Answer:
A number line goes from negative 10 to positive 10. An open circle appears at negative 9. The number line is shaded from negative 9 through positive 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Solve for x
Adds 7 both sides
Divide by -3 both sides
Remember that
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol
so
The solution is the interval (-9,∞)
therefore
A number line goes from negative 10 to positive 10. An open circle appears at negative 9. The number line is shaded from negative 9 through positive 10.
To write the system we need the slope of each line and at least one point on the line. The two lines to consider will be the lines connecting the location of each plane to the airport they are flying to. It is also worth noting that the coordinates of the airport represent the point of intersection of the two lines and thus the solution to the system.
1. slope of the line connecting airplane one and the airport: m = 2 you can see this clearly if you graph the two points. From airplane 1 location we rise 8 units and move to the right 4 units to get to the airport. Slope is defined as rise over run: so 8 divided by 4 = 2(the slope) Now substitute the slope and the point (2,4) into point-slope form of a line:
y - 4 = 2(x -4) the standard form of this equation is 2x - y = 0
2. slope of the line connecting airplane 2 and the airport: m = -
To find this slope, simply observe the vertical change of down 3 and a horizontal shift of right 9 from the airport to airplane 2. Now substitute this slope and and the point (15,9) into point-slope form of a line:
y - 9 =
(x - 15) the standard form of this equation is:
x + 3y = 42
Let's write the system:
2x - y = 0
x + 3y = 42
Multiply the first equation by 3 to get the new system
6x - 3y = 0
x + 3y = 42 add these two equations to get an equation in terms of x
7x = 42 thus x = 6 and substituting this value into 2x - y = 0 we see y = 12
In other words, we have proven that the location of the airport is in fact the solution to our system.
PS: You just have to do a little algebra to get from point-slope form of the two equations to standard form. I did not show this process, but if you need it just let me know... thanks
Speed = distance / time
3 hours 45 minutes = 3.75 hours
80 = distance / 3.75
distance = 80 * 3.75 = 300 kms Answer
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 - 4 x = 5
Subtract 5 from both sides:
x^2 - 4 x - 5 = 0
x = (4 ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 (-5)))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(16 + 20))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(36))/2:
x = (4 + sqrt(36))/2 or x = (4 - sqrt(36))/2
sqrt(36) = sqrt(4×9) = sqrt(2^2×3^2) = 2×3 = 6:
x = (4 + 6)/2 or x = (4 - 6)/2
(4 + 6)/2 = 10/2 = 5:
x = 5 or x = (4 - 6)/2
(4 - 6)/2 = -2/2 = -1:
Answer: x = 5 or x = -1
