Write and solve an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal. b. What will the value of each card be when they have equal value? a. If x is the number of 30-day periods, then the equation can be used to find the number of 30-day periods until the values of the gift cards will be equal.
(Type an equation. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The required solution is 40 and after 40days  $10 left for each of the gift card.

It is required to find the solution.

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign. Equation, statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers.

Given:

The first equation is 130 - 3x because you start with $130 and subtract 3 for each 30 day period.

The second equation is 110-2.50x

Set them equal to each other:  130 - 3x = 110 - 2.50x

Solve for x:

130 - 3x = 110 - 2.50x

130-110=3x-2.50x

20=0.50x

40 = x

After 30-40 day periods (1200 days), both cards should have equal value.

Card 1 after 40 periods,

=130 - 3(40) = $10 left

Card 2 after 40 periods

=110 - 2.5(40) = $10 left

Therefore, the required solution is 40 and after 40days  $10 left for each of the gift card.

Andrés tiene una cuerda de 120 metros y otra de 96 metros. Desea cortarlas de modo que todos los trozos sean iguales pero lo más largos posible. ¿Cuántos trozos de cuerda obtendrá?

Answers

Answer:

Se obtendrá 9 trozos de cuerda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Para que sea cada trozo de igual extensión, pero lo más posible, se tiene que encontrar el máximo común divisor de 96 y 120 para determinar la longitud máxima del trozo. Se realiza el siguiente procedimiento para determinar el máximo común divisor:

1) Se determina cada número como producto de números primos:

[tex]96 = 2^{5}\times 3[/tex]

[tex]120 = 2^{3}\times 3 \times 5[/tex]

2) Se determina los números primos comunes de cada número y se multiplican entre sí:

[tex]x = 2^{3}\times 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 8\times 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 24\,m[/tex]

Cada trozo debe ser de 24 metros de longitud.

Ahora se determina el número de trozos al dividir la longitud total por el resultado anterior:

[tex]n = \frac{120\,m+96\,m}{24\,m}[/tex]

[tex]n = 9[/tex]

Se obtendrá 9 trozos de cuerda.

What is the value of a if (2a+3)−(4a−8)=7?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7

-2a + 11 = 7

-2a = -4

a = 2

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{a = 2}}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf{(2a + 3) - (4a - 8) = 7}[/tex]

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses , change the sign of sign of each term in the expression

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7}}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a + 3 + 8 = 7}}[/tex]

Add the numbers: 3 and 8

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a + 11 = 7}}[/tex]

Move 11 to right hand side and change it's sign

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a = 7 - 11}}[/tex]

Subtract 11 from 7

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2a = - 4}}[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{ - 2a}{ - 2} = \frac{ - 4}{ - 2} }}[/tex]

Calculate

If the system of equations have the same slope and same y-intercepts then it means that they have infinitely many solutions.

if the system of equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts it means that they have no solution because they will never intersect but will always form parallel lines.

If the system of equations have different slopes and different y-intercepts or have same y-intercepts and different slopes it means that they have exactly on solution.

Evaluate the following function over the domain {0,1,2,3}. What is the range?

Answers

Answer:Another way to identify the domain and range of functions is by using graphs. Because the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.

range is The zero doesn't matter. You still subtract the lowest number from the highest. If zero is the lowest number, then the highest number is the range. If the set consists of negative numbers, and zero is the highest number, then the lowest number (without its negative sign) is the range.

Let f be the function defined by f(x)=cx−5x^2/2x^2+ax+b, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of f has a vertical asymptote at x=1, and f has a removable discontinuity at x=−2. (a) Show that a=2 and b=−4. (b) Find the value of c. Justify your answer. (c) To make f continuous at x=−2, f(−2) should be defined as what value? Justify your answer. (d) Write an equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f. Show the work that leads to your answer.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]a = 2[/tex] and [tex]b = -4[/tex], b) [tex]c = -10[/tex], c) [tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex], d) [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

a) After we read the statement carefully, we find that rational-polyomic function has the following characteristics:

1) A root of the polynomial at numerator is -2. (Removable discontinuity)

2) Roots of the polynomial at denominator are 1 and -2, respectively. (Vertical asymptote and removable discontinuity.

We analyze each polynomial by factorization and direct comparison to determine the values of [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex].

Denominator

i) [tex](x+2)\cdot (x-1) = 0[/tex] Given

ii) [tex]x^{2} + x-2 = 0[/tex] Factorization

iii) [tex]2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4 = 0[/tex] Compatibility with multiplication/Cancellative Property/Result

After a quick comparison, we conclude that [tex]a = 2[/tex] and [tex]b = -4[/tex]

b) The numerator is analyzed by applying the same approached of the previous item:

Numerator

i) [tex]c\cdot x - 5\cdot x^{2} = 0[/tex] Given

ii) [tex]x \cdot (c-5\cdot x) = 0[/tex] Distributive Property

iii) [tex](-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x-\frac{c}{5}\right)=0[/tex] Distributive and Associative Properties/[tex](-a)\cdot b = -a\cdot b[/tex]/Result

As we know, this polynomial has [tex]x = -2[/tex] as one of its roots and therefore, the following identity must be met:

i) [tex]\left(x -\frac{c}{5}\right) = (x+2)[/tex] Given

ii) [tex]\frac{c}{5} = -2[/tex] Compatibility with addition/Modulative property/Existence of additive inverse.

iii) [tex]c = -10[/tex] Definition of division/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Compatibility with multiplication/Modulative property/Result

The value of [tex]c[/tex] is -10.

c) We can rewrite the rational function as:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{(-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x+2 \right)}{2\cdot (x+2)\cdot (x-1)}[/tex]

After eliminating the removable discontinuity, the function becomes:

[tex]f(x) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{x}{x-1}\right)[/tex]

At [tex]x = -2[/tex], we find that [tex]f(-2)[/tex] is:

[tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left[\frac{(-2)}{(-2)-1} \right][/tex]

[tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

d) The value of the horizontal asympote is equal to the limit of the rational function tending toward [tex]\pm \infty[/tex]. That is:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} \frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4}[/tex] Given

[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[\left(\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x-4}\right)\cdot 1\right][/tex] Modulative Property

[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[\left(\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x-4}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}} \right)\right][/tex] Existence of Multiplicative Inverse/Definition of Division

[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{x^{2}} }{\frac{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4}{x^{2}} } \right)[/tex]   [tex]\frac{\frac{x}{y} }{\frac{w}{z} } = \frac{x\cdot z}{y\cdot w}[/tex]

[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{-\frac{10}{x}-5 }{2+\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{x^{2}} } \right)[/tex]   [tex]\frac{x}{y} + \frac{z}{y} = \frac{x+z}{y}[/tex]/[tex]x^{m}\cdot x^{n} = x^{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex] Limit properties/[tex]\lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac{1}{x^{n}} = 0[/tex], for [tex]n \geq 1[/tex]

The horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex].

Using asymptote concepts, it is found that:

a) Building a quadratic equation with leading coefficient 2 and roots 1 and -2, it is found that a = 2, b = -4.

b) c = -10, since the discontinuity at x = -2 is removable, the numerator is 0 when x = -2.

c) Simplifying the function, it is found that at [tex]x = -2, f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex].

d) The equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

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

Item a:

Vertical asymptote at [tex]x = 1[/tex] and discontinuity at [tex]x = -2[/tex] means that the the roots of the quadratic function at the denominator are [tex]x = 1[/tex] and [tex]x = -2[/tex].The leading coefficient is given as 2, thus, we build the equation to find coefficients a and b.

[tex]2(x - 1)(x - (-2)) = 2(x - 1)(x + 2) = 2(x^2 + x - 2) = 2x^2 + 2x - 4[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 + ax + b = 2x^2 - 2x - 4[/tex]

Thus a = 2, b = -4.

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

Item b:

Removable discontinuity at [tex]x = -2[/tex] means that the numerator when [tex]x = -2[/tex] is 0, thus:

[tex]-2c - 5(-2)^2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-2c - 20 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2c = -20[/tex]

[tex]c = -\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

[tex]c = -10[/tex]

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

Item c:

With the coefficients, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{-10x - 5x^2}{2x^2 + 2x - 4} = \frac{-5x(x + 2)}{2(x - 1)(x + 2)} = -\frac{5x}{2(x - 1)}[/tex]

At x = -2:

[tex]-\frac{5(-2)}{2(-2 - 1)} = -\frac{-10}{-6} = -(\frac{5}{3}) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Thus, simplifying the function, it is found that at [tex]x = -2, f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

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

Item d:

The horizontal asymptote of a function is:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{-10x - 5x^2}{2x^2 + 2x - 4} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{-5x^2}{2x^2} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} -\frac{5}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

The equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Given segment XZ and point Y that lies on XZ find XZ if XY = 7 and YZ = 17

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given segment XZ and point Y. First, draw a number line. Draw X and Z on either side of the number line. We know that Y is between X and Z since there are the distances of XY and YZ. To find XZ, add the distance of XY and YZ, which are respectively 7 and 17. Adding 7 and 17, we get 24 as the answer.

The value of XZ is 24.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

+ Addition operation: Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 12 + 2 = 14

What is a Line Segment?

A line segment is defined as a measured path between two places. Line segments can make up any polygon's sides because they have a set length.

The figure given below shows a line segment XZ, where the length of line segment XZ refers to the distance between its endpoints, X and Z.

Given that a line segment XZ and point Y that lies on XZ

XY = 7 and YZ = 17

Here XZ = XY + YZ

X_____________Y_______________Z

⇒ XZ = XY + YZ

Substitute the values of  XY = 7 and YZ = 17, we get

⇒ XZ = 7 +  17

Apply the addition operation in the above equation,  

⇒ XZ = 24

Therefore, the value of XZ is 24.

Explain why it might be easier to solve the multiplication problem by changing it from this: 5×87×2, to this: 5×2×87. Use a property of multiplication to justify your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

It makes the calculation easy and quick.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative Property of multiplicationThe product of two or more real numbers is not affected by the order in which they are being multiplied. In other words, real numbers can be multiplied in any order because the product remains the same.

When you multiply as it is given:

5×87×2=870Step 1)  5×87 = 435Step 2) 435×2 = 870

Using the commutative property makes it much easier:

5×2×87 = 870Step 1) 5×2 = 10Step 2) 10* 87 = 870

Answer:

see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

its a commutative property of multiplication.

it doesn't matter in order or not... the result will always be the same.

form your example 5×87×2, if you use a calculator it doesn't matter which number you start.

say 2 x 87 x 5 = 870

or 87 x 5 x 2 = 870

or 5 x 2 x 87 = 870

see the results are all the same no matter which way you go.

The answer is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

step one :

first and foremost we are going to list the sample space related to a die

the same space is  S= {1,2,3,4,5,6}= 6

step two:

now the even numbers in the sample space are ={2,4,6}= 3

hence we can solve for the probability of obtaining an even number to be

Pr(even number)= 3/6= 1/2.

step three:

since we are to provide the answer in percentage format, we can easily do this by multiplying the answer by 100 to get the percentage
