Mathematics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em><u>Pull out like factors: </u></em>

-4x - 13  =   -1 • (4x + 13)

  • <em><u>Equation at the end of step 2: </u></em>

 -178 -  (-5x +  -4 • [4x + 13] )  = 0

  • <em><u>Pull out like factors: </u></em>

  21x - 126  =   21 • (x - 6)

  • <em><u>Equation at the end of step 4: </u></em>

 21 • (x - 6)  = 0

  • <em><u>Solve:</u></em>

x-6 = 0  

  • <em><u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation:</u></em>

x = 6

A guy-wire is attached to a pole for support. If the angle of elevation to the pole is 67° and the wire is attached to the groun
vovangra [49]
You have to go at this in a round-about fashion...by finding the length of the leg across from the 67 degree angle.  This is found by using the tangent ratio...Tan(67)=x/137; x=137tan(67) = 322.8. Now you can use this in one of two ways: use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse OR you could use the sin67=322.8/x.  Up to you. Either way, make sure you have your calculator in degree mode!

Ten less than five times a number is less than six times the number decreased by eight
Luden [163]

10 - 5x < 6x - 8

We can treat this inequality like a normal algebraic equation.

<em><u>Add 5x to both sides</u></em>

10 < 11x - 8

<em><u>Add 8 to both sides</u></em>

18 < 11x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 11</u></em>

1.64 < x

X is greater than the value 1.64.

Let's plug the number 2 into each value of x to verify.

10 - 5x < 6x - 8

10 - 5*2) < (6 * 2) - 8

10 - 10 < 12 - 8

0 < 4

It's correct.

Now let's plug 1, which is less than 1.64.

10 - 5x < 6x - 8

10 - 5 < 6 - 8

5 < -2

This is not correct, which means that our answer was correct.

Identify the remainder when x3 - 3x2 - 9x is divided by x - 6.
kiruha [24]

Let p(x) be any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and let 'a' be any real number. If a polynomial p(x) is divided by x - a then the remainder is p(a). Hence by the remainder theorem, 0 is the remainder when x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by x + 1.
