If a = 4 and 5a(2b – 3a) = 40, what is the value of b?

Mathematics

mamaluj [8]3 years ago

Answer:

b=7

Step-by-step explanation:

5a(2b – 3a) = 40

Let a=4

5*4(2b-3*4) = 40

20(2b-12) = 40

Divide each side by 20

20/20 (2b-12) = 40/20

2b-12 =2

Add 12 to each side

2b-12+12 = 2+12

2b = 14

Divide by 2

2b/2 = 14/2

b = 7

A ship travels 62.5 km in 1st hour of sailing. Starting from 2nd hour, the distance travelled per hour is x% of that in the prec
Bas_tet [7]
Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

C=2(3.14)r; c=14(3.14) solve for r
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

c=2(3.14)r

given c=14(3.14), then r

make r the subject formula and substitute given c=14(3.14)

r=c/2(3.14)

r=14(3.14)/2(3.14)

r=7

A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. The
solniwko [45]

Answer:

f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x

It will take 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.

To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.

Kat plays a surfing video game with a friend. Each player earns 50 points for each trick he performs, but loses 40 points each t
Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of points got from 1 stunt = 50.

No. of points deducted from 1 fail = 40.

6 stunts and 9 falls were gained last week.

So, A/C the number of points earned =

(6×50)-(9×40)

= 300 - 360

= -60

Her score today is 3 times her score from last week so multiply by 3

= (-60) × 3

= -180

If it were multiplied by -3 instead of 3 it would be...

(-60) × (-3)

= 180

The difference would be that on multiplying with positive 3 she would be 180 points in the whole but multiplying with negative three means she is 180 points in the league.

The similarity is that that whole number is same but the symbol adds a difference and the absolute value would be same too.
