Ise the terms 4, 12a, 6, 2a, and 24 to make equivalent expressions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

12a + 24 = 6(2a + 4) is the equivalent expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the terms ; 4, 12a, 6, 2a, and 24

There are two terms with unknown = 12a and 2a

but 12a = 2a x 6 .........(1)

from the last term = 24 = 6 x 4 ...........(2)

add both equation 1 and 2 = 12a + 24

12a + 24 = 6(2a + 4) is the equivalent expressions .

to VERIFY; Use a = 2

substitute into the expression ; LHS = RHS

= 12(2) + 24 = 24 + 24 = 48 (LHS)

FOR RHS = 6(2a+4) = 6(2x2 + 4)

= 6(4+4) = 48

Hence LHS = RHS

How do I do this activity?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

In the X column put 1, 2, and 3

for the y column, plug in the 1, 2, or 3 into the X

for example, a) y=5x+3  

x= 1, 2, 3                 y=5(1)+3 = 8

y= 8, 13, 18

Each inhabitant of a remote village always tells the truth or always lies. A villager willgive only a ""Yes"" or ""No"" response
pshichka [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually a very old riddle, but it is two guards and two doors life death .

So let's apply the same logic to this one.

You only meet one villager and you don't know if he is one of the ones who only tells the truth or always lies, to answer this riddle, the question is actually to an hypothetical third party, another villager, not present, this is a little convoluted so bear with me:

(Pointing to one of the roads): If I asked another villager if this road would lead me to the ruins, would he be correct?

If the villager is a truth one, the true-villager, would tell you that the liar-villager would say no (thus leading you to the jungle).

  • Let's analyze this one, so the villager always tells the truth, and you happen to be pointing to the right direction (ruins), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the right direction, a liar would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the other road as the correct (jungle), so the true-villager will say no
  • If you happen to be pointing to the wrong direction (jungle), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the wrong direction, the truth-villager would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the wrong road as the correct (jungle), so the villager will say no

Therefore, no matter what villager you run into, the question will always lead you to the jungle, and therefore you pick the other road.

Find the point on the parabola y^2 = 4x that is closest to the point (2, 8).
guapka [62]

Answer:

(4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to go at this:

  1. Write an expression for the distance from a point on the parabola to the given point, then differentiate that and set the derivative to zero.
  2. Find the equation of a normal line to the parabola that goes through the given point.

1. The distance formula tells us for some point (x, y) on the parabola, the distance d satisfies ...

... d² = (x -2)² +(y -8)² . . . . . . . the y in this equation is a function of x

Differentiating with respect to x and setting dd/dx=0, we have ...

... 2d(dd/dx) = 0 = 2(x -2) +2(y -8)(dy/dx)

We can factor 2 from this to get

... 0 = x -2 +(y -8)(dy/dx)

Differentiating the parabola's equation, we find ...

... 2y(dy/dx) = 4

... dy/dx = 2/y

Substituting for x (=y²/4) and dy/dx into our derivative equation above, we get

... 0 = y²/4 -2 +(y -8)(2/y) = y²/4 -16/y

... 64 = y³ . . . . . . multiply by 4y, add 64

... 4 = y . . . . . . . . cube root

... y²/4 = 16/4 = x = 4

_____

2. The derivative above tells us the slope at point (x, y) on the parabola is ...

... dy/dx = 2/y

Then the slope of the normal line at that point is ...

... -1/(dy/dx) = -y/2

The normal line through the point (2, 8) will have equation (in point-slope form) ...

... y - 8 = (-y/2)(x -2)

Substituting for x using the equation of the parabola, we get

... y - 8 = (-y/2)(y²/4 -2)

Multiplying by 8 gives ...

... 8y -64 = -y³ +8y

... y³ = 64 . . . . subtract 8y, multiply by -1

... y = 4 . . . . . . cube root

... x = y²/4 = 4

The point on the parabola that is closest to the point (2, 8) is (4, 4).

Solve for x. Enter your answer below as a fraction in lowest terms, using the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{80}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + \frac{9}{20} = \frac{9}{16}

Multiply through by 80 ( the LCM of 20 and 16 ) to clear the fractions

80x + 36 = 45 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

80x = 9 ( divide both sides by 80 )

x = \frac{9}{80}
