7 0

To factor out -1/3 out of the expression -1/3x - 8, first divide -8 by -1/3 to get 24. Now just put 24 in the place of -8 in the original expression. Your final answer should be -1/3(x + 24). Hope this helps and have a phenomenal day!

Answer:

The factor form is $-\frac{1}{3}x-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+24)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Factor $-\frac{1}{3}$ out of $-\frac{1}{3}x-8$

Solution :

Taking the term common means we the number multiply inside give you the same result.

Taking $-\frac{1}{3}$ out of $-\frac{1}{3}x$ is left with

$\frac{-\frac{1}{3}x}{-\frac{1}{3}}=x$

Taking $-\frac{1}{3}$ out of $8$ is left with

$\frac{8}{-\frac{1}{3}}=-8\times 3=-24$

So, $-\frac{1}{3}x-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-24))$

$-\frac{1}{3}x-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+24)$

The factor form is $-\frac{1}{3}x-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+24)$

mamaluj [8]

For every 1,000 feet you go up in elevation, the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F

Given:

Temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 74°F

The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you

Change (reduction) in temperature is 3.3 X 5500 / 1000

= 18.15°F

Temperature at the top of the mountain is 74°F – 18.15°F

= 55.85°F

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$

The radius of circle G is 4 cm. What is the tangent

qaws [65]

The tangent of a given circle is perpendicular to the radius a the point called point if tangency. The radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency. This property is especially useful in cases where the radius that connects to the point of tangency forms a part of right angle because the pythagorean theorem and trigonometry apply to right angles.
