Complete Question:

The output equals 1 less than three times the input

Write and solve any equation to find input when the output is -3

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

x = -⅔ when y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the input with x and the output with y.

First, we need to write out the output as a function of the input.

[Three times the input] implies 3 * x

[1 less than this] implies 3*x - 1

The above expression is said to be the output.

So,

y = 3 * x - 1

y = 3x - 1

The next part of the question is to solve for x when y = -3

Substitute -3 for y in y = 3x - 1

-3 = 3x - 1

Collect Like Terms

3x = 1 - 3

3x = -2

Solve for x

x = -⅔

Use the discriminate to determine the number and the nature of the solutions of the giving equation.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2+12x=7

We need to subtract 7 to get it in the proper form

4x^2+12x-7=7-7

4x^2+12x-7=0

The discriminant is b^2 -4ac

when the equation is ax^2 +bx+c

so a =4   b=12 and c=-7

(12)^2 - 4(4)(-7)

144 +112

256

If b^2 -4ac > 0 we have 2 real distinct roots

If b^2 -4ac = 0 we have one real root

If b^2 -4ac < 0 we have two complex root

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

A single tennis court is 75% the width of a doubles tennis court. The singles court is 27 feet wide. How wide is the doubles cou
grandymaker [24]
X = 75% * y

Where 'x' is the single tennis court width, and 'y' is the doubles tennis court width.

Plug in what we know:

27 = 75% * y

75% = 0.75

27 = 0.75 * y

27 = 0.75y

Divide 0.75 to both sides:

y = 36

So the doubles court is 36 feet wide.
