Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
You're goal is to isolate b by itself. The only part you need to worry about is the equation, the rest of the word problem is irrelevant.
The whole process of solving this is to do PEMDAS in reverse.
So first add/subtract all the values that does not have a <em>b</em> attach to it to the other side.
then multiply/divide all the values that is not a <em>b</em> to get the b-value by itself
Answer:
The value of k is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
x – 1 is a factor of f(x)
This means that:
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
That means that when . We use this to find the value of k.
f(x) = 3x^3 - 4x + k
The value of k is 1.
Answer:
where y is positive.
The 2y in the denominator is not inside the fourth root
==================================================
Work Shown:
The idea is to get something of the form in the denominator. In this case,
To be able to reach the , your teacher gave the hint to multiply top and bottom by
For more examples, search out "rationalizing the denominator".
Keep in mind that only works if y isn't negative.
If y could be negative, then we'd have to say . The absolute value bars ensure the result is never negative.
Furthermore, to avoid dividing by zero, we can't have y = 0. So all of this works as long as y > 0.
