Answer:

2) 2x = y + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to translate the given information into an equation. We don't know what the numbers are yet, so let the first number be represented by the variable x and the second number be represented by the variable y.

Start by breaking the sentence apart. "2 times the first number" gives us $2x$ . The "is" in the sentence means that $2x$ equals something, bringing us to $2x =$ . Finally, it says "13 more than the second number." 13 more would mean you have to add to the second number, represented by y, so this gives us $y + 13\\$ . Put it all together and it is $2x = y + 13\\$ .

2x^3-x^2+x-2 factorize

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize:

$f(x)=2x^3-x^2+x-2$

<u>Factor Theorem</u>

If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

Substitute x = 1 into the function:

$\implies f(1)=2(1)^3-1^2+1-2=0$

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.

As the polynomial is cubic:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(ax^2+bx+c)$

Expanding the brackets:

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx-ax^2-bx-c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+(b-a)x^2+(c-b)x-c$

Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:

$\implies ax^3=2x^3 \implies a=2$

$\implies (b-a)x^2=-x^2 \implies b-2=-1 \implies b=1$

$\implies -c=-2 \implies c=2$

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Cannot be factored any further.

Complete each trinomial such that it can be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2 or a(x-b)^2

scoundrel [369]

The value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>

Given the quadratic expressions

1.5x^2+6x+......

1.5(x^2 + 4x)

Using the completing the square method

The coefficient of x = 4

Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2

The square of the result = 2^2 = 4

The equation is expressed as:

f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4

f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Hence the value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Which property is demonstrated below?<br> a + b = b + a

Contact [7]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.

A collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes, and quarters has a total value of $3.35. If the dimes were nickels, the

Kay [80]

Answer: The required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes and quarters has a total value of $3.35.

If the dimes were nickels, the nickels were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the collection of coins would have a total value of $2.75.

We are to find the number of quarters in the collection.

Let x, y and z represents the number of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively in the collection.

We will be using the following values of nickels, dimes and quarters in form of dollar :

1 nickel = $ 0.05, 1 dime = $ 0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y+z=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=20-y-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=3.35\\\\\Rightarrow 5x+10y+25z=335\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y+5z=67~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\0.05y+0.25x+0.10z=2.75\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+25x+10z=275\\\\\Rightarrow y+2z+5x=55~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equations (ii) and (iii), we have

$(20-y-z)+2y+5z=67\\\\\Rightarrow y+4z=47\\\\\Rightarrow y=47-4z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)$

and

$y+2z+5(20-y-z)=55\\\\\Rightarrow -4y-3z=-45\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(v)$

Comparing the values of y from equations (iv) and (v), we get

$47-4z=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 188-16z=45-3z\\\\\Rightarrow 16z-3z=188-45\\\\\Rightarrow 13z=143\\\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{143}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow z=11.$

Thus, the required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

I need help asap!!!

valentina_108 [34]

The answer is (7,6)

This is because a midpoint is in the exact middle, meaning that both sides are an equal distance away. You can find this by fining the difference between the two corresponding coordinates then adding that difference to the midpoint and that will give you your other endpoint.

Hope this helped !!
