solve for z
4/z =
12/5
what is z

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5/3      = z

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use proportions to figure this out.

Imma solve this as I work through it.

So

4/z is equal to 12/5. So you can do something called the butterfly method (I have never used this before, but it works tho) and the method involves only multiplication and division.

Lemme clean this up for ya

The butterfly method involves multiplying in a cross format on both sides, so the

4                       12

__        =      ______

z                          5

becomes 4 times 5, and z times 12.

4 times 5 is 20, and z times 12 is 12z

so you now have 20 = 12z

Lets simplify the equation by dividing by 4s

20 divided by 4 is 5 and 12z divided by 4 is 3z

so

5 = 3z

You can divide again

by dividing both sides

by

3

to get the unit rate of z.

It will be a fraction though

and it won't look pretty

but here it is:

5

__  = z

3

So

It is

5/3

Hope this helps

and hope you get a laugh out of this

X^3-4x^2+3x+2=0 find all the real values of x

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor of the polynomial is (x-2)

We know that dividing a third degree polynomial by a first degree factor will yield a quadratic of the form ax²+bx+c and possibly a remainder r,except that in this case r=0 since x-2 is a factor

We therefore equate

x³-4x²+3x+2=(x-2)(ax²+bx+c)+r

x³-4x²+3x+2=ax³+bx²+cx-2ax²-2bx-2c+r

We group terms on the RHS

x³-4x²+3x+2=ax³+x²(b-2a)+x(c-2b)-2c+r

By equating the terms on both sides,

ax³=x³,a=1

Next,

b-2a=-4

b-2(1)=-4

b-2=-4

b=-4+2

b=-2

Next,

c-2b=3

c-2(-2)=3

c+4=3

c=-1

Now we piece together our quotient quadratic using a=1,b=-2,c=-1 to obtain x²-2x-1

We now find the zeros of x²-2x-1

which are 1+√2 and 1-√2

The values of x are therefore 2,1+√2, and 1-√2

Note that I used this method in lieu of the famous polynomial division approach to teach someone also ;)

Answer:

2, 1 +/- sqrt2

or 2, 2.414, -0.414 (correct to the nearest thousandth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 2: then

f(2) = 8 - 16 + 6 + 2 = 0

So x = 2 is one  of the zeros.

So one factor of the function is x-2.

If we divide  the function by  (x - 2) we get:

x-2)X^3-4x^2+3x+2(x^2-2x-1

     x^3- 2x^2

            -2x^2+3x

            -2x^2+4x

                       -x+2

                       -x+2

                        .......

So x^2-2x-1= 0

x = [-(-2 +/- sqrt(4 - 4*-1)] / 2

x = (2 +/- sqrt8) / 2

= 1 +/-sqrt8/2

= 1 +/- sqrt2

A company has a manufacturing plant that is producing quality jackets. They find that in order to produce 150 jackets in a month, it will cost $5500. Also , to produce 370 jackets in a month , it will cost $8580 . Find an equation in the form y = mx + b , where is the number of jackets produced in a month and y is the monthly cost to do so.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 14x + 3400[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent

- number of jackets with x

- costs of jackets with y

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (150,5500)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (370,8580)[/tex]

Required

Write an equation in form of y = mx + b

First, we need to determine the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{8580 - 5500}{370 - 150}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3080}{220}[/tex]

[tex]m = 14\\[/tex]

The equation is calculated using:

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = 14\\[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (150,5500)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y - 5500 = 14(x - 150)[/tex]

[tex]y - 5500 = 14x - 2100[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 14x - 2100 + 5500[/tex]

[tex]y = 14x + 3400[/tex]

Answers

Answer:[tex] \huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{ x = - 2}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf{ - 6x + 13 = - 5(7 + 6x) }[/tex]

Distribute -5 through the parentheses

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 13 =  - 5 \times 7  + ( - 5 )\times 6x}}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x  + 13 =  - 35 + ( - 30x)}}[/tex]

[tex] \text{Remember} : \sf{( + ) \times ( - ) = ( - )}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 13 =  - 35 - 30x}}[/tex]

Move 30x to left hand side and change it's sign

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 30x + 13 = - 35}}[/tex]

Move 13 to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side ) and change it's sign[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 30x= - 35 - 13}}[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{24x = - 35 - 13}}[/tex]

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign.[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{24x = - 48 }}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 24

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{24x}{24} = \frac{ - 48}{24}}} [/tex]

Dividing a negative integer by a positive integers gives a negative integer.

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{x = -2 }}[/tex]

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

Verification:

L.H.S = -6x + 13

Plug the value of x and simplify

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6 \times ( - 2) + 13}}[/tex]

Multiplying negative integers by a negative integer gives a positive integer.

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ 12 + 13}}[/tex]

Add the numbers : 12 and 13

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{25}}[/tex]

R.H.S = -5 ( 7 + 6x )

plug the value of x and simplify

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5(7 + 6 \times ( - 2)}})[/tex]

Multiplying a positive integer by any negative integer gives a negative integer.

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf - 5(7 + ( - 12)}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{-5(7 - 12)}}[/tex]

Subtract 12 from 7

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5 \times ( - 5)}}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{25}}[/tex]

L.H.S = R.H.S

The value of x is -2 .

Answer:

There are 625 trees in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that there are x trees in the park

∵ The number of trees in the park = x

27% of them are oaks

16% are pins

33% of them are banyans

∵ The remaining are willows

→ The percentage of the total number of trees is 100%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - (27 + 16 + 33)%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - 76%

The percent of the remaining = 24%

∵ The number of willows trees = 150

24% of x = 150

∴ 24% × x = 150

→ Change the percent to a decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 24% = [tex]\frac{24}{100}[/tex] = 0.24

∴ 0.24 × x = 150

∴ 0.24x = 150

→ Divide both sides by 0.24

x = 625

There are 625 trees at the park.

What is the measure of angle x?

Answers

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the measure of each interior angle of the octagon.

Measure of each interior angle of the octagon = [tex] \frac{(n - 2)180}{n} [/tex]

Where, n = 8.

Plug in the value of n into the formula

[tex] = \frac{(8 - 2)180}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{(6)180}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1,080}{8} = 135 [/tex]

x = 180 - 135 (straight line theorem.)

x = 45°

first, i’d put the fraction into a decimal, then distribute, for example the fraction would be multiplied by y and 3 separately. then equal that to 40. it should now be a simple equation

Answer:

y = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the distributive property:

5/9 * y and 5/9 * 3

and now you have: 5/9y + 15/9 = 40

and we have to isolate y so subtract 15/9 from both sides:

5/9y + 15/9 = 40

        - 15/9     -15/9

and now you have 5/9y = 345/9

and now divide both sides by 5/9 so: 5/9y divided by 5/9 = y

and 345/9 divided by 5/9 = 345/5 and lets simplify....

y= 69

Points (-2, 3) and (x, 0) have a slope of 1/5.Find the x coordinate of the point.

Answers

Answer:

x = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 1/5(x - (-2))

y - 3 = 1/5(x + 2)

y - 3 = 1/5x + 0.4

y = 1/5x + 0.4 + 3

y = 1/5x + 3.4

Now we plug in y as 0 to find x

y = 1/5x + 3.4

(0) = 1/5x + 3.4

-3.4 = 1/5x + 3.4 - 3.4

-3.4 = 1/5x times 5

-3.4 times 5 = x

-17 = x

Answer:

x = -17 (Verified Answer) ✅

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the slope, we can solve for an unknown coordinate. First, let's review how to calculate slope.

Slope = Rise/Run (Change in y/Change in x)

In this case, we know the slope, so we will write out the slope formula. We will use the substitution method to solve this.

m = rise/run

rise = y2- y1 substituting ----> 3 - 0 = 3

run = x2 - x1 substituting ----> -2 - x = run

Now, we can return to the slope formula, as we now have enough information to solve.

1/5 = 3/R

To solve, we simply need to find the equivalent fraction of 1/5. We will use a proportion.

1R = 5 x 3

R = 15

Now that we know R, we can substitute it into the equation for run.

So, we now have:

15 = -2 - x

Subtracting -2 from both sides, gives us x = -17.

Finally, we must check our answer to make sure we are getting the correct slope when we calculate.

m = (3 - 0)/(-2 - -17)

m = 3/15 OR 1/5

Since. this matches the original slope we were given, we can be sure the answer is correct.
