A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the equation
X2 - 2x - 8 = 0. Where did the student go wrong?
Step 1. Factor the polynomial into (x - 4) and (x - 2)
Step 2. X-4 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
Step 3. x = 4 and x = 2
A. in Step 2
B. in Step 1
C. The student did not make any mistakes, the solution is correct
D. in Step 3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:(b) step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The wrong step in the student's workings is step 1

How to determine the wrong step?

The equation is given as:

x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

Expand the equation

x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8 = 0

Factorize the equation

x(x + 2)- 4(x + 2)

Factor out x + 2

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

The above means that the factored equation of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 is (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

This means that the step 1 of the student's step is wrong and incorrect

The revenue from selling x tickets to a concert is the represented by the function r(x)=10x. The cost for buying tickets is represented by the function c(x) = 8x+40. The profit made from selling the tickets is represented by the function p(x) = r(x) - c(x). What is p(100)? *

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

All these fancy terms is confusing. We just need to substitute the original equations into the final problem statement.

[tex]p(x) = 10x - (8x+40) = 10x - 8x - 40[/tex]

We can then substitute 100 for x and solve.

[tex]p(100) = 10(100) - 8(100) - 40[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total no. of boys = 5

Total no. of girls = 10

We need to find the ratio of the number of boys in the club to the total number of students in the club.

Total no. of students = no. of girls + no. of boys

= 5 +10

On average, Shawnee drinks 1/2 of a 6 ounce glass of water in 2/3 hour. How much water does she drink in an hour?

Answers

Answer:

1/2 of 6 = (1/2)*6 = 0.5*6 = 3

Shawnte drinks 3 ounces of water in 2/3 hrs.

3 oz = 2/3 hr

3*(3 oz) = 3*(2/3 hr) .... multiply both sides by 3

9 oz = 2 hrs

She drinks 9 ounces of water in 2 hrs

9/2 oz = 2/2 hrs .... divide both sides by 2

4.5 oz = 1 hr

She drinks 4.5 ounces of water in 1 hour.

The parabola in the figure below has an equation of the form
y = ax^2 + bx - 4.

Find the equation of the parabola

Answers

Answer:

y = - x² + 5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the zeros are x = 1 and x = 4 , then the corresponding factors are

(x - 1) and (x - 4) , then

y = a(x - 1)(x - 4) ← a is a multiplier

   = a(x² - 5x + 4)

To find a substitute the coordinates of any other point on the parabola into the equation.

Using (2, 2), then

2 = a(4 - 10 + 4) = - 2a ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a = - 1

Thus

y = - (x² - 5x + 4) = - x² + 5x - 4 ( with a = - 1 and b = 5 )

So, I need to find out, how long one of the side lengths of the orange square is. the square is in the semicircle. you do not have any numbers given, and should use just letters.
thanks in Advance​

Answers

Answer:

Assuming the square and the semicircle aren't merged somehow, and we need to calculate their full area, we should take into account:

Area of a square:

(Side length)² = 22² = 484 square inches

Area of a circle with a diameter of 22inch:

3'14 · (radius)² = 3'14 · 11² = 379'94 square inches

Since we have half a circle, the total areas to add will be:

1/2 · 379'94 + 484 = 673'97

(If you answer correctly, you will get 15 and I can answer one of ur questions. ONLY if you get it right)

Answers

Okay so if it’s $48 out of the paycheck then that would be $48 out of $120. So here to find the percentage we need to find out what percentage 48 is of 120. So the $48 saved, would be 40% of the total $120. So the answer is 40%. Hope this helps! :))))

The percentage of Gabrielle paycheck is 40%. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is percentage?

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".

Given that, Gabrielle saves $48 of her monthly paycheck for college. She earned $120 last month.

Percentage of paycheck is

48/120 ×100

= 0.4×100

= 40%

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

7x-(3x+5)-8 = (1/2)*(8x+20) -7x +5

and

5(3x+4) -2x = 7x -3(-2x+11)​

Answers

Answer:

For the first problem the answer is x=4

The second Problem the answer is no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

7x−(3x+5)−8=1/2 (8x+20)−7x+5

7x+−3x+−5+−8=1/2(8x) +(1/2) (20)+−7x+5(Distribute)

7x+−3x+−5+−8=4x+10+−7x+5

(7x+−3x)+(−5+−8)=(4x+−7x)+(10+5)(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−13=−3x+15

4x−13=−3x+15

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

4x−13+3x=−3x+15+3x

7x−13=15

Add 13 to both sides.

7x−13+13=15+13

7x=28 Divide both sides by 7.

x=4

5(3x+4) -2x = 7x -3(-2x+11)​

Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(3x+4)−2x=7x−3(−2x+11)

(5)(3x)+(5)(4)+−2x=7x+(−3)(−2x)+(−3)(11)(Distribute)

15x+20+−2x=7x+6x+−33

(15x+−2x)+(20)=(7x+6x)+(−33)(Combine Like Terms)

13x+20=13x+−33

13x+20=13x−33

Subtract 13x from both sides.

13x+20−13x=13x−33−13x

20=−33

Step 3: Subtract 20 from both sides.

20−20=−33−20

0=−53

There are no solutions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-(3x+5)-8 = (1/2)*(8x+20) -7x +5

1. Distributive Property

7x - 3x - 5 - 8 = 4x + 20 - 7x + 5

2. Combine like terms

4x -13 = -3x + 25

3. Add 13 on both sides

4x -13 + 13 = -3x + 25 + 13

4x = -3x + 38

4. Add 3x on both sides

4x + 3x = -3x + 3x + 38

7x = 38

5. Divide by 7 on both sides

7x / 7= 38 / 7

x = 5.428571428571429

or

x = 5.4

__________________________________________________________

5(3x+4) -2x = 7x -3(-2x+11)​

1. Distributive Property

15x + 20 - 2x = 7x + 6x - 33

2. Combine like terms

13x + 20 = 13x - 33

3. Subtract 20 on both sides

13x + 20 - 20 = 13x - 33 - 20

13x = 13x - 53

4. Subtract 13x on both sides

13x - 13x = 13x - 13x - 53

0 = -53 ( there is no answer for x)

What is line?

A line is a straight one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely in both directions. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely. It is determined by two points in a two-dimensional plane. The two points which lie on the same line are said to be collinear points.

Find the total amount given the original price and tax rate. Round to the nearest cent if necessary.
$15.25,7%

Answers

Given:

Original price = $15.25

Tax rate = 7%

To find:

The total amount.

Solution:

We know that,

Total amount = Original price + Tax

According to the question,

Total amount = 15.25 + 7% of 15.25

[tex]\text{Total amount}=15.25+\dfrac{7}{100}\times 15.25[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount}=15.25+1.0675[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount}=16.3175[/tex]

Round to the nearest cent (two decimal places).

[tex]\text{Total amount}\approx 16.32[/tex]

Therefore, the total value is $16.32.

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments whose lengths are in the ratio of 1:4. The length of the altitude is 12. How long is the hypotenuse?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  30

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude is the geometric mean of the two segments of the hypotenuse. For some scale factor x, the segments are 1x and 4x, and the altitude is ...

  12 = √((1x)(4x)) = 2x

  6 = x

So, the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  (1x) +(4x) = 5x = 5·6 = 30

The hypotenuse is 30 units long.
