X = -7, have a good day !
vivado [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x=−7

Solving for X:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of your equation.

5x−22=7x−8

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

5x−22−7x=7x−8−7x

−2x−22=−8

Step 3: Add 22 to both sides.

−2x−22+22=−8+22

−2x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

^ x = -7

THEREFORE:

x is −7

Can someone help me with this having trouble !
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>Tick:</em>

<em>- the coefficient of the second term is -5</em>

<em>- the coefficient of the fourth term is -10</em>

Explanation:

The coefficient of an expression is simply the number placed before and multiplying the variable (e.g. 10x ; the coefficient is 10, the variable is x)

Hope this makes sense. Feel free to inquire further if need be!

Part 1
svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

A square is inscribed in a circle. If the area of the square is 9 in2, what is the ratio of the circumference of the circle to t
IgorC [24]

The ratio of the circumference of the circle to the perimeter of the square is \pi \sqrt{2}:4

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Area of the square = 9 inch²

If the side length of the square is a, then

a^2 = 9 \\ \\ a= \sqrt{9} =3

So the side length of the square is 3 inch.

Now as the square is inscribed in a circle, so the diagonal of the square will be diameter of the circle.

Length of the diagonal of square = a\sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2} inch

So, the diameter of the circle = 3\sqrt{2} inch

If the radius of the circle is r, then

2r = 3\sqrt{2} \\ \\ r= \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}

Circumference of the circle, 2\pi r= 2\pi *\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}= 3\pi \sqrt{2} inch

and Perimeter of the square, 4a = (4*3)inch= 12 inch

So, the ratio will be: 3\pi \sqrt{2} : 12 = \pi \sqrt{2} : 4
