Answer:

-Noah could buy 10 tacos for $15.

-Jada's tacos were not the same price as Noah's tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a rule of three to find the amount of tacos that Noah could buy with $15:

$6 → 4

$15 → x

x=(15*4)/6=10

At this rate, Noah could buy 10 tacos for $15.

Now, to find out if Jada's tacos were the same price as Noah's tacos, you have to find the price per taco in each case by dividing the amount paid by the number of tacos bought:

Noah: 15/10=1.5

Jada: 72/50=1.44

According to this, Jada's tacos were not the same price as Noah's tacos.

The average of 6 numbers is 7. When a 7th number is addedThe average of all numbers is 0. What is the seventh number?

Katena32 [7]

-- The average of 6 numbers is 7.
    So those 6 numbers must add up to 42.

-- If one more number results in an average of zero,
   the new number must be -42 .
   Then all 7 numbers add up to zero.

Find an m > 0 such that the the equation x^4−(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0 has four real solutions that form an arithmetic sequence.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The value of m is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation,

$x^4-(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0$

$x^4+0x^3-(3m+2)x^2+0x+m^2=0$

Let the roots of the equation are a-3b, a-b, a+b and a + 3b, ( they must be form an AP )

Thus, we can write,

$a-3b+a-b+a+b+a+3b=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^3}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}$

$=\frac{0}{1}=0$

$\implies a=0----(1)$

$(-3b)(-b)+(-b)(b)+(b)(3b)+(3b)(-3b)+(-b)(3b)+(-3b)(b)=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^2}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}}$

$=\frac{-3m-2}{1}$

$3b^2-b^2+3b^2-9b^2-3b^2-3b^2=-3m-2$

$-10b^2=-3m-2$

$\implies b^2=\frac{3m+2}{10}-----(2)$

$(-3b)(-b)(b)(3b)=\frac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{coefficient of}x^4}= m^2$

$9b^4=m^2$

$9(\frac{3m+2}{10})^2=m^2$

$9(\frac{9m^2+4+12m}{100})=m^2$

$81m^2+36+108m=100m^2$

$-19m^2+108m+36=0$

$19m^2-108m-36=0$

$19m^2-114m+6m-36=0$

$19m(m-6)+6(m-6)=0$

$(19m+6)(m-6)=0$

$\implies m=-\frac{6}{19}\text{ or }m=6$

But m > 0,

Hence, the value of m is 6.

What does slope mean in math?What does slope mean in math?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most important things to understand about lines is the definition of slope. Slope is the 'steepness' of the line, also commonly known as rise over run. We can calculate slope by dividing the change in the y-value between two points over the change in the x-value.
