Evaluate expression if a = 2.

a² - 5a - 6

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-12.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 - 5a - 6

When a = 2 we have

2^2 - 5(2) - 6

= 4 - 10 - 6

= -12.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a²- 5a - 6

Substitute a for 2

(2)² - 5(2) - 6

Solve.

4 - 10 - 6 = -12

If a = 2, a²- 5a - 6 equals -12

x^2-x-2=0 as a complete square

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x_1=2; x_2=-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The square term is [tex]x^2[/tex] so we expect the complete square to be of the form [tex](x-a) ^2=x^2+2ax+a^2[/tex].

Let's compare the first degree terms now: we have [tex]2ax[/tex] on one side and [tex]-1x[/tex] on the other. That would make [tex]a=- \frac12[/tex]. At this point we have still the second squared term, so we add and subtract [tex]\frac14 = (\frac12)^2[/tex]

Our equation becomes:

[tex]x^2-x+\frac14 -\frac14-2 =0\\(x-\frac12)^2-\frac94=0[/tex]

(the [tex]\frac94[/tex] term comes from rewriting [tex]2= \frac84[/tex] and adding the terms out of the bracket).

At this point it's just solving the equation:

[tex](x-\frac12)^2 = \frac94 \rightarrow x-\frac12=\pm\frac32\\x=\frac12\pm\frac32\\x_1=\frac42 = 2; x_2=\fra-\frac22=-1[/tex]

The amount of money Camilla earns varies directly with the number of hours she works. If she earns $150 when she works 20 hours, how much will she earn for working 60 hours?

What is k ? (k = y/x)

What is the equation for the direct variation situation? (y = kx)

How much will she earn for working 60 hours?

Answers

What is k ? (k = y/x)

     If y is dollars earned and x is hours worked,

k = y/x

k = 150 dollars /20 hours

k = 7.50 dollars per hour

What is the equation for the direct variation situation? (y = kx)

y = kx

y = (7.50)(60)

y = 450

How much will she earn for working 60 hours?

y = $450

       She will earn $450 after working for 60 hours.

If x represents the molar solubility of b a 3 ( p o 4 ) 2 , what is the correct equation for the k s p ?

Answers

The molar solubility of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is its concentration of pure substance

The correct equation for the ksp is Ksp = 6x⁵

How to determine the equation of ksp?

Start by writing the reaction for the solution of Barium phosphate

Ba₃(PO₄)₂  ⇌3Ba²⁺ +2PO₄³⁻

Next, we make an ICE chart

Let "x" be the molar solubility of Barium phosphate

          Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s)  ⇌3Ba²⁺ +2PO₄³⁻

I                                 0                  0

C                              +3x               +2x

E                                3x³                 2x²

Lastly, we write the expression for the solubility product constant (Ksp)

This is represented as:

Ksp = [3Ba²⁺] × [2PO₄³⁻]²

Ksp = 3x³ × 2x²

Evaluate the product

Ksp = 6x⁵

Hence, the correct equation for the ksp is Ksp = 6x⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

When Harold got home, it was already 3:50 PM. Then he played games for an hour and five minutes. Adding on an hour, it made the time 4:50 PM, and then adding on the five minutes, made the time 4:55 PM.

An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula:
|a =7
n = an=1
- 4
What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

Answers

An arithmetic sequence can be expressed as explicitly or recursively

The explicit formula of the sequence is [tex]a_n = 11 - 4n[/tex]

How to determine the explicit formula

The recursive formula is given as:

[tex]a_n = a_{n -1} - 4[/tex]

[tex]a_1 = 7[/tex]

Substitute 2 for n in [tex]a_n = a_{n -1} - 4[/tex]

[tex]a_2 =a_1 - 4[/tex]

This gives

[tex]a_2 =7 - 4[/tex]

[tex]a_2 =3[/tex]

Calculate the common difference (d)

[tex]d = a_2 -a_1[/tex]

[tex]d = 3- 7[/tex]

[tex]d = -4[/tex]

The explicit formula is then calculated as:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

This gives

[tex]a_n = 7+ (n - 1)*-4[/tex]

Expand

[tex]a_n = 7+4 - 4n[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 11 - 4n[/tex]

Hence, the explicit formula of the sequence is [tex]a_n = 11 - 4n[/tex]

You create a recipe for slime by making some 20% pure slime and some 80% pure to create 100 gallons of a 65% slime mixture. How man gallons of the 20% mixture are needed

Answers

About 25 gallons of 20% mixture are needed to make the 80% mixture.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of gallons of 20% mixture needed, hence:

(20% of x) + (80% of y) = 65% of 100

0.2x + 0.8y = 65   (1)

Also:

x + y = 100    (2)

From both equations:

x = 25, y = 75

About 25 gallons of 20% mixture are needed to make the 80% mixture.

Not an actual test question but just curious:
if an exponential function is flipped by the x axis then is that function still positive or negative.
EX:

Answers

well, when we use the word "the function" we're referring to the dependent part, which depends on the independent, y,x wise, we're referring to the function "y" or f(x) if you wish.

so for an exponential function

is the function ever positive only? it can be

is it negative only?  it can be

can it be both?  sure thing, most of the time it's both

we can say a function f(x) is always positive when the independent values of "x" yield a positive value only, mind you that when we're talking about "the function" we're really referring to the resulting values in a set, so can the values of the output no matter what "x" we use be always positive? sure, can they also be negative only? sure, how about both? sure thing.

notice the template in the picture below, we can transform any exponential function like the one above 2ˣ with some vertical shift upwards, and is always positive, or -2ˣ with a vertical shift downwards and it's always negative, or we can stretch it about and have -2ˣ shifted upwards so sometimes is positive, and sometimes is negative.

above the x-axis is always positive, below is negative, but with transformations on the parent function it can be any of the three types.
