20x+x-2=4 rational equation​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

20x + x - 2 = 4

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms: 21x - 2 = 4Add 2 to both sides: 21x = 6Divide both sides by 21: x = 6/21Simplify: x = 2/7

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

20(2/7) + 2/7 - 2 = 4

40/7 + 2/7 - 2 = 4

42/7 - 2 = 4

6 - 2 = 4

4 = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect like terms:

20x + x = 21x ----> 21x - 2= 4

Move the constant to the right hand side and change the sign of the constant:

21x = 4 + 2

Calculate:

21x = 4 + 2 ---> 21x = 6

Divide both sides by 21:

21/21 and 6/21 = 2/7

Solution:

x = 2/7 or x= 0.285714

Consider a 25 factorial design. (a) How many factors and levels are considered in this factorial experiment

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given;

We are to take a look at a 2⁵ factorial design.

The factorial design consists of carrying out the design of equipment by testing it by modifying not the parameters one by one but by modifying several simultaneous parameters.

An experiment is termed to be a 2⁵ factorial experiment if in the experiment 5 factors are studied consecutively with each at two-level.

Thus, there are five factors and 2 levels in the experiment.

reflection over the side RS
a translation of 10 units to the right
a rotation of 90' clockwise about vortex Q
a vertical stretch of scale factor 2 through contor C
a dilation of scale factor 1 through conter

Answers

Answer: B,D,E. Step-by-Step explanation

Transformation that preserve lengths are rigid transformation.

The options that support Maggie's claim are:

reflection over the side RS a translation of 10 units to the right a rotation of 90' clockwise about vortex Q  

All transformations are rigid transformation, except dilation.

Dilation are of two types

StretchCompress

Either of the two above, do not preserve length

This means that:

Options (d) and (e) will not preserve the lengths of the rectangle, because they represent dilation

Hence, the correct options that will preserve the length of the rectangle are: (a), (b) and (c)

Your math class is collecting canned food for a local food drive. The goal is to collect at least 130 cans but no more than 250 cans due to space limitations. There are 24 students in your math class and your teacher has promised to bring in 10 cans. Select which inequalities represent the possible numbers n of cans that each student should bring in.

Answers

the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

n: number of cans that each student must bring.

We know that:

The teacher will bring 5 cans

There are 20 students in the class

At least 105 cans must be brought, but no more than 205 cans

Therefore the inequation of the problem is given by:

105 < 20n + 5 <205

Answer:

the possible numbers n of cans that each student should bring in is:               105 < 20n + 5 < 205

A ball is hit into air at time t=0 seconds.its height above the ground is given by the equation h=25t-9.8t².what is the value of t when the ball lands on the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The ball lands on the ground at t=2.55 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation

The following function models the height above the ground of a ball hit into the air at time t seconds:

[tex]h=25t-9.8t^2[/tex]

We need to find the value of t when the ball hits the ground.

At ground level, h is zero, thus:

[tex]25t-9.8t^2=0[/tex]

This is an incomplete quadratic equation that can be easily solved by factoring:

[tex]t(25-9.8t)=0[/tex]

There are two solutions:

t=0

t=25/9.8=2.55 s

The first solution corresponds to the moment when the ball is hit, and the second is when it returns to the ground, thus:

The ball lands on the ground at t=2.55 seconds

bob is on his way home in his car. he has driven 30 miles so far, which is three-fifths of the way home. what is the total length of his drive?​

Answers

The length of Bob's drive as a fraction = 5/5

Let the length of his total drive be = x

30 miles driven by Bob as a fraction =

= 3/5 of x = 30

= 3/5x = 30

= 5/x = 30 ÷ 3 ( transposing ×3 from LHS to RHS changes ×3 to ÷3 )

=5/x = 10

= x = 10 × 5 ( transposing ÷5 from LHS to RHS changes ÷5 to ×5 )

= x = 50

Now we have to see what is =

= 2/5 of 50

= 2/5 × 50

= 100/5

= 20 miles

So , total length of Bob's drive = 30 miles + 20 miles = 50 miles .

∴ The total length of Bob's drive is 50 miles .

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9. Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24. Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

Required:
If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?

Answers

Answer:

Tobias did best on the aptitude test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

For Emilio

Emilio got a score of 76; this version has a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 9.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 76 - 70.6/9

z = 0.6

For Alissa

Alissa got a score of 298.8; this version has a mean of 282 and a standard deviation of 24.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 298.8 - 282/24

z = 0.7

For Tobias

Tobias got a score of 8.04; this version has a mean of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 8.04 - 7.2/0.4

z = 2.1

Looking at the calculated z score above, we can see that Tobias did better on his aptitude test because he had a higher z score compared to Emilio and Alissa.

You can use LL, HL and SAS theorems to prove that triangles are congruent.

The right triangle leg leg congruence Theorem (LL) is a theorem for right triangles that says if the two corresponding shorter legs of two right triangles are congruent, then the two triangles are congruent.

The hypotenuse leg Theorem (HL) states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.

The side angle side Postulate (SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

A box is formed by cutting squares from the four corners of a sheet of paper and folding up the sides.
Suppose the paper is 7"-wide by 9"-long.
a. Estimate the maximum volume for this box?
b. What cutout length produces the maximum volume?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question it is necessary to find the volume of the box as a function of "x", and apply the concepts of a maximum of a function.

The solution is:

a) V (max) = 36.6 in³

b) x = 1.3 in

The volume of a cube is:

V(c) = w×L×h  ( in³)

In this case, cutting the length  "x" from each side, means:

wide of the box    ( w - 2×x )   equal to  ( 7 - 2×x )

Length of the box ( L - 2×x )   equal to  ( 9 - 2×x )

The height  is  x

Then the volume of the box,  as a function of x is:

V(x) = ( 7 - 2×x ) × ( 9 -2×x ) × x

V(x) = ( 63 - 14×x - 18×x + 4×x²)×x

V(x) = 4×x³ - 32×x² + 63×x

Tacking derivatives,  on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12×x² - 64 ×x + 63

If   V´(x) = 0      then      12×x² - 64 ×x + 63 = 0

This expression is a second-degree equation, solving for x

x₁,₂ = [ 64 ± √ (64)² - 4×12*63

x₁ =  ( 64 + 32.74 )/ 24

x₁ = 4.03     this value  will bring us an unfeasible solution,  since it is not possible to cut 2×4 in from a piece of paper of 7 in ( therefore we dismiss that value)

x₂ = ( 64 - 32.74)/24

x₂ = 1.30 in

The  maximum volume of the box is:

V(max) = ( 7 - 2.60) × ( 9 - 2.60)×1.3

V(max) = 4.4 × 6.4 × 1.3

V(max) = 36.60 in³

To chek for maximum value of V when x = 1.3

we find the second derivative of V  V´´,  and substitute the value of x = 1.3,    if the relation is smaller than 0,  we have a maximum value of V

V´´(x) = 24×x - 64 for x = 1.3

V´´(x) = 24× 1.3 - 64            ⇒   V´´(x) < 0

Then the value  x = 1.3 will bring maximum value for V
