Is the line for the equation y = -8 horizontal or vertical? What is the slope of this

Answer:

x = 12

Step 1 helps solve the equation, for it helps isolate the x, which is what you are solving for.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS:

Step 1: Add 18 to both sides.

6x - 18 (+18) = 54 (+18)

6x = 54 + 18

6x = 72

Step 2: Divide 6 from both sides:

(6x)/6 = (72)/6

x = 72/6

x = 12

x = 12 is your answer.

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{X=12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Add by 18 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle 6x-18+18=54+18[/tex]

Add numbers from left to right.

[tex]\displaystyle 54+18=72[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 6x=72[/tex]

Divide by 6 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{72}{6}[/tex]

Simplify, to find the answer.

[tex]\displaystyle 72\div6=12[/tex]

Answer:

The height of the tree is Greater than 50 feet, so Iva’s house is not safe

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the height of the tree

Let

h ----> the height of the tree

we know that

The tangent of angle of 50 degrees is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle of 50 degrees (height of the tree) by the adjacent side to the angle of 50 degrees (tree’s distance from the house)

so

tan(50°)=h/50

h=(50)tan(50°)=59.6 ft

therefore

The height of the tree is Greater than 50 feet, so Iva’s house is not safe

Answer:

greater than and not safe

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we must indicate the sign corresponding to:

[tex]\frac {6} {10}[/tex]and [tex]\frac {9} {12}[/tex]

We have to:

[tex]\frac {6} {10} = 0.6\\\frac {9} {12} = 0.75[/tex]

It is observed that[tex]0.75> 0.6[/tex]

So we have to:

[tex]\frac {6} {10} <\frac {9} {12}[/tex]

Answer:

Answer:

a=11.8,b=12,c=8,A=68.7°, B=72°, C= 39.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

b = 12

c= 8

a= ?

∠B= 72°

∠C= ?

∠A=?

To find the missing angle we will use law of sine:

a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC

Find m∠C.

b/sinB = c/sinC

Substitute the values:

12/sin72°=8/sinC

Apply cross multiplication.

12*sinC=sin72° * 8

sinC=0.951*8/12

sinC=7.608/12

sinC= 0.634

C= 39.3°

Now we know that the sum of angles = 180°

So,

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

m∠A+72°+39.3°=180°

m∠A=180°-72°-39.3°

m∠A= 68.7°

Now find the side a:

a/sinA=b/sinB

a/sin68.7°=12/sin72°

Apply cross multiplication:

a*sin72°=12*sin68.7°

a*0.951=12*0.931

a=0.931*12/0.951

a=11.172/0.951

a=11.75

a=11.8 ....

Answer:

The probability of selecting a black card or a 6 = 7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given two events. When two events can not occur at the same time,it is known as mutually exclusive event.

According to the question we need to find out the probability of black card or 6. So we can write it as:

P(black card or 6):

The probability of selecting a black card = 26/52

The probability of selecting a 6 = 4/52

And the probability of selecting both = 2/52.

So we will apply the formula of compound probability:

P(black card or 6)=P(black card)+P(6)-P(black card and 6)

Now substitute the values:

P(black card or 6)= 26/52+4/52-2/52

P(black card or 6)=26+4-2/52

P(black card or 6)=30-2/52

P(black card or 6)=28/52

P(black card or 6)=7/13.

Hence the probability of selecting a black card or a 6 = 7/13 ....

Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to do this is y = mx + b.

b is y intercept which is 0

m is the slope, which is 5

y = 5x + 0 or y = 5x

Answer:

y=5x

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the points (0,0) and (2,10) that are on the line.

The slope can be calculate the slope by finding the rise and the run, and then putting the rise/run.

If you want to use the graph to count the rise, you can.  If you start at 0 and need to get to 10, then you need to rise 10 units.

If you want to use the graph to count the run, you can. If you start at 0 and need to get to 2, then you need to run 2 units.

So the slope is 10/2=5.

Or, if you didn't want to count, you could use the slope formula for a line given two points on that line.

That is the formula is [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex].

There is another format for that formula that might be easier to remember.  Just line the points up and subtract vertically. Then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

So let's do that also:

(  2  ,  10)

-(  0   ,   0)

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

  2           10

So the slope is 10/2=5.

Now you can get the same answer if you had done it the other way:

 ( 0 ,   0)

- ( 2 ,  10)

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

 -2      -10

So the slope is -10/-2=5.

You get the same number either way.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We found m which is 5.

If you look at the graph, you see the line goes through the y-axis at y=0 so the y-intercept, b, is 0.

The equation of the line here is y=5x+0 or just simply y=5x.

Answer:

The correct answer option is C. [tex] g ( x ) = | x - 4 | + 6 [/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the transformation which shifts a function along the horizontal x axis is given by [tex]f(x+a)[/tex], while its [tex]f(x-a)[/tex] which shifts the function to the right side.

Here we are to shift the function 4 units to the right and 6 units up.

Therefore, the function will be:

[tex] g ( x ) = | x - 4 | + 6 [/tex]

Answer: Option C

[tex]g (x) = | x-4 | +6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a main function and perform a transformation of the form

[tex]g (x) = f (x + h)[/tex]

So:

If [tex]h> 0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced h units to the left

If [tex]h <0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced h units to the right

Also if the transformation is done

[tex]g (x) = f(x) + k[/tex]

So

If [tex]k> 0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced k units up

If [tex]k <0[/tex] the graph of the function g(x) will be equal to the graph of f(x) displaced k units downwards.

In this case the main function is [tex]f(x) = | x |[/tex] and moves 4 units to the right and 6 units to the top, then the transformation is:

[tex]g (x) = f (x-4) +6[/tex]

[tex]g (x) = | x-4 | +6[/tex]

Circumference of the circle = 36cm

Unknown

Length of the radius = ?

Lets represent the radius by r

Solution

The circumference of a circle is the defined as the perimeter of a circle. The formula is given as:

            Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Since the unknown is r, we make it the subject of the formula:

           r = [tex]\frac{circumference of the circle}{2π}[/tex]

          r = [tex]\frac{36}{2 x 3.142}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{6.284}[/tex] = 5.73cm

Answer:

The radius = 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that is 36π.

If so, then  circumference  = 2 π r and:

2 π r =  36 π

r  = 36π / 2π

r = 18.

Answer:

The factors are the binomials (x - 7)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to factor a trinomial

- The trinomial  ax² ± bx ± c has two factors (x ± h)(x ± k), where

# h + k = -b/a

# h × k = c/a

- The signs of the brackets depends on the sign of c at first then

  the sign of b

# If c is positive, then the two brackets have the same sign

# If b is positive , then the signs of the brackets are (+)

# If b is negative then the sign of the brackets are (-)

# If c is negative , then the brackets have different signs

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The trinomial is x² - 5x - 14

∴ a = 1 , b = -5 and c = -14

∵ c is negative

∴ The brackets have different signs

∴ (x - h) (x + k) are the factors of the trinomial

∵ h + k = -5/1

∴ h + k = -5 ⇒ (1)

∵ h × k = -14/1

∴ h × k = -14 ⇒ (2)

- From (1) , (2) we search about two numbers their product is 14 and

 their difference is 5 , they will be 7 and 2

∵ 7 × 2 = 14

∵ 7 - 2 = 5

- The sign of b is negative then we will put the greatest number in the

 bracket of (-)

∴ h = 7 and k = 2

∴ The brackets are (x - 7)(x + 2)

* The factors are the binomials (x - 7)(x + 2)

Answer:

15) 300%

Step-by-step explanation:

15)

Let the item originally cost n dollars.

The new incorrect price is (n-.6n).

So we want to find k such that (n-.6n)+k(n-.6n)=n+.6n

since we actually wanted it to be (n+.6n).

So we have (n-.6n)+k(n-.6n)=n+.6n

Distribute:

n-.6n+kn-.6nk=n+.6n

Subtract n on both sides

  -.6n+kn-.6nk=.6n

We are trying to solve for k. So add .6n on both sides:

kn-.6nk=1.2n

Divide both sides by n:

k-.6k=1.2

.4k=1.2

Divide both sides by .4

k=1.2/.4

k=3

So 3=300%.

The incorrect price must be increased by 300% to get to the proper new price.

Here is an example:

Something cost $600.

It was reduce by 60% which means it cost 600-.6(600)=600-360=240

This was the wrong price.

We needed it to be increased by 60% which would have been 600+360=960.

So we need to figure out what to increase I wrong price 240 to to get to our right price of 960.

240+k(240)=960

1+k=960/240

1+k=4

k=3

So 240*300%+240 would give me my 960.

The average speed=[tex]\frac{5+3+2}{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{10}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{10(3)}{4}=\frac{30}{4}=\frac{15}{2}=7\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of cylinder

From the given question we get the cylinder height and radius

The height h = 3 times the diameter of one ball

 = 3 * 7.5 = 22.5 cm

Radius = half of the diameter of a ball

 = 7.5/2 = 3.75 cm

To find the volume of cylinder

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Answer is option B. 1,111.84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimensions of the un shaded region or rectangle are 18 feet x 22 feet.

Now we have additional 7 feet at both ends to form the diameter of the semicircle, making it [tex]14+18=32[/tex] feet

Radius = [tex]\frac{32}{2}=16[/tex] feet

We have 2 semicircles, one at each end. If we combine it it forms a circle.

Area of the circle (2 semicircles) = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

= [tex]3.14\times(16)^{2}[/tex] = 803.84 square feet

Now we will find the area of the shaded rectangles above and below the non shaded one. The length is 22 feet and width is 7 feet.

So, area = [tex]22\times7=154[/tex] square feet

We have 2 similar rectangles. So, area of both = [tex]2\times154=308[/tex] square feet

So, total area of shaded region = [tex]803.84+308=1111.84[/tex] square feet.

Answer:

After month 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know that the crop will be completely infected after 6 months and the area infected doubles each month, you can work backwards. So picture the 6th month as 100%. Then, basically divide that percentage by 2 until you reach 1/8, or .125, or 12.5. So 100% (month 6) > 50% (month 5) > 25% (month 4) > 12.5% (month 3). So 12.5% is equal to 1/8 or .125, which is what you are trying to look for.

The non-food crop will be infected by one-eighth of the crop after 3 months.

The sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is given by the formula,

Sn = [a(1 - r^n)]/(1 - r)

Where r - a common ratio

a - first term

n - nth term

Sn - the sum of n terms

Given that,

The crop is infected by pests.

The area infected doubles after each month. So, it forms a geometric progression or sequence.

The entire crop is infected after six months.

So, n = 6, r = 2(double) and consider a = x

Then the area of the infected crop after 6 months is,

S(6) = [x(1 - 2^6)]/(1 - 2)

      = x(1 - 64)/(-1)

     = -x(-63)

     = 63x

So, after six months the area of the infected crop is about 63x

So, the one-eighth of the crop = 63x/8 = 7.875x

For one month the infected area = x (< one-eighth)

For two months it will be x + 2x = 3x (< one-eighth)

For three months it will be x + 2x + 4x = 7x ( < one-eighth)

For four months it will be x + 2x + 4x + 8x = 15x (> one-eighth)

So, the one-eighth of the crop will be infected after 3 months.

To find the missing length of a trapezoid with similar triangles inside, we use the ratio of the sides of the triangles, which is approximately 8.667 based on the provided lengths.

When determining the missing length of a trapezoid, we need to consider the properties of similar triangles or the geometric shape of a trapezoid itself. The given information suggests a scenario where similar triangles are within a trapezoid and leads to a proportional relationship between the sides of the triangles. If a trapezoid has triangles within it that share an angle, the lengths of the corresponding sides of those triangles will be proportional.

Based on the data provided, if the long sides of the triangles are in the ratio of 13.0 in to 1.5 in, which simplifies to an approximate factor of 8.667, the bottom sides of the triangles - which are the parallel sides of the trapezoid - will also be in the same ratio. By finding the length of the shorter bottom side, we can divide the length of the longer bottom side by 8.667 to get the missing length on the shorter side.

Answer:

Thus the last row has 119 seats.

The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of seats in each row make an arithmetic series. We will use arithmetic equation to find the number of seats in last row:

An = a1+ (n-1)d

An = 4+(24-1)5  

An = 4 + (23)(5)  

An = 4 + 115  

An = 119

Thus the last row has 119 seats.

Now to find the sum of seats we will apply the formula:

Sn = n(a1 + an)/2

Sn = 24(4+119)/2  

Sn = 24(123) /2  

Sn = 1476 .....

The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476....

Answer:

[tex]a_n = a_1+ (n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 4+(24-1)5[/tex]

[tex]a_n=119[/tex]

Now that we know the number of seats in the last row, we will plug the value to find total seats in first 24 rows:

[tex]S_n=\frac{24(4+119)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]S_n=1476[/tex]

Therefore, there are 1476 seats in the first 24 rows.

B is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation that is a set of points is a function if all the x's are different.  Each ordered pair in the set (excluding the duplicates if any) all have to have a distinct x.

For example if someone ask you if this is a function they are trying to trick you:

{(4,5),(1,3),(4,5)}.

They are trying to trick you because they listed the element (4,5) twice.

The set is really {(4,5),(1,3)}.

This would be a function because all the x's are distinct, ex 4 is different than 1.

Let's look at your choices:

A This is not a function because you have two pairs with the same x-coordinate.

B This is a function.  There are no repeats of any x,

C This is not a function because you have 11 as x twice.

An equation is a mathematical term, which indicates that the value of two algebraic expressions are equal. There are various parts of an equation which are, coefficients, variables, constants, terms, operators, expressions, and equal to sign.

For example, 3x+2y=0.

Types of equation

1. Linear Equation

2. Quadratic Equation

3. Cubic Equation

Given that,

the variation,

x varies jointly with the inverse of r

And the inverse of the square of the sum of y and z

[tex]x = \frac{1}{r + y^{2} + z^{2} }[/tex]

Therefore, the general formula  [tex]x = \frac{1}{r + y^{2} + z^{2} }[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2+5x+1=0

Descr= b^2-4ac

Descr= 25-24=1

X1= (-b+√descr)/2a = (-5+1)/12= -1/3

X2= (-b-√descr)/2a = (-5-1)/12= -1/2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² + 5x + 1 = 0

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

The factors are + 3 and + 2

Use these factors to split the x- term

6x² + 3x + 2x + 1 = 0 ← ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(2x + 1) + 1 (2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x  1)(3x + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

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