Answers

C

given 1 /( 3 + √2 )

then rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

the conjugate of 3 + √2 is 3 - √2

1 / (3 + √2 ) × (3 - √2 ) / (3 - √2 )

= (3 - √2 ) /( 9 - 2 ) = (3 - √2 ) / 7

The fraction [tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]\frac{3-\sqrt 2}{7}[/tex]. Option C is correct.

What is a fraction simplification?

Fraction simplification is a method of fraction reduction that entails making a fraction as simple as possible.

This is accomplished by dividing the numerator and denominator by the biggest integer that divides both integers exactly.

Given fraction;

[tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator will rationalize the denominator;

The conjugate of the denominator (3 + √2) is 3 - √2;

Apply the rationalization of fraction;

[tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}} \\\ \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{3-\sqrt2}{3-\sqrt 2} \\\\ \frac{3-\sqrt 2}{9-2} \\\\\ \frac{3-\sqrt 2}{7}[/tex]

Hence option C is correct.

Write the equation of the line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point.

y=2x−8 through (3,10)

Answers

Copy down y = 2x - 8.  Note that any line parallel to this will have exactly the same form,  although the constant (representing the y-intercept) may be different.

Knowing that this line passes through (3,10), all we have to do is find the value of the constant of this new, parallel line.  Substitute 10 for y and 3 for x, obtaining 10 = 2(3) + b.  Then 10-6 = b, or b = 4, and:

y =2x + 4 (answer).  Again, note how the form of this new equation is exactly the same as the form of the given equation; only the constant (the y-intercept) is different.

Answer:

y=2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we have is y=2x-8, so we subsitute the values and 8 is equal to b. After you substitue you solve it. b=4. So, the answer is y=2x+4

Remark

Answer: The second one. The second step removes the brackets on the right. It uses the distributive property which puts back the common factor that was taken out of the two terms 6x and 24. Quite often the distributive property is useful when presenting a problem to be solved.

The associative property is more of an order thing and that is very useful sometimes as well what it says is that if you have three numbers a + b + c the order which you combine things does not matter.

For example 3 + 4 + 5 could be combined as 3 + 4 = 7;  7 + 5 = 12 or 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 4 = 12.  

The associative property is useful when adding fractions.

The edge length of the storage cube is 30 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides/edges of a cube has equal length.

Let's take the length of a edge as [tex]a[/tex] centimeters.

The volume a the cube = Height * Width * Length

All height, width and length are equal([tex]a[/tex] centimeters).

Now we can write the equation again as,

The volume a the cube = [tex]a*a*a[/tex]

Volume of the cube is given as 27,000 cubic centimeters.

Therefore,

Stephon has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 2 feet and increase the length by 2 feet.

Let x represent the length of one side of the square patio. Write expressions for the length and width of the new patio. Then find the area of the new patio if the original patio measures 10 feet by 10 feet.


A. lw = (x + 2)(x – 2); 96 square feet

B. lw = (x – 2)(x – 2); 64 square feet

C. lw = x(x – 2); 80 square feet

D. lw = (x + 2)(x + 2); 144 square feet

Answers

A

reducing one side by 2 is expressed as (x - 2) ← length

increasing the other side by 2 is expressed as (x + 2 ) ← width

the area of new patio = (10 - 2 )(10 + 2) 8 × 12 = 96 ft²


Answer: A. lw = (x + 2)(x – 2); 96 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Stephon has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 2 feet and increase the length by 2 feet.

Let x be the side-length of the patio, then

The length of the patio after change = x+2

The width of the patio  after change = x-2

Then the area of the patio is given by :-

[tex]A=lw\\\Rightarrow\ A=(x+2)(x-2)[/tex]

If the original patio measures 10 feet by 10 feet.

Then the area of the patio= [tex](10+2)(10-2)=(12)(8)=96[/tex] square feet.

Hence, A is the right answer.

1000m divided by 100n can be written in the form 10z. Express z in terms of m and n

Answers

Answer:

[tex]10 ^ {3m-2n} = 10 ^ z[/tex]

Where z = 3m-2n

Step-by-step explanation:

An important mathematical property about the powers is that when powers of equal base are divided, the same base is placed and the exponents are subtracted.

Then we can write 1000m and 100n as powers of the same base:

[tex]1000 ^ m = (10 ^ 3) ^ m = 10 ^ {3m}\\ 100 ^ n = (10 ^ 2) ^ n = 10 ^ {2n}[/tex]

Now we perform the division of powers of the same base (10)

[tex]\frac{10 ^ {3m}}{10 ^ {2n}} = 10 ^ {3m-2n}[/tex]

Finally

 [tex]10 ^ {3m-2n} = 10 ^ z[/tex]

Where z = 3m-2n

Final answer:

To express z in terms of m and n, rewrite the equation: 1000m / 100n = 10z. Then, simplify to 100m / 10n = z. So, z can be expressed as 10m/n.

Explanation:

The given equation is 1000m divided by 100n equals to 10z. To express z in terms of m and n, we need to isolate z. Let's proceed step by step:

First, rewrite the equation: 1000m / 100n = 10z;Then, eliminate the 10 on the right side by dividing both sides by 10, we get: 100m / 10n = z; Then, simplify the left side, we get: 10m/n = z;

So, z can be expressed as 10m/n.

A particular style of sunglasses costs the retailer $70 $⁢70 per pair. At what price should the retailer mark them so he can sell them at a 10% 10% discount off the original price and still make 35% 35% profit on his cost?


Answers

After the 10% discount on marked price (P), the selling price is ...

... P×(100% -10%) = 0.90P

After a markup off 35% on cost, the value is

... $70×(100% +35%) = 1.35×$70 = $94.50

The retailer wants these two values to be equal:

... 0.90P = $94.50

... P = $94.50/0.90 = $105.00 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of P

The marked price should be $105.00.

Final answer:

To make a 35% profit on the cost, the retailer should mark the sunglasses at a price of $85.05.

Explanation:

To determine the price at which the retailer should mark the sunglasses, we need to calculate the original price and then apply the discount. First, let's find the 35% profit on the cost, which is $70. 35% of $70 is 0.35 * 70 = $24.50.

To make a profit of $24.50, the original price should be $70 + $24.50 = $94.50. To sell the sunglasses at a 10% discount, the marked price will be 90% of $94.50. 90% of $94.50 is 0.90 * 94.50 = $85.05.

Therefore, the retailer should mark the sunglasses at a price of $85.05.

The first step in any problem is to look at what you are given. When solving systems of linear equations, it is often helpful to eliminate one or more of the variables by adding or subtracting a multiple of one equation with a multiple of another. It is convenient when at least one of the multipliers is 1.

Here, we can cancel the y-terms in the 2nd and 3rd equations simply by adding them together. This gives

... (5x +y -4z) +(-3x -y +5z) = (41) +(-45)

... 2x +z = -4 . . . . simplified

Likewise, we can add 3 times the second equation to the first to cancel y in that sum.

... 3(5x +y -4z) +(2x -3y +z) = 3(41) + (-1)

...15x +3y -12z +2x -3y +z = 123 -1

...17x -11z = 122 . . . . simplified

Now that we have 2 equations in x and z, we can go through the same process. We observe that the coefficient of z is +1 in the first equation and -11 in the second. The means we can cancel the z terms by adding 11 times the first equation to the second:

... 11(2x +z) +(17x -11z) = 11(-4) +122

...22x +17x = 78 . . . . . . simplify a little bit

... x = 78/39 = 2 . . . . . . divide by 39

From above, we find

... z = -4 -2x = -4 -2·2 = -8

... y = 41 -5x +4z = 41-5(2) +4(-8) = 41 -42 = -1

The solution is (x, y, z) = (2, -1, -8).

The method of elimination used here will vary with the system of equations. If you want to employ a consistent method, you can use Cramer's Rule, Gaussian elimination, or matrix methods.

Answers

These are three equations and three answers.


Answers:

A) infinite solutions, identityB) one solution, x = 27, neither contradiction nor identiyC) x = no solutions, contradiction

Explanation:


Equation A: 20 - 4x = 12 - x + 8 - 3x

The objective is clearing the unknown, which is to isolate it in one side of the equation.

These are the steps and properties that you need to use:


1.  Combine like terms on right side:

20 - 4x  = 20 - 4x


2. Use addition property of equality (add 4x on each side).

20 = 20 ↔ identity


Conclusion: you have gotten a condition that is always true, no matter the value of x, which means that the equation has infinite solutions and it is an identity.


Equation B: 5x + 4x - 3  =  24 + 8x (note that I placed the equal sign as it was missing)


1.  Combine like terms on each side:

9x - 3 = 24 + 8x


2. Subtraction property and addition propertiy of equality (subtract 8x and add + 3 on both sides)

x = 27 ↔ solution (neither contradiction nor identity)


Conclusion: the solution is x = 27.


Equation C: 5x + 6 = 2x + 6 + 3x - 15 (note that I placed the equal signs as it was missing)


1. Comitne like terms on the right side:

5x + 6 = 5x - 9


2. Subtraction property of equality (subtract 5x from each side)


6 = - 9 ↔ contradiction


Conclusion: the equation does not have a solution since the final equality is always false (a condradiction or absurd).


For your information, when the variable (x) dissapears and fhe final equality is always true (for example 0 = 0, or 20 = 20), the equation is an identity.

A) 20-4x=12-x+8-3x

Bring all x values at one side and all numerical values to the other side of the equal sign and solve. Also, do not forget to change the sign when you change the side.

-4x + x + 3x = -20 + 12 + 8

-4x + 4x = -20 + 20

0 =0 No solution

B) 5x+4x-3+24+8x

this expression can only be simplified to 17x + 21 and not solved because there is no equal sign here

C) 5x +6+2x+6+3x-15

this expression can only be simplified to 10x - 3 and not solved because there is no equal sign here

Also, neither of these is an identity or contraction.
