Consider this equation: -2x - 4 + 5x = 8 Generate a plan to solve for the cariable. Describe the steps that will be used.

1 answer:

8 0

We are given the function –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.

Jennifer has a bag of chips that contains 2 red chips and 1 black chip. If she also has a fair die, what is the probability that

fredd [130]

<span> the probability that she rolls an odd number AND and pulls a red chip

so it is = Prob(odd no) * Prob(red chip)

Prob(odd no) for a fair die = 1/2

Prob(red chip) = red chip / total chip = 2/(2+1) = 2/3

so the ans is 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

$950 = $700 + c

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

Define four symbolic constants that represent integer 25 in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1) Decimal $25= (25)_{10}$

2) Binary $25= (11001)_2$

3) Octal $25= (31)_8$

4) Hexadecimal $25= (19)_{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Integer is 25

To find : Represent integer in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats.

Solution :

1) Integer into decimal - To convert into decimal the base goes to 10.

So, $25= (25)_{10}$

2) Integer into binary - To convert into binary the base goes to 2, it form in 0 and 1 and we divide integer by 2.

Divide 25 by 2 and note down the remainders.

2 | 25

2 | 12 R=1 ←

2 | 6 R=0 ↑

2 | 3 R=0 ↑

2 | 1 → R=1 ↑

So, $25= (11001)_2$

3) Integer into octal - To convert into octal the base goes to 8 and we divide integer by 8.

Divide 25 by 8 and note down the remainders.

8 | 25

| 3 → R=1

So, $25= (31)_8$

4) Integer into hexadecimal - To convert into hexadecimal the base goes to 16 and we divide integer by 16.

Divide 25 by 16 and note down the remainders.

16 | 25

| 1 → R=9

So, $25= (19)_{16}$

Consider the function below. f(x) = ln(x4 + 27) (a) Find the interval of increase. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

andrezito [222]

Answer:

a) The function is constantly increasing and is never decreasing

b) There is no local maximum or local minimum.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intervals of increasing and decreasing, we can start by finding the answers to part b, which is to find the local maximums and minimums. We do this by taking the derivatives of the equation.

f(x) = ln(x^4 + 27)

f'(x) = 1/(x^2 + 27)

Now we take the derivative and solve for zero to find the local max and mins.

f'(x) = 1/(x^2 + 27)

0 = 1/(x^2 + 27)

Since this function can never be equal to one, we know that there are no local maximums or minimums. This also lets us know that this function will constantly be increasing.
