If I put 1,000 dollars on a cd for 6 months with 35% intrest rate how much with it add up to when I check on it on the 6th month.

If it's 35% per year, then you get 17.5% of $1000 = $175 interest --> $1175.
Unless it's compound interest, then you have to state the compounding period.

what is x when side lengths 5, 10 and x make an acute triangle?
--------------
x has to be greater than 5 to make any triangle (10 - 5).
x has to be less than the value that makes a right triangle.
x for a right triangle is sqrt(10^ - 5^2) = 5sqrt(3)
-------------
5 < x < 5sqrt(3)

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 8x%5E2%2B-10x%2B-3+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-10%29%5E2-4%2A8%2A-3=196.

Discriminant d=196 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--10%2B-sqrt%28+196+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-10%29%2Bsqrt%28+196+%29%29%2F2%5C8+=+1.5
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-10%29-sqrt%28+196+%29%29%2F2%5C8+=+-0.25

Quadratic expression 8x%5E2%2B-10x%2B-3 can be factored:
8x%5E2%2B-10x%2B-3+=+%28x-1.5%29%2A%28x--0.25%29
Again, the answer is: 1.5, -0.25. Here's your graph:

------------
A cube has 6 faces.
Each of them would be 100 sq cms.

Assuming it's the same speed,
twice the time --> twice the distance.


Inequalities/601434: Hi can you please help me figure this problem. I am solving for x and y. the equation is {(3x+4y=48,x-y=2) this is how the teacher wrote it out on my assignment.

-------------
Firstly, that's not an equation. It's 2 equations, called a system of equations.
------------
2nd, 40 & 42 are not the answers.
-----------
3x+4y=48
x-y=2 --> x = y+2
----
Sub for x in the 1st eqn
3(y+2) + 4y = 48
6y+6 + 4y = 48
7y = 42
y = 6
------
x = y+2
x = 8

a ski lift carried Paul up a slope at rate of 6 km/h, and he skied back down parallel to the lift at 34 km/h. The round trip took 30 minutes. How far did he ski and for how long???
-----------
The average speed of the round trip is
2*6*34/(6+34) = 10.2 km/hr
------------
RT distance = 10.2*0.5 = 5.1 km
------
2.55 km skiing
t = d/r = 2.55/34
= 0.075 hr or 4.5 minutes skiing

what is an inequality, in slope-intercept form, for the graph with the points (1,1) and (0,-2)?
-------------------
You can find an equation of the line thru the 2 points.
----
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = -3/-1
m = 3
------
The y-intercept is one of the points, (0,-2)
That makes the equation
y = 3x - 2

A man travels 800 miles in 144 minutes. How fast was his speed?
----------
If you mean "What was his speed?", then
d = r*t
r = d/t = 800/144
r = 50/9 miles per minute

find all values of ⊖ in the interval 0°≤ ⊖ < 360° that satisfy the equation 2cos²⊖ = cos ⊖ + 1
-----------------
Sub x for cos(theta)
2x^2 = x + 1
2x^2 - x - 1 = 0
(2x + 1)*(x - 1) = 0
x = 1
cos = 1
theta = 90 degs
-----------
x = cos = -1/2
theta = 120, 240 degs

----------------
Sqrt(20) is the distance between the 2 points.
---
To find the midpoint, find the average of x & y separately.
x: (2+6)/2 = 4
y: (2+4)/2 = 3
--> (4,3)

Write one possible equation for a line parallel to the graph of f(x)=3/2x-5
----------
All parallel lines have the same slope, 3/2 in this case.
y = (3/2)x + k where k is any number is parallel.
