Solve for the variable: 3(x+2) - 9 = 15 - 4(5x - 2)

Answers

Answer 1

[tex]\tt 3(x+2)-9=15-4(5x-2)[/tex]

To solve this equation, let's apply the distributive property:-

Multiple 3 by ( x+2)/ Subtract 9 from 6 = -3/ and then use the distributive property to multiply −4 by (5x-2) :-

[tex]\tt 3x - 3=15 - 20x+8[/tex]

Add 15 and 8 = 23

[tex]\tt 3x - 3=23 - 20x[/tex]

Now, add 20x to both sides:-

[tex]\tt 3x - 3=23 - 20x[/tex]

Combine like terms:-

[tex]\tt 23x-3=23[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides:-

[tex]\tt 23x=23+3[/tex]

[tex] \tt 23x=26[/tex]

Divide both sides by 23:-

[tex]\tt \: x = \dfrac{26}{23} [/tex]

Find an equation of the plane passing through the points (1, 5, -3), (2, 5, -3) and (3, 5,2)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 5[/tex].

Or, equivalently:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -3 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} \left(\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y \\ z\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix}\right) = 0\end{aligned}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Every plane in [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3}[/tex] could be represented with a vector equation of the form [tex]\vec{n}\, (\vec{r} - \vec{r}_{0}) = 0[/tex], where:

[tex]\vec{n}[/tex] is a vector normal to the plane (a normal vector), and [tex]\vec{r}_{0}[/tex] is the position vector of a point in the plane.

Notice that in this question, the coordinates (and hence the position vectors) of the points in this plane are already given. For example, the position vector of the point [tex](1,\, 5,\, -3)[/tex] is the vector:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\vec{r}_{0} = \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Specifically in [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3}[/tex], normal vectors of a plane could be found by:

finding two distinct directions parallel to that plane, and taking the cross product between the two directions.

Subtracting position vectors of points in this plane from each other would give directions that are parallel to this plane:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}\begin{bmatrix}3 \\ 5 \\ 2\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 0 \\ 5\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The cross product between these two vectors in [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3}[/tex] would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \vec{n} = \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 0 \\ 5\end{bmatrix} = & \begin{bmatrix}0 \times 5 - 0 \times 0 \\ 0 \times 2 - 1 \times 5\\ 1 \times 0 - 0 \times 2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -3 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

(Note that the cross product between other directions parallel to the plane might give other normal vectors that are parallel to the one in this example.)

Using the position vector of the point [tex](1,\, 5,\, -3)[/tex] as [tex]\vec{r}_{0}[/tex], one possible vector equation for this plane would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -3 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} \left(\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y \\ z\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 5 \\ -3\end{bmatrix}\right) = 0\end{aligned}[/tex].

Expand the dot product and simplify to obtain a scalar equation for this plane:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -3 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x - 1 \\ y - 5 \\ z - (-3)\end{bmatrix} = 0\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]0\, (x - 1) + (-3)\, (y - 5) + 0\, (z - (-3)) = 0[/tex].

[tex](-3)\, (y - 5) = 0[/tex].

[tex]y = 5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Section (xiii) :

m(AB) : m(AC) = m(BD) : m(DC)6 : 8 = 3 : x6/8 = 3/xx = 3/6 x 8x = 0.5 x 8x = 4

Section (xiv) :

DE = 1/2(AB)3 = 1/2(x + 1)x + 1 = 6x = 5

It is indicated in the diagram that CE = EB :

y - 7 = x - 1y = 5 - 1 + 7y = 12 - 1y = 11

Answer: xiii: x=4        xiv:  x=5 y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, for xiii, there is a ratio.

BD:DC   aka 3:x   You're trying to solve for x (DC)

On the other side of the equation, it's AB:AC aka 6:8  This ratio can be simplified to 3:4 (when you divide both sides by 2)

To set things up:

3:x = 3:4

Notice the similarity? Since they are equal to one another, x must be 4.

Now for xiv, you're trying to find the values of x and y.

DE=3 and AB=x+1

DE=1/2 of AB

so,  

3=(x+1)/2 Solving for x, multiply both sides by 2

6=x+1        subtract both sides by 1

-1     -1

x=5    

If you plug x to AB, AB = 6

Plug x to BE = 4

To find y, notice how there is a dash that marks them as congruent, so the lengths BE and EC must be equal.

so y-7=4     (adding 7 to both sides)

     +7    +7

y=11

Eight trucks hold a total of 10 and 1/2 tons of cargo. Half the trucks are

Answers

Solving a system of equations we will see that two large trucks and one small truck can hold 2.625 tons

How much cargo can two large trucks and one small truck hold?

Let's define the variables:

x = volume that a small truck holds.

y = volume that a large truck holds.

Then we can write the system of equations:

4x + 4y = 10.5 tons

y = 2x

Replacing the second equation into the first one we get.

4x + 4*(2x) = 10.5 tons

12x = 10.5 tons

x = 10.5 tons/12 = 0.875 tons

and:

y = 2x = 2*0.875 tons = 1.75 tons

Then the cargo that two large trucks and one small truck can hold is:

2* 1.75 tons + 0.875 tons = 2.625 tons

Use z scores to compare the given values.
Based on sample​ data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3217.9g and a standard deviation of 780.1g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3086.5g and a standard deviation of 523.8g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they​ came: a male who weighs 1700g or a female who weighs ​1700g?

Answers

Using z-scores, it is found that a female who weighs ​1700g has the more extreme value relative to the group from which they came.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

For the newborn male, we have that [tex]X = 1700, \mu = 3217.9, \sigma = 780.1[/tex], hence the z-score is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1700 - 3217.9}{780.1}[/tex]

Z = -1.946.

For the newborn female, we have that [tex]X = 1700, \mu = 3086.5, \sigma = 523.8[/tex], hence the z-score is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1700 - 3086.5}{523.8}[/tex]

Z = -2.645.

Due to the higher absolute value of the z-score, a female who weighs ​1700g has the more extreme value relative to the group from which they ca,e.

The partial differential expression is equal to the expression 30 · x · (x³ + y⁴) + 36 · x² · y² · (y² + x²) and the total differential formula is Δz = (0.9 · x² + 0.6 · y²) · cos (x³ + y³).

How to apply partial derivatives and total differentials

In the first part of this question we must apply the concept of partial derivatives to find the form of the entire expression, whose variables are two. Partial differentiation is a generalization of the ordinary differentiation:

[tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 6\cdot x^{5}+12\cdot x^{3}\cdot y^{4}+y^{6}[/tex]     (1)

[tex]\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 30\cdot x^{4}+36\cdot x^{2}\cdot y^{4}[/tex]     (2)

[tex]\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \,\partial y} = 48\cdot x^{3}\cdot y^{3}+6\cdot y^{5}[/tex]     (3)

[tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 12\cdot x^{4}\cdot y^{3} +6\cdot x \cdot y^{5}[/tex]     (4)

[tex]\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 36\cdot x^{4}\cdot y^{2} + 30\cdot x\cdot y^{4}[/tex]     (5)

[tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial y \,\partial x} = 48\cdot x^{3}\cdot y^{3}+6\cdot y^{5}[/tex]     (6)

Then, the entire expression is:

30 · x⁴ + 36 · x² · y⁴ + 36 · x⁴ · y² + 30 · x · y⁴

30 · (x⁴ + x · y⁴) + 36 · (x² · y⁴ + x⁴ · y²)

30 · x · (x³ + y⁴) + 36 · x² · y² · (y² + x²)

In the second part we must determine the total differential of z with respect to two variables:

[tex]\Delta z = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\cdot \Delta x + \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\cdot \Delta y[/tex]     (7)

If we know that z = sin (x³ + y³), Δx = 0.3 and Δy = 0.2, then the total differential of the function is:

Δz = 3 · cos (x³ + y³) · x² · (0.3) + 3 · cos (x³ + y³) · y² · (0.2)

Δz = (0.9 · x² + 0.6 · y²) · cos (x³ + y³)
