Consider the equation 4x + 1 = 2x + 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darya [45]3 years ago
8 0

(a) Without solving the equation we can't determine whether its true or false.

(b) If x = 3

4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4(3) + 1 = 2(3) + 5

12 + 1 = 15 + 5

13 = 20

No, if x = 3, the equation will not be true.

(c) 4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4x - 2x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

This shows that x = 2 makes the equation true.

If a+1,2a+1,4a-1 are in A.P, then the value of a is
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In an AP  the difference between consecutive terms is common (equal), thus

t₂ - t₁ = t₃ - t₂ , that is

2a + 1 - (a + 1) = 4a - 1 - (2a + 1) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2a + 1 - a - 1 = 4a - 1 - 2a - 1

a = 2a - 2 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

For each situation below, write the equation of the line and explain how you can tell.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Has a slope of 2 and passes through (10,17)

Using the slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

17 = 2(10)+b

17 = 20+b

Subtract 20 from each side

17-20 =b

-3 =b

y = 2x-3

b. passes through (1,-4) and (2,-5)

First find the slope

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-5- -4)/(2-1)

  = (-5+4)/(2-1)

  = -1/1

  = -1

Using the slope intercept form

y = -x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

-4 = -1(1) +b

-4 = -1+b

Add 1 to each side

-3 = b

y = -x+3

The amounts of household waste generated in a region during two years were 23,400,000 tons and 48,100,000 tons. What was the tot
trasher [3.6K]

The first step to do is to calculate first the total household waste generate for the two years. That is:

total waste generated = 23,400,000 tons + 48,100,000 tons

total waste generated = 71,500,000 tons

 

Now, to write either a very big number or a very small number in a form of scientific notation simply means to write it in a decimal form such as: 12.5 * 10^10

 

Now to write 71,500,000 in scientific notation, the decimal form is 7.15, however we still need to find out the * 10^n factor. The value of n depends on the number of places the decimal point was moved. If the movement was from right to left, the value of n is positive and if the movement was from right to left, the value of n is negative. Since the decimal point was moved by 7 places, hence the complete scientific notation is:

 

7.15 * 10^7 tons
