solve the system of equations using elimination 3c - 8d =7 and c + 2d = -7

Answers

Answer:

d=-2 c=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3c-8d=7

4(c+2d=-7)

3c-8d=7

4c+8d=-28

4c+3c-8d+8d=7-28

7c=-21

c=-3

c+2d=-7

-3+2d=-7

2d=-4

d=-2

Given.

[tex](3c-8d=7)=(c+2d=-7)[/tex]

Multiply 4 to the second equation.

[tex]4(c+2d=-7)[/tex]

[tex]3c+8d=-28[/tex]

Compare the like terms.

[tex]4c+3c-8d+8d=7-28[/tex]

Solve.

[tex]7c=-21[/tex]

Divide 7 to both sides

[tex]\frac{7c}{7}=\frac{-21}{7}[/tex]

[tex]c=-3[/tex]

Substitute (-3) for c into the original second equation.

[tex]c+2d=-7[/tex]

[tex]-3+2d=-7[/tex]

Add (3) to both sides.

[tex](-3+2d=-7)+3[/tex]

[tex]2d=-4[/tex]

Divide (2) to both sides.

[tex]\frac{2d}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]d=-2[/tex]

Check your work.

with sides labeled 1 through 6.
What is the probability that the student picks a blue marble from the bag, and then rolls a 4?
A.5/72
B.5/42
C.1/3
D.7/12​

Answers

Answer:

A. 5/72

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 4 + 3 = 12 marbles

5/12  - the probability that the student picks a blue marble.

1/6 - the probability that 4 is on the cube

The probability that the student picks a blue marble from the bag, and then rolls a 4

5/12 * 1/6 = 5/72

Zachary can't believe how bad London's traffic is today. In the past 10 minutes, his cab has barely moved 500 meters! He wonders if walking would have been faster. If Zachary walks at an average speed of 5 kilometers per hour, how many minutes would it take him to walk 500 meters?

Answers

Answer:

6 min

Step-by-step explanation:

5 kilometers = 5,000 meters

500/5,000 = 1/10 meaning it would take him 1/10 of an hour or 6 minutes to cover this distance.

The fraction 1 1/3 as an improper fraction is 4/3

How to write an improper fraction

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Fraction =  1 1/3

When converted to an improper fraction, we have

Numerator = 3 * 1 + 1

Evaluate

Numerator = 4

The denominator remains the same

how to write 1/4 as a decimal

Answers

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

As a decimal, 0.25

As a fraction, 1/4

As a percentage, 25%

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4

= 1*25/4*25

= 25/100

(Multiplying to both numerator and denominator doesn't change the value)

Now to write 25/100 as a decimal

The decimal point goes two places to the left in 25

(Since 100 has 2 zeroes so two values back)

25/100 = .25

= 0.25

Based on an architectural drawing, a roof slopes to a drain
along the function represented in the table that defines the
edge of slope, where x is the horizontal distance in feet and
f(x) is the vertical distance in feet.
If the drain is at the minimum point, how far is it from the wall
defined by the y-axis?
A. O feet
B. 8 feet
C. 80 feet
D. 160 feet

Answers

Answer:

80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x is the horizontal distance in feet and  f(x) is the vertical distance in feet. The minimum point of a function is its lowest point. For a quadratic equation, at its minimum or  maximum point, the slope of the graph is equal to zero.

For the table of the function given below, it can be seen that the lowest point occurs when x = 80 feet, at this point, the value of f(x) is at its lowest which is 0.

Therefore at the minimum point, it is 80 feet far from the wall .

So x = 5 + 2√6

I) x + 1/x

Find the LCM

The final answer will be 10

ii) x² +1/x²

i) 12,-3b,......sixth term

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term?

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve terms involving Geometric progressions (GPs), we would first state the variables that are to be incorporated in the formula.

i) 12,-3b,......;sixth term

1st term = a= 12

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = -3b/12 = -b/4

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term

1st term = a= 3

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = (-⅓)/3 = (-⅓)(⅓) = -1/9

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

2) we are to determine the sixth term in (i) and eight term in (ii)

See attachment for details

Sixth term= (-3b^5)/256

Eight term = -1/1594323

Charlie invests £1200 at 3.5% per annum compound interest.

Work out the value of Charlie's investment after 3 years.

Answers

Answer:

£1,330.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula [tex]A = P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

A = amount compounded after n years

P = principal (amount invested)

r = rate (in %)

t = time (in years)

n = time used to compound the money

Given P =  £1200., r = 3.5%, t = 3years, n = 1 year(compounded annually)

[tex]A = 1200(1+0.035)^{3}\\ A = 1200(1.035)^{3}\\ A = 1200* 1.108717875\\A = 1,330.46[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Final potential energy = 24 Joule

The velocity with which object must be thrown = [tex]4 \sqrt{10}[/tex] m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of object, m = 0.30 Kg

Height of object, h = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 [tex]ms^{-2}[/tex]

a) Formula for Potential Energy:

[tex]E_p =mgh[/tex]

Where m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height of object

Putting the values of m, g and h

[tex]E_p = 0.3 \times 10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow E_p =24 J[/tex]

b) Formula for initial and final velocity:

[tex]v^{2} =u^{2} +2gh[/tex]

where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity with which the object is thrown

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height obtained by object

here v = 0 at the height 8 m because it will come to rest at the point it attains the maximum height.

h = 8m

g = -10 [tex]ms^{-2}[/tex] (negative because the object's velocity is decreasing)

Putting the values to find 'u':

[tex]0^{2} =u^{2} +2 \times -10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow u^{2} = 160\\\Rightarrow u = 4 \sqrt{10}\ m/s[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 8)(x − 11)

Using the zero product property

0 = (x − 3)(x + 8)(x − 11)

0 = x-3      0 = x+8     0 = x-11

If f ( x ) f ( x ) is a linear function, f ( − 5 ) = 0 f ( - 5 ) = 0 , and f ( 2 ) = 4 f ( 2 ) = 4 , find an equation for f ( x ) f ( x )

f(x)=________

Answers

Answer:   f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7

================================================

Explanation:

We have

f(-5) = 0 and f(2) = 4

This means the two points (-5,0) and (2,4) are on this line

----------

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-5,0) and (x2,y2) = (2,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 0)/(2 - (-5))

m = (4 - 0)/(2 + 5)

m = 4/7 is the slope

----------

Plug m = 4/7 and (x1,y1) = (-5,0) into the point-slope formula. Solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = (4/7)(x - (-5))

y = (4/7)(x + 5)

y = (4/7)x + (4/7)*5

y = (4/7)x + 20/7

f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7

This linear equation has a slope of 4/7 and a y intercept of 20/7.

The equation for f ( x ) would be; f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7

What is the slope?

The slope is the ratio of the vertical changes to the horizontal changes between two points of the line.

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

We are given f(-5) = 0 and f(2) = 4

This means the two points (-5,0) and (2,4) are on this line

To Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-5,0) and (x2,y2) = (2,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 0)/(2 - (-5))

m = (4 - 0)/(2 + 5)

m = 4/7 is the slope

Then substitute m = 4/7 and (x1,y1) = (-5,0) into the point-slope formula. Solve for y;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = (4/7)(x - (-5))

y = (4/7)(x + 5)

y = (4/7)x + (4/7)*5

y = (4/7)x + 20/7

f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7

The linear equation has a slope of 4/7 and a y intercept of 20/7.
