Answer:

3pw + w^2 - 3p^2 - pw = 2pw + w^2 - 3p^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial.

The option which represents the inequality is option D ; stated as x ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked or dotted position is 0 ; which represents the position of x, when graphing inequality statements, if the point IS SHADED, then it means GREATER THAN EQUAL TO.

Option A is incorrect, the inequality sign is not the same as the direction of the arrow.

Option B, says LESS THAN EQUAL TO, instead of GREATER THAN EQUAL TO

Option C SAYS GREATER THAN instead of GREATER THAN EQUAL TO.

Therefore, Option D is the correct expression which means x is GREATER THAN EQUAL TO.

Answer:

I think that you changes the problem...

you went from a derivative to an inverse ???

y = 1/2x + 14

x = 1/2 y + 14

2x = y + 24

y = 2x-24

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 14 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

2y = x + 28 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

2y - 28 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x = [tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x)

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 28

2nd one,

x⁴+x²+1

= x⁴+x³-x³+x²+x²-x²+1+x-x

= x⁴+x³+x²-x³-x²-x+x+x²+1

= x²(x²+x+1)-x(x²+x+1)+(x²+x+1)

When 2 − (7g − 3) = -9 is solved, the result is:

Answers

Answer:

g=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 − (7g − 3) = -9

Subtract 2 from each side

2 − (7g − 3)-2 = -9-2

− (7g − 3) = -11

Multiply by -1

− (7g − 3)*-1 = -11*-1

7g − 3 = 11

Add 3 to each side

7g-3+3 = 11+3

7g = 14

Divide by 7

7g/7 = 14/7

g=2

Another of Bhaskara's problems results in a quadratic equation Parthava was enraged and seized a certain number of arrows to slay Karna. He expended one-half of them in defending himself. Four times the square root of the number of arrows were discharged against the horses. With six more, he transfixed Shalya, the charioteer. With three more, he rent the parasol, the standard, and the bow; and with the last one he pierced the head of Karna. How many arrows did Parthava have?

Answers

Answer:

Parthava had 100 arrows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define N as the number of arrows that Parthava originally has.

He uses one-half of them in defending himself, so he used N/2 arrows

Now he uses four times the square root of the number of arrows, so now he uses:

4*√N

Then he uses 6

Then he uses 3

Then he uses the last one.

If we add all these numbers of arrows that he used, we should get the initial number of arrows that he used, then:

N/2 + 4*√N  + 6 + 3 + 1  = N

Now we have an equation that we can try to solve.

First, let's move all the terms to the same side:

N/2 + 4*√N + 6 + 3 + 1 - N  = 0

now we can simpify it:

(N/2 - N) + 4*√N + (6 + 3 + 1) = 0

-(1/2)*N + 4*√N + 10 = 0

Now we can define a new variable x = √N

Then we have: x^2 = N

now we can replace these new variables in our equation to get:

-(1/2)*x^2 + 4*x + 10 = 0

Now we just have a quadratic equation.

Remember that for a quadratic equation of the form:

0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The solutions were given by:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2a}[/tex]

Then in our case, the solutions will be:

[tex]x = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4^2 - 4*(-1/2)*10} }{2*(-1/2)} = \frac{-4 \pm 6 }{-1} = 4 \pm 6[/tex]

So there are two solutions:

x = 4 + 6 = 10

x = 4 - 6 = -2

And remember that x = √N

Then x should be positive, then we take x = 10 as our solution here.

then we can use the equation:

x = 10 = √N

then

10^2 = √N^2 = N

10^2 = 100 = N

Parthava had 100 arrows.

Please help me solve this guys pleasee im struggling

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 +2x - 8

Factor

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

The zeros are

x+4 = 0  x-2 = 0    

x= -4    x= 2

(-4,0)  (2,0)

The axis of symmetry is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-4+2)/2 = -2/2 = -1

x = -1

The x coordinate of the vertex is at the axis of symmetry

The y value is found by substituting x=-1

y = (-1+4) (-1-2)= 3*-3 = -9

Vertex ( -1,-9)

The domain is all real numbers

The range is from -9 up

y≥ -9  since it opens upward

If the class contains 11 boys and 14 girls, what is the probability of calling on a girl?

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.  

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.  

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Number of boys = 11

Number of girls = 14

Total number of people = 11 + 14 = 25

P (girl) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment)

P (girl) = 14 / 25

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral, the hypotenuse is 2x

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 12^2 = (2x)^2

x^2 + 144 = 4x^2

144 = 4x^2 -x^2

144 = 3x^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(48) = sqrt(x^2)
