What is the solution of the equation m - 8 = -14?

2 answers:

8 0

M - 8 = -14
(You need to get rid of the -8 because you want the letter on its own, so to get rid of it you add 8 to both sides)
m= -14 + 8
m = -6

Answer: m=-6

Good idea to review quadratic functions and the quadratic formula.

Quadratics have three coefficients: ax² + bx + c, and the "discriminant" is defined as b²-4ac. Please review these rules:

1) if the discriminant is +, the quadratic equation has two real, unequal roots.

2) if the disc. is 0, the equation has two real, equal root.

3) If the disc. is - , the equation has two complex roots.

Here a = 1, b = -3 and c = 4. Therefore the discriminant is (-3)²-4(1)(4), or

-7. Rule 3) applies: the equation has two complex roots, but no real ones. Thus we know that the graph does not cross the x-axis.

Graphing the given quadratic, x² - 3x + 4, using a dashed "line," is helpful. As you can see in the illustration of this graph, the graph neither touches nor crosses the x-axis. Thus, y = x² - 3x + 4 is greater than 0 for all x. The answer: All real numbers.

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3,5) which is perpendicular to the line y=3x+2

Levart [38]

Answer:

the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given line be A: y=3x+2

The slope of line A is m = 3.

The slope of any line B which is perpendicular to line A is the negative reciprocal of the slope of A: m = -(1/3).

The particular perpendicular line that passes through (3, 5) is then

5 = (-1/3)(3) + b, which simplifies to 5 = -1 + b, or b = 6.

Thus, the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6

A cylinder contain 150.8 cubic units of water. What is the minimum radius of a sphere that will hold the water? Round to nearest

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

70 because you would divide 150.8 by 2 and it gives you 75.4 but you have to round it and do v=4/3×3.14×70^3

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of an isoceles trapezoid and one

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

the total area is 15.6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

you can find the total area dividing the shape into two known shapes

total area= area of the trapezoid +area of the semicircle

then

step one

find the area of the isosceles trapezoid using

$A=\frac{a+b}{2}*h$

where

a is the smaller base

b is the bigger base

h is theheight

A is the area

let

a=2

b=5

h=4

put the values into the equation

$A=\frac{a+b}{2}*h\\A=\frac{5+2}{2}*4\\A=3.5*4\\A=14$

Step two

find the area of the semicircle

the area of a circle is given by

$A_{c}=\pi \frac{d^{2}}{4}\\$

but, we need the area of half circle, we need divide this by 2

$A_{semic}=\frac{ \pi \frac{d^{2}}{4}}{2}\\A_{semic}= \pi \frac{d^{2}}{8}$

now the diameter of the semicircle is 2, put this value into the equation

$A_{semic}= \pi \frac{2^{2}}{8}\\\\A_{semic}= \pi \frac{1}{2}\\ A_{semic}=\frac{\pi }{2}\\$

find the total area

total area= area of the trapezoid +area of the semicircle

$total\ area= 14+\frac{\pi }{2} \\total\ area=15.6$

so, the total area is 15.6 square units

Have a good day.

What is the slope of 2x+3y=15

Fynjy0 [20]

Note that the slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b

First, set the equation as such

2x (-2x) + 3y = (- 2x) + 15

3y = -2x + 15

Isolate the y. Divide 3 from both sides

(3y)/3 = (-2x + 15)/3

y = (-2/3)x + 5

-2/3 is your slope

hope this helps
