3(2ax-10)=24x+5b work out the values of a and b

Mathematics
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a=4

b=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2ax-10)=24x+5b

6ax - 30 = 24x + 5b

6a = 24

a = 4

5b = -30

b = -6

check: 3(2*4*x - 10) = 24x - 30 = 24x + 5 * (-6) = 24x - 30

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 32 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The rug should be 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a figure that represents the situation.

The the rug is l by h, the width of the strip of floor is w.

We are told that Cynthia can only afford 420 square feet of carpeting; therefore, it must be that

l*h=420 <em>(this says the area of the rug must be 420 square feet)</em>

From the figure we see that

l= 32-2w

h=19-2w

Therefore,

l*h=420\\\\(32-2w)(19-2w)=420

We expand this equation and get:

4w^2-102w+608=420\\\\4w^2-102w+188=0

using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:

w=2\\w=23.5

since the second solution, namely w=23.5, is larger than one of the dimensions of the room (is greater than 19 ft) it cannot be the width of the strip; therefore, we take w=2 to be our solution.

Now we find the dimensions of the rug:

l=32-2(2)=28\\\\h=19-2(2)=15

The rug is 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.

What’s the domain and range of this graph?
avanturin [10]

Given:

The graph of a downward parabola.

To find:

The domain and range of the graph.

Solution:

Domain is the set of x-values or input values and range is the set of y-values or output values.

The graph represents a downward parabola and domain of a downward parabola is always the set of real numbers because they are defined for all real values of x.

Domain = R

Domain = (-∞,∞)

The maximum point of a downward parabola is the vertex. The range of the downward parabola is always the set of all real number which are less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.

From the graph it is clear that the vertex of the parabola is at point (5,-4). So, value of function cannot be greater than -4.

Range = All real numbers less than or equal to -4.

Range =  (-∞,-4]

Therefore, the domain of the graph is (-∞,∞) and the range of the graph is (-∞,-4].

The expression below is the factorization of what trinomial-1(x+5)(x+6)
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

-x^2 - 11x -30

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using foiling. Ignore the -1 to begin with and just look at the part in parenthesis. Do x from the first parenthesis times the stuff in the second parenthesis.

ie: x(x) and x(6)

ie: x^2 + 6x

Then do the 5 times the things in the second parenthesis.

ie: 5(x) and 5(6)

ie: 5x + 30

Then add what you got from multiplying the first value to what you got from multiplying the second.

ie: x^2 + 11x + 30

This is a trinomial because it has three different variables. Now change all the signs to negative because of the -1 out front.

ie: -x^2 - 11x -30
