Answer:
what is this supposed to mean??
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!
1. x = -1/3 = -0.333
2. x = 5/2 = 2.500
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ± √ 289
x = ——————
12
Can √ 289 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 289 is
17•17
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 289 = √ 17•17 =
± 17 • √ 1 =
± 17
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 13 ± 17) / 12
Two real solutions:
x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500
or
x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333
Two solutions were found :
x = -1/3 = -0.333
x = 5/2 = 2.500
well, the table has 5 points in it, let's pick any two hmmm say let's use hmmm (2 , 7) and (6 , 17)

when x = 0, from the table, y = 2, so there's the y-intercept.
Answer:
Since the difference between the value for each year is constant, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Step-by-step explanation:
Year 2 - Year 1 = 21,750 - 20,000 = 1,750
Year 3 - Year 2 = 23,500 - 21,750 = 1,750
Year 4 - Year 3 = Year 5 - Year 4 = 1,750
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 9
---- = ----
16 x
Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)
Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or
x= plus or minus 12
Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
