3|2a - 4| = 0 idk how to find the absolute value when the equation = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a - 4 = 0 \\ 2a = 4 \\ a = 2

In order to get 0, you have to multiple 3 with 0, so that means that 2a-4 has to equal 0.

Anna wants to factor the polynomial p(x)=5x^4+40x. She knows that the sum of cubes formula is a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2−ab+b^2).
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Part A:  Option 2, A: Anna’s answer is incorrect. She correctly factored out 5x, but incorrectly identified a and b, so her answer cannot be correct.

Part B:  Option 3, B: 5x(x+2)(x^2−2x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 5x^4 + 40x

p(x) = 5x(x^3 + 8)

p(x) = 5x(x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 4)

Part A:  Option 2, A: Anna’s answer is incorrect. She correctly factored out 5x, but incorrectly identified a and b, so her answer cannot be correct.

Part B:  Option 3, B: 5x(x+2)(x^2−2x+4)

To answer this, set up a system of equations. What we know is that

5x + 2y = 100
And...
x+y=38

x represents the unknown number of 5 points questions
y represents the unknown number of 2 point questions

In my opinion the easiest way to solve this is to use substitution (that is when you find out the value of one variable, either x or y, and substitute that value as the variable).

So,

x+y=38

Subtract x from both sides

y=38-x

Now, plug (38-x) in as y in the other equation.

5x + 2(38-x) = 100
5x + 76-2x= 100
3x+76=100
3x=24
x=8

Now that you know that x=8, you can solve for y.

5x+2y=100
5(8)+2y=100
40+2y=100
2y=60
---- ------
2 2
y=30


X=8
Y=30

There are 8 five point questions on the test and 30 two point questions on the test

Tara wants to minimize her need for student loans. Identify three factors Tara should consider to minimize her student loans, bu
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Tara should consider colleges with lower expected total costs.

She should consider living at home to avoid room and board costs.

She should create a savings plan.

She should maximize scholarship potential.

Step-by-step explanation:

  Tara should consider colleges with lower total costs, and also consider living in her parents' home to avoid room and board costs, as this would allow her to continue studying on a low budget.

  You should create a savings plan, if you have some money saved, this allows you to earn interest to help pay for your studies.

  You should maximize the potential of the scholarships, learning about all those you can apply to and managing your resources to acquire them.

Problem: Report Error Two parallel chords in a circle have lengths 10 and 14, and the distance between them is 6. The chord para
charle [14.2K]

The value of \sqrt{a} = 2\sqrt{46} and a = 184

We let O be the centre, A₁ A A₂ , B₁ B B₂ represent the chords with length 10, 14 respectively.

Connecting the endpoints of the chords with the centre, we have several right triangles. However, we do not know whether the two chords are on the same side or different sides of the centre of the circle.

By the Pythagorean Theorem on Δ OBB₁,

we get x^2 + 7^2 = r^2

⇒ x = \sqrt{r^{2} - 49 }, where x is the length of the other leg. Now the length of the leg of Δ OAA₁ is either 6 + x or 6 - x depending whether or not A₁A₂, B₁B₂ are on the same side of the center of the circle:

                               (6 ± \sqrt{r^{2} - 49 } ) + 5²  =  r²

                                 12 ± 12 \sqrt{r^{2} - 49} = 0

Only the negative works here (thus the two chords are on opposite sides of the center), and solving we get x=1, r =5\sqrt{2}. The leg formed in the right triangle with the third chord is 3 - x = 2, and by the Pythagorean Theorem again,

(\frac{a}{2} )^{2}  + 2^{2}  = (5\sqrt{2} )^{2} \\

⇒ \sqrt{a} = 2\sqrt{46}

a = 184
