The solution to 15 a2 − 1 = 5 2a − 2 is a = . The extraneous solution is a = .

Answers

Answer 1
For this case the correct expression is:
 15 / (a ^ 2 - 1) = 5 / (2a - 2)
 Rewriting we have:
 3 / (a ^ 2 - 1) = 1/2 (a - 1)
 6 / (a ^ 2 - 1) = 1 / (a - 1)
 6 (a - 1) = (a ^ 2 - 1)
 6 (a - 1) = (a-1) (a + 1)
 (a + 1) = 6
 a = 6-1
 a = 5

explain one of the theorems that you would use to find the zero of higher degree polynomial

Answers

Rational Root Theorem:


If the rational number [tex]x=\frac{b}{c}[/tex] is a zero of a higher degree polynomial:

[tex]P(x)=kx^{n}+...+m[/tex]


where all the coefficients are integers. Then [tex]b[/tex] will be a factor of [tex]m[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex] will be a factor of [tex]k[/tex]


1. Use the rational root theorem to enumerate all possible rational zeroes of the polynomial [tex]P(x)[/tex]


2. Evaluate the polynomial from the first step until you can find a zero. Let’s suppose the zero is [tex]x=r[/tex]. It will be a zero if [tex]P(r)=0[/tex]. Then if this is true, write the polynomial as:

[tex]P(x)=(x-r)Q(x)[/tex]


3. Repeat this process using [tex]Q(x)[/tex] this time rather than [tex]P(x)[/tex]. The process finishes until we reach a second degree polynomial, then solve as it is widely known for a quadratic equation.


When rounding to.the nearest hundred are you to add or subtract?

Answers

basically you don't really do either, mostly because when your rounding you mostly just look at the number your rounding to. okay so say your number is like 127 you would round to 100 because your number would've been below 150. And we know that five is the middle of every thing. 10 and the whole number system is made up of tens. So when you have to choose to round you have to go up to the next ten so say your number is 27 since it's above 5 you would round to 30. So if you have 127 it's below the 5 mark (which would be 150) so you would round to 100 because it's below that mark. 

Answer:

When you round to the nearest hundred:

150 or higher turns into 200, so you'd do add.

But when it's 149 or lower, you simply subtract it by 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus, the complete sentence would read:  "All at once, pandemonium broke loose. Simultaneously the marching band came around the corner, dogs began barking, and the horses pulling the mayor's carriage began to run!"

The explanation for this is that the word "Simultaneously" is the only one that fits the phrase, and maintains the coherence and cohesion of the text.  The words "anyway", "because", and "following", when embedded in the phrase, change the meaning of what the author wanted to go through.

The radius of the base of a cone is 4 inches. the slant height of the cone is 6 inches. which is closest to the surface area of the cone?

Answers

The answer should be 125.66 inches.

So you know two things, the radius and the slant height.

The formula you are going to use is SA=π•r^2+π•r•L

SA= Surface Area
r = Radius
L= Slant Height

So now you plug the variables into the formula.

[tex]\pi \times {4}^{2} + \pi \times 4 \times 6[/tex]
[tex]\pi \times 16 + \pi \times 24[/tex]
[tex]40 \times \pi = 125.66[/tex]

What is the simplified form of the following expression? 10abc^2 sqrt 49a^2b^2c^2


Answers

Answer: [tex]70a^2b^2c^3[/tex] will be the answer.

Explanation:

Since Given expression is [tex]10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}[/tex]

We can write, [tex]10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 10abc^2\sqrt{7^2a^2b^2c^2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 10abc^2\sqrt{(7abc)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 10abc^27abc[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 10\times7abc^2abc[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 70abc^2abc[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10abc^2\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}= 70a^2b^2c^3[/tex]

1. The simplified form of the expression [tex]10abc^2[/tex] is simply [tex]10abc^2[/tex] itself.

2. The simplified form of the expression [tex]\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}[/tex] is 7abc.

1. Since there are no like terms to combine, and no operations to perform, the expression remains unchanged.

2. The expression [tex]\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2}[/tex] represents the square root of [tex]49a^2b^2c^2[/tex]. To simplify this, we need to find the square root of each term under the radical.

[tex]\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2} = \sqrt{49} * \sqrt{a^2} * \sqrt{b^2} * \sqrt{c^2}[/tex]

The square root of 49 is 7, and the square root of any variable raised to the power of 2 is simply the variable itself. So, we have: [tex]\sqrt{49a^2b^2c^2} = 7 * a * b * c[/tex]

The volume of a cuboid is 1404cm3. The length is 9cm and the width is 130mm. Work out the height of the cuboid in cm.

Answers

Convert mm to cm:
130mm = 13cm

Formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Height

Substitute known values into the variables:
1404 = 9 x 13 x height

1404 = 117 x height

height = 1404 ÷ 117 = 12 cm

Answer : Height = 12 cm

To calculate the height of the cuboid, we convert the width to centimeters and use the volume formula. After conversion, we find the height by dividing the volume (1404cm³) by the product of the length (9cm) and width (13cm), resulting in a height of 12cm.

To find the height of the cuboid, we can use the formula for calculating volume, which is volume = length x width x height. The question gives us the volume of the cuboid as 1404cm³, the length as 9cm, and the width as 130mm. However, we need to ensure all units are the same, so let's convert the width from millimeters to centimeters: 130mm = 13cm (since 1cm = 10mm).

Now, using the formula for volume:

Volume = length x width x height1404cm³ = 9cm x 13cm x height

To find the height, we divide the volume by the product of the length and width:

height = Volume / (length x width)height = 1404cm³ / (9cm x 13cm)height = 1404cm³ / 117cm²height = 12cm

Therefore, the height of the cuboid is 12cm.

Susan will need a minimum of 60 feet of fencing.

18. you work a part-time job earning $6.80/hr with tips that average $2.30/hr. you work 20 hr/wk and your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (8.95%), and state tax withholding (6.1%). how much are you allowed in housing expenses per month?

Im asking for help not for you to do it.

Answers

Total housing expenses per month allowed will be $168.81.

To calculate how much you are allowed in housing expenses per month, we need to first determine your after-tax income.

You earn $6.80/hr plus tips averaging $2.30/hr, resulting in an hourly wage of

$6.80 + $2.30 = $9.10

Working 20 hours a week gives you a weekly income of

20 hours × $9.10/hr = $182

Monthly, this equates

$182  4 weeks = $728

The deductions are as follows: FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (8.95%), and state tax withholding (6.1%). These deductions total to

7.65% + 8.95% + 6.1% = 22.7%

To get the after-tax income, we calculate

$728 - (22.7% × $728)

≈ $562.69

This is your monthly take-home pay.

Financial experts often recommend spending no more than 30% of your take-home pay on housing. Therefore

$562.69 × 30%

= $168.81 houses expenses per month

The approximate perimeter is 25.12 feet.

The outer edges of the concrete region form semicircles.  The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference, and is given by the formula
C=πd

Since these are semicircles, the circumference is given by C=1/2πd.

There are 4 of these semicircles, so the total would be
C=4(1/2)πd

The diameter of each one is 4 feet:
C=4(1/2)(3.14)(4) = 25.12

A lab worker monitors the growth of a bacteria colony starting at 9:00 a.m. At that time, there are 100 bacteria. According to the exponential function f(x) = 100(4)x, the bacteria quadruple every hour. Which equation could you use to determine the number of bacteria in the colony after 6 hours?

Answers

We know that the exponential growth of the Bacteria's population is model by the function [tex]f(x)=100(4)^x[/tex], so to find the number of bacteria after 6 hours, we just need to evaluate our function at [tex]x=6[/tex]. In other words, we are going to replace [tex]x[/tex] with 6 in our function:
[tex]f(x)=100(4)^x[/tex]
[tex]f(6)=100(4)^6[/tex]
[tex]f(6)=409600[/tex]

We can conclude that the we should use the equation: [tex]f(6)=100(4)^6[/tex] to find the number of bacteria in the colony after 6 hours. Evaluating the function we get that the number is 409,600.

The equation to determine the number of bacteria in the colony after 6 hours is [tex]f(x) = 100(4)^x[/tex] and after 6 hours, there will be 409,600 bacteria in the colony.

To find the number of bacteria after 6 hours, one would substitute x with 6 in the exponential function [tex]f(x) = 100(4)^x[/tex].

This function models the growth of the bacteria colony, where the initial number of bacteria is 100 and they quadruple every hour.

The variable x represents the number of hours that have passed since the initial measurement at 9:00 a.m.

By substituting x = 6 into the function, we get:

[tex]f(6) = 100(4)^6[/tex]

Now, calculate the value of [tex](4)^6[/tex]:

[tex](4)^6 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 4096[/tex]

Then, multiply this by the initial number of bacteria, which is 100:

f(6) = 100 [tex]\times[/tex] 4096

Finally, calculate the total number of bacteria after 6 hours:

f(6) = 409600

The relationship between the monthly fee for Brandon’s phone and the price per minute for long distance is modeled by the linear function f (x) = 0.05x + 3, where x is the number of minutes used for long distance.

Answers

If you use 0.05x+3 (x equal to the number of minutes) it would be 0.05(20) + 3 = 4. Pretty sure this is correct, but you might want to check it.

the linear function f (x) = 0.05x + 3,

f(x) is the monthly fee and x is the price per minute

Brandon used 20 minutes of his long distance

So x is 20 minutes

We plug in 20 for x

f(x) = 0.05x + 3

f(20) = 0.05(20) + 3 = 4

So total bill is  $4 if Brandon used 20 minutes of his long distance service in a month

The price of the land is $2300 per acre ( 1 acre = 4840) how much does the land cost?

Answers

Two of the three side lengths are given.  To find the area of the triangular piece of land, we'll need to calculate the length of the third side, the side opposite the 100 degree angle.  Use the Law of Cosines for this task.

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2ac*cosA

Here, a^2 = 500^2 + 750^2 - 2(500)(750)cos 100 deg, or

          a^2 = 250000 + 572500 - 750000(-0.1736), or
                 = 692264

Then a = +sqrt(692264) = 832 yds

Use Heron's Formula to find the area of the land.

First, calculate s=(a+b+c)/2:  (500+750+832)/2 = 1041=s

According to Heron's Formula, A = sqrt( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )

Here, A = sqrt( 1041*(1041-500)*(1041-750)*(1041-832) )

I will leave this calculation to you to complete.

Suppose the area of the land is A square yards.  Convert this to acres, using the fact that 1 acre = 4840 yd^2.

In acres, the area is 

          1 acre
A* ---------------- = (A/4840) acres
        4840 yd^2

How much will this cost?  Recall that the unit cost of the land is $2300/acre.

Then the total cost will be:
                             $2300
(A/4840) acres * ------------- = 0.475*A dollars.  (Substitute your value for A)
                              1 acre

Two of the three side lengths are given.  To find the area of the triangular piece of land, we'll need to calculate the length of the third side, the side opposite the 100 degree angle.  Use the Law of Cosines for this task.

         a^2 = 250000 + 572500 - 750000(-0.1736), or

                = 692264


Then a = +sqrt(692264) = 832 yds


Use Heron's Formula to find the area of the land.


First, calculate s=(a+b+c)/2:  (500+750+832)/2 = 1041=s


According to Heron's Formula, A = sqrt( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )


Here, A = sqrt( 1041*(1041-500)*(1041-750)*(1041-832) )


I will leave this calculation to you to complete.
