(2n) = 2-3n - 2+6n

T(n) - T(2n) = 3n

Then set this equal to 24 and solve for n

T(n) - T(2n) = 24

3n = 24

n = 24/3

n = 8

This means 2n = 2*8 = 16. So subtracting T(8) - T(16) will get us 24.

<h3>Answer: 8</h3>

Tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5 inches are sold in cans of three. The can is a cylinder. What is the volume of the space NOT

katrin2010 [14]

We know that
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*r³------> volume of a tennis ball
for r=2.5/2-----> 1.25 in
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*1.25³------> 8.18 in³
volume of 3 tennis ball=3*8.18-----> 24.54 in³

volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h
r=1.25 in
h=2.5*3-----> 7.5 in
volume of a cylinder=pi*1.25²*7.5-----> 36.82 in³

<span>the volume of the space NOT occupied by the tennis balls=36.82-24.54
</span><span>the volume of the space NOT occupied by the tennis balls=12.28 in</span>³

the answer is
12.3 in³
