Find x in terms of the other letters a( x + b ) = c( x + d )

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{cd-ab}{a-c}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is worded in a complicated way. All it says is to solve the equation for x. Do this by isolating x on one side of the equation.

First step is to distribute the a and c on either side,

ax+ab=cx+cd

Subtract cx from both sides,

ax+ab-cx=cd

Next, subtract ab from both sides,

ax-cx=cd-ab

Then, factor out x from the left side,

x(a-c)=cd-ab

Finally, divide both sides by a-c,

[tex]x=\frac{cd-ab}{a-c}[/tex]

There are 75 new houses being built in a neighborhood. Last month, 2/5 of them were sold. This month,1/3 of the remaining houses were sold. How many houses are left to be sold? ​

Answers

You start with 75 houses

2/5 were sold, which mean 3/5 remain
3/5 of 75 is 45

Then, 1/3 of the REMAINING (45) houses were sold. Since 1/3 were sold, 2/3 remain of 45.
2/3 of 45 is 30

30 houses are left to be sold

Answer:

[tex]a_{14} = 10496[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is of the form:

[tex]ar^0, ar^1, ar^2, ar^3, \cdot \cdot \cdot[/tex]

So the given values can be represent as:

[tex]1. \quad ar^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\2. \quad ar^{10} = -164[/tex]

So you have a system of equations with two unknows [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex]. Then you can find one unknow in terms of the other.

[tex]a = \frac{-164}{r^{10}}[/tex]

Now replace [tex]a[/tex] in the first equation

[tex]\frac{-164}{r^{10}}r^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\\frac{-164}{r^{5}} = \frac{41}{256}\\r^5 = \frac{256 \cdot -164}{41} = -\frac{41984}{41}\\r = \sqrt[5]{-\frac{41984}{41}}\\[/tex]

You don't have to worry about the negative number inside the root, because is a odd root then you can find odd negative numbers that give me the desire result.

[tex]r = -\frac{4\sqrt[5]{41} }{\sqrt[5]{41}} \\r = -4[/tex]

For find [tex]a[/tex] only replace [tex]r[/tex] in whatever of the two equations.

[tex]-a4^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\-a1024 = \frac{41}{256}\\a = -\frac{41}{262144}[/tex]

After find [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex] use the next formula for find the [tex]14^{th}[/tex] term.

[tex]ar^{13} = x\\-\frac{41}{262144} \cdot -4^{13} = x\\\\10496 = x[/tex]

Hiep is writing a coordinate proof to show that the midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to its bases. He starts by assigning coordinates as given, where RS¯¯¯¯¯ is the midsegment of trapezoid KLMN. Trapezoid K L M N on the coordinate plane. The vertices of the trapezoid are K begin ordered pair 0 commas 0 ends ordered pair, L begins ordered pair 2a comma 0 end ordered pair, M begin ordered pair 2d comma 2c end ordered pair, and N begin ordered pair 2b comma 2c end ordered pair. Segment R S is drawn with point R on segment K N and point S on segment L M. Drag and drop the correct answers to complete the proof. Since RS¯¯¯¯¯ is the midsegment of trapezoid KLMN, the coordinates of R are (b, Response area) and the coordinates of S are (, c). The slope of KL¯¯¯¯¯ is the Response area. The slope of RS¯¯¯¯¯is 0. The slope of NM¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 0. The slope of each segment is 0; therefore, the midsegment is parallel to the bases. choices - a, b,c,d a+d, 0, 1, 2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

boy, that is hard to decipher ...

but from what I understood after a while of reading and re-reading, the proof is based on the equal slope (0) of all 3 lines showing that all 3 lines are parallel.

remember, the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

so, going from N to M :

x changes by (2d - 2b) units.

y changes by 0 units (2c to 2c).

so, the slope of NM is 0/(2d - 2b) = 0.

going from K to L :

x changes by (2a - 0) = 2a units.

y changes by 0 units (0 to 0).

so, the slope of KL is 0/2a = 0.

R and S are the middle points between K and N, and between L and M.

R = ((2b+0)/2, (2c+0)/2) = (b, c)

S = ((2d + 2a)/2, (2c + 0)/2) = ((d+a), c)

so, going from R to S :

x changes by (d+a-b) units.

y changes by 0 units (c to c).

so, the slope of KL is 0/(d+a-b) = 0.

as all 3 slopes are equal (and with being 0 also parallel to the x-axis), this proves that the line RS is parallel to its bases.

You are expected to understand this question gives you two relations in two unknowns. The first step is to assign a variable to each of the unknowns. We can use ...

x = cost of a milk shakey = cost of a sundae

The given relations have to do with the prices of different quantities of these:

  2x +3y = 26.25 . . . . . . cost of 2 shakes and 3 sundaes

  4x +2y = 29.50 . . . . . . cost of 4 shakes and 2 sundaes

These two equations in two unknowns can be solved several ways. Here, it is convenient to use the method of "elimination", because the coefficients of x are related by a small integer. Subtracting the second equation from 2 times the first eliminates the x-variable (hence the name of the method).

  2(2x +3y) -(4x +2y) = 2(26.25) -(29.50)

  4y = 23.00 . . . . . . simplify

  y = 5.75 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 4

The cost of an ice cream sundae is $5.75.

We can substitute this value into either equation and solve for x. We would find the cost of a shake to be x=4.50. However, the question only asks for the price of a sundae.

There are formulas for the perimeter, area, and volume of various geometric figures of a generally circular or rectangular shape. You might find it convenient to memorize them. Here, you need the formulas for the volume of a cylinder and of a cone. You also need to know that the diameter of a circle is 2 times the radius of the circle, since most of the circle-related formulas are in terms of the radius.

Volume of a cone of radius r and height h: V = 1/3πr²h

Volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h: V = πr²h

It can be convenient to remember that a cone has 1/3 the volume of a cylinder the same height.

The relation of interest here is the volume of the silo is the sum of the volumes of the bottom cylinder and the top cone.

  V = π(20 ft)²(60 ft) + 1/3(20 ft)²(x ft) = 26000π ft³

  V = 24000π ft³ +(400/3)x·π ft³ = 26000π ft³ . . . . simplify a bit

  400/3·x = 2000 . . . . . . . divide by π ft³, and subtract 24000

  x = 2000(3/400) = 15 . . . . multiply by 3/400

The height of the top portion is 15 feet.

This has to do with understanding the meaning of a table and of an expression relating table values. The expression f(a) = g(b) means you're looking for table entries such that the number in the f(x) column is equal to the number in the g(x) column.

We find the only common function value to be -1, so f(-6) = -1 = g(1). Comparing this to f(a) = g(b), we see that a=-6.

The question asks for |g(a)|. The table tells us g(-6) = -8. Its absolute value will be the value without the negative sign:

  |g(-6)| = |-8| = 8 = |g(a)|

This is a polynomial division problem. It tells you the quotient of the quadratic, divided by (ax +2), is (3x -4) with a remainder of 66. We're concerned with the leading coefficient of the divisor, 'a'.

Polynomial long division is much simpler than numerical long division, because each quotient term is the leading dividend term divided by the leading divisor term. Here, that means ...

  96x²/(ax) = 3x

Multiplying by ax gives ...

  96x² = 3ax²

Dividing by 3x², we see that ...

  (96x²)/(3x²) = (3ax²)/(3x²)

  96/3 = a = 32

The value of 'a' is 32.

Answer: Choice C

==========================================================

Explanation:

Recall that the form

[tex]z = r*\left[\cos\left(\theta\right)+i*\sin\left(\theta\right)\right][/tex]

can be abbreviated to

[tex]z = r*\text{cis}(\theta)[/tex]

The "cis" stands for the first letters of "cosine i sine" in that order.

The original fairly messy quotient can be shortened down to

[tex]\frac{90\text{cis}(\pi/4)}{2\text{cis}(\pi/12)}[/tex]

We have 90cis(pi/4) all over 2cis(pi/12) as one big fraction.

-------------------------------

Now we'll use this rule to divide two complex numbers

[tex]z_1 = r_1*\text{cis}(\theta_1)\\\\z_2 = r_2*\text{cis}(\theta_2)\\\\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2}*\text{cis}(\theta_1-\theta_2)\\\\[/tex]

As you can see, we divide the r1 and r2 values to form the final coefficient out front. The theta angles are subtracted to form the new argument.

-------------------------------

Let's apply that idea to what your teacher gave you

[tex]z_1 = 90*\text{cis}(\pi/4)\\\\z_2 = 2*\text{cis}(\pi/12)\\\\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = \frac{90}{2}*\text{cis}(\pi/4 - \pi/12)\\\\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = 45\text{cis}(3\pi/12 - \pi/12)\\\\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = 45\text{cis}(2\pi/12)\\\\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = 45\text{cis}(\pi/6)\\\\[/tex]

That last step then converts directly to the expression shown in choice C.
