If 4 times a number is decreased by 3 and this difference is squared, the result is 9. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

"4 times a number" : 4x

"4 times a number is decreased by 3" : 4x -3

"this difference is squared" : (4x -3)²

"the result is 9" : (4x -3)² = 9    (solve this equation for x)

(4x -3)² = 9   (square root of both sides)

4x-3 = ±√9

4x-3 = ±3  (add 3 to both sides)

4x = ±3 + 3

Hence

4x = 3 + 3 = 6 ====> x = 6/4=3/2

or

4x = -3 + 3 = 0 ====> x = 0

For which of the following inequalities is x greater than or equal to 4 a solution?A) x + 3 is greater than or equal to 1
B) 3x is greater than or equal to 1
C) x - 3 is greater than or equal to 1

Answers

Either a or b. Depends on what X equals.For example, question a.-X+3, it has to be at least 1.Answer b-3X, has to be a little over 2. So I guess the most correct answer has to be A.

Sam draws a quadrilateral. It has one pair of parallel sides. What figure did Sam draw? Please Show Your Work

Answers

I am sorry but I might not be able to show my work. But the answer is a trapezoid. This is what I did. I looked through my geometry angles, lines and shapes flash cards and saw the trapezoid. It only has one pair of parrelell sides. ( in a regular one it would be the top and bottom) and it has four sides so it is a quadrilateral. And so the answer is a trapezoid. I hope this helped you!

Combine the like terms to make a simpler expression: 8r+7−6r−5

Answers

The final expression after combining like terms is 2r + 2.

We are given that;

The expression 8r+7−6r−5

Now,

According to the search results, combining like terms is a common technique for simplifying algebraic expressions. Like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponent.

To combine like terms, simply add or subtract their coefficients and keep the common variable part.

The coefficient is the number that appears in front of the variable.

In given expression, 8r+7−6r−5, there are two like terms: 8r and -6r.

They have the same variable r and exponent .

To combine them, we add their coefficients: 8 + (-6) = 2.

We keep the common variable part r.

So, 8r - 6r = 2r.

The other two terms, 7 and -5, are also like terms.

They are constants with no variables.

To combine them, we add their coefficients: 7 + (-5) = 2.

So, 7 - 5 = 2.

Therefore, by algebra the answer will be 2r + 2.

An arch at a new amusement park is constructed with two vertical walls and parabolic arch top, where X represents the horizontal distance in feet and f(x) represents the height in feet. The y-axis represents the vertical left edge of the arch. Since the arch and it’s base are symmetrical, complete the equation for the line containing the vertical, right edge of the arch.

X=

Answers

The equation for the line containing the vertical right edge of the arch is x = 60.

How can we find the equation of the line representing the right edge?

The line representing the right edge is the line passing through the parabola on the right side at y = 20.

We can find the equation of the line as follows:

It is given that the left edge of the arch is the y-axis.

The parabola and the vertical base are symmetrical.

We can see that the left edge begins (0, 20). This means that the right edge would also have y = 20.

Observe the given graph. We can see that the parabola passes y = 20 again at the point (60, 20).

This means that the equation of the line representing the right edge is x = 60.

Therefore, we have found the equation for the line containing the vertical right edge of the arch to be x = 60.

Answer:

The answer is x=60.

Since the arch and its base are symmetrical, so that other side of arch should be at (x, 20).  Refer to x-axis when y is equal to 20.  Thus, x=60.

I just took the test and the answer is correct.
