Solve this equation: 8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. Solving this equation results in the statement -48 = 48. Because this is a false statement, the equation has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8)

24x - 48 = 24x + 48

minus 24x from both sides and you get -48 = 48

A false statement means one side does not equal the other. False statement always means no solution

you can solve this equation for x, but looking at the answers it's not what the question is asking for

Can someone please help me: Slove 17+3(z-2)-11z=-7(z+2)+14
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

z = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17 + 3(z + -2) + -11z = -7(z + 2) + 14

Reorder the terms:

17 + 3(-2 + z) + -11z = -7(z + 2) + 14

17 + (-2 * 3 + z * 3) + -11z = -7(z + 2) + 14

17 + (-6 + 3z) + -11z = -7(z + 2) + 14

Combine like terms: 17 + -6 = 11

11 + 3z + -11z = -7(z + 2) + 14

Combine like terms: 3z + -11z = -8z

11 + -8z = -7(z + 2) + 14

Reorder the terms:

11 + -8z = -7(2 + z) + 14

11 + -8z = (2 * -7 + z * -7) + 14

11 + -8z = (-14 + -7z) + 14

Reorder the terms:

11 + -8z = -14 + 14 + -7z

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0

11 + -8z = 0 + -7z

11 + -8z = -7z

Solving

11 + -8z = -7z

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7z' to each side of the equation.

11 + -8z + 7z = -7z + 7z

Combine like terms: -8z + 7z = -1z

11 + -1z = -7z + 7z

Combine like terms: -7z + 7z = 0

11 + -1z = 0

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.

11 + -11 + -1z = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0

0 + -1z = 0 + -11

-1z = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 0 + -11 = -11

-1z = -11

Divide each side by '-1'.

z = 11

Simplifying

z = 11

Which of these values for p and a will cause the function f(x)=Pax to be an exponential growth function
vovikov84 [41]

The option are missing in the question. The options are :

A.  P = 2, a = 1

B.  $P=\frac{1}{2} ;  a =\frac{1}{3}$

C. $P=\frac{1}{2} ;  a =1$

D. P = 2, a = 3

Solution :

The given function is $f(x)= Pa^x$

So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.

When the four option being substituted in the function, we get

A). It is a constant function since $2(1^x)=2$

B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function. $f(x)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x$

C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.

D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.

  $f(x)=2(3)^x$

Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.

A semicircle is inscribed in an isosceles triangle with base 16 and height 15 so that the
ira [324]

Answer:

  7 1/17

Step-by-step explanation:

A figure can be helpful.

The inscribed semicircle has its center at the midpoint of th base. It is tangent to the side of the isosceles triangle, so a radius makes a 90° angle there.

The long side of the isosceles triangle can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

  BC² = BD² +CD²

  BC² = 8² +15² = 289

  BC = √289 = 17

The radius mentioned (DE) creates right triangles that are similar to ∆BCD. In particular, we have ...

  (long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/BD = CD/BC

  DE = BD·CD/BC = 8·15/17

  DE = 7 1/17 ≈ 7.059
