Graphs/370257: How do I graph slope: -2; y-intercept (0,3) 1 solutions Answer 263970 by Alan3354(30959)   on 2010-11-13 06:45:21 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's a straight line, so you need only 2 points. One point is given, the y-int is (0,3) Slope = -2 Add 1 to x and -2 to y --> (1,1), the 2nd point. Draw a line thru them.

Percentage-and-ratio-word-problems/370267: A large cube is dipped into red paint and divided into 216 smaller congruent cubes. one of the smaller cube is then randomly selected. What is the probability that the cube selected will have at least 25% of its surface area painted red? express answers as a common fraction 1 solutions Answer 263969 by Alan3354(30959)   on 2010-11-13 06:32:40 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The surface are of a cube with sides of 3 = 6*3^2 = 54, so after the division, 54 of the cubes will have some paint on them. The center cube of each face will have only one of its faces painted, 6 of those, so 48 cubes will have 2 or 3 faces painted, giving them more than 25% coverage. 48/216 = 2/9

Radicals/370121: Why do we divide by 2 when solving problems involving gravity, 32 feet per second per second? 1 solutions Answer 263940 by Alan3354(30959)   on 2010-11-12 22:59:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! We don't always. v = 32t See? ---- To find the distance an object falls in, eg, 1 second, tho: Its speed at the end of 1 second = 32 ft/sec, but its starting speed was zero. That makes its average speed for that 1 second 16 ft/sec. So, s = at^2/2 = 32*1^2/2 = 16 feet. Or, s = 16t^2

If you mean (8+20i)/2i = (4 + 10i)/i Multiply by i = (4i - 10)/-1 = 10 - 4i ------------ If you mean 8 + (20i/2i) = 8 + 10 = 18 ----- Parentheses are free, use some.

Square-cubic-other-roots/370276: Can a cubic equation have only two roots? 1 solutions Answer 263905 by Alan3354(30959)   on 2010-11-12 21:32:59 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a sense it can, and it can have only 1. eg (x-2)^3 has x = 2 as its only solution, but it's multiplicity 3. (x-2)^2 is a quadratic that has 2 as the only zero, but it's multiplicity 2. -------------- It's a matter of semantics.

Matrices-and-determiminant/370212: Solve the system of equations if possible. 2x-3y-z=15 2x+3y+z=1 2x+3y-z=3 1 solutions Answer 263880 by Alan3354(30959)   on 2010-11-12 19:35:29 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x-3y-z=15 2x+3y+z=1 2x+3y-z=3 ------------- Use elimination 2x-3y-z=15 2x+3y+z=1 ---------- Add 4x = 15 x = 4 ------ 2x-3y-z=15 2x+3y-z=3 ----------- Add 4x - 2z = 18 16 - 2z = 18 z = -1 -------- 2x+3y+z=1 8 + 3y - 1 = 1 3y = -6 y = -2 ------- Most are not this easy.

Quadratic_Equations/370229: A model for the path of a toy rocket is given by 68t-4.9t(squared), where h is the altitude in meters and t is the time in seconds.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 52 inches squared. Its area is 153 inches squared. What is its length and width? What I've done so far y=26-x -x^2+ 26x -52 = 0 ------------- x + y = 26 x*y = 153 x*(26 - x) = 153 (you had 52) x^2 - 26x + 153 = 0 (x-9)*(x-17) = 0 x = 9, 17 --> 9 by 17 inches

A line and a point example. Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2) ----------------- Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y. 9x+3y = 36 3y= - 9x + 36 y = -3x + 12 The slope, m = -3 ------------------ The slope of lines parallel is the same. The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3 ---------------- Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b. 2 = (1/3)*1 + b b = 5/3 The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form) x - 3y = -5 (standard form) ------------------------ For further assistance, or to check your work, email me via the thank you note, or at Moral Loophole@aol.com
