14. Emma is building a scale model of a jet airplane. The real airplane has a wingspan of 200 feet and a length of 240 feet.

I am thinking of a number. i will add four and then multiply it by five. the answer will be thirty five. whats the number?

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation for this. Our unknown number is x.

x

We are adding 4.

x + 4

Then multiplying by 5.

(x + 4) • 5

It will equal 35.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

To solve this, divide both sides by 5.

(x + 4) = 7

Now subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 3

This is your answer.

Check this by plugging it back into our original equation.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

(3 + 4) • 5 = 35

7 • 5 = 35

35 = 35

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

Can somewon help me plz can somewon help me

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at our diameters.

$1*10^2^1\\5*10^2^2$

We want to see how many times greater the diameter of the IC 1101 is than the Milky Way. So, we will divide it's diameter by the diameter of the Milky Way.

$\frac{5*10^2^2}{1*10^2^1} \\$

We divide the numbers without exponents, giving us 5. Then, we divide the 10s with exponents. When dividing exponents, you subtract the numbers in the exponent to get your result. For example, x³÷x²=x

$\frac{5*10^2^2}{1*10^2^1} = 5*10=50$
