Answer:

x²+1/x² = 51

Explanation:

Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)

We know the algebraic identity:

a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²

a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab

Now,

x²+1/x²

= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)

= (x-1/x)²+2

:7²+2 [ from (1)] =

= 49+2

= 51

Therefore,

x²+1/x² = 51

Help Me!48 divided by 3/8?

expeople1 [14]

Work out 3/8 of 48.

First of all divide 48 by the denominator:

48 ÷ 8 = 6 (this gives 1/8 of 48)

Now multiply this answer by the numerator:

6 × 3 = 18 (this gives 3/8 of 48)

A line passes through the points (–3, –4) and (6, 2). What number is the x-intercept?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture.}$

Mark points in the coordinate system.

Lead a line through these points.

Read x-intercept.

How to find 4x=14y and if it is parallel, perpendicular or neither to -2x+7y=14

RUDIKE [14]

4x = 14y
y = 4/14(x)
y = 2/7(x) slope = 2/7

<span>-2x+7y=14
7y = 2x + 14
y = 2/7(x) + 2 slope = 2/7

parallel lines, slope is the same
both lines have slopes equal 2/7

answer
</span><span>parallel</span>
