Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 3: 12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
- Combine like terms: 8x - 14 = -6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 8x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 1
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
- Multiply: 3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: 3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Multiply: -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: -7 + 1 = -6
- Add: -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.
3. The leading coefficient of the function f(x)= 3x⁵+6x⁴-x-3 is 3.
For the function f(x)= 3x⁵+6x⁴-x-3 , the highest power of x is 5, so the degree is 5. The leading term is the term containing that degree, 3x⁵. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term, 3.
Answer:
216 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area dimensions.
s = √(216/1014) = √(36/169) = 6/13
Then the ratio of volume dimensions is the cube of that. The smaller volume is ...
v = (6/13)³·2197 m³ = 216/2197·2197 m³ = 216 m³
The volume of the smaller solid is 216 m³.
David will finish first, because if you divide Brad's miles by 2 to his miles in a 1/4 of an hour are 5.95 miles. This means David went 6.2 miles in the same time that Brad went 5.95. Therefore, David will finish first.
