Simplify the linear expression

Mathematics
1 answer:
vekshin12 years ago

Answer:

\huge\boxed{-\frac{7}{8}a - \frac{1}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

This question utilizes combining like terms and common denominators. First you have to convert both terms including "a" to have a denominator of 8. You would do this by multiplying both the numerator, and the denominator by the same value. This value in the case of -\frac{1}{4} a would be 2, and in the case of \frac{2}{3} the value would be 2. This would result in the equation: -\frac{5}{8}a+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{2}{8}a-\frac{5}{6}. Then simply combine like terms to get your final answer.

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

Go step by step to reduce the radical.
zysi [14]
2x16 is 32 so you would take square root of 16 out which is 4 and leave the 2 inside. So the answer is 4sqrt(2)

Can anyone help me solve 23, 24?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Problem 23) y=3x+6

Problem 24) y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

A(0,2)\ B(3,1)

Substitute the values

m=\frac{1-2}{3-0}

m=-\frac{1}{3}

step 2

Problem 23

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of its slopes is equal to minus 1

so

m1*m2=-1

Find the slope of the line

we have

m1=-\frac{1}{3}

substitute in the equation and solve for m2

(-\frac{1}{3})*m2=-1

m2=3

with the slope m2 and the point (0,6) find the equation of the line

Remember that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=3

b=6 -----> the given point is the y-intercept

substitute

y=3x+6

step 3

Problem 24

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then its slopes are the same

so

with the slope m1 and the point (0,-5) find the equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=-\frac{1}{3}

b=-5 -----> the given point is the y-intercept

substitute

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Find the product of (3^6)(3)(3^5) Express your answer using exponents
VikaD [51]

Answer:

3^12

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying the same number with different exponents you have to add the the exponents. For example:

a^x + a^y = a ^{x+y}

So (3^6)(3)(3^5) or (3^6)(3^1)(3^5) = 3^(6+1+5) = 3^12

7.22 (10b-3) =7b-14
faust18 [17]
Multiply 7.22 onto 10b and -3
new equation - 72.2b-21.66=7b-14

add 21.66 onto -14
new equation - 72.2b=7b+7.66

subtract 7b from 72.2
new equation: 65.2b=7.66

divide 65.2 from b
new equation: b=7.66/65.2

final answer: b=0.117
