if 2x+4 = (x²)²÷2 then what is x?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4 = (x²)²÷2

2x + 4 = x^4/2

x^4 = 4x + 8

x^4 - 4x - 8 = 0

We can try trial an error to solve this

Looks like x = 2 fits it:

2^4 - 4(2) - 8

= 16 -8 -8 = 0

so x = 2 is one solution.

I can't find any other solution among other integers.

To find the other solutions you can draw a graph manually or by using software.

There will be either 1 or 3 more real solutions.

I used software to draw the graph and found one other solution:

x = -1.296

An unusually wet spring has caused the size of a mosquito population in some city to increase by 6% each
day. If an estimated 230,000 mosquitoes are in the city on May 12, find how many mosquitoes will inhabit the
city on May 26. Use y = 230,000(1.06)* where x is number of days since May 12.

Answers

Answer:

  about 520,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.

__

The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...

  x = 26 -12 = 14

Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...

  y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈  520,008

About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.

_____

Additional comment

Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.

1. A triangular garden is being formed with stones. The three sides measure 4 meters
by 6 meters by 7 meters. Which of the following is a true statement about the side
lengths of the triangle?
A The side lengths will nptform a triangle because 6 + 4 > 7
B. The side lengths will form a triangle because 4 + 6+ 7
C. The side lengths will not form a triangle because 7 + 4 < 6
D. The side lengths will form a triangle because 6 + 7 > 4

Answers

Answer:

The side lengths will form a triangle because 6+4 > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For side lengths, the two smallest sides (ex. 6 and 4) must have a greater sum than then highest side length. Since 6+4 is greater than 7, it creates a triange. If it would have been 5+2 it would not have worked because it needs to be greater than, not less than or equal to.

Are the following functions exponential growth or decay?
Graphing Exponentials

is this exponential growth? or exponential decay?

b) f(x)=2(0.5)x

is this a exponential growth? or exponential decay?

Answers

Answer:

a) growth b) decay

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function f (x) = b^x when b > 1, the function represents exponential growth.

In the function f (x) = b^x when 0 < b < 1, the function represents exponential decay.

a)b=2 > 1 this function growth

danil, gabriel and hadley share some money in the ratios 3:5:9 the difference between the amount of money that gabriel receives and the amount of money that hadley receives is 196 euros. work out the amount of money that danil receives

Answers

Using proportions, considering the ratios, it is found that Danil receives 65.33 euros.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

Danil, gabriel and hadley share some money in the ratios 3:5:9. Hence, the fraction of the total amount that Danil and Hadley receive are given by:

[tex]D = \frac{3}{17}n[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{9}{17}n[/tex]

The amount of money that hadley receives is 196 euros, hence the total amount is found as follows.

[tex]196 = \frac{9}{17}n[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{196 \times 17}{9}[/tex]

n = 370.22.

Hence, the amount received by Danil is given by:

[tex]D = \frac{3}{17}n = \frac{3}{17} \times 370.22 = 65.33[/tex]

What is the line of the equation PARALLEL to the line y=3x+4 and through the y-intercept of -6?

Answers

Parallel lines have slopes that are equal to one another.

Slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b (where m = slope and b = y-intercept)

the equation of the 1st line

y = 3x + 4 so it’s slope (m) = 3

the problem tells us the y-intercept of the second line is -6.

so we plug the two knowns into slope intercept form to get the equation of the second line:

y = 3x - 6

Answers

The equation of the line of best fit of Hannah's dataset represented by the graph is y = 1.25x  - 1

How to determine the equation of the line of best fit?

From the given figure, we have the following points on the line of best fit:

(x,y) = (2,1.5) and (4,4)

Start by calculating the slope (m) using:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{4 -1.5}{4 - 2}[/tex]

Evaluate the differences

[tex]m = \frac{2.5}{2}[/tex]

Divide

m = 1.25

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

So, we have:

y = 1.25(x - 2) + 1.5

Open the bracket

y = 1.25x - 2.5 + 1.5

Evaluate

y = 1.25x  - 1

Hence, the equation of the line of best fit is y = 1.25x  - 1

Are my answer correct? If not explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

First I will calculate the equation of the line that goes trough the points

C (0, 0) and (-4, 3).

y= mx + b

y = [(3-0)/ (-4 -0) ] x + 0

y = (-3/4)x  →the slope of tis line is (-3/4)

The slope of line l is the negative reciprocal of (-3/4) the slop of line that goes trough points C (0, 0) and (-4, 3) because the lines are ⊥.  

Slope of line l is 4/3

b)

The equation of l is

y= (4/3)x + b

for point (x= -4, y = 3) that belongs to the line l, we have

3 = (4/3) (-4) + b

3 = (-16/3) + b

3 + (16/3) = b

(9+16)/3 = b

25/3 = b

The equation of the line l in slope intercept form is :

y = (4/3)x + (25/3)

c)

The radius of circle C is the distance between C (0, 0) and (-4, 3).

d² = (x2-x1)² +(y2-y2)²

d = √(-4-0)² +(3-0)²

d = √16+ 9

d = 5 → the radius of the circle C is 5

d)

Line l intersects the y-axis at (25/3) as we previously found out.

The radius is 5.

...therefore the distance between the line l's y-intercept and the circumference of the circle is

(25/3 ) - 5  = (25 - 5·3)/3 = 10/3

A better way ( if you don't care to know the tax just the bottom line of what it will cost) would be to do:

0.765x x 1.06 = 76.5 x 1.06 = $81.09 too.

Why the 1 in front of the .06?  The one includes the price of the coat so you don't have to add the tax on after.

Think about it like this. When you buy something you pay (even with an employee

discount) for all of it (100%) + the tax (in this case, it's 6%)  So you pay 106% of the cost of the item.  106% = 1.06

[tex]\bar x_7 = \frac{1660}{20}[/tex]
