What is 2(3x + 4) = -28

2 answers:

8 0

X = -6
2(3x + 4) =-28
divide both sides by 2
2(3x+4)/2 = -28/2
after dividing its 3x + 4 = -14
subtract 4 from both sides
3x + 4 - 4 = -14 - 4
after subtracting its 3x = -18
divide 3 from both sides
3x/3 = -18/3
x = -6
Hope it help

Answer:

x= 10/3

x= 3.334

Depending on simplified form asked.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x +8 =28

subtract 8 from both sides

6x = 20

divide by 6

x=20 /6

x= 10/3 or x =3.334

What theorems can be utilized in solving polynomials and their depressed equations? How can polynomial functions be written when

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Fundamental theorem of algebra, rational root theorem, Descartes rule of signs, remainder theorem, and the factor theorem can be utilized in solving polynomials and their depressed equations.

Polynomial functions can be written when given the zeros by determining the factors of the function, and multiplying the factors.

The length of line PQ is 7.5 inches. what is the absolute error of the measurement?

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The absolute error of the measurement is 0.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The absolute error of a measurement is equal to one half the unit of measure.

In this problem we have

7.5 inches

The measurement is given by 0.5 inches

the absolute error of this measurement is

$\frac{1}{2}(0.5)=0.25\ in$

Therefore

the exact measurement could be between

7.5 (+/-) 0.25 in

That is, between 7.25 in and 7.75 in

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

WAIT! How is this possible? $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being "-2 squared" - it's "the negative of of 2 squared."

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "-1 to the fourth."
