Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so u group like term

5x=27-22 ( because u are moving a positive number to the other side of the = sign

5x=5 ( u divide the numbers with the number with the varible or alphabet)

so x = 1

Given the equation, 5x + 22 = 27:

The goal is to isolate the variable. Hence, a few mathematical operations are necessary to solve for the value of x.

Start by subtracting 22 both sides:
5x + 22 - 22 = 27 - 22
5x + 0 = 5
5x = 5

Next, divide both sides by 5 to isolate and solve for the value of x:

5x/5 = 5/5

x = 1

In order to verify whether x = 1 satisfies the give equation, we must substitute its value into the given equation:

5x + 22 = 27

5(1) + 22 = 27
5 + 22 = 27
27 = 27 (True statement. This implies that x = 1 is the correct value that satisfies the equation).

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.

Round 287.9412 to the nearest tenth. Do not write extra zeros.

goldenfox [79]

Salutations!

Round 287.9412 to the nearest tenth.

Lets solve this!

To round to the nearest tenth, you need to know the tenth place--------

In the number, 287.9412, nine is in the tenth place. You need also make sure whether the number next to 9 is greater than 5 or not.

287.9412 =287.941=287.94=287.9=288=290

Thus, your answer is 290.

Hope I helped.

Ples help me find slant assemtotes

FrozenT [24]

A polynomial asymptote is a function $p(x)$ such that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\pm\infty}(f(x)-p(x))=0$

$(y+1)^2=4xy\implies y(x)=2x-1\pm2\sqrt{x^2-x}$

Since this equation defines a hyperbola, we expect the asymptotes to be lines of the form $p(x)=ax+b$ .

Ignore the negative root (we don't need it). If $y=2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}$ , then we want to find constants $a,b$ such that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-ax-b)=0$

We have

$\sqrt{x^2-x}=\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$
$\sqrt{x^2-x}=|x|\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$
$\sqrt{x^2-x}=x\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$

since $x\to\infty$ forces us to have $x>0$ . And as $x\to\infty$ , the $\dfrac1x$ term is "negligible", so really $\sqrt{x^2-x}\approx x$ . We can then treat the limand like

$2x-1+2x-ax-b=(4-a)x-(b+1)$

which tells us that we would choose $a=4$ . You might be tempted to think $b=-1$ , but that won't be right, and that has to do with how we wrote off the "negligible" term. To find the actual value of $b$ , we have to solve for it in the following limit.

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-4x-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(\sqrt{x^2-x}-x)=\frac{b+1}2$

We write

$(\sqrt{x^2-x}-x)\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}=\dfrac{(x^2-x)-x^2}{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}=-\dfrac x{x\sqrt{1-\frac1x}+x}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{1-\frac1x}+1}$

Now as $x\to\infty$ , we see this expression approaching $-\dfrac12$ , so that

$-\dfrac12=\dfrac{b+1}2\implies b=-2$

So one asymptote of the hyperbola is the line $y=4x-2$ .

The other asymptote is obtained similarly by examining the limit as $x\to-\infty$ .

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-ax-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-2x\sqrt{1-\frac1x}-ax-(b+1))=0$

Reduce the "negligible" term to get

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(-ax-(b+1))=0$

Now we take $a=0$ , and again we're careful to not pick $b=-1$ .

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(x+\sqrt{x^2-x})=\frac{b+1}2$

$(x+\sqrt{x^2-x})\cdot\dfrac{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}=\dfrac{x^2-(x^2-x)}{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}=\dfrac
 x{x-(-x)\sqrt{1-\frac1x}}=\dfrac1{1+\sqrt{1-\frac1x}}$

This time the limit is $\dfrac12$ , so

$\dfrac12=\dfrac{b+1}2\implies b=0$

which means the other asymptote is the line $y=0$ .

6. 7(d - 1) + 2 How to simplify

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 7d-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 7 by anything inside of the parenthesis so 7(d) and 7(-1) after that you group together the similar variables in the equation which in this case is -7 and 2, so you do -7 + 2 which equals -5
