Answer:

$12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12)$

$12x + 24 = 3(4x + 8)$

$12x + 24 = 4(3x + 6)$

$12x + 24 = 6(2x + 4)$

$12x + 24 = 12(x + 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$12x + 24$

Required

Equivalent expressions

No option were given; So, I will list out some possible equivalent expressions.

Using distributive property:

$AB + AC = A*(B + C)$

So, we have:

$12x + 24 = 2*6x + 2 * 12$

$12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12)$ ----- (1)

Another:

$12x + 24 = 3*4x + 3 * 8$

$12x + 24 = 3(4x + 8)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 4*3x + 4*6$

$12x + 24 = 4(3x + 6)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 6*2x + 6*4$

$12x + 24 = 6(2x + 4)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 12*x + 12*2$

$12x + 24 = 12(x + 2)$

Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x$

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Am I dealing with harmonic stuff (trig)?

pochemuha

You just need to solve for when $y=0$ :

$\dfrac{\cos8t-9\sin8t}4=0\implies\cos8t-9\sin8t=0$

$\implies\cos8t=9\sin8t$

$\implies\dfrac19=\dfrac{\sin8t}{\cos8t}=\tan8t$

$\implies8t=\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+n\pi$

$\implies t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac{n\pi}8$

where $n$ is any integer. We only care about when $0\le t\le1$ , which happens for $n\in\{0,1,2\}$ .

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19\approx0.01$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi8\approx0.41$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi4\approx0.80$

The outdoor furniture center buys wooden benches for $50 each. The furniture store owner adds a %200 markup to the cost of the b

vlada-n [284]

The answer is very simple:

$50 multiplied by 2 (Cause it's 200%) equals to $100
$50 multiplied by 1,2 (Cause it's 120%) equals to $60
Then, you just do the substractions, so you get $40.

What is this just tell me what the L AND W ='s please

andreyandreev [35.5K]

You didn't show us much of the page with the question on it,
so we can't be sure of exactly what you're working on in math.

If you're working with things like squares and rectangles, then
'L' and 'W' are often used to represent the Length and Width of
shapes drawn on paper, or even Length and Width of 3D objects
like blocks or boxes.

Jacob makes a scale drawing for a crate with a scale

olga55 [171]

Answer:

6 inches long and 4 inches wide

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the actual crate are 20 times those on Jacob's drawing. The dimensions on the builder's drawing are 1/10 of those, so (1/10)(20) = 2 times the dimensions on Jacob's drawing.

The dimensions on the builder's scale drawing are 6 inches long by 4 inches wide.
