8. The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28. Find allpossible values for the number.

Answers

Answer 1
Unknown values

We need to find a number x

We know its square (x²) decreased by 3 times it (3x) is 28. Then

x² - 3x = 28

x² - 3x - 28 = 0 [Simplifying the equation]

Since - 7 + 4 = - 3 and (-7) (4) = - 28, we factor the polynomial:

(x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 [Factoring the polynomial]

When a multiplication, like (x - 7)(x + 4), equals cero?

it equals cero if and only if

(x - 7) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0

Then, simplifying both equations

x = 7 or x = - 4

Answer: x = 7 or x = - 4

Find the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 28.26 centimeters. Use 3.14 for π.

Answers

Answer:

The diameter of the circle is 9.0 cm.

[tex]d=9.0\text{ cm}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that the circumference of the circle is 28.26 centimeters.

[tex]C=28.26\text{ cm}[/tex]

Recall that the formula for the circumference of a circle is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r=\pi d \\ d=\frac{C}{\pi} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting the given values;

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\frac{28.26\text{ cm}}{3.14} \\ d=9.0\text{ cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 9.0 cm.

[tex]d=9.0\text{ cm}[/tex]

Where x is the horizontal distance in feet from the point at which the ball is thrown.How far from the child does the ball strike the ground?

Answers

To calculate the maximum distance that the ball takes, we can use the first and second derivatives of y to find out this. We have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{14}x^2+4x+3 \\ \Rightarrow y^{\prime}=-\frac{2}{14}x+4=-\frac{1}{7}x+4 \\ \Rightarrow y^{\doubleprime}=-\frac{1}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using the second derivative criterion, we have that y'' < 0, therefore, we have a maximum in the root of the first derivative. For that, we get the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^{\prime}=0 \\ \Rightarrow-\frac{1}{7}x+4=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{7}x=4 \\ \Rightarrow x=7\cdot4=28 \\ x=28 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, at x=28 is where the maximum distance is. Now we only substitute x=28 in y to find out:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{14}(28)^2+4(28)+3 \\ \Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{14}(784)+112+3 \\ \Rightarrow y=-56+112+3=59 \\ y=59 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Finally, we have that the ball will go 59 feet from the child

Graph the solution to the following system of inequalities.ys-2x-3y> 4x + 710-8-4-Х?10

Answers

Explanation

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\leq-2x-3 \\ y>4x+7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 1

First, graph the inequality 1

[tex]y\leq-2x-3[/tex]

the related equation is

[tex]y=-2x-3[/tex]

now, get 2 coordinates of the line

a) when x=1

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-2x-3 \\ y=-2(1)-3 \\ y=-2-3 \\ y=-5 \\ so,\text{ the coordinate is (1,-5)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

b)when x=0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-2x-3 \\ y=-2\cdot0-3 \\ y=0-3 \\ y=-3 \\ \text{coordinate P2}\Rightarrow(0,-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]

now, draw a line that pases trought the coordinates we found.

Since the inequality is ≤ , not a strict one, the border line is solid

Step 2

Now, do the same for inequality 2

so

[tex]y>4x+7[/tex]

the related equation is

[tex]y=4x+7[/tex]

find 2 coordinates of the line

a)when x=0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x+7 \\ y=4\cdot0+7 \\ y=0+7 \\ y=7 \\ so,\text{ the coordinate 3 is (0,7)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

b) when x=-2

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x+7 \\ y=4\cdot-2+7 \\ y=-8+7 \\ y=-1 \\ so,\text{ the coordinate 4 is (-2},-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]

now, draw the line 2, this lines passes trougth the coordiantes 3 and 4

Since the inequality is >, a strict one, the border line is dotted

Step 3

Graph:

in inequality (1) we need the values smaller r than -2x-3, it measn all values under the line,

and in Inequality 2 we need the values greater than 4x+7, it means all values over the line

so, the solution is the dark purple zone

Find the area of the shaded sector of the circle. Leave your answers in terms of pi

Answers

Answer:

D. 8pi yd^2

Explanation:

Area of a sector is expressed as;

[tex]A\text{ = }\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi r^2[/tex]

r is the radius of the circle

theta is the angle substended at the centre

Given the following

r = 9yd

theta = 360-200

theta = 160degrees

Substitute

A = 160/360 * pi(9)^2

A = 4/9*18pi

A = 72pi/9

A = 8pi yd2

Hence the area of the shaded sector is 8pi yd2

What is an obtuse angle?A) Angle COAB) Angle BOAC) Angle DOBD) Angle DOA

Answers

An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90° but not eauql or greater than 180°.

COA is the sum of COB and BOA, which is 90°, so COA is not obtuse.

BOA is 60°, so it is not obtuse.

DOA is a straight line, so it is 180°, so not obtuse.

DOB is COD plus COB. Since COA is 90°, DOC is also 90°, so DOC ples COB is 120°, which is between 90° and 180°, so DOB is obtuse and the correct alternative is C.

The average amount of water used per person each day in a country is 45 gallons. How much water does the average person use in one year?

Answers

Proportions

It's assumed the amount of water consumed by one person is proportional to the time.

The contant of proportionality is given as 45 gal/day.

Since one normal year has 365 days, then we use the same proportion to calculate the water used in one year as follows:

Water used = 45 * 365 = 16,425 gallons.

The average person uses 16,425 gallons.of water in one year
