The square of a number added to 2 times a number is 8. Find the number.
Answer:
x = -4 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
Given condition:x² + 2x = 8
Subtract 8 to both sides
x² + 2x - 8 = 0
Using mid-term break method
=> 4 × -2 = 8 (side-term), 4 - 2 = 2 (mid-term)
So, we can break the mid-term into 4 and -2.
x² + 4x - 2x - 8 = 0
Take common
x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4) = 0
Take (x+4) common
(x+4)(x-2) = 0
Either
x + 4 = 0 OR x - 2 = 0 (Zero's method)
x = -4 OR x = 2

A rumor about canceling spring break is being spread around a school. The following equation models the number of students in the school who have heard the rumor after t days:
Equation: N (t) = 1800/1+149e^-0.625t
A.). How many people started the rumor?
B. ). How many students are in the school?
C.). To the nearest 1/10, how many days will it be before the rumor spreads to ½ the student body?
D.). The following equation represents the instantaneous rate of change in students per day of the spread of the rumor.
Another Equation: N^1 (t)=0.625N (1- N/1800)
N represents the number of students who have heard the rumor and t is time in days.
How many students have heard the rumor when the rumor is spreading the fastest?
What is the rate of change in students per day at this time ?
A) The number of people who have started the rumor is N(0)=12
B) The number of students who are in the school are 1800
C) The number of days the rumor spreads to ½ the student body are 8 days.
D) The number of students who have heard the rumor when the rumor is spreading the fastest are 900.
The rate of change in students per day at this time is 281.
What is meant by rate of change?The rate of change is a mathematical term that describes the percentage change in value over a given time period and represents the momentum of a variable.
A) Number of people who have heard the rumor after t days is given by:
N (t) = 1800/1+149e^-0.625t
At start t=0, so from the above equation at t=0, we get
N(0)=(1800)/1+149e^0
N(0)=1800/(1+149(1))
N(0)=1800/150
N(0)=12
B) At t=∞, all of the students would have heard the rumor. So putting t↔∞ in the above equation we get,
[tex]\lim_{t \to \infty}[/tex]N(t)=[tex]\lim_{t \to \infty}[/tex] 1800/1+149e^-0.625t
=1800/(1+0)
=1800
Therefore, the number of students in the school are 1800.
C) Putting N=1800/2 in the above equation, we get
1800/2= 1800/1+149e^-0.625t
1+149e^-0.625t=2
e^-0.625t=(2-1)/149
=1/149
Taking log on both sides, we get
ln(e^-0.625t)=ln(1/149)
-0.625t=-ln(149)
t=ln(149)/0.625
t=8.006≈8
D) N'(t)=0.625N(1-(N/1800)
=0.625(N-(N²/1800)
=(0.625/1800)(1800N-N²)
=(0.625/1800)(900²-900²+1800N-N²)
=(0.625/1800)(900²-(N²-1800N+900²)
N'(t)=(0.625/1800)(900²-(N-900)²)
For N to be maximum,
N=900
Thus, rumor is spreading fastest when 900 students have heard the rumor.
And rate of change in students per day is obtained by putting N=900 in expression of N'(t) as follows:
N'(t)=(0.625×900)(1-(900/800))
N'(t)=281.25≈281

f(1) = ?
f(-1) = ?
2.
g(x) = x^n, where n is odd
g(1) = ?
g(-1) = ?
Step-by-step explanation:
remember, an exponent n just means that the base is multiplied by itself n times.
so, e.g.
a³ = a×a×a = (a×a)×a
a⁶ = a×a×a×a×a×a = (a×a)×(a×a)×(a×a)
as you can see, any even exponent can be written as products of squares.
and any odd (uneven) exponent can be written as product of squares multiplied by one base.
a square of a real number is always positive. therefore, an even exponent of a real number is always positive.
and an odd exponent has the sign of the base (as the result of these multiplications is the product of the squares, that are always positive and one instant of the base, and +×+ = +, +×- = -).
and 1^n = 1
no matter how often I multiply 1 by 1, I get 1 as result.
also : -×- = +
1.
f(x) = x^n, n is even
f(1) = 1^n = (1×1)×(1×1)×...×(1×1) = 1×1×1×...×1 = 1
f(-1) = (-1)^n = (-1×-1)×(-1×-1)×...×(-1×-1) = 1×1×1×...×1 = 1
2.
g(x) = x^n, n is odd
g(1) = (1×1)×(1×1)×...(1×1)×1 = 1×1×1×...×1×1 = 1
g(-1) = (-1×-1)×...×(-1×-1)×-1 = 1×1×...×1×-1 = -1

Zachary purchased a computer for $1,800 on a payment plan. Two months after he purchased the computer, his balance was $1,540. Three months after he purchased the computer, his balance was $1,410. What is an equation that models the balance y after x months?
Using an exponential decay equation, the function that models the balance is y = 1800(1 + 0.081)⁻ˣ at a rate of 8.1%
Exponential FunctionExponential function, as its name suggests, involves exponents. But note that, an exponential function has a constant as its base and a variable as its exponent but not the other way round (if a function has a variable as the base and a constant as the exponent then it is a power function but not an exponential function). An exponential function can be in one of the following forms.
In mathematics, an exponential function is a function of form f (x) = aˣ, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.
To solve this problem, we need to find the rate at which the payment is calculated on.
The general equation for an exponential decay is given as
A = P(1 + r)⁻ˣ
x = timer = rateSubstituting the values and solving for r
1540 = 1800(1 + r)⁻²
r = 0.081
r = 8.1%
Comparing the third month to ascertain values
1410 = 1800(1 + r)⁻³
r = 0.081
r = 8.1%
The rate which the payment is calculated is 8.1%

Answer:
The original number is 74
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer of 74 provided by brey90 is absolutely correct. I am just providing a mathematical way of determining the number
Let the number be ab
That means [tex]b[/tex] is in the units place and [tex]a[/tex] is in the tens place.
The actual value of this two digit number is [tex]10a + b[/tex]
The difference between a and b is 3:
[tex]a - b = 3[/tex] [1]
If we reverse the number we get the number [tex]ba[/tex]
The actual value of [tex]ba[/tex] is [tex]10b + a[/tex]
The sum of [tex]ab[/tex] and [tex]ba[/tex] is 121. This means the sum of their actual values must be 121
So we get
[tex]10a + b + 10b + a = 121\\\\11a + 11b = 121\\\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 11 yields:
[tex]a + b = 11[/tex] [2]
Add [1] and [2] to get:
[tex]2a = 14\\\\a = 7\\\\[/tex]
Sub for a in Equation [1] to get
[tex]7 - b = 3\\\\b = 4\\\\[/tex]
So the original number is 74

Reversed is 47
74 + 47 = 121

The odds in favor of Michael Jordan making a free throw were 21:4. Find the probability of Michael Jordan missing a free throw.
Give answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
The probability that Jordan misses a free throw is 0.16
How to determine the probability that he misses?From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Odds in favour = 21 : 4
Represent the odds as a fraction
So, we have the following representation
Odds in favour = 21/4
To convert the odds to probability, we make use of the following equation
Probability = Numerator/(Numerator + Denominator)
Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation
Probability = 21/(21 +4)
Evaluate the sum
Probability = 21/25
The probability that he misses is
Misses = 1 - 21/25
Evaluate the probability
Misses = 4/25
So, we have
Misses = 0.16
Hence, the probability is 0.16

If $10,000 is invested at x percent simple annual interest for n years, which of the following represents the total amount of interest, in dollars, that will be earned by this investment in the n years?
10,000n(x/100)
The reasoning is from the following:The formula for simple rate of interest is F = P(1+rt) whereF = future valueP = present valuer = ratet = time
If $10,000 is invested at x percent simple annual interest for n years, the total amount of interest would be F = 10,000n(x/100)
What is simple interest?Simple interest is calculated based on the principle of a loan or the initial deposit into a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, so a creditor will only charge interest on the principal sum, and a borrower will never be required to pay interest on interest that has already accrued.
F = P(1+rt), formula for simple rate of interest
Here,
=> Future value is F
=> Present value is P
=> Rate is R
=> Time is t
Substituting x for r
And, n for t
Also, 10,000 in for P
F = 10,000(1+xn)
The formula tells us principal + interest,
F = 10,000(xn)
Now, to get the x into terms of a percentage,
F = 10,000(n * x/100)
F = 10,000n(x/100)
