What is the connection between the length and the height of a parallelogram and its area?
Its area is equal to its length, multiplied by its height
What is the difference of seventy-eight and negative forty-nine?
78 - (-49) is the same as 78 + 49 which equals 127
How long will it take a car traveling at 1118 feet per second to go across a 300 ft long field?
300/1118=
.268 seconds
Think of a pizza that has 12 slices. You will eat the slices from the result of your division.
1. In the first example, lets say you eat 3 out of the 12 slices. That is expressed as 3/12 in the math world.
1. Second example will be 0 divide by 12 (0/12 or zero divided by 12). This means you will get zero of the 12 slices. You have no slices to eat.
2. Third example is division by zero (12/0). First of all this does not exist. You cannot get 12 slices from a pizza that has 0 slices. Think of this as you got to the pizza box and you WANTED to eat 12 slices but all your friends ate all the slices before you. The pizza is gone and does not exist anymore. So 12/0 does not exist in the math world.
Dividing by 0 is undefined. It's not possible.
If you do 1 hour and 30 minutes every day for 17 days how many hours would you have?
1.5 hours x 17 days = 25.5 hours = 25 hours 30 minutes
What would each side be if there was an 8 by 8 octagon?
If the "8 by 8 octagon" refers to the distances between its opposite sides rather than opposite vertices (its principal diagonals), then the side lengths are 8*[sqrt(2) - 1] units of length.
Ow would you would graph the linear equation y equals -2x plus 6?
y = -2x + 6
slope = m = -2 = -2/1 = rise/run
y-intercept: 6
x-intercept: 3
y = 0
0 = -2x +6
0 + 2x = -2x + 2x + 6
2x = 6
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3
So we have two points (3, 0) and (0, 6). We can find another point using the slope -2/1.
Use the point (0, 6):
(0 + 1, 6 - 2) = (1, 4)
Draw the line that passes through the points (0, 6), (1, 4), and (3, 0).
How much greater is 3x plus 2 than 5 7x?
(3x+2)-(5+7x) = 3x+2-5-7x = -4x-3
3x+2 is -4x-3 times greater than 5+7x.
Where is 3x raised to the 4th plus 4x raised to the 3rd -36x squared plus 1 increasing?
(3x)^4 +(4x)^3 -(36x)^2 +1 or 3x^4 + 4x^3 -36x^2 +1? Not sure from the way you said it.
In either case the method is the same. Use the power rule for differentiation, d/dx(x^n) = nx^(n-1), to take the derivative of the equation term by term, and then set this equal to zero and solve for x. You will get a cubic function when you do this, so you can try to factor it after you differentiate to simplify the problem.
Assuming the second case (It seems more likely) differentiating gives the following, which I have set equal to zero:
12x^3 + 12x^2 - 72x=0
x(12x^2 +12x-72)=0 Factor out an x
x(12)(x-2)(x+3)=0 Factor some more
This gives horizontal tangents at x=-3,0,and 2. Now all you have to do is plug some easy numbers into the derivative from the intervals between these values. Negative derivative means decreasing, positive means increasing. Good luck!
What is the value of the x in this equation 6 plus 6x56 x?
Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by WA means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc.
How do you factor the expression x cubed minus x squared?
x3-x2
Both terms in this expression have x2 in them, so "divide" each term by it using the distributive property in reverse.
x2(x-1) = x3-x2
If you "re-distribute" you should see that they are equal.
What is the value of x and y if 4x plus 1.5y equals 79?
There are infinitely many pairs of values (x, y) which will satisfy 4x + 1.5y = 79
The equation can be rearranged:
4x + 1.5y = 79
⇒ 1.5y = 79 - 4x
⇒ y = (158 - 8x) ÷ 3
For any given value of x, plug it into the above equation and the corresponding value of y will be calculated. So, some pairs of values (x, y) that satisfy this are:
(-2, 58), (1, 50), (4, 42), (7, 34)
How do you make x the subject of x squared-b equals 9?
x2-b = 9
x2 = 9+b
Square root both sides:
x = the square root of (9+b)
What is 2x-6x plus 5 equals 0?
2X - 6X + 5 = 0
subtract 5 from each side
2X - 6X = - 5
do what it says on the left
- 4X = - 5
X = 5/4
check in original equation
2(5/4) - 6(5/4) + 5 = 0
10/4 - 30/4 + 5 = 0
- 20/4 + 5 = 0
- 5 + 5 = 0
0 = 0
checks
What is 9x squared minus 6xy plus y squared minus 81 factored as?
9x2 - 6xy + y2 - 81
= (3x - y)2 - 92
= (3x - y - 9)(3x - y + 9)
