What is the solution to 3(–3x + 9) = −18?
O x = -5
O x = 5 or x=1
O x = -5 or x = 1
no solution

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5 (If solved algebraically)

No Solution (If the parentheses are absolute value lines)

Step-by-step explanation:

Result when solving this way: 3|-3x + 9| = -18

1) Divide both sides by 3
|-3x + 9| = -18/3

2) Simplify 18/3 to 6

|-3x + 9| = -6

3)  Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

-3x + 9 = -6

- (-3x + 9) = -6

4) Solve the 1st equation: -3x + 9 = -6

- Subtract 1 from both sides.

-3x = -6 - 9

-Simplify -6 - 9 to -15.

-3x = -15

-Divide both sides by -3.

x = -15/-3

- Two negatives make a positive.

x = 15/3

- Simplify 15/3 to 5.

x = 5

6)  Solve the 2nd equation:  - (-3x+ 9) = -6

1 - Remove parentheses

3x - 9 = -6

2 - Add 9 to both sides

3x = -6 + 9

3 - Simplify -6 + 9 to 3.

3x = 3

- Divide both sides by 3.

x = 1

6) Collect all solutions.

x = 1,5

7) Check solution.

When x = 1, the original equation 3|-3x + 9| = -18 does not hold true.

We will drop x = 1 from the solution set.

8) Check solution.

When x = 5, the original equation 3|-3x + 9| = -18  does not hold true.

We will drop x = 5 from the solution set.

9) Therefore,

No solution exists.

Result when solving algebraically:

Simplifying

3(-3x + 9) = -18

Reorder the terms:

3(9 + -3x) = -18

(9 * 3 + -3x * 3) = -18

(27 + -9x) = -18

Solving

27 + -9x = -18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-27' to each side of the equation.

27 + -27 + -9x = -18 + -27

Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0

0 + -9x = -18 + -27

-9x = -18 + -27

Combine like terms: -18 + -27 = -45

-9x = -45

Divide each side by '-9'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

The following relationship exists between the parts of each chord.

(x - 1)(2x^2) = 4*x

Solution

The easiest way to start is to divide both sides of the equation by x.

(x - 1)(2x^2)/x = 4x / x                  Divide by x    

( x-1)(2x) = 4                                 Remove the brackets

2x^2 - 2x = 4                              Subtract 4 from both sides

2x^2 - 2x - 4 = 4 - 4                    Combine

2x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0                         Pull out the common factor

2(x^2 - x - 2) = 0                         Divide by 2

x^2 - x - 2 = 0                              Factor

Answer:  [tex]\textsf{x = 6}[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:  [tex]\textsf{The image provided with 2 angles and one side}[/tex]

Find:  [tex]\textsf{Solve for the unknown side of x}[/tex]

Solution:  In order to determine the length of x we need to use some trigonometric functions.  Using Soh Cah Toa we can see that we can either use 30 degrees or 60 degrees.  We will stick to 60 and we can see that the opposite side is 3 and the hypotenuse is x meaning that we need to use sin.  Plug in the values and solve for the unknown.

Plug in the values

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) = }\frac{\textsf{opposite}}{\textsf{hypotenuse}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{sin(30) = }\frac{\textsf{3}}{\textsf{x}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by x

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x = }\frac{\textsf{3}}{\textsf{x}}\textsf{ * x}[/tex][tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x = 3}[/tex]

Divide both sides by sin(30)

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}\textsf{ = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{x = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{x = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{0.5}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{x = 6}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the unknown variable x is 6 units.

What is a scatter plot?

Scatter plots are graphs that represent individual points of data and are labeled with quantitative values on both the co-ordinate axes, meaning that there is only one projection on the x-axis and one projection on the y-axis for each point.

We have a scatter plot shown in the table:

1) As we can see in the scatter plot all data are within 3 standard deviations of the mean:

Standard deviation = SD

6SD(x) = 40

SD(x) = 40/6 = 6.67

6SD(y) = 20

SD(y) = 20/6 = 3.37

2) Slope of the line:

= SD(x)/SD(y) = (20/6)/(40/6) = 1/2 = 0.5

3) It is plausible to take the slope of the line as 0.5 because the slope of the line is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

Thus, the plausible values for the SD(x) are 6.67 and for SD(y) is 3.37, and the slope of the line is 0.5.

Answers

Based on the annuities calculated, he should choose option 1.

How to calculate the annuities?

Present value = $35,000 + (Annuity amount * Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1)

= $35,000 + ($9,400 * (5%,6))

= $35,000 + ($9,400 * 5.07569)

= $35,000 + 47,711

= $82,711

Present value = (Annuity amount * Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1)

= $17,700 * (5%,6)

= $17,700 * 5.07569

= $89,840

Alex should choose Option 1

Future value annuity = Annuity amount * Future value of an ordinary annuity of $1

= $180,000 * (6%,10)

= $180,000 * 13.1808

If the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 20 square units, where should points B and D be located if they lie to the right of points A and C?

B(1, 3) and D(1, −2)
B(3, 3) and D(3, −2)
B(2, 3) and D(2, −2)
B(1, 2) and D(1, −3)

Answers

Answer: B(1, 3) and D(1, −2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to C is 5, meaning we need the length to be 4.

If they lie to the right, we need to add 4 to the x coordinates, so the x coordinates should be 1, and the y coordinates should be 3 and -2.

The locations of B and D are given by (A) B(1,3) and D(1,-2).

The area of rectangle is given by the product of the length and width of that rectangle.

Area = Length*Width

Distance between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

Here in the given question it is mentioned that AC forms width of a rectangle and A is at (-3,3) and C is at (-3,-2)

Now the width is [tex]=\sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2+(-2-3)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25}=5[/tex] unit.

Also it is given that, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.

So the length is = 20/5 = 4 units

B and D lie to the right of points A and C respectively.

We have to go 4 units right to the A to find B and 4 units right to C to find D.

A is at (-3,3)

then B is at (-3+4,3) = (1,3)

C is at (-3,-2)

So D is at (-3+4,-2) = (1,-2)

Hence correct option is (A) B(1,3) and D(1,-2)

The mean and the standard deviation are 233 and 208.95 respectively.

The mean of a distribution is its average, while the standard deviation is the summary of how far each data in the dataset, is to the mean.

First, we calculate the class midpoint (x) from the given intervals.

The class midpoint is the average of the intervals. So, we have:

X1 = (0+199)/2 = 99.5

X2 = (200+399)/2 = 299.5

X3 = (400+599)/2 = 499.5

X4 = (600+799)/2 = 699.5

X5 = (800+999)/2 = 899.5

X6 = (1000+1199)/2 = 1099.5

X7 = (1200+1399)/2 = 1299.5

So, the table becomes:

X values Frequency (f)

99.5 345

299.5 97

499.5 52

699.5 21

899.5 9

1099.5 8

1299.5 3

The mean of the distribution is:

   

This gives:

Mean = (99.5*345)+(299.5*97)+(499.5*52)+(699.5*21)+(899.5*9)+(1099.5*8)+(1299.5*3)/(345+97+52+21+9+8+3)

Mean = 124832.5/535 = 233

Therefore, Mean = 233

The standard deviation is calculated as follows:

So, we have:

Б =

√(99.5*(345-233)²+((299.5-233)² * 97)+((499.5-233)² * 52)+((699.5-233)² * 21)+((899.5-233)² * 9)+((1099.5-233)² * 8)+((1299.5- 233)² * 3)/ (345+97+52+21+9+8+3)

Standard Deviation = √(23357155.5)/535

        = √43658.23

        = 208.95

Б = 208.95

What is the area of the triangle?

The vertices of the triangle are (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃).

Then the area of the triangle will be

Area = 1/2 |[(x₁y₂ + x₂y₃ + x₃y₁) - (y₁x₂ + y₂x₃ + y₃x₁)]|

A Ferris wheel at an amusement park is modeled by (x – 100)2 + (y – 75)2 = 4,900, where the measurements are in feet. A slingshot attraction is modeled by y = –3x2 + 48x – 30. Which attraction reaches a greater height, and what does it represent in terms of the context?

Answers

The attraction that reaches a greater height and what it represent in terms of the context  is:

The slingshot reaches a greater height at  162 ft, which is the vertex of the parabola.The Ferris wheel reaches a greater height at 145 ft, which is the highest point on the circle.

Height

Ferris wheel

(x – 100)2 + (y – 75)2 = 4,900

y max= 75+70

y max=145 ft

Sling shot

y = –3x² + 48x – 30

dy/dx=-6+48=0

x=48/6

x=8

Hence:

y max = –3(8)² + 48(8) – 30
y max = –3×64+48(8)-30

y max = –192+384-30

y max =162 ft

Therefore slingshot reaches a greater height at  162 ft and Ferris wheel reaches a greater height at 145 ft.

let p be the perimeter of a rectangle, and let one side of the rectangle be x

PLEASE SHOW WORK

Answers

That is the length in terms of p and x.

L = p/2 - x

How to get the length of the other side in terms of x and p?

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P  = 2*(L + W).

Here we know that the perimeter is p, so P = p, and let's say that the width is x.

Then we can write:

p = 2*(L + x)

Solving for L:

L = p/2 - x

That is the length in terms of p and x.
