Step-by-step explanation:

she painted half of the still to be painted area.

after the first weekend there were 800 of 1600 ft² painted, and therefore 1600 - 800 = 800 ft² left to be painted.

on the second weekend she then painted half of that :

800 / 2.

that means she painted 800/2 = 400 ft², and that left 800 - 400 = 400 ft² to be painted on the following weekends.

if we look in detail, we find the starting 800 ft² of the second weekend are already the result of the first weekend.

800 = 1600 / 2

so,

800 / 2 = 1600 / 2 / 2 = 1600 / 2² = 1600 / 4.

and the same principle goes on weekend after weekend.

therefore, the expression for the nth weekend could be

1600 × (1/2)^n ft²

that means, she painted

on the 1st weekend : 1600 × 1/2 = 800 ft²

on the 2nd weekend : 1600 × 1/4 = 400 ft²

on the 3rd weekend : 1600 × 1/8 = 200 ft²

on the 4th weekend : 1600 × 1/16 = 100 ft²

...

that also means : she will never be finished, as she always paints only half of what is still left open, and that leaves always some part open. it will be tinier and tinier over time, but never 0.

Solve the equation by completing the square 5x(x+6)=-50

motikmotik

First lets distribute the 5x
5x^2 + 30x = -50

Lets divide every term by 5
x^2 + 6x = -10

To complete the square we have to half the b value, which in this case is 6. Then square it.
Half of 6 is 3, 3 squared is 9

Add that to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 6x + 9 = -1

Find the binomial squared
(x+3)^2 (If you're wondering how i got that please comment)

(x+3)^2 = -1

Take the square root of the equation of both sides
(x+3) = +/- i
x = -3 +/- i
x = -3 - i
and
x = -3 + i

Solve for x, 0 ≤ x ≤2π (2cosx-1)(2sinx+√3 ) = 0

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

x = π/3, x = 5π/3, x = 4π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's split the given equation (2cosx-1)(2sinx+√3 ) = 0 into two parts, and solve each separately. These parts would be 2cos(x) - 1 = 0, and 2sin(x) + √3 = 0.

$2\cos \left(x\right)-1=0,\\2\cos \left(x\right)=1,\\\cos \left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}$

Remember that the general solutions for cos(x) = 1/2 are x = π/3 + 2πn and x = 5π/3 + 2πn. In this case we are given the interval 0 ≤ x ≤2π, and therefore x = π/3, and x = 5π/3.

Similarly:

$\:2\sin \left(x\right)+\sqrt{3}=0,\\2\sin \left(x\right)=-\sqrt{3},\\\sin \left(x\right)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

The general solutions for sin(x) = - √3/2 are x = 4π/3 + 2πn and x = 5π/3 + 2πn. Therefore x = 4π/3 and x = 5π/3 in this case.

So we have x = π/3, x = 5π/3, and x = 4π/3 as our solutions.

Toko follows a budget to buy supplies to paint his room. He spends 1/2 of his budget on a roller, a tray, and tape. He spends $1

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The answer is $36.

B - budget
So the calculation is as following:
$B= \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 + \frac{3.82}{ \frac{2}{3} } = \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 + \frac{3.82*3}{2}= \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 +5.73$
$B= \frac{1}{2} B + 18$
$B- \frac{1}{2}B = 18$
$\frac{1}{2}B = 18$
$B = 18*2=36$

Can someone help me?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.
