Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2x = (1/2)(26) - 1

The number is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = (1/2)(26) - 1

2x = 13 - 1

2x = 12

x = 6

Answer 2
The answer is 6.

Explanation: 2x= 12; 12/2= 6. Therefore, x=6

Beth is solving this equation: 1/x+3=3/x
She says “I can multiply both sides by x and get the linear equation 1 + 3x = 3, whose solution is x = 2/3.”
Which of the following statements makes this a correct argument, or shows that it is incorrect? Select all that apply.

Question 1 options:

After multiplying both sides by x you need to subtract 1 from both sides


You can assume x ≠ 0 because both sides are undefined if x = 0.


You cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.


The equation is not linear, so you cannot use the methods normally used for solving linear equations.

Answers

Answer:

1. After multiplying both sides by x you need to subtract 1 from both sides

2. You can assume x ≠ 0 because both sides are undefined if x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{x} + 3 = \frac{3}{x}[/tex]

Required

Which of the options shows the validity of Beth's action

The first option answers the question and the reason is as follows;

Multiply both sides by x

[tex]x * (\frac{1}{x} + 3) = \frac{3}{x} * x[/tex]

Open the bracket

[tex]1 + 3x = 3[/tex]

As stated in option 1; Subtract 1 from both sides

[tex]1 - 1 + 3x = 3 - 1[/tex]

[tex]3x = 2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Another correct option is the option 2

Because the expression is undefined if x = 0

See Proof by substituting 0 for x

[tex]\frac{1}{0} + 3 = \frac{3}{0}[/tex]

Division by 0 is undefined.

Hence, option 2 is also correct

The other options (3 and 4) are incorrect

What is (6x10^6)(4x10^-1) ?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the 6 and 4 together. 6*4 = 24

The next part is a bit tricky. Add the powers on the base 10. Keep the base 10.

10^(6 - 1) = 10^5

Now put the two parts together. 24 * 10^5

The number in front of the 10 must be between 1 and 10.

So 24 can be written as 24 = 2.4 * 10^1

2.4 * 10^1 * 10^5 = 2.4 * 10^(5 + 1) = 2.4 * 10^6

58 POINTS!!! The line contains the point (8,2) and is parallel to a line with a slope of -2/3 The equation of the line is

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{22}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

So the slope of parallel line = - 2/3

So the equation of the line containing the point (8 , 2) and slope - 2/3 is

[tex]y - 2 = - \frac{2}{3} (x - 8) \\ y - 2 = - \frac{ 2}{3} x + \frac{16}{3} \\ y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{16}{3} + 2[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{22}{3} [/tex]

Hope this helps you

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope is -2/3.

We can solve using point slope form.

y - 2 = -2/3(x - 8)

y - 2 = -2/3x + 16/3

y = -2/3x + 22/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since cos(x) is the derivative of sin(x), then integral 16 sin^2(x) cos(x) dx can be done by substituting u = sin (x) sin (x) and du = cos (x) cos (x)^dx. With the substitution u = sin(x), we get integral 16 sin^2 (x) cos(x) dx = 16 integral u^2 du. which integrates to + C. Substituting back in to get the answer in terms of sin(x), we have integral 16 sin^2 (x) cos (x) dx = + C.

Find the integral of  [tex]f(x) =  16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx[/tex]

Answer:

The solution is    [tex]\frac{16}{3} sin^{3}x + c[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So

   [tex]Let \  u  =  sin(x)[/tex]

=>  [tex]\frac{du}{dx}  =  cos (x)[/tex]

=>   [tex]du  =  cos(x)dx[/tex]

So

   [tex]\int\limits {16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx} \, \equiv \int\limits {16u^2  du}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\int\limits {16u^2  du} = 16 [\frac{u^3}{3} ] + c[/tex]

Now substituting sin(x) for u  

      [tex]\frac{16}{3} u^3 + c  =  \frac{16}{3} sin^{3}x + c[/tex]

So the  integral of  [tex]f(x) =  16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx[/tex]  is

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

The equation [tex]x=4[/tex] represents in R^2 c) a line

The equation [tex]x=4[/tex] represents in R^3 a) a plane

The equation [tex]y+3x=2[/tex] represents in R^3 a) a plane

The equation [tex]z-4y=8[/tex] represents d) a plane

The pair of equations [tex]y=2,z=8[/tex] represents a) a line

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by studying each question :

1)

In R^2 , [tex]x=a[/tex] with [tex]a[/tex] ∈ IR is the equation of all vertical lines

In this case, the only free variable is the variable ''y''

R^2 has two dimensions (x and y) so if we set [tex]x=4[/tex] we will have only one free variable in R^2 (which is a line in R^2). Therefore, [tex]x=4[/tex] represents a line in R^2

Now, in R^3 we have three dimensions (x, y and z) so if we set [tex]x=4[/tex] we will have only two free variables (y and z) and [tex]x=4[/tex] will represent a plane (which have two dimensions) in R^3.

2) The equation [tex]y+3x=2[/tex] in R^3 has the free variable ''z'' and given that we select a value (for example for ''x'') the another value from the variable ''y'' is determined. Finally, we have the free variables ''z'' and ''x'', and the variable ''y'' restricted for our choice of the variable ''x''.

The equation [tex]y+3x=2[/tex] in R^3 (given that we have two free variables) represents a plane.

Using the same reasoning, the equation [tex]z-4y=8[/tex] represents a plane (given that it has two free variables : ''y'' and ''x'')

Finally, the pair of equations [tex]y=2,z=8[/tex] set values for ''y'' and ''z'' leading us ''x'' as the free variable. With only one free variable we will have a ''one dimensional'' geometric form. The one dimensional forms in R^3 are lines.

The final answer is a) a line.
