5. 27a3+216b3 ???
tomorrow is the submission :(

Answers

Answer:

(3a +6b) (9a² - 18ab + 36b²)

Step-by-step explanation:

27 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 3³

216 = 6 * 6 * 6 = 6³

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

27a³ + 216b³ = (3a)³ + (6b)³

                      = (3a + 6b)( (3a)² - 3a*6b + (6b)² )

                      = (3a +6b) (9a² - 18ab + 36b²)

a body of mass 10kg acted upon by a force of 40N for 0.5secs. Find the:(i)impulse on the body. (ii)final speed of the body. (iii)distance covered within the time interval.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

20n 20394848484848575

The impulse on the body is 20 kg-m/s, the final speed of the body is 2m/s, and the distance covered within the time interval is 0.5m.

What is Force?

Force is the strength applied on an object with mass to change its state of motion.

The mass of the body is 10kg.

The force applied on the object is 40N.

The time for which the force is applied is 0.5 sec.

The impulse on the body is calculated by,

Impulse =  Force * Time

Impulse = 40 * 0.5

Impulse = 20 kg-m/s

The final speed of the body is given by

v = u + at

Assuming the initial speed = 0

v = at

Acceleration =  Force / mass

Acceleration = 40/10

a = 4 m/s²

v = 4 * 0.5

v = 2 m/s

The distance covered within the time interval is given by,

s = ut + (1/2) at²

s = (1/2) at²

s = (1/2) 4 * 0.5 *0.5

s = 0.5 m

If sydney answer 15 questions in the first section correctly what is the minimum number of questions she must have answered correctly in the second section

Answers

Answer:

8 Is correct on EDGE 2020

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the test and got it right

The question was incomplete. Below you will find the missing content.

The questions on the first section on a test value 3 points and the questions in the second section carries 5 points. if sydney answer 15 questions in the first section correctly what is the minimum number of questions she must have answered correctly in the second section.And the maximum points she scored is 80.

Answer:

Sydney must have answered at least 8 answers in the second section.

Concept

What is Inequality?

Inequality is a condition which compare algebraic expression using greater than(>), less than(<) symbols. It also shows values greater than equal to(≥), less than equal to(≤) and not equal to(≠) signs to solve the equation.

let x represent the number of correct questions in the first section, and   let y represent the number of correct  questions in the second question.

Therefore the inequality representing her score is 3x + 5y > 80

Solution:

Following  the inequality  3x+5y>80, 3x  represents  sydney's  score in the first section which is equal to 3ₓ15 = 45

Now she needs to solve 8 questions in the second section to score            

5 ₓ 8 = 40 for the inequality to be maintained.

i.e 3 ₓ 15 + 5 ₓ 8 > 80

45 + 40 > 80

85 > 80

If she solves 7 questions in the second section then the total score will be 45 + 45 ⊅ 80

Therefore sydney answers 8 questions correctly in the second section.

Answers

Answer:

1. n=11 2. n=5 3. n=15 4. n=4 5. n=4 6. n=27

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 2 from 13 to get your answer of 11

2. Divide 15 by 3 to get your answer of 5

3. Multiply both sides by 3 to cancel out the division of 3 and you'll get 30, then divide both sides by 2 to get your answer of 15

4. Add 5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 5 and you'll get 4

5. Subtract 3 from both sides to cancel out the 3 and you'll end up with 2n=8, then you wanna divide both sides by 2 to get your final answer of 4

6. Add 2 to both sides to cancel out the negative 2 and you'll be left with 1/3n=9, next you wanna multiply both sides by 3 to cancel out the 1/3 and you'll get your final answer of 27

1. n + 2 = 13
- 2 -2
subtract 2 from both sides in order to isolate the variable (n) , 2 then crosses out and you are left with n= 11

2. 3n = 15
\ 3 \3

divide by three on both sides in order to isolate the variable (n), 3 crosses out and you are left with 15\3 = 5 . therefore n=5 .

3. 2n/3 = 10
2/3 n = 10
you need to reciprocate by doing this you multiply 2/3 by 3/2 , this cross cancels. you then must do the same for the other side (10) , 10/1 * 3/2 . 10x3 = 30 1*2 =2 , 30/2 therefore n=15 .

4. n -5 = -1
+5 +5
add five to both sides:) , 5 cross cancels and you are left with -1 + 5, this equals 4
therefore n=4.

5. 2n + 3 = 11
this is a two step equation so you need to subtract & multiply. first subtract three from both sides leaving you with 2n = 8
then divide by 2, this isolates the variable. 2/2 you’re left with n and 8/2 is 4, therefore n=4 .

6. 1/3n - 2 = 7
two step equation so you need to multiply and add. first add 2 to both sides -2 + 2 crosses out = 0 and 7 + 2 = 9 . the equation should now be 1/3n = 9
you then need to reciprocate and multiply , 1/3 * 3/1 crosses out and you’re left with n , then do the other side 3/1 * 9/1 , 3*9 = 27 and 1*1 = 1 . therefore n = 27/1 or 27 .

i hope this helped a little :) sorry i couldn’t show all work so i did my best to explain, good luckk .







The equation of y-axis is of the form

Answers

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the y axis corresponds to the equation of every point that lies and constitute the y-axis. As the horizontal distance from every point lying on the y-axis with the main y-axis remains 0, hence, its abscica (x-coordinate) also will be zero.

Hence, x=0

Consider the equation and its solution. 8 (x minus 2) = 64. 8 x minus 16 = 64. 8 x = 80. X = 10. Which property is used in the last step to find that x = 10? Distributive property addition property of equality subtraction property of equality division property of equality

Answers

Answer:

Division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation and its solution. 8 (x minus 2) = 64.

8 x minus 16 = 64.

8 x = 80.

x = 10.

Which property is used in the last step to find that x = 10

The property used in the last step to find that x = 10 is called the DIVISION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY

The Division property of equality states that , when two sides of a quadratic equation are divide by the same integer that is greater than zero, both sides will be equal to one another

Let c be the integer greater than zero

ac = bc

Divide both sides by c

a = b

From the above question

8 x = 80

This is also written as:

8x = 8 × 10

Division property of equality

Divide both sides by 8

Hence,

x = 10

Answer:

division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

since the equation before our answer was a multiplication equation, you must counteract that with the division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x² -2x -4 -----(1)

y -2x= 2

y= 2x +2 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

2x² -2x -4= 2x +2

2x² -2x -4 -2x -2= 0 (bring all terms to the left)

2x² -4x -6= 0 (simplify)

x² -2x -3= 0 (÷2 on both sides)

(x -3)(x +1)= 0 (factorise)

x -3= 0 or x +1= 0

x= 3 or x= -1

Substitute into (2):

y= 2(3) +2 or y= 2(-1) +2

y= 6 +2 or y= -2 +2

y= 8 or y= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

4 papers are delivered by first person in one minute.

Rate of delivering one paper

or

Time taken to deliver one paper can be calculated by the formula:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Total Time taken}}{\text{Number of papers delivered}}[/tex]

Time taken to deliver one paper by first person = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

3 papers are delivered by second person in one minute.

Time taken to deliver one paper by second person = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Total number of papers = 75

Number of papers delivered by first person = [tex]n[/tex]

So, number of papers delivered by second person = ([tex]75-n[/tex])

Time taken to deliver [tex]n[/tex] newspapers = Number of newspapers delivered multiplied by Time taken to deliver one newspaper

Time taken by first person = [tex]n\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Time taken by second person = [tex](75-n)\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

So, Total time taken can be written as:

Exponential Function doesn't have a graph that intercepts x-axis only if it is f(x) = a^x (when a>0 and a ≠ 1)

If you want to plot five points to graph the function then. I'd rather do from negative number to positive number.

Substitute from -3≤x≤1 (We get 5 points)

f(-3) = 4^-3

f(-3) = 1/4^3

f(-3) = 1/64 (First point) (-3,1/64)

f(-2) = 4^-2

f(-2) = 1/4^2 = 1/16 (Second point) (-2,1/16)

f(-1)=4^-1 = 1/4 (Third point) (-1, 1/4)

Write an inequality representing the following phrase:One-tenth of a number h is less than or equal to ten Help me in this is for tonight This is the article PRESIDENT CLINTON: My fellow Americans, today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces responsible for the brutality in Kosovo. We have acted with resolve for several reasons.We act to protect thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.We act to stand united with our allies for peace. By acting now, we are upholding our values, protecting our interests, and advancing the cause of peace.Tonight I want to speak with you about the tragedy in Kosovo and why it matters to America that we work with our allies to end it.First, let me explain what it is that we are responding to. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, in the middle of south eastern Europe and about 160 miles east of Italy. That's less than the distance between Washington and New York, and only about 70 miles north of Greece.Its people are mostly ethnic Albanian and mostly Muslim.In 1989 Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, the same leader who started the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, and moved against Slovenia in the last decade, stripped Kosovo of the constitutional autonomy it's people enjoyed, thus denying them their right to speak their language, run their schools, shape their daily lives. For years, Kosovar's struggled peacefully to get their rights back. When President Milosevic sent his troops and police to crush them, the struggle grew violent.Last fall, our diplomacy, backed by the threat of force from our NATO alliance, stopped the fighting for awhile, and rescued tens of thousands of people from freezing and starvation in the hills where they had fled to save their lives. And last month, with our allies and Russia, we proposed a peace agreement to end the fighting for good. The Kosovar leaders signed that agreement last week.Even though it does not give them all they want, even though their people were still being savaged, they saw that a just peace is better than a long and unwinable war.The Serbian leaders, on the other hand, refused even to discuss key elements of the peace agreement. As the Kosovars were saying yes to peace, Serbia stationed 40,000 troops in and around Kosovo in preparation for a major offensive and in clear violation of the commitments they had made.
