Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

4/(x + 1) = 3/(x + 2)

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross multiply:                         4(x + 2) = 3(x + 1)Distribute:                                 4x + 8 = 3x + 3Subtract 3x on both sides:      x + 8 = 3Subtract 8 on both sides:        x = -5
Answer 2

Answer:

to solve a proportion, you cross multiply. so you take the numerator of the first one, and multiply it by the denominator of the second one. and then the denominator of the first one is multiplied by the numerator of the second one:

4(x+2)=3(x+1) (set them = and then use the distributive property)

4x+8 = 3x+3 (subtract 3x from both sides)

x +8 = 3 (subtract 8 from both sides)

x= -5  (the answer)

B. 2x2 - 6x - 1 = 0
C. 2x2 + 6x - 1 = 0
D. 2x2 - 6x - 5 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

C. 2x² + 6x - 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 3 = -6x - 2

2x² - 3 + 6x = -6x + 6x - 2

2x² - 3 + 6x = -2

2x² - 3 + 6x + 2 = -2 + 2

2x² + 6x - 1 = 0

Find x:
[tex]S=\frac{1}{sin2x}+\frac{1}{sin4x}+\frac{1}{sin8x}+...+\frac{1}{sin2^{n}x }[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

cotx - cot2ⁿx

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: finding the sum not x

First rewrite the first term as:

1/sin2x = sinx / (sinxsin2x)  = sin(2x-x) / (sinxsin2x)  =(sin2xcosx - cosxsinx) / (sinxsin2x) = (sin2xcosx)/(sinxsin2x) - (cos2xsinx)/(sinxsin2x) = cosx/sinx - cos2x/sin2x = cotx - cot2x

Now the sum is:

S = cotx - cot2x + cot2x - cot4x +... + cot2ⁿ⁻²x - cot2ⁿx =cotx - cot2ⁿx

A flagpole that is 28 feet tall casts a 15-foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 21 foot shadow. Find the height of the tree.

Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

7.5 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the height of the tree if you provide the actual length of the trees shadow.

Not really sure what a "toilet for a shadow" means.

Example: If the tree cast a shadow that was 4 feet long we would use a ratio:

Height/shadow = Height/Shadow

28/15 = x/4 cross multiply

15x = 4(28)

x = 4(28)/15 ≅ 7.47 ft

Rounding I would call the tree 7.5 ft tall

Hope this helps.

Answer:

39.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of flagpole:

[tex] tan \theta = \frac {28}{15}..... (1)[/tex]

Since, a nearby tree casts a 21 foot shadow at the same time. So the angle formed will be equal.

Let the height of the tree be x feet.

Therefore,

[tex] tan \theta = \frac {x}{21}.....(2)[/tex]

From equations (1) & (2)

[tex] \frac {28}{15} = \frac {x}{21}.....(2)\\\\

x = \frac{28\times {21} }{{15} }\\\\

x = \frac{588}{{15} }\\\\

x = 39.2 \\\\

Karen purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long-distance calls cost 19 cents a minute using this card. Karen used her card only once to make a long-distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $12.91, how many minutes did her call last?

Answers

Answer:

I am pretty sure the answer is 11 minutes and the cost was $2.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Ihope this helps you:)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we start with $15 now the remaining amount is $12.91, so let's substract

15.00 - 12.91 = 2.09

Alright now I must work with this number, since every minute used on the call is 19 cents, i must divide 2.09 to see how many 19 cents fit into this number

2.09 / 0.19 = 11

So she lasted talking or in this call 11 minutes....

Zoey and her children went into a grocery store where they sell apples for $2 each and bananas for $0.50 each. Zoey has $8 to spend and must buy a minimum of 7 apples and bananas altogether. If x represents the number of apples purchased and y represents the number of bananas purchased, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Answers

Answer:

(2,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable Definitions:

x=

x=

\,\,\text{the number of apples}

the number of apples

y=

y=

\,\,\text{the number of bananas}

the number of bananas

\text{\textquotedblleft a minimum of 7 items"}\rightarrow \text{7 or more items}

“a minimum of 7 items"→7 or more items

Use a \ge≥ symbol

Therefore the total number of apples and bananas, x+yx+y, must be greater than or equal to 7:7:

x+y\ge 7

x+y≥7

\text{\textquotedblleft \$8 to spend"}\rightarrow \text{can spend \$8 or less}

“$8 to spend"→can spend $8 or less

Use a \le≤ symbol

One apple costs $2, so xx apples cost 2x.2x. One banana costs $0.50, so yy bananas cost 0.50y.0.50y. The total 2x+0.50y2x+0.50y must be less than or equal to \$8:$8:

2x+0.50y\le 8

2x+0.50y≤8

\text{Solve each inequality for }y\text{:}

Solve each inequality for y:

\begin{aligned}x+y\ge 7\hspace{30px}& 2x+0.50y\le 8 \\[0.8em] y\ge 7-x \hspace{30px}& 0.50y\le 8-2x \\[0.8em] \hspace{30px}& y\le \frac{8-2x}{0.50} \\[0.8em] & y\le 16-4x\end{aligned}

x+y≥7

y≥7−x

 

2x+0.50y≤8

0.50y≤8−2x

y≤

0.50

8−2x

y≤16−4x

Graph y\ge 7-xy≥7−x by shading up and graph y\le 16-4xy≤16−4x by shading down:

0

the number of apples

the number of bananas

x

y

0

the number of apples

the number of bananas

(2, 7)

Since the point (2, 7(2,7) is inside the double shaded region, one possible solution to the system of inequalities would be:

Zoey could buy 2 apples and 7 bananas.

Graph the line that passes through the points (3,-4) and (3,-1) and determine
the equation of the line.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of a line:

x = 3

The graph of the line is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(3, -4)(3, -1)

Finding the slope between (3,-4) and (3,-1)

(x₁, y₁) = (3,-4)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, -1)

Using the slope formula

m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

    = -1-(-4)) / 3 - 3

    = -1 + 4 / 0

m  = ∞

The slope of the line is undefined, then, by definition, the line would be a vertical line.

As the line that passes through the points (3,-4) and (3,-1)

For a vertical line, the value of x  is the same for each and every value of  y.

Thus, the equation of a line:

x = 3
