Help! How do i find a solution set? (I have a texas ti graphing calculator if that helps) An example is

(x - a)(x + b) = 0

How would I find the solution set for this?

Please explain to me in an easy to understand, step by step way.

If you know how to use a texas TI calculator, you can also explain to me how to do it on the calculator, but that is not required

Answers

Answer:

The solution set is given by {a, -b}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation,

[tex](x - a)(x + b) = 0[/tex]

Equating the factors to 0 gives,

[tex](x - a)=0[/tex] and [tex](x + b)=0[/tex]

i.e. x = a and x = -b

So, the solutions of the equation [tex](x - a)(x + b) = 0[/tex] are x= a and x= -b.

Thus, the solution set is given by {a, -b}.

Answers

To solve this conversion factor problem we are going to multiply our original quantity 800hm by conversion factors (expressed as fractions) in order to cancel units until we get centimeters:
We know that 1 hectometer= 100 meters, so our first conversion factor expressed as a fraction is [tex] \frac{100m}{1hm} [/tex]
We also now that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, so our second one is [tex] \frac{100cm}{1m} [/tex]

Now that we have our fractions, lets multiply our original quantity by them to get our answer in the required units:
[tex]800hm( \frac{100m}{1hm} )( \frac{100cm}{1m})=8000000cm [/tex]

We can conclude that 800hm are 8,000,000cm

in a first aid kit the ratio of large bandages to small bandages is 5 to 2. Based on this ratio, how many large bandages are in the kit if there are total of 60 bandages?

The best way to answer this question is to set up the first sentence as a ratio of large bandages to total bandages. You would write 5 large bandages to 7 total bandages to 7 total bandages.  Then you would make this equivalent to x number of large bandages to 60 total.  It would look like this 5:7 = x:60.  You could use cross products to multiply 60 by 5 to get 300.  7 times x also should equal 300.  Unfortunately, this example will not leave us with a whole number of bandages, but 300/7 is a repeating decimal or a mixed number (42 6/7 large bandages).

6. How could you change the simulation to generate data for three pets? Result Frequency Heads, Heads 9 Heads, Tails 14 Tails, Heads 18 Tails, Tails 9 Total 50
PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLYEST

Answers

Answer: what i did was put "change one of the tails, heads or heads, tails to add the data for the 3 pets" because you couldn't tell if it was heads tails or tails heads

Final answer:

To generate data for three pets in a simulation, expand the outcome possibilities to include all combinations of Heads and Tails for three entities, and then record the frequency of each outcome to analyze probabilities or patterns.

Explanation:

To determine how to change a simulation to generate data for three pets when you currently have data for two, you need to expand the number of possible outcomes to account for the additional pet. For the current two-pet scenario, there are four outcomes: Heads-Heads, Heads-Tails, Tails-Heads, and Tails-Tails. When adding a third pet, each of these outcomes would branch into two further outcomes, representing the two possibilities for the third pet (let's call it Pet C).

The possible outcomes would be:

Heads-Heads-HeadsHeads-Heads-TailsHeads-Tails-HeadsHeads-Tails-TailsTails-Heads-HeadsTails-Heads-TailsTails-Tails-HeadsTails-Tails-Tails

For each outcome, you would simulate or record the frequency as you did with the two-pet scenario, totaling the number of trials to ensure you have complete data for analysis. You would then use this data to analyze the probabilities or patterns of outcomes involving three pets.

we are given

Gavin builds furniture for a living. he Sells chairs for $45 and tables for $70 each

So, we can find objective function as

[tex] Z=45x+70y [/tex]

now, we can find inequalities

A table requires 10 hours and $15 worth of supplies to make

so, total hours to make table =10y

amount spent on table =15y

It takes Gavin 4 hours and $10 worth of supplies to build each chair

so, total hours to make chair =4x

amount spent on chair =10x

total number of hours to make chair and table =4x+10y

Gavin wants to work for no more than 40 hours per week

so, we get

[tex] 4x+10y\leq 40 [/tex]

spend no more than $80 on materials

so, we get

[tex] 10x+15y\leq 80 [/tex]

so,

Graph the line with slope -2/3 passing through the point (2,1)

Answers

find the y-intercept then graph it.
which is :-
y=-2/3x+7/3
Final answer:

To graph a line with a given slope passing through a point, use the point-slope form of a linear equation. Convert the equation to slope-intercept form, [tex]y = mx+b[/tex]. Plot the line on a graph using the y-intercept and the slope to find additional points.

Explanation:

To graph a line with a given slope and passing through a point, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1). In this case, the point-slope form would be y - 1 = (-2/3)(x - 2). We can simplify this equation into slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by distributing the slope and rearranging the terms. After simplifying, the equation becomes y = (-2/3)x + 7/3. Finally, we can plot the line on a graph using the slope-intercept form equation by identifying the y-intercept at (0, 7/3) and using the slope to find additional points on the line.

Question 5 options:

A 43


B 0


C 11


D 21

Answers

the answer wolud be 43                                                                                   good luck

Answer:

option: A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the average number of pizzas sold in one night if no coupons are issued.

i.e. we have to find the value of y such that x=0 i.e. no coupon was issued.

We are given a equation which represents the linear model for this data:

y = 3.4x + 43

where y denotes the average number of pizza sold and x denotes the number of coupons issued.

Hence when x=0 we have value of y from the above linear equation as:

y=3.4×0+43=0+43=43

i.e. y=43.

Hence, average number of pizzas sold in one night if no coupons are issued are 43.

Which situations accurately describe a ratio of ? Select all that apply

Answers

Final answer:

A ratio compares two quantities and can form a proportion when two ratios are equivalent. A unit rate is a ratio with one quantity of one, while a unit scale compares actual object dimensions to a model or drawing. These concepts are used in various fields, including health sciences and when working with scale models or maps.

Explanation:

A ratio is a comparison between two different quantities. When we express ratios, we can use a fraction format, a colon, or the word 'to'. Examples include 2/3, 2:3, and '2 to 3'. In certain situations, this comparison can lead to the formation of a proportion, which occurs when two ratios are equivalent, like 1/2 = 3/6. Proportions are especially useful when we deal with scale distances or dimensions, such as in map reading or model building.

A unit rate is a type of ratio in which one of the quantities is one. An example would be 55 miles per hour or 55 miles/1 hour. This is often used when discussing speed or cost per unit.

Similar to a unit rate is a unit scale, which compares the actual dimensions of an object to the dimensions of a model or drawing of the object. An example of a unit scale is 1 inch = 100 feet, which can be written as a ratio of 1 inch/100 ft.

In sectors like the health sciences, ratios are used to describe solutions and are given in terms of proportions, for example, 1:1000. In making comparisons or constructing models, we might set ratios equal to the unit scale to form proportions for various dimensions like length and width.

Four different situations accurately describe ratios.

Certainly! Let's evaluate each situation to see if it accurately describes a ratio.

Sally found five green fruit loops in her cereal bowl, out of every thirteen pieces.
This situation does describe a ratio: 5 green fruit loops to 13 total pieces. The ratio is 5:13.

This situation does describe a ratio: 5 daisies to 8 roses. The ratio is 5:8.

find two consecutive odd integers such that 36 more than the lesser is three times the greater

Answers

Two consecutive odd integers means there's a difference of 2 between the numbers. More than the lesser is adding to the lower integer (x). The greater is the larger integer (x+2). "Is" means equals. Times means multiply.

x= first integer
x+2= second integer

x + 36= 3(x + 2)
multiply 3 by everything in parentheses
x + 36= 3x + 6
subtract x from both sides
36= 2x + 6
subtract 6 from both sides
30= 2x
divide both sides by 2
15= x

x= 15 first consecutive odd integer

x+2= second consecutive odd integer
15+2= 17

ANSWER: 15, 17

Hope this helps! :)

Final answer:

To find two consecutive odd integers such that 36 more than the lesser is three times the greater, set up an equation and solve for the variable x. The two consecutive odd integers are 15 and 17.

Explanation:

To find two consecutive odd integers such that 36 more than the lesser is three times the greater, we can set up an equation:

x + 36 = 3(x + 2)

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x + 36 = 3x + 6

Subtracting x from both sides, we get:

36 = 2x + 6

Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get:

30 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

15 = x

Therefore, the two consecutive odd integers are 15 and 17.

Next, form a perfect square tri nomial keeping the value of the function equivalent: f(x) = 2(x^2 – 22x + 121) + 185 – 242

To get vertex form we factor x^2 -22x+121

-11*-11= 121 and sum -11+(-11)= -22

x^2 -22x+121

(x-11)(x-11)

f(x) = 2(x^2 – 22x + 121) + 185 – 242

f(x) = 2(x-11)(x-11)+ 185 – 242

f(x) = 2(x-11)^2 - 57

Trent is fishing from a pier. ●The tip of his fishing rod is 53 ¾ feet above the surface of the water. ●The hook on the end of the fishing line is directly below the tip of the fishing rod 12 ⅔ feet below the surface of the water.

I would say yes and no because estimations aren't exact, they're close to the correct value. Trent's estimation is correct since 53+12=65, if we were looking for the exact distance, Trent would be wrong because there are fractions too, so the exact value would be 66 (5/12) or 65 (17/12).
