Explain why the equation (x-4)^2-10=15 has two solutions. Then solve the equation to find the solutions.
Please show all your work! (30 points)

Answers

Answer 1
Hello there,
Let's solve it first so that we can understand whats going on in the equation

(x-4)²-10=15
add 10 to both sides
(x-4)²=25
square root both sides

(Okay, so here is where the problem can have 2 solutions. Because the square root of 25 could be (5*5) or it could be (-5*-5). If it's positive five then...

x-4=5
add 4 to both sides
x=9

if it's negative 5 then...

x-4=-5
add 4 to both sides
x=-1

So the answer could be x=-1 or x=9.

It has two solutions because there are two possibilities for the answer to the square root of 25.

Adam spent $3.42 on orange juice. It costs .12 per ounce. How many did Adam buy?

Answers

Hi, 


 I would say that the answer is 28, but it still doesn't add up because when you multiply 12 by 28 you get $3.36 which isn't enough to meet his total, so I tried multiplying 12 by 29 and I got $3.48, which is six cents over his total. So I'm sorry if it is wrong I tried to help to my best ability.

I hope it helps, have a great day/night!!!

Adam bought 26.14 ounces of orange juice.

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many ounces of orange juice Adam bought with $3.42, given that the cost per ounce is $0.12. We can set up a simple proportion to find the answer.

First, we convert the cost of orange juice per ounce from a fraction to a decimal. The cost is $0.12 per ounce, which can also be written as [tex]$\frac{12}{100}$[/tex] dollars per ounce. Simplifying this fraction gives us [tex]$\frac{3}{25}$[/tex] dollars per ounce.

Next, we convert the total amount spent by Adam, $3.42, into a fraction. This is equivalent to [tex]$\frac{342}{100}$[/tex] dollars.

Now, we set up the equation to find the number of ounces (let's call it [tex]$x$[/tex]) that Adam bought:

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{25} \times x = \frac{342}{100} \][/tex]

To solve for [tex]$x$[/tex], we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of [tex]$\frac{3}{25}$[/tex], which is [tex]$\frac{25}{3}$[/tex]:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{342}{100} \times \frac{25}{3} \][/tex]

Multiplying the numerators and denominators separately, we get:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{342 \times 25}{100 \times 3} \][/tex]

Simplifying the right side of the equation by canceling out common factors (25 cancels with 100 to become 4, and 3 cancels with 342 to become 114), we have:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{114 \times 4}{4} \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ x = 114 \][/tex]

However, we must remember that the original amount spent was $3.42, not $342. Therefore, we must divide our result by 100 to account for the cent conversion:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{114}{100} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 1.14 \][/tex]

This result represents the number of ounces Adam bought in addition to the whole number of ounces he could buy with whole dollars. Since $3.00 would buy [tex]$\frac{3}{0.12}$[/tex] ounces, we need to add this to our 1.14 ounces to get the total:

[tex]\[ x_{total} = 1.14 + \frac{3}{\frac{12}{100}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x_{total} = 1.14 + \frac{3 \times 100}{12} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x_{total} = 1.14 + \frac{300}{12} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x_{total} = 1.14 + 25 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x_{total} = 26.14 \][/tex]

Now that you have 3x=42, you need to isolate the variable so that you have an equation of the form "x= some number." what is the value of x (i.e., the amount you must pay)?

Answers

3x=42 so you'll need to divide both sides by 3 
3x/3=42/3 that leaves you with the isolated variable 
x=14

To solve the equation 3x = 42, divide both sides by 3, which results in x = 14. This means you would pay $14. The process is similar to isolating a variable in quadratic equations, where different methods may be employed.

Given the equation 3x = 42, we need to isolate the variable x to find its value. This is accomplished by dividing both sides of the equation by 3, which is the coefficient of x. Therefore, the equation becomes x = 42 / 3.

By performing this simple division, we find that x equals 14. So, if x represents the amount you must pay, then you would pay $14.

The process of isolating the variable is essential for solving not only simple equations but also more complex ones, such as quadratic equations which take the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

When dealing with quadratic equations, you can employ the quadratic formula or other methods like factoring or completing the square, depending on the nature of the coefficients and the terms present in the equation.

Given that KJ = MN and that L is the midpoint of JN, prove JKL = NML.

Answers

Let's follow the statements in the figure you provide and give the corresponding reason for each.

1. KJ is congruent to MN ---> GIVEN (That means that you were told this is true when the problem was posed. Read the problem...everything before the word "prove" is given to you).

2. JL is congruent to LN --> You were told that L is the midpoint of JN. A midpoint divides a segment into two congruent parts. So, the fact that L is a midpoint means that JL and LN are congruent. Here we do not say given because you were given that L is the midpoint and you had to now what a midpoint does to get to the fact that JL and LN are congruent. So here we say DEFINITION OF A MIDPOINT

3. angle JKL is congruent to angle NLM --> GIVEN. Here the information was given to you in the diagram. These angles are both drawn with a red curved line. Since these are the same (both a single red curve) it means that the angles are congruent.

PROVING TRIANGLES CONGRUENT
We are asked to prove that triangle JKL and triangle NML are congruent. There are various ways to prove that two triangles are congruent. These are:
SSS (each side in one triangle is congruent to a side in the other triangle)
SAS (two sides and the angle between them in one triangle are congruent to two sides and the angle between them in the other triangle)
ASA (two angles and the side between them in one triangle are congruent to two angles and the side between them in the other triangle)
AAS Two angles and a side not between them in one triangle is congruent to two angles and a side not between them in the other triangle.
HL (the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg in another right triangle)

OUR TRIANGLES
Attached is a diagram for this problem. In it since KJ and MN are congruent I have marked each with a single hashmark. Since JL and LN are congruent I have marked each of these with two hashmarks. You will notice that both triangles have a side with one hashmark and another with two hashmarks Also, there is an angle congruent in each. However, the angle is not BETWEEN the sides so we cannot use SAS. None of the other methods of proving two triangles congruent work because what we have is two sides and an angles not between them. That would be SSA but SSA is NOT one of the ways of proving triangles congruent. The triangles we are given might be congruent but they also might not be.

The answers is D --> There is not enough information to prove the triangles congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heather and Joel bought a house for $157,200 and know that the house appreciates every year. They keep track of their house value for 5 years and model their data with the exponential equation

Answers

Given that they want to estimate the cost of the house after 8 years, the best equation will be obtained as follows:
FV=P(1+r)^n
where:
n=time
p=principle
r=rate
First we need to estimate the rate. The value of the house after 5 years is $ 190,000
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for r we get:
190000=157200(1+r)^5
1.20865=(1+r)^5
getting the fifth root of both sides we obtain:
1.0386=1+r
thus
r=0.0386~3.86%
thus the value of the house after 8 years will be:
FV=157200(1.0386)^8
FV=$212,879.6936
Final answer:

The question relates to house appreciation and quality in mathematics. The house's value appreciates each year, an occurrence that Heather and Joel could monitor. House appreciation allows them to determine the annual interest rate and the value of their house after a particular period, and Ben and Freda's specifics help illustrate this situation.

Explanation:

The question pertains to the concept of housing appreciation and equity in Mathematics. In this situation, Heather and Joel will observe that the value of their home increases annually due to appreciation. The value of their home after a certain period can be modeled using an exponential equation, taking the initial amount as the purchasing price, and the rate as the annual appreciation percentage.

For example, looking at Freda's situation, she bought a house for $150,000. Now, if she were to sell it, she would get $250,000. This increase in price from $150,000 to $250,000 would demonstrate the appreciation of her house over time. Similarly, Ben bought a house for $100,000 and borrowed the rest after a 20% down payment. As he pays the loan, his equity in the house increases and the house's increase in value also appreciates his equity.
