Complete the square for each expression. Then factor the Trinomial
x^2+8x

Answers

Answer 1

The value of x is [tex]x=0[/tex] or [tex]x=-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is [tex]x^{2} +8x=0[/tex]

To complete the square, the equation is of the form [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex]

The constant term c can be determined using, [tex]c=\left(\frac{\frac{b}{a}}{2}\right)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}c &=\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^{2} \\&=\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^{2} \\c &=4^{2} \\c &=16\end{aligned}[/tex]

Rewriting the expression [tex]x^{2} +8x=0[/tex] and factoring the trinomial, we have,

[tex]\begin{array}{r}{x^{2}+8 x+16=16} \\{(x+4)^{2}=16}\end{array}[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get,

[tex]\begin{aligned}&x+4=\sqrt{16}\\&x+4=\pm 4\end{aligned}[/tex]

Either,

[tex]\begin{array}{r}{x+4=4} \\{x=0}\end{array}[/tex]  or [tex]\begin{array}{r}{x+4=-4} \\{x=-8}\end{array}[/tex]

Thus, the value of x is  [tex]x=0[/tex] or [tex]x=-8[/tex]

A local grocery store kept track of the types of items sold in 2 hours. Express the ratio that compares the amount of produce sold to the total number of grocery items sold.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tracking sales in a small convenience store does not require sophisticated sales monitoring software or expensive computer equipment, although basic point of sale software can save time and prevent mathematical errors. Daily monitoring of inventory, saving sales receipts and using a simple spreadsheet may be all you need to track sales. Depending on the size of your store and foot traffic the store receives each day, tracking sales may take only an hour or so each day.

A train leaves a station and travels north at a speed of 45 mph. Two hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 75 mph. How far from the station will they meet?

Answers

Both trains will meet in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of train A = 45 mph

Distance covered in two hours = 2*45 = 90 miles

Let,

x be the number of hours for both trains.

A(x) = 45x+90

Speed of train B = 75 mph

B(x) = 75x

For same distance;

A(x) = B(x)

[tex]45x+90=75x\\90=75x-45x\\90=30x\\30x=90[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 30

[tex]\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{90}{30}\\x=3[/tex]

Both trains will meet in 3 hours.

Amy cut 32 ft of chain into pieces that were each 1/4 ft long. How many of these did Amy have after cutting the chain?

Answers

128 pieces can be made after cutting the chain

Solution:

Given that, Amy cut 32 ft of chain into pieces that were each 1/4 ft long

To find: Number of pieces after cutting the chain

From given,

[tex]\text{Total length of chain } = 32 \text{ feet }\\\\\text{Length of 1 piece } = \frac{1}{4} \text{ feet }[/tex]

Thus the number of pieces after cutting the chain can be found by dividing the total length of chain by length of 1 piece

[tex]\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{\text{Total length of chain}}{\text{Length of 1 piece }}[/tex]

Substituting the values, we get

[tex]\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{32}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\\text{Number of pieces} = 32 \times 4 = 128[/tex]

Thus 128 pieces can be made after cutting the chain

Answer:

Answers

Question:

Ashley had a summer lemonade stand where she sold small cups of lemonade for $1.25 and large cups for $2.50. If Ashley sold a total of 155 cups of lemonade for $265, how many cups of each did she sell

Answer:

The number of small cups of lemonades  is 98

The number of Large cups of lemonades is 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of small lemonade  cups = $1.25

Cost of large Lemonade cups =  $2.50

Total number of lemonade cups  = 155 cups

The total cost for which the lemonade is sold =  $265

To Find:

Number of each types of lemonade sold = ?

Solution:

Let the number of small cups of lemonade sold be x

the number of large cups of lemonade sold be y

Then according to the question,

x+y = 155-----------------------------(1)

Then the amount earned by  selling small and large lemonade cups is $265

Then

1.25x+2.50y = 265------------------(2)

From (1)

y = 155-x----------------------------------(3)

Substituting (3) in (2), we get

1.25x+ (155-x)2.50 = 265

1.25 + (387.5 -2.50x) =265

-1.25x + 387.5 = 265

-1.25x= 265 -387.5

-1.25x =  -122.5

[tex]x = \frac{-122.5}{-1.25}[/tex]

x= 98--------------------------------(4)

Substituting (4) in (3)

y = 155-98

y =57

if (x +5) -2(4x-1)=0 what is the value of x

Answers

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

(X+5)-2(4x-1)=0

(-2•4x) (-2•-1)

X+5-8x+2=0

X-8x+5+2=0

(5+2)=7

X-8x=-7

-7x= -7

X=1

Simplifying the given expression (x +5) -2(4x-1)=0 we get the solution of this expression is x = 1.

A relation between a collection of inputs and outputs is known as a function. A function is, to put it simply, a relationship between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output.

The given expression,

(x +5) -2(4x-1)=0

Distributing the number inside the bracket we get,

x + 5 - 8x + 2 =0

Simplifying the like terms,

-7x + 7 = 0

Subtract 7 on both sides,

-7x = -7

Divide by -7 on both sides we get,

x = 1

Hence,

The solution of the expression is x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is [tex](\frac{x+2}{5})+(\frac{x+1}{3})=(\frac{x-3}{10})-2[/tex]

To solve the given equation as below :

[tex](\frac{x+2}{5})+(\frac{x+1}{3})=(\frac{x-3}{10})-2[/tex] ( by using the distributive property )

[tex]\frac{3x+6+5x+5}{15}=\frac{x-3-20}{10}[/tex] ( adding the like terms )

1) There are at least 3 ways to show that 2 functions are inverses. However, only ONE method is a valid proof. Although Methods A and B might convince you that the functions are inverses, they are NOT acceptable methods to verify that functions are inverses. Complete the work for each method below:

Method A: Given () = 3 − 4 and () = +4/3
Show that these are inverse functions by finding ^−1 () and showing that it is the same as ().

Method B: Given () = 3 − 4 and () = +4/3
Show that these are inverse functions by showing that when the output of one function is used for the input of the other function, the final output is equal to the original input value. (you may choose any initial input)

Method C: Given () = 3 − 4 and () = +4/3
Verify that these are inverse functions by showing that (()) = AND (()) =

Answers

The notation that we use really depends upon the problem. In most cases either is acceptable.

For the two functions that we started off this section with we could write either of the following two sets of notation.

f(x)=3x−2f−1(x)=x3+23g(x)=x3+23g−1(x)=3x−2f(x)=3x−2f−1(x)=x3+23g(x)=x3+23g−1(x)=3x−2

Now, be careful with the notation for inverses. The “-1” is NOT an exponent despite the fact that is sure does look like one! When dealing with inverse functions we’ve got to remember that

f−1(x)≠1f(x)f−1(x)≠1f(x)

This is one of the more common mistakes that students make when first studying inverse functions.

The process for finding the inverse of a function is a fairly simple one although there is a couple of steps that can on occasion be somewhat messy. Here is the process

That’s the process. Most of the steps are not all that bad but as mentioned in the process there are a couple of steps that we really need to be careful with.

In the verification step we technically really do need to check that both (f∘f−1)(x)=x(f∘f−1)(x)=x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x(f−1∘f)(x)=x are true. For all the functions that we are going to be looking at in this section if one is true then the other will also be true. However, there are functions (they are far beyond the scope of this course however) for which it is possible for only of these to be true. This is brought up because in all the problems here we will be just checking one of them. We just need to always remember that technically we should check both.

There is one final topic that we need to address quickly before we leave this section. There is an interesting relationship between the graph of a function and its inverse.

Here is the graph of the function and inverse from the first two examples. We’ll not deal with the final example since that is a function that we haven’t really talked about graphing yet.

In both cases we can see that the graph of the inverse is a reflection of the actual function about the line y=xy=x. This will always be the case with the graphs of a function and its inverse.

Answers

The problem is asking to identify how many years would each color light last. We know that a red light turns on 50% of the time, a green light is 42% of the time, and yellow is 8% of the time. Each light lasts 100,000 hours.

Although this question gives a lot of information, we really don't need the percentages of the lights. They simply are there to throw you off. Each light lasts 100,000 hours. We will use the following conversions:

1 day = 24 hours

1 year = 365 days

100,000 hours divided by 24 hours = 4166.67 days

4166.67 days divided by 365 days = 11.4 years (the 4 is 4 months).

Mrs. Lin is sewing costumes for her grandchildren. She is making 3 lion costumes, 1 zebra costume, and 2 bear costumes. Fabric costs $7.49 per yard. How much fabric does Mrs. Lin need?

Answers

Answer:

rtetrt343444

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrew

Mrs. Lin needs a total of [tex]6 \frac{13}{24} \text{ yards}[/tex] yards of fabric for all the costumes.

To find out how much fabric Mrs. Lin needs for all the costumes, we need to calculate the total yardage required for each type of costume and then sum them up.

Given:

- Bear costume requires 2 1/4 yards.

- Lion costume requires 1 2/3 yards.

- Zebra costume requires 2 5/8 yards.

Let's calculate the total yardage required for each type of costume:

1. Bear costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for bear} = 2 \frac{1}{4} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

2. Lion costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for lion} = 1 \frac{2}{3} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

3. Zebra costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for zebra} = 2 \frac{5}{8} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

Now, let's convert all these mixed numbers into improper fractions:

1. Bear costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for bear} = 2 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

2. Lion costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for lion} = 1 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

3. Zebra costume:

[tex]\[ \text{Yardage for zebra} = 2 + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{16}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{21}{8} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

Now, let's sum up the yardages for all the costumes:

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \text{Yardage for bear} + \text{Yardage for lion} + \text{Yardage for zebra} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{5}{3} + \frac{21}{8} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 24:

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \frac{9 \times 6}{4 \times 6} + \frac{5 \times 8}{3 \times 8} + \frac{21 \times 3}{8 \times 3} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \frac{54}{24} + \frac{40}{24} + \frac{63}{24} \][/tex]

Now, let's add the fractions:

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \frac{54 + 40 + 63}{24} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = \frac{157}{24} \][/tex]

Now, let's convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:

[tex]\[ \text{Total yardage} = 6 \frac{13}{24} \text{ yards} \][/tex]

So, Mrs. Lin needs a total of [tex]6 \frac{13}{24} \text{ yards}[/tex] yards of fabric for all the costumes.

complete question given below:

Mrs. Lin is sewing costumes for her grandchildren. She is making three lion costumes, one zebra costume, and two bear costumes. Fabric costs $7.49 per yard. How much fabric does Mrs. Lin need?

Bear= 2 1/4 yards

Comparing with standard equation

the slope m = -2 and c = 1/4

The 2nd equation y = -2x - 1/4

Comparing with standard equation

the slope m = -2 and c = -1/4

To check if it as a solution

y = -2x + 1/4.......(1)

y = -2x - 1/4........(2)

Substracting (2) from (1)

y - y = -2x + 2x + 1/4 + 1/4

However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help." [3]Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved. [4]If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels). [5]There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour. [6]In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation. How does the speaker's metaphor of a gold star in paragraph 3 support the purpose of the speech?A) It challenges the audience to view voluntourism opportunities in a positive light.B) It confirms the idea that voluntourism experiences look good on a college or career resume.C) It emphasizes the selfish and superficial motivation behind voluntour opportunities.D) It highlights the generous contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit. A student dissolves 3.9g of aniline (C6H5NH2) in 200.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.05 g/mL . The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the aniline dissolves in it.
