Write an equation to solve for the value of x. What is the value of x in the figure shown?

Answer:

A) The amount of gas they bought on each coast;

East Coast = 35 gallons

Mid-US = 100 gallons

West Coast = 15 gallons

B) The amount of gas they bought on each coast on the return journey;

East Coast = 37 gallons

Mid-US = 116 gallons

West Coast = 21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Maxis taking a cross-country road trip. Gas prices vary as the friends travel across the US from $4 dollars per gallon on the east coast to $3 in the mid-US, to $5 on the west coast.

(a) If they used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined, and they spend $515 on gas to purchased 150 gallons of gas, how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price?

The answer to this question is East Coast - 35 gal, Mid-US - 100 gal, West Coast - 15 gal.

(b) On their way back they had more baggage in the car and spend $601 for 174 gallons of gas. Based on the same ratio as in Part (a), how many gallons of gas did they buy at each price? I don't know the answer to this one

Solution

Let the amount of fuel bought on the east coast = x gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the mid-coast = y gallons

Let the amount of fuel bought on the west coast = z gallons

a) - They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $515 on gas to purchase 150 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 150

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 515

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 150

3x + 3z = 150

Divide through by 3

x + z = 50 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 515

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 515

10x + 11z = 515 (eqn **)

x + z = 50

10x + 11z = 515

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 35 gallons

z = 15 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(35 + 15) = 100 gallons

B) On the return journey, the ratio between x, y and z is still the same, but the total gallons and total amount spent is now different.

They used twice as much gas in the mid-US than on either coast combined

y = 2(x + z) = 2x + 2z (eqn 1)

- They spend $601 on gas to purchase 174 gallons of gas.

Total gallons purchased = x + y + z = 174

Total amount spent = 4x + 3y + 5z = 601

From eqn 1, y = 2x + 2z, inserting this value for y in the 2 other equations

x + y + z = x + 2x + 2z + z = 174

3x + 3z = 174

Divide through by 3

x + z = 58 (eqn *)

4x + 3y + 5z = 4x + 3(2x + 2z) + 5z = 601

4x + 6x + 6z + 5z = 601

10x + 11z = 601 (eqn **)

x + z = 58

10x + 11z = 601

Solving the simultaneous equation,

x = 37 gallons

z = 21 gallons

y = 2x + 2z = 2(37 + 21) = 116 gallons

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² + 40 = 31x

6x² - 31x + 40 = 0

6x² - 16x - 15x + (-5)*(-8) = 0

2x(3x - 8) - 5(3x -8) = 0

(3x - 8) (2x - 5) = 0

Hey there! I'm happy to help! :D

OVERVIEW

A complex number is a real number combined with an imaginary number (such as i, a number that will equal -1 when squared).

The complex plane is an interesting thing we use to graph complex numbers. The horizontal axis is where you plot the real part of the complex number, and the y-axis is where you plot the coefficient of the imaginary number.

For example, if I had the complex number 4+3i, I would plot the point (4,3) on the complex plane.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

MODULI

The modulus (plural is moduli) is the distance of a complex number from the origin on the complex plane. To find the modulus, you take the real number and the coefficient (basically the points of your graph), square them, add the results, and then you find the square root of that! Here's a little checklist so that you can always find the modulus of any complex number!

STEPS TO FIND MODULUS GIVEN COMPLEX NUMBER

STEP 1: PLOT THE COMPLEX NUMBER

Let's use our complex number 4+3i. If we plot it, the point will be (4,3)

STEP 2: TAKE YOUR VALUES OF X AND Y AND SQUARE THEM

4²=16

3²=9

STEP 3: ADD THESE SQUARES

16+9=25

STEP 4: SQUARE ROOT IT

√25=5

Therefore, the modulus (distance from the origin on the complex plane) of 4+3i is 5.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLVING THE PROBLEM

In our case, we are given a modulus but not a point on the line. Our modulus is the square root of seventeen. We are going to have to the steps to find the modulus backwards to find our points. I will put the steps for finding a complex number given the modulus below.

STEPS TO FIND COMPLEX NUMBER GIVEN MODULUS

STEP 1: SQUARE THE MODULUS

√17²=17

STEP 2: FIND THE SQUARES THAT MAKE UP THE NUMBER

Before, we could just add things we found. Now, we have to find the things that were added! How do we know what things were added to find 17?  Well, we know that we added two squares to find the modulus, so we will subtract a square of some sort and hopefully come up with another square.

Let's see what squares exist that are less than seventeen.

1, 4, 9, 16

(Note that one is 1², 4 is 2², 9 is 3², and 16 is 4²)

Which of these can we add to get 17?

Well, we can do 1 and 16, so this is our result so far.

STEP 3: SQUARE ROOT THE RESULTS

Now, we just find the square roots of what we found in the last problem!

√1=1

√16=4

STEP 4: PLOT THE GIVEN NUMBERS ON THE PLANE AND FIND THE COMPLEX NUMBER

We can plot these either way because the modulus of 1+4i will be the same distance from the origin as 4+i because we only use the commutative property (adding order doesn't matter) when looking for the modulus. You can also have the negative version of either number because you immediately square it, so it can also be -4+i or 4-i! You can also rearrange the equation in tons of ways to figure it out. You could also have both be negative, flip the coefficient placement, etc.!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLUTION

Therefore, the complex numbers that have a distance of √17 from the origin on the complex plane are ±4±i and ±1±4i. So, why did I write all of these funny plus and minus signs? Well, it's so that I didn't have to write all of the possible equations. I believe those equations actually represent 8 possible points we can create with the solution we got.

4+i

-4+i

4-i

-4-i

1+4i

-1+4i

1-4i

-1-4i

You can plug these complex numbers back in and find the modulus with my instructions to find the modulus given a complex number. Now, you will be able to deal with moduli and complex numbers for the rest of your life!

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :)

Answer:

He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no of small boxes sold .

Cost of 1 small boxes of oranges = $5

Cost of x small boxes of oranges = 5x

Let y be the no. of large boxes sold

Cost of 1 large boxes of oranges = $9

Cost of y large boxes of oranges = 9y

He sold 17 boxes in all total for 105

So,x+y=17 ---1

So,5x+9y=105 ---2

Substitute the value of x from 1 in 2

5x+9(17-x)=105

5x+153-9x=105

153-105=4x

[tex]\frac{153-105}{4}=x[/tex]

12=x

Substitute value of x in 1

12+y=17

y=17-12

y=5

Difference in no. of boxes = 12-5 = 7

So, He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

Answer:

The equation of the circle is [tex]{ \left(x - 1 \right)^2 + \left( y - 2 \right)^2 = \frac{ 25 }{ 4 } }[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the general standard equation for the circle centered at (h, k) with radius r.

                                           [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

From the graph we know that the center, the red point, is (1, 2) and the circle pass through the point (2.5, 4) the blue point.

To find the standard equation of the circle you must:

Step 1: Find circle radius.

To find a radius of a circle we will compute the distance between points [tex]C=(1, 2)[/tex] and [tex]P=(2.5, 4)={ \left( \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } , 4 \right) }[/tex]. The distance can be computed by using formula:

[tex]r = \sqrt{ \left(C_x - P_x\right)^2 + \left(C_y - P_y\right)^2 }\\\\r = \sqrt{ \left(1 - \frac{5}{2} )^2 + \left(2 - 4)^2 }[/tex]

[tex]r=\sqrt{\frac{3^2}{2^2}+2^2}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}+4}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Step 2: Substitute the values of the radius and the center into the general standard equation for the circle.

[tex]\begin{aligned} \left(x - 1 \right)^2 + \left(y - 2 \right)^2 &= \left(\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\right)^2 \\ \left(x - 1 \right)^2 + \left( y - 2 \right)^2 &= \frac{ 25 }{ 4 } \end{aligned}[/tex]

Answer:

t ≥0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

The initial population: 500

The graph models the population of the bacteria colony P(t) as a function of the time t, in weeks,

=> our function is: P(t) =500*[tex]b^{t}[/tex] where b is the base number and it is ≥0

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers greater than zero

<=> t ≥0 (because t present for the time and time can not have negative value)  

t  is the independent variable is this exponential function and the population of bacteria depends on the change of t.

Because it is the growth function so the range (the population of bacteria) increase over its domain (the time)

Hope it will find you well.

Answer: Center (0, -8) and Radius = 2

The standard equation of a circle is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

You can write the equation as (x-0)² + (y-( -8))² = 2². From this, you can conclude that the center is (0,-8) and the radius is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

length: [tex]7\frac{1}{2}in[/tex] Convert to an improper fraction. [tex]\frac{7*2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

width: [tex]5 in[/tex]

[tex]Formula: A=w*l[/tex]

[tex]A=(5in)(\frac{15}{2}in)\\A=\frac{75}{2}in^2[/tex]

Convert to ft. I assume your conversion factor is [tex]\frac{1}{2}in. : 1ft[/tex]. However, the unit we need is squared. Square both sides.

[tex](\frac{1}{2}in.)^2 : (1ft)^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4}in^2 : 1ft^2[/tex]

Convert.

[tex]\frac{75}{2}in^2(\frac{1ft^2}{\frac{1}{4}in^2 } )=[/tex]

Answer:

must not be

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole thing equals 360 degrees

Angle B and Angle D are equal; which equals 190 degrees.

Add Angle A to 190 degrees; which is 86 + 190 = 276.

Subtract 360, which is what the whole thing equals, and 276, which is the known angle added together, and you get 56.

In order for this to be a parallelogram, the opposite angles need to be equal.

Since they are not, the answer is must not be.
