1.
2x+7=2x-7
2x-2x=-7-7
0=-14
Math error.

2.
3x+8=-2x+8
3x+2x=8-8
5x=0
x=0

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

Answer:

Consider left and right sides of the equations as linear functions.

Then:

1. The equation 1 has lines with the same slope (2) but different y-intercepts (7 and -7), therefore the lines are parallel and no solution.
2. The lines have different slopes (3 and 2), therefore they intersect and there is one solution.
3. After opening the parenthesis we get both sides same, meaning the lines are same and overlap. The equation has infinitely many solutions.

I need help on this math problem

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

for the first one, simply add g(x) and h(x) :

x+3 + 4x+1 = 5x + 4

the second one, you would multiply them :

(x+3)(4x+1) = 4x^2 + 13x + 3

the last one, you would subtract :

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

and then substitute 2 for 'x' :

-3*2 + 2 = -6 + 2 = -4

The math question is on the image find the nth term of the sequence

Rus_ich [418]

Notice how Pattern 2 is Pattern 1 with 4 balls added in the bottom row.

Pattern 3 is Pattern 2 with 5 more balls.

Pattern 4 is Pattern 3 with 6 more balls.

Generalizing the trend, we expect Pattern $n$ to be identical to Pattern $n-1$ with $n+2$ more balls.

If $b_n$ is the number of balls in the $n$ -th pattern, then we have the recursive relation

$\begin{cases} b_1 = 6 \\ b_n = b_{n-1} + n + 2 & \text{for } n>1 \end{cases}$

We can solve this recurrence by substitution. Using the definition of $b_n$ , we have

$b_{n-1} = b_{n-2} + (n-1) + 2 \\\\ \implies b_n = (b_{n-2} + (n-1) + 2) + n + 2 \\\\ \implies b_n = b_{n-2} + 2\times2 + \bigg(n + (n-1)\bigg)$

$b_{n-2} = b_{n-3} + (n-2) + 2 \\\\ \implies b_n = (b_{n-3} + (n-2) + 2) + 2\times 2 + \bigg(n + (n-1)\bigg) \\\\ \implies b_n = b_{n-3} + 3\times2 + \bigg(n + (n-1) + (n-2)\bigg)$
