2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Maya has
2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has

Answers

Answer:

2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of candies that Katie has.

Maya has 5 more than twice as many candies as Katie.

Twice as many candies as Katie can be represented by 2c, and 5 more than this can be represented by 2c + 5.

So, the expression for the number of candies Maya has is 2c + 5.

2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has

m∠AFD=90° . m∠AFB=31°. Find m∠DFE.
A. 87
B. 29.5
C. 31
D. 28

Answers

Answer:

D. 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m∠AFD = 90°

m∠AFB = 31°

Required:

m∠DFE

Solution:

m<AFB = m<CFD (both angles are marked as congruent angles)

Since m<AFB = 31°, therefore,

m<CFD = 31°

m<AFB + m<CFD + m<BFC = m<AFD

Plug in the known values

31° + 31° + m<BFC = 90°

62° + m<BFC = 90°

Subtract 62° from each side

m<BFC = 90° - 62°

m<BFC = 28°

m<BFC = m<DFE = 28° (both angles are marked congruent to each other)

Therefore,

m<DFE = 28°

Find a polynomial function of degree 4 with - 3 as a zero of multiplicity 3 and 0 as a zero of multiplicity 1.
The polynomial function in expanded form is f(x) =
(Use 1 for the leading coefficient.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = x^4 + 9x^3 + 27x^2 + 27x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n}[/tex] such that it can be written as: [tex]a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n)[/tex], in which a is the leading coefficient.

- 3 as a zero of multiplicity 3

So

[tex]f(x) = (x - (-3))^3 = (x + 3)^3 = x^3 + 9x^2 + 27x + 27[/tex]

0 as a zero of multiplicity 1.

So

[tex]f(x) = x(x^3 + 9x^2 + 27x + 27) = x^4 + 9x^3 + 27x^2 + 27x[/tex]

(Use 1 for the leading coefficient.)

Multiply the polynomial by 1, so it stays the same. The polynomial in expanded form is:

[tex]f(x) = x^4 + 9x^3 + 27x^2 + 27x[/tex]

What number should be added to -3/2 to get -5/8​

Answers

Answer: 7 / 8 should be added

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number that should be added

Write the equation

-3/2 + x = -5/8

Add -3/2 on both sides

-3/2 + x + 3/2 = -5/8 + 3/2

x = -5/8 + 3/2

Change the denominator of 3/2 to 8 in order to do addition

x = -5/8 + 12 / 8

x = 7 / 8

A=78.5cm²

Answer: d=10cm

According to the formula i.e. A=πr²

first we need 'r'

as r=d/2

hence,  r= 10cm/2

Solution:

The area is ...

  A = LW

  42 = w(w +2)

  43 = w² +2w +1 . . . . . . add 1 to complete the square

  √43 = w+1

To solve the system of linear equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 by using the linear combination method, Henry decided that he should first multiply the first equation by –3 and then add the two equations together to eliminate the x-terms. When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this?
A. because the system of equations actually has only one solution
B. because the system of equations actually has no solution
C.because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other
D. because the graph of one of the equations does not exist

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other

Step-by-step explanation:

When a system of linear equations has an infinite number of solutions, the equations are "dependent." That means they both describe the same line. The graph will appear to be one line because the lines overlap each other.

Additional comment

The Desmos graphing calculator lets the texture of the graph be varied, so we can see that the two lines overlap. In the attached, one equation is graphed as a dotted red line, the other as a solid blue line.

[tex]\approx 0.482659[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability is the chance of an event happening based on data, or rather the experiment results, and not on a theoretical calculation. In essence, a theoretical calculation can be described by the following formula:

[tex]\frac{desired}{total}[/tex]

However, the experimental probability can be described with the following formula:

[tex]\frac{number\ of\ desired\ outcomes}{number\ of \ trials}[/tex]

The number of trials is the sum of the number of outcomes. In this case, the desired outcome is tails. Therefore, the experimental probability can be described using the following formula:

[tex]\frac{tails}{total}[/tex]

One can also rewrite the formula as the following. This is because the total is the sum of the number of the two outcomes:

[tex]\frac{tails}{heads+tails}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]\frac{167}{167+179}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]\frac{167}{346}[/tex]

What is the value of b? -11b + 7 =40 (also there is another question in the bottom of the picture. If you can answer it please do)

Answers

Problem 1

The idea here is to follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what is happening to the variable b, so we can isolate it.

-11b + 7 = 40

-11b = 40-7

-11b = 33

b = 33/(-11)

b = -3

To check this value, plug it back into the original equation. You should get 40 on each side to help confirm the answer.

Answer:  b = -3

=====================================================

Problem 2

There are two ways we can solve. One method is to use the hint your teacher gave you. So we'll distribute first and then follow the same idea as problem 1

9(p-4) = -18

9p-36 = -18

9p = -18+36

9p = 18

p = 18/9

p = 2

Another method you can use is to follow these steps

9(p-4) = -18

p-4 = -18/9

p-4 = -2

p = -2+4

p = 2

Either way, we get the same result. To check the answer, replace every p with 2 in the original equation. You should get -18 on the left side after simplifying.

Step-by-step explanation:

One theorem tells us that if a triangle has two congruent sides and one of the included angle is bigger than the other, the triangle with the included angle that is bigger. has a bigger side than the other.

This is the opposite in this case. The triangles share two sides and we know that the triangle with the side length 18 has a bigger angle than the triangle with the side length 15. So this means that

[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]

Let find the range of x values.

An angle cannot be negative or zero so this means that

[tex]2x - 10 > 0[/tex]

Solve for x.

[tex]2x > 10[/tex]

[tex]x > 5[/tex]

The angle cannot be bigger than 48 so

[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]

Solve for x.

[tex]58 > 2x[/tex]

[tex]29 > x[/tex]

So x must be greater than 5 but less than 29.

A graphing calculator can do a nice job of showing you what the graph looks like.

The initial factor of 4 is the value when x=0, the y-intercept. The base of 2 tells you the function value is multiplied by 2 for each unit of x to the right, and divided by 2 for each unit of x to the left. (The curve quickly goes off the top of the graph.)

I don’t understand these 3 questions and I need help.

Answers

Not sure about the first one but the second one is option c (or -3). You just have to factor and find the solutions (so it would be -7 and 4 and then u just add them)

For question 39 the answer is c

Answer:

1: A=1

2: -3

3: C

Step-by-step explanation:

1: If 3x+4 is a factor, then -4/3 is equal to x. Substitute it in for x and solve for a.  This gives us A=1.

For the commenter not understanding how I got -4/3: 3x+4 being a factor means that it equals 0. It might help you understand this if you remember that after factoring, like I did for 38 in my photo, we take expressions like x-4 and set them equal to 0 to get x=4, a solution. So, subtract 4 from both sides to get 3x=-4, then divide both sides by 3 to get x alone. Thus, x=-4/3.

2: To find the sum, we first need to find the two solutions. We can factor to get (x+7)(x-4). This gives us x=-7 and x=+4. The solution of these two would be (-7)+4 is -3.

3: B is a close answer, but the signs are wrong on the bottom. Factoring the question would give us 2(x-2) / 2(x^2-x-2). Factoring that equation is 2(x-2) / 2(x+1)(x-2). Simplifying this gives us 1 / x+1.
