Let $p$ and $q$ be the two distinct solutions to the equation $$(x-3)(x+3) = 21x - 63.$$
If $p > q$, what is the value of $p - q$?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

p and q are the two distinct solutions to the equation

[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21x-63[/tex]

To find:

The value of p-q if p>q.

Solution:

We have,

[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21x-63[/tex]

[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21(x-3)[/tex]

[tex](x-3)(x+3)-21(x-3)=0[/tex]

[tex](x-3)(x+3-21)=0[/tex]

[tex](x-3)(x-18)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex]x-3=0\text{ and }x-18=0[/tex]

[tex]x=3\text{ and }x=18[/tex]

Here, 18>3, so p=18 and q=3.

Now,

[tex]p-q=18-3[/tex]

[tex]p-q=12[/tex]

Therefore, the value of p-q is 12.

Quincy rides his bicycle 1 mile in 4 minutes, and his sister Marissa runs 13,376 feet in 16 minutes. In miles per hour approximately how much faster is Quincy than Marissa? (Note: 1 mile = 5,280 feet)

Answers

Answer:

Quincy is 5.5 mi/h faster than Marissa

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed

It's required to compare the speed of Quincy and Marissa knowing that Quincy rides his bicycle 1 mile in 4 minutes.

The speed can be calculated as the distance by the time, but it's required to express the speed in miles/hour.

4 minutes is 4/60 = 0.0667 hours, thus Quincy's speed is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1\ mile}{0.0667\ h}=15\ mi/h[/tex]

Quincy rides at 15 miles/hour.

Marissa runs 13,376 feet in 16 minutes. Since 1 mile=5,280 feet:

13,376 / 5,280 = 2.533 miles

16 minutes = 16/60 = 0.2667 hours

Marissa's speed is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2.533\ mile}{0.2667 \ h}=9.5\ mi/h[/tex]

The difference is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 mi/h

Quincy is 5.5 mi/h faster than Marissa

Solve each system using substitution.

1. 4x= 3y-2 ; 18= 3x+y​

Answers

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

so since you have 2 variables, you need to find a substitution for one of them.

let's do that for y

let y = something in the second equation.

y = 18 - 3x

then plug this into the first equation

4x = 3(18 - 3x) - 2

4x = 54 - 9x -2

4x = 52 - 9x

13x = 52

x = 4

now you have x, plug it into any of the equations to find y.

4(4) = 3y - 2

16  = 3y - 2

18 = 3y

y = 6

Answer:

x = 4, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting y into 1:

4x= 3y-2 -----1

18= 3x+y -----2

Isolate the y in 2.

y = 18-3x -----3

Substitute 3 into 1.

4x= 3(18-3x)-2

Evaluate.

4x = 54-9x-2

Keep like terms together.

4x+9x = 54-2

Simplify.

13x = 52

Find x.

x = 52 ÷ 13

  = 4

Substitute x into 3.

y = 18-3(4)

Evaluate.

y = 18-12

Find y.

y = 6

Answer:

135.05 ; 2.762 ; (133.201, 136.899) ; (132.840, 137.260)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Urban area Price/liter

St. John, NL 137.1

Halifax 133.6

Montreal 136.2

Regina 132.3

Saskatoon 132.2

Yellowknife 138.9

Mean = (137.1 + 133.6 + 136.2 + 132.3 + 132.2 + 138.9) / 6

= 810.3 / 6

= 135.05

Standard deviation (σ) : √Σ(X - mean)²/n-1

(137.1 - 135.05)^2 + (133.6 - 135.05)^2 + (136.2 - 135.05)^2 + (132.3 - 135.05)^2 + (132.2 - 135.05)^2+ (138.9 - 135.05)^2 = 38.135

√(38.135 / (6 - 1))

= √7.627

= 2.7617023

= 2.762

C.)

90% confidence interval of the mean :

Mean ± Zcrit * σ/√n

Zcrit at 90% = 1.64

135.05 ± 1.64 * (2.762/√6)

135.05 ± 1.64 * 1.1275817

Lower Value = (135.05 - (1.64 * 1.1275817)) = 133.201

Upper Value = (135.05 + (1.64 * 1.1275817))) = 136.899

Confidence interval = (133.201, 136.899)

D.)

95% confidence interval of the mean :

Mean ± Zcrit * σ/√n

Zcrit at 95% = 1.96

135.05 ± 1.96 * (2.762/6)

135.05 ± 1.96 * 1.1275817

Lower Value = (135.05 - (1.96 * 1.1275817)) = 132.840

Upper Value = (135.05 + (1.96 * 1.1275817)) = 137.260

Confidence interval = (132.840, 137.260)

Step-by-step explanation:

4y = 2x + 8

First get the equation in slope intercept form  y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = 2x/4 +8/4

y = 1/2x +2

The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Manipulate your equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept.

To do this, divide 4 from both sides:

b = 2

In triangle XYZ, angle Y = 45º and angle Z = 60º. If XZ = 4, then what is XY?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]XZ= 4[/tex]

[tex]\angle Y = 45[/tex]

[tex]\angle Z = 60[/tex]

Required

Determine the measure of side XY

To do this, we make use of sine law. This is as follows:

[tex]\frac{a}{\sin\ A} = \frac{b}{\sin\ B} = \frac{c}{\sin\ C}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]\frac{4}{\sin(45)} = \frac{XY}{\sin(60)}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]XY * \sin(45) = 4 * \sin(60)[/tex]

[tex]XY * 0.7071 = 4 * 0.8660[/tex]

Make XY the subject

[tex]XY = \frac{4 * 0.8660}{0.7071}[/tex]

[tex]XY = \frac{3.4640}{0.7071}[/tex]

[tex]XY = 4.89888276057[/tex]

[tex]XY = 4.9[/tex] -- approximated
