Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\sf Equation: \quad \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x+3}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

The number is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number.

The reciprocal of a fraction is where the numerator and denominator are swapped (so the fraction is turned upside down).

Let x be the positive number.

The reciprocal of the positive number x:

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

The reciprocal of 3 more than the number x:

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{1}{x+3}[/tex]

The sum of the reciprocal of a positive number and the reciprocal of 3 more than the number is 7/10:

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x+3}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

To solve, make the denominators of the two fractions on the left side the same by multiplying them.

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction to get the new numerator of the first fraction.

Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction to get the new numerator of the second fraction.

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1(x+3)}{x(x+3)}+\dfrac{1(x)}{(x+3)(x)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{x+3}{x(x+3)}+\dfrac{x}{x(x+3)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Add the numerators and keep the denominator so that there is now one fraction:

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{2x+3}{x(x+3)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]\implies \sf 10(2x+3)=7x(x+3)[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\implies \sf 20x+30=7x^2+21x[/tex]

Rearrange so the equation is equal to zero:

[tex]\implies \sf 7x^2+x-30=0[/tex]

Split the middle term:

[tex]\implies \sf 7x^2+15x-14x-30=0[/tex]

Factor the first two terms and last two terms separately:

[tex]\implies \sf x(7x+15)-2(7x+15)=0[/tex]

Factor out the common term (7x + 15):

[tex]\implies \sf (x-2)(7x+15)=0[/tex]

Apply the zero product property:

[tex]\sf (x-2)=0 \implies x=2[/tex]

[tex]\sf (7x+15)=0 \implies x=-\dfrac{15}{7}[/tex]

As x is a positive number, x = 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 5x² - 6x - 2 = 0

a = Coefficient of x² = 5

b = coefficient of x = -6

c = constant = -2

Discriminant = D = b² - 4ac

                           = (-6)² - 4 * 5 * (-2)

                           = 36 +  40

                           = 76  > 0

So, the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots.

[tex]\sf \boxed{\bf x = \dfrac{-b \± \sqrt{D}}{2a}}\\\\[/tex]

     [tex]\sf = \dfrac{-[-6] \± \sqrt{76}}{2*5}\\\\= \dfrac{6 \±8.7}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{6+8.7}{10} \ ; \ or \ x =\dfrac{6-8.7}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{14.7}{10} \ ; \ or \ x = \dfrac{-2.7}{10}[/tex]

x = 1.47  or x = -0.27

Answer: x = 1.5 or (-0.3)

b) x² + 3x = 40

x² + 3x - 40= 0

We can solve the quadratic equation using factor method.

Sum = 3

Product = -40

Factors = 8 , (-5)

 When we add, 8 + (-5) = 3 , we get 5and when we multiply 8 *(-5) = -40, we get -(-40).

Rewrite the middle term of the quadratic equation using the factors.

 x² + 8x - 5x - 40 = 0

x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8)= 0

 (x + 8) (x - 5)    = 0

 x + 8 = 0   or x - 5 = 0

     x = -8   or       x = 5

Answer : x = -8 , 5

Work Shown:

[tex]f(\text{x}) = 2.56(1.04)^\text{x}\\\\5 = 2.56(1.04)^\text{x}\\\\5/2.56 = (1.04)^\text{x}\\\\1.953125 = (1.04)^\text{x}\\\\\log(1.953125) = \log(1.04^\text{x})\\\\\log(1.953125) = \text{x}*\log(1.04)\\\\\text{x} = \frac{\log(1.953125)}{\log(1.04)}\\\\\text{x} \approx 17.0682937693249\\\\[/tex]

The steps above show f(x) replaced with 5. Then you'd use logarithms to isolate the variable x. The relevant useful log rule is [tex]\log(A^B) = B\log(A)[/tex] so we can pull down the exponent.

From here it seems your teacher wants you to round up to the nearest integer.

If we plugged in x = 17, then f(x) = 4.99 which is one cent too small.

Therefore, x = 18 has the price reach or exceed $5

All the events in the sample space that are not part of the specified event are called Complement of Event.

Complement of event:

The complement of an event is the subset of outcomes in the sample space that are not in the event. A complement is itself an event. The complement of an event A is denoted as A c A^c Ac or A′. An event and its complement are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Two events are said to be complementary when one event occurs if and only if the other does not. The probabilities of two complimentary events add up to 1. For example, rolling a 5 or greater and rolling a 4 or less on a die are complementary events, because a roll is 5 or greater if and only if it is not 4 or less.

By counting, you can find the slope, which is 8/2 = 4.

Answer:

45 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10-digit numbers are from 10-99. We can manually analyze each tenth digit and see if we can find a pattern from it. First, 10-19 ~ 10 is the only number in the sequence where the tenth digit is greater than the unit digit (because 1 > 0). In every other case, 1 is less than or equal to the unit digit.

Next, 20-29 ~ 20 and 21 are the two numbers where the tenth digit is greater than the unit digit

30-39 ~ 30, 31, 32 follow the property

40-49 ~ 40, 41, 42, 43 follow the property

We can keep going, but we can see that there is a pattern. The number of numbers that correspond with the property for each set of 10 numbers is equal to the value of the tenth digit. We see that for the 40s, there are 4 numbers. For the 20s, on the other hand, there are 2 numbers. This pattern carries through:

50-59 ~ 5 numbers, 60-69 ~ 6 numbers, 70-79 ~ 7 numbers, 80-89 ~ 8 numbers, 90-99 ~ 9 numbers

We need to find how many 2-digit numbers total follow the property. We can just add our results together to get our answer:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45

Answer:

1. The zeros are at x = 0 and x = –10

2. The zeros are at x = 3 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f(x) = x (x + 10)

Multiplying any number by 0 = 0,
so f(x) = 0 when...

• x = 0

or

• x + 10 = 0 (if you subtract 10 from both sides, you get x = –10)

2. f(x) = x (x - 3) – 4 (x - 3)

Use distributive property to expand

x² – 3x – 4x + 12

Combine like terms

x² – 7x + 12

Factor

(x – 3) (x – 4)

(You could have also just noticed in the original function that both x and –4 were multiplied by (x – 3) and factored then.)

So f(x) = 0 when...

• x – 3 = 0  (add 3 to both sides to get x = 3)

or

• x – 4 = 0 (add 4 to both sides to get x = 4)

Answer:

x = 20°

f = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5x = 180°

because a straight line is 180°

so 9x = 180°

1x = 180 ÷ 9

1x = 20

all angles in a triangle add together is 180°

so 7x + f = 180°

1x = 20

7x = 20 × 7

7x = 140°

f = 180° - 140 °

f = 40°

Answer:

x = 20 , f = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

4x and 5x are a linear pair and sum to 180° , then

4x + 5x = 180

9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 20

then

5x = 5 × 20 = 100° and 3x = 3 × 20 = 60°

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

5x is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

f + 3x = 5x , that is

f + 60 = 100 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

f = 40

When x = 6, y needs to be 2.

since 6 times 1/3 is 2, ___ is 1/3.

Now we know that 1/3 is the slope. In a complete equation, this will be shown as y = 1/3 x.
