Answer:

the goal is to try and get x alone. For the 1st problem, x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 = 10 Subtract 1 both sides to cancel out the 1 on the left side. 10-1 = 9

3x = 9 To get x alone here, Divide 3 on both sides. 9/3 = 3

x = 3 Now x is alone, which means x = 3.

This is right because if you plug x with 3, the sum = 10.

(3*3) + 1 =10

9 + 1 = 10

So, that's how you know 3 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in $y=mx+b$ form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.

This means that we know the following.

$b$ is the y coordinate of the y intercept.
$m$ is the slope of the line.

Since we know that, we can see that from our equation that the slope of the line is 3 and the y intercept is (0,-7).

Now that we've gotten that, we can start graphing.

The y intercept is -7 so we can plot (0,-7) as one of our points.

The slope of 3 means that we got up 3 units then right a single unit.

Therefore, another point could be (1,-4).

With our two points, we can create our graph by creating a straight line through those two points and therefore plotting our line.

Cheers!

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket, after x seconds, is given by the following equation:

$y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98$

It hits the ground when $y = 0$ , so we have to find x for which $y = 0$ , which is a quadratic equation.

Finding the roots of a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98$

$-16x^2 + 177x + 98 = 0$

$a = -16, b = 177, c = 98$

$\bigtriangleup = 177^{2} - 4(-16)(98) = 37601$

$x_{1} = \frac{-177 + \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = -0.53$

$x_{2} = \frac{-177 - \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = 11.59$

Since time is a positive measure, the rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.
