Answer:
x = -1 and x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>What are the solutions of the equation (x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.</em>
<em />
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0 -------------------------------------------------------(1)
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;
let u = x-3
we will replace x-3 by u in the given equation:
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0
u² + 2u -8 = 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------(2)
We will now solve the above quadratic equation
find two numbers such that its product gives -8 and its sum gives 2
The two numbers are 4 and -2
That is; 4×-2 = -8 and 4+(-2) = 2
we will replace 2u by (4u -2u) in equation (2)
u² + 2u -8 = 0
u² + 4u - 2u -8 = 0
u(u+4) -2(u+4) = 0
(u+4)(u-2) = 0
Either u + 4 = 0
u = -4
or
u-2 = 0
u = 2
Either u = -4 or u = 2
But u = x-3
x = u +3
when u = -4
x = u + 3
x = -4 + 3
x=-1
when u = 2
x = u + 3
x = 2 + 3
x=5
Therefore, x = -1 and x =5
x
She didn’t notice that the 3 and the 4 both do not have the variable “n” with them
She just added up all the numbers together then added the variable at the end.
Answer:
percentage change in weight ≈ 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
The dog weighed 48 kg after a diet and after an exercise program the dog had a weight of 43 kg. This means the dog loss weight since the dog weight decreased from an initial value of 48 kg to 43 kg. The decrease in weight can be calculate as
decrease in weight = original weight - new weight
original weight = 48 kg
new weight = 43 kg
decrease in weight = 48 - 43 = 5 kg
Since the weight decrease their will be a percentage decrease in weight.
% decrease = decrease in weight/original weight × 100
% decrease = 5/48 × 100
% decrease = 500/48
% decrease = 10. 42666666667
percentage change in weight ≈ 10%
100 total people......35 exercise in the morning....45 in the afternoon...and 20 at night
Jim is correct.....
35/100 is the ratio of people who exercise in the morning to total people.
45/100 is the ratio of afternoon exercisers to total people
20/100 is the ratio of night exercisers to total people
