Write your own word problem and share it with the group. Then translate your problem into its resulting math equation. What steps would you then follow to solve for the variable?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is our absolute function for which we are tasked with finding the values of x that make the whole thing equal 6:

-.5 | 2x + 2 | + 1 = 6. Subtracting 1 from both sides gives us

-.5 | 2x + 2 | = 5. Dividing both sides by -.5 gives us

| 2x + 2 | = -10.

Because absolute value is in fact a distance measure, and one of the 2 things in math that will NEVER be negative is distance, there is no solution to this equation.

Find the 96th term of the arithmetic sequence -16, -28, -40, ...

Answers

Answer:

1124.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference (d)   is -16 - (-28) = 12,  ( also -28 - (-40) = 12).

The nth term of an A.S.  is a1 + d(n - 1)  where a1 = first term, d=common difference.

so the 96th term of the given A.S. is:

-16 + 12(96 - 1)

= -16 + 12*95

= 1124.

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use symmetry to find the inverse of a function because you know that the inverse of a function will be that function reflected across the line y=x. This is a line that has a slope of 1 and runs through the origin. Taking a look at the graph choices given, the only one that appears to have been reflected across y=x is graph A, since all of the points of pre-image and the corresponding points on the image are equally distant from y=x. Hope this helps!

Answer:  A (the first graph)

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse is when you swap the x's and y's

A = (x, y)  →   A⁻¹ = (y, x)

I took three points from the graph (labeled A, B, C) and found their inverse.

A = (-7, 0)  →   A⁻¹ = (0, -7)

B = (0, 7)   →   B⁻¹ = (7, 0)

C = (9, 9)  →   C⁻¹ = (9, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is where the graph crosses the y axis. The graph crosses the y axis at (0, -2), so the y intercept is -2.

The y intercept is useful in slope intercept form, (y=mx+b), where b is the y intercept.

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept of a graph is where the graph crosses or intersects the y-axis.

Notice that the graph shown here hits the y-axis at -2.

What is the numerical solution to the equation five less than three times a number equals four more than eight times the numbers?
A. -9/5
B. 1/11
C. -1/5
D. 1/5

Answers

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first consider the equation at hand. We are given that this equation is as follows, five less than three times a number equals four more than eight times the numbers. Convert this into a numerical format;

[tex]3x - 5 = 4 + 8x[/tex]

where x = " the number "

[tex]3x - 5 = 4 + 8x,\\- 5 = 4 + 5x,\\- 9 = 5x,\\\\x = - 9 / 5 \\\\Solution - Option A[/tex]

If you wish, take a look at this verbal explanation. To solve the equation 3x - 5 = 4 + 8x, one would first subtract 3x on either side of the equation, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 4 + 5x. Subtracting - 4 from either side, - 5 - 4 = - 9, and so we receive - 9 = 5x. Dividing 5 on either side, x = - 9 / 5, Option A.

O -5
O 0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Line segment JK

[tex]J = (1,-10)[/tex]

[tex]K = (7,2)[/tex]

Ratio; [tex]m:n= 5:1[/tex]

Required

Find the coordinates of y

From the question; the formula to use is

[tex]y = (\frac{m}{m+n})(y_2 - y_1) + y_1[/tex]

We have that; m = 5; n = 1

[tex]J =(x_1, y_1) = (1,-10)[/tex]

Hence, [tex]y_1 = -10[/tex]

[tex]K = (x_2,y_2)= (7,2)[/tex]

Hence, [tex]y_2 =2[/tex]

Substitute the above values in the given formula;

[tex]y = (\frac{m}{m+n})(y_2 - y_1) + y_1[/tex] becomes

[tex]y = (\frac{5}{5+1})(2 - (-10)) + (-10)[/tex]

Solve brackets

[tex]y = (\frac{5}{6})(2 +10)) - 10[/tex]

[tex]y = (\frac{5}{6})(12)) - 10[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y = \frac{5}{6} * 12 - 10[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{5*12}{6}- 10[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{60}{6}- 10[/tex]

[tex]y = 10 - 10[/tex]

The sides of ∆ABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center. Tricia says that ∆ABC must be equilateral. Which explains whether Tricia is correct?

Answers

Answer:

Tricia is correct because the sides of the triangle are congruent since they are  equidistant from the center of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sides of ΔABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center. This implies the triangle is drawn within the circumference of the circle with a center.

Bisecting the three sides of the triangle shows that the three bisectors intersect at a point which is the center of the circle, and the lines are equidistant to this point. This proves that the length of the sides of the triangle are equal, so that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. Therefore, Tricia's statement is correct.

elimination means to get rid of one variable by altering the coefficients of variable (by multiplying and diving by some constant number)

in this case, if you just add the two equation, y gets cancelled you get 5x=20 or x=4

put it in any equation to get y (this works because both lines pass through the same point, so they must satisfy that point) to get y=2

Answer: (4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this systems of equation by substitution, graphing, and elimination

Solving by Elimination was found to be the easiest for me.

3x+2y=16

2x-2y=4

eliminate 2y because a positive and a negative will equal zero.

3x+2x=5x, 16+4=20

5x=20, divide 5 on both sides

x=4

Now we solve for y

You can plug in 4 for x in either equations

I did the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

A straight line is passing through two points (0, 2) and (3, 1).

Slope of this line ([tex]m_1[/tex]) = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

                                   = [tex]\frac{2-1}{0-3}[/tex]

                                   = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Let the slope of a parallel to the line given in the graph = [tex]m_2[/tex]

By the property of parallel lines,

[tex]m_1=m_2[/tex]

[tex]m_2=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Equation of a line passing through a point (x', y') and slope 'm' is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Therefore, equation of the parallel line which passes through (-3, 0) and having slope = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] will be,

What is an imaginary number?

An imaginary number is a number that, when squared, has a negative result. Essentially, an imaginary number is the square root of a negative number and does not have a tangible value.

According to the given question.

We have to take square root both sides of the equation.

Then we get imaginary roots only when there is some negative number under the radical symbol. That is when the radicand is negative.

Hence, the roots of the equation are imaginary because of negative radicand.
