Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x -8 = 34
4x = 42
x = 42/4 = 21/2 = 10.5
Answer:
186.5 + 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, radify 25. Luckily it's a perfect square so it will be 5.
Second, divide within the parentheses. You're expression should look like this.
(93-5+x+42/8)2
Divide 42/8. The decimal form would be 5.25, while the fraction should be 5 1/4.
Third, solve within the parentheses from left to right. Right now you're expression should look like this:
(93-5+x+5.25)2
Add all like terms
93-5+5.25=93.25
Fourth, multiply. Right now the expression should look like this:
(93.25 + x) 2
186.5 + 2x
The correct answers are: 1/2, 2 and -2.
To get this, factor f(x)
f(x)=2x^3-x^2-8x+4
f(x)= (2x^3-x^2) - (8x -4)
f(x)= (2x-1)(x^2) + (2x-1)(-4)
f(x)= (2x-1)(x^2-4)
f(x)= (2x-1)(x-2)(x+2)
2x-1=0
2x=1
x=1/2
x-2=0
x=2
x+2=0
x=-2
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow
_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
