Answer:
a.) Total pages Lamar have to read the first day to meet his goal = 300
Total pages left to read after 3 days = 75
b.) Total pages he need to read on day 8 = 4.6875
Step-by-step explanation:
The exact question is as follows :
Given - Lamar has a list of 600 pages to read to finish his book for his upcoming book report. He sets a goal to read half of the pages left in his book each day.
To find -
a) How many pages will Lamar have to read the first day to meet his goal?
How many will he have left to read after 3 days?
b) How many pages will he need to read on day 8?
Solution -
Given that,
Total number of pages = 600
Now,
In Day 1 ,
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (600)[/tex] = 300
i.e.
In Day 1 , he Finished 300 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 1, total pages left = 600 - 300 = 300
so,
Total pages Lamar have to read the first day to meet his goal = 300
Now,
For day 2 ,
Total pages = 300
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (300)[/tex] = 150
i.e.
In Day 2 , he Finished 150 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 2, total pages left = 300 - 150 = 150
Now,
For day 3 ,
Total pages = 150
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (150)[/tex] = 75
i.e.
In Day 3 , he Finished 75 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 3, total pages left = 150 - 75 = 75
So,
Total pages left to read after 3 days = 75
Now,
For day 4 ,
Total pages = 75
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (75)[/tex] = 37.5
i.e.
In Day 4 , he Finished 37.5 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 4, total pages left = 75 - 37.5 = 37.5
Now,
For day 5 ,
Total pages = 37.5
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (37.5)[/tex] = 18.75
i.e.
In Day 5 , he Finished 18.75 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 5, total pages left = 37.5 - 18.75 = 18.75
Now,
For day 6 ,
Total pages = 18.75
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (18.75)[/tex] = 9.375
i.e.
In Day 6 , he Finished 9.375 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 6, total pages left = 18.75 - 9.375 = 9.375
Now,
For day 7 ,
Total pages = 9.375
He will finish half of the pages
So, he finished pages = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (9.375)[/tex] = 4.6875
i.e.
In Day 7 , he Finished 4.6875 pages.
So,
At the end of Day 7, total pages left = 9.375 - 4.6875 = 4.6875
So,
At the starting of Day 8,
Total pages = 4.6875
So,
Total pages he need to read on day 8 = 4.6875
Can someone help me I don't know what n represents
Answer:
n=7
Step-by-step explanation:
6(n-3) - 2n=10
Distribute
6n - 18 -2n = 10
Combine like terms
4n -18 = 10
Add 18 to each side
4n-18+18 = 10+18
4n = 28
Divide by 4

Solve the solution by substitution.
Y= —5x + 13
-6x + 6y = 6
Show/ explain your work
Answer:
the solution is (2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Make this work easier by reducing the second equation:
-x + y = 1, or y = x + 1
Substititing x + 1 for y in the first equation, we get:
x + 1 = -5x + 13, or (after combining like terms):
6x = 12
Then x = 2, and bercause y = x + 1 (see above), y = 2 + 1 = 3
Then the solution is (2, 3)

A = pi * 10.5²
A = pi * 110.25
A = 346.36059
We can write the the area of the circle as 110.25π square centimeter.
What is Area?Area is a collection of two - dimensional points enclosed by a single dimensional line. Mathematically, we can write -
V = ∫∫F(x, y) dx dy
Given is a circle whose diameter is 21 cm.
It is asked to find the area of a circle whose diameter is 21 cm.
It is given that the diameter of the circle is -
d = 21 cm
r = d/2 = 21/2
r = 10.5 cm
We know that the area of the circle as -
Area = πr²
Area = π x 10.5 x 10.5
Area = 110.25π
So, it can be concluded that the area of the circle is 110.25π square centimeter.
Therefore, we can write the the area of the circle as 110.25π square centimeter.

Answer:
x = 8
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1:
Equation at the end of step 1
(22x2 - 36x) + 32 = 0
STEP 2:
STEP 3: Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
4x2 - 36x + 32 = 4 • (x2 - 9x + 8)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 - 9x + 8
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -9x its coefficient is -9 .
The last term, "the constant", is +8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 8 = 8
Step-2 : Find two factors of 8 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-8 + -1 = -9 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and -1
x2 - 8x - 1x - 8
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-8)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-8)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-1) • (x-8)

Theory - Roots of a product
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Equations which are never true:
4.2 Solve : 4 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.3 Solve : x-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.4 Solve : x-8 = 0
Add 8 to both sides of the equation :
x = 8
Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly
Solving x2-9x+8 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
Parabola, Finding the Vertex:
5.1 Find the Vertex of y = x2-9x+8
Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).
For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 4.5000
Plugging into the parabola formula 4.5000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1.0 * 4.50 * 4.50 - 9.0 * 4.50 + 8.0
or y = -12.250
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = x2-9x+8
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={ 4.50}
Vertex at {x,y} = { 4.50,-12.25}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = { 1.00, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = { 8.00, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square
5.2 Solving x2-9x+8 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Subtract 8 from both side of the equation :
x2-9x = -8
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 9 , divide by two, giving 9/2 , and finally square it giving 81/4
Add 81/4 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
-8 + 81/4 or, (-8/1)+(81/4)
The common denominator of the two fractions is 4 Adding (-32/4)+(81/4) gives 49/4
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2-9x+(81/4) = 49/4
Adding 81/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2-9x+(81/4) =
(x-(9/2)) • (x-(9/2)) =
(x-(9/2))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2-9x+(81/4) = 49/4 and
x2-9x+(81/4) = (x-(9/2))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x-(9/2))2 = 49/4
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #5.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
Note that the square root of
(x-(9/2))2 is
(x-(9/2))2/2 =
(x-(9/2))1 =
x-(9/2)
Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #5.2.1 we get:
x-(9/2) = √ 49/4
Add 9/2 to both sides to obtain:
x = 9/2 + √ 49/4
Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
x2 - 9x + 8 = 0
has two solutions:
x = 9/2 + √ 49/4
or
x = 9/2 - √ 49/4
Note that √ 49/4 can be written as
√ 49 / √ 4 which is 7 / 2
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
5.3 Solving x2-9x+8 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 1
B = -9
C = 8
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
81 - 32 =
49
Applying the quadratic formula :
9 ± √ 49
x = —————
2
Can √ 49 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 49 is
7•7
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 49 = √ 7•7 =
± 7 • √ 1 =
± 7
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 9 ± 7) / 2
Two real solutions:
x =(9+√49)/2=(9+7)/2= 8.000
or:
x =(9-√49)/2=(9-7)/2= 1.000
Two solutions were found :
x = 8
x = 1
