PLEASE! 10 POINTS! For what number A does the equation 3Ax - 24 = 5x - 9 + x have no solutions for x?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are no solutions for x, both sides x cancel leaving an equation with two distinct numbers equal to each other (e.g. 6 = 0). Therefore, we must find a number A for which that happens.

Lets first simplify the equation, 3Ax - 24 = 5x - 9 + x = 6x - 9.

We want to cancel out the 6x on both sides. This happens when the left side also has 6x, so 3Ax = 6x -> A = 2.

Testing out this works, we get:

6x - 24 = 6x - 9 -> -24 = -9 (which isn’t true)

We get no solutions, which is what we are looking for! Therefore, A = 2 must be our answer!

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

A. [tex] x \leq -16[/tex]  

B. b > 11

C. [tex] c \leq -13 [/tex]

D. [tex] x \geq -9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following algebraic expression;

A. [tex] \frac {3x}{4} \leq 12 [/tex]

We would simplify the equation by multiplying all through by 4;

[tex] 4 * \frac {-3x}{4} \leq 12 * 4[/tex]

[tex] -3x \leq 48[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3;

[tex] x \leq -16[/tex]

B. 5b - 28 > 27

Rearranging the equation, we have;

5b > 27 + 28

5b > 55

Divide both sides by 5

b > 11

C. [tex] 13c \leq -169[/tex]

Divide both sides by 13

[tex] c \leq -13 [/tex]

D. [tex] 3x - 7 \geq 4x + 2[/tex]

Collecting like terms, we have;

[tex] 3x - 4x \geq 2 + 7[/tex]

[tex] -x \geq 9[/tex]

Divide both sides by -1

M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates
(-7,4), and M has coordinates (-4, -1). Find
the coordinates of N.
Help explain pls?

Answers

Answer:   (-1, -6)

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

Explanation:

Let's focus on the x coordinates of each point for now.

Point A has x coordinate -7Point N has an unknown x coordinate. We leave it as x for now.Point M has x coordinate -4

The idea to find the midpoint's coordinates is to add up the endpoints coordinates and divide by 2.

So we'll add up -7 and x, then divide by 2 to get the midpoint x coordinate of -4

In short we have:  (-7+x)/2 = -4

Solving for x leads to...

(-7+x)/2 = -4

-7+x = 2*(-4)

-7+x = -8

x = -8+7

x = -1

This is the x coordinate of point N

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

We'll repeat the same idea and steps for the y coordinates

Point A has y coordinate 4Point N has y coordinate unknown. Leave it as y for now.Point M has y coordinate -1

So,

(4+y)/2 = -1

4+y = 2(-1)

4+y = -2

y = -2-4

y = -6

This is the y coordinate of point N.

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

In summary, we found that point N is located at (-1, -6)

Point A is (-7,4) and point N is (-1,-6)

If you apply the midpoint formula to those two points, you should find the midpoint to be M(-4,-1) which helps confirm the answer.

Another way to confirm the answer is to compute the distance from A to M, which finds the length of segment AM. Do the same for segment MN. You should find that both segments are the same length.

The diagram below is a visual way to check. Starting at point A and moving down to point B, we moved 5 units. Then go from B to M and you'll move 3 units to the right. This pattern "down 5, right 3" is applied again when we go from M to C to N in that order. This effectively creates two congruent triangles (ABM and MCN) which can lead to proving AM = MN.

In short: the red piece of the graph is the same length as the blue piece; this confirms we have the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Question , M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates (-7,4), and M has coordinates (-4, -1).

Figure :-

[tex] \setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(20,12) \put(4,0.2){\line(0,-1){0.4}}\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}} \put(3.8,-0.6){$\bf M(-4,-1) $} \put(1,-0.6){$\bf A (-7,4)$} \put(6.8,-0.6){$\bf N(x,y)$} \end{picture}[/tex]

Let the coordinates of N be ( x , y )

Now , according to Midpoint Formula , the midpoint of points say A(x , y) and B (x' , y') is given by ,

[tex]\boxed{\blue{ \bf Midpoint =\bigg( \dfrac{x+x'}{2} , \dfrac{y+y'}{2} \bigg) }}[/tex]

On using this formula ,

[tex]=> Midpoint = \bigg( \dfrac{x+x'}{2} , \dfrac{y+y'}{2} \bigg) \\ \\ => (-4, 1) = \bigg( \dfrac{x -7 }{2} , \dfrac{y + 4 }{2}\bigg) \\ \\ => -4 = \dfrac{x-7}{2} \\\\ => x - 7 = -8 \\\\ => x = 7 -8 \\\\ \boxed{\red{\sf=> x = -1 }} \\\\ => \dfrac{y+4}{2}=-1 \\\\=> y +4 = -2 \\ \\ y = -4-2 \\\\\boxed{\red{\sf=> y = -6 }}[/tex]

To find:

The equation that best describes the  relationship between the corresponding values of x and y.

Solution:

Consider any two points from the given table, i.e., (0,3) amd (1,5).

So, the equation of line is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-3=\dfrac{5-3}{1-0}(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]y-3=\dfrac{2}{1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]y-3=2x[/tex]

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

[tex]y=2x+3[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C.

In a game, the probability that a spinner will land on a 2 is 1/3. How many times would you expect to land on a 2 if you spin the spinner 6 times?

Answers

Answer:

2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of 1/3 means that the spinner will land on a 2, 1/3 of the time:

We can predict how many times it will land on a 2 by finding 1/3 of 6:

6/3

= 2

So, the spinner will land on a 2, two times

Number of times probability of landing on a 2 is 2, when you spin the spinner 6 times.

What is the probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Given that, in a game, the probability that a spinner will land on a 2 is 1/3.

If you spin the spinner 6 times, probability of landing on a 2 is

1/3 ×6

= 2

Therefore, number of times probability of landing on a 2 is 2.

At a hardware store, a tool set normally cost $80. During a sale this week, the tool set costs $12 less than usual.

What percentage of the usual price is the saving? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

15 % of usual price is a savings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that tool set normally cost $80

During the sale this week the tools that cost $12 less than usual

To find: what percentage of the usual price is a savings

From given information,

Usual price of tool set = $ 80

Given that tools that cost $12 less than usual which means she saved $ 12

Savings = $ 12

To find what percentage of the usual price is a savings, we can solve by framing a expression,

Let "x" be the required percentage

Then x % of percentage is equal to savings price

x % of usual price = savings price

x % of 80 = 12

Therefore 15 % of usual price is a savings

Answer:

Answer is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do a proportion

12. = x

How does sign changing works?

Sign changing in equation does by multiplying -1 on both the sides.

So, if we had [tex]a + b = c[/tex]

Then, its signs are changed as:

[tex]-1(a + b) = -1 \times c\\-a -b = -c[/tex]


For the given case, the mistake occurred during transition from step 5 to step 6. Step 6 is wrong as when sign was changed, sin of cos(θ) remain same, which makes step 5 and step 6 not equal to each other.

The correct proof would be like:

[tex]\rm \cos(2x) = 1- 2\sin^2(x)\\Let\: 2x = \theta\\\\Then: x = \dfrac{\theta}{2}\\\\\cos(\theta) = 1 - 2\sin^2(\dfrac{\theta}{2})\\-1 + \cos(\theta) = -2\sin^2(\dfrac{\theta}{2})\\\\1 - \cos(\theta) = 2\sin^2(\dfrac{\theta}{2})\\\\\dfrac{1-\cos(\theta)}{2} = \sin^2(\dfrac{\theta}{2})\\\\\sin(\theta) = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos(\theta)}{2} }[/tex]

Thus, the erroneous step in the proof is given by: Option B: Step 6.

From the roof of a building, a ball is thrown into the air. The height of the ball, h, in
metres after t seconds is given byh = -t2 + 4t + 12.
a) What is the height of the building?
b) How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?
c) What is the maximum height of the ball and when does it occur?
d) When will the ball have a height of exactly 7m above the ground?

Answers

Answer:

a) The height of the building is 12 metres.

b) The ball will take 6 seconds to hit the ground.

c) The maximum height of the ball is 16 metres and occurs 2 seconds after launch.

d) The ball have a height of 7 meters above the ground 5 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The roof of the building is represented by the initial height of the ball according to the function. If we know that [tex]t = 0\,s[/tex], the height of the building, measured in metres, is:

[tex]y = -(0\,s)^{2}+4\cdot (0\,s) + 12[/tex]

[tex]y = 12\,m[/tex]

The height of the building is 12 metres.

b) Let equalise the given polynomial and solve for [tex]t[/tex] to determine the time taken for the ball to hit the ground:

[tex]-t^{2}+4\cdot t +12 = 0[/tex] (1)

By the Quadratic Formula, we find the following solutions:

[tex]t_{1} = 6\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} = -2\,s[/tex]

Since time is a positive variable, then the only solution that is physically reasonable is:

[tex]t = 6\,s[/tex]

The ball will take 6 seconds to hit the ground.

c) The maximum height of the ball occurs when speed is equal to zero. First, we differentiate the function and equalise to zero:

[tex]-2\cdot t + 4 = 0[/tex] (2)

[tex]t = 2\,s[/tex]

Lastly, we evaluate the function at given time:

[tex]y = -(2\,s)^{2}+4\cdot (2\,s)+12[/tex]

[tex]y = 16\,m[/tex]

The maximum height of the ball is 16 metres and occurs 2 seconds after launch.

d) We equalise the height formula to seven and solve the resulting polynomial:

[tex]-t^{2}+4\cdot t + 12 = 7[/tex]

[tex]-t^{2}+4\cdot t +5 = 0[/tex] (3)

By the Quadratic Formula, we get the following solutions:

[tex]t_{1} \approx 5\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx -1\,s[/tex]

The only solution that is physically reasonable is [tex]t = 5\,s[/tex].

The ball have a height of 7 meters above the ground 5 seconds after launch.
