test/702332: 23/20 into percent

23%2F20....Because the numerator (top part) is larger than the denominator, you know it will be more than 100%.
let percent be x%; Since percentages are really just fractions with the denominator of 100, we can say x%2F100
so, we can write
23%2F20=x%2F100.......turn the denominator from a 20 to a 100

23%2A5%2F%2820%2A5%29=x%2F100

115%2F100=x%2F100.....since denominators same, nominators must be same too; so,

x=115%

Solved by pluggable solver: Solve the System of Equations by Graphing



Start with the given system of equations:


1x-2y=-3

1x-2y=4





In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


1x-2y=-3 Start with the given equation



-2y=-3-x Subtract +x from both sides



-2y=-x-3 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-x-3%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-1%2F-2%29x%2B%28-3%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2 Reduce



Now lets graph y=%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2 (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2%29+ Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2




So let's solve for y on the second equation


1x-2y=4 Start with the given equation



-2y=4-x Subtract +x from both sides



-2y=-x%2B4 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-x%2B4%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-1%2F-2%29x%2B%284%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%281%2F2%29x-2 Reduce





Now lets add the graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-2 to our first plot to get:


+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2%2C%281%2F2%29x-2%29+ Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2F2(red) and y=%281%2F2%29x-2(green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect. So there are no solutions and the system is inconsistent.

Solved by pluggable solver: Solving a linear system of equations by subsitution


Lets start with the given system of linear equations

-3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9
5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7

Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to choose y.

Solve for y for the first equation

6%2Ay=9%2B3%2AxAdd 3%2Ax to both sides

y=%289%2B3%2Ax%29%2F6 Divide both sides by 6.


Which breaks down and reduces to



y=3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax Now we've fully isolated y

Since y equals 3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax we can substitute the expression 3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax into y of the 2nd equation. This will eliminate y so we can solve for x.


5%2Ax%2B-2%2Ahighlight%28%283%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax%29%29=-7 Replace y with 3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax. Since this eliminates y, we can now solve for x.

5%2Ax-2%2A%283%2F2%29-2%281%2F2%29x=-7 Distribute -2 to 3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2Ax

5%2Ax-6%2F2-%282%2F2%29%2Ax=-7 Multiply



5%2Ax-3-1%2Ax=-7 Reduce any fractions

5%2Ax-1%2Ax=-7%2B3Add 3 to both sides


5%2Ax-1%2Ax=-4 Combine the terms on the right side



4%2Ax=-4 Now combine the terms on the left side.


cross%28%281%2F4%29%284%2F1%29%29x=%28-4%2F1%29%281%2F4%29 Multiply both sides by 1%2F4. This will cancel out 4%2F1 and isolate x

So when we multiply -4%2F1 and 1%2F4 (and simplify) we get



x=-1 <---------------------------------One answer

Now that we know that x=-1, lets substitute that in for x to solve for y

5%28-1%29-2%2Ay=-7 Plug in x=-1 into the 2nd equation

-5-2%2Ay=-7 Multiply

-2%2Ay=-7%2B5Add 5 to both sides

-2%2Ay=-2 Combine the terms on the right side

cross%28%281%2F-2%29%28-2%29%29%2Ay=%28-2%2F1%29%281%2F-2%29 Multiply both sides by 1%2F-2. This will cancel out -2 on the left side.

y=-2%2F-2 Multiply the terms on the right side


y=1 Reduce


So this is the other answer


y=1<---------------------------------Other answer


So our solution is

x=-1 and y=1

which can also look like

(-1,1)

Notice if we graph the equations (if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)

-3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9
5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7

we get


graph of -3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9 (red) and 5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7 (green) (hint: you may have to solve for y to graph these) intersecting at the blue circle.


and we can see that the two equations intersect at (-1,1). This verifies our answer.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check:

Plug in (-1,1) into the system of equations


Let x=-1 and y=1. Now plug those values into the equation -3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9

-3%2A%28-1%29%2B6%2A%281%29=9 Plug in x=-1 and y=1


3%2B6=9 Multiply


9=9 Add


9=9 Reduce. Since this equation is true the solution works.


So the solution (-1,1) satisfies -3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9



Let x=-1 and y=1. Now plug those values into the equation 5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7

5%2A%28-1%29-2%2A%281%29=-7 Plug in x=-1 and y=1


-5-2=-7 Multiply


-7=-7 Add


-7=-7 Reduce. Since this equation is true the solution works.


So the solution (-1,1) satisfies 5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7


Since the solution (-1,1) satisfies the system of equations


-3%2Ax%2B6%2Ay=9
5%2Ax-2%2Ay=-7


this verifies our answer.

Use a protractor and a straightedge to draw a triangle that has a right angle and a 30 degree angle. Then measure the shortest and longest sides of the triangle to the nearest millimeter. What is the relationship of the two measurements.
1.
first draw a line segment and mark one point with C where you will have the vertex of 90° angle, you can use your protractor to draw this line, as the protractor includes a straight edge

2.
align the the guide markings on the protractor so that the line is at the 0-degree mark.

3.
make a mark by the 90° point on the protractor using a pen or pencil
4.
move the protractor so that the straight edge connects the vertex point and the mark you made at 90 degrees, use a straight edge of the protractor and connect the two points
5.
ones you got 90° , use one leg of the angle set a point B (the vertex point of 30° angle)to any convenient width, align the the guide markings on the protractor so that the line is at the 0-degree mark at B
6.
make a mark by the 30° point on the protractor
7.
use a straight edge of the protractor, aline point B and mark of the 30° point and draw a line from B through mark of the 30° point and continue until line intersect leg of the angle of 90° and you will get your right angle triangle
since one angle is 90° and another one is 30° , means that third angle is 60°
so, you will have 30° - 60° - 90° right triangle which and the ratio of this triangle's longest side to its shortest side is "two to one" which means, the longest side is twice as long as the shortest side

Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or 1.66666666666667%2A3+%2Bb+=+-5. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=0-1.66666666666667%2A3+=+-5.

The volume of a box is V=L%2AW%2Ah where L=length, W=width and h=height
given:
the volume of a box is V=1755ft%5E3
the width of the box is highlight%28W=9ft%29,
and it's height h is 2ft more than it's length L; so, h=L%2B2

to find: the height of the box h
start with V=L%2AW%2Ah...plug in given values

1755=a%2A9%2A%28a%2B2%29
1755=9ft%2A%28a%5E2%2B2a%29
1755=9a%5E2%2B18a
0=9a%5E2%2B18a-1755.......use quadratic formula

L+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

L+=+%28-18%2B-+sqrt%28+18%5E2-4%2A9%2A%28-1755+%29%29%29%2F%282%2A9%29+

L+=+%28-18%2B-+sqrt%28+324%2B63180%29%29%2F18+

L+=+%28-18%2B-+sqrt%28+63504%29%29%2F18+

L+=+%28-18%2B-+252%29%2F18+

L+=+%28-18%2B+252%29%2F18+..we will find only positive solution because the length could be only positive number
L+=+%28-18%2B+252%29%2F18+

L+=+234%2F18

highlight%28L+=+13ft%29
now we can find the height h
h=L%2B2ft
h=13ft%2B2ft
highlight%28h=15ft%29

Answer 432544 by MathLover1(6634) About Me  on 2013-01-13 20:26:28 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

A 30-60-90 triangle is a right triangle whose internal angles are 30,+60 and 90+degrees.
The three sides of a 30-60-90 triangle have the following characteristics:
All three sides have different lengths.
The shorter leg,+b, is half the length of the hypotenuse, c. That is,
b=c%2F2
The longer leg's length, a, is the shorter leg times sqrt%283%29. That is,
a=b+%2Asqrt%283%29
so, you are given c=33
then, you have the shorter leg +b=c%2F2...=>...+b=33%2F2...=>...+b=16.5
and the longer leg's length is a=b%2Asqrt%283%29..=>...+a=16.5%2A1.7321...=>...+a=28.545
check result using Pythagorean theorem:
c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2
33%5E2=28.58%5E2%2B16.5%5E2
1089=816.8164%2B272.25
1089=1089.0664...round decimal to whole number
1089=1089

you are given:
f%28x%29=2 if -infinity%3Cx%3C=-2
f%28x%29=%281%2F2%29x%2B3 if -2%3Cx%3C=1
f%28x%29=-%287%2F8%29x%2B35%2F8 if 1%3Cx%3Cinfinity

f%28x%29=2 this is a line parallel to x-axis and has y-intercept at (0,2)
since you are given that -infinity%3Cx%3C=-2 you can find one more point choosing x less than -2 and draw that line all way from certain value of -x to x=-2 than stop; that will be at point (-2,2
take second line and choose two values for x so that -2%3Cx%3C=1
since this line is connected to the first line, use the point (-2,2
and find one more point using x=1
f%28x%29=%281%2F2%29%2A1%2B3
f%28x%29=%281%2F2%29%2B3
f%28x%29=3.5
the second point is (1,3.5)
plot these points and connect them with a line segment

third part is f%28x%29=-%287%2F8%29x%2B35%2F8 or f%28x%29=-0.875x%2B4.375 if 1%3Cx%3Cinfinity
here you start with a point (1,3.5) last one you got and find one more point using any x%3E1
let x=10
f%28x%29=-0.875%2A30%2B4.375
f%28x%29=-26.25%2B4.375
f%28x%29=-21.875
the point is (30,-21.875)
plot this point and draw a line from a point (1,3.5) and passes through (30,-21.875)


+graph%28+600%2C600%2C+-15%2C+15%2C+-15%2C+15%2C+2%2C+%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2C-0.875x%2B4.375%29+

from this graph where you see all three lines you need to take parts: from a line f%28x%29=2 (red) draw part all way from the left to the point (-2,2),
then got to second line f%28x%29=%281%2F2%29x%2B3 (green) and draw a line segment which connects points (-2,2) and (1,3.5),
then go to third line f%28x%29=-%287%2F8%29x%2B35%2F8 (blue) and draw from the point (1,3.5) all way down to the right
that will be your solution, the piecewise function

test/701443: How do you find the number of possible x-intercepts and the number of changes in direction?

Answer 432419 by MathLover1(6634) About Me  on 2013-01-13 09:54:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x-intercepts of a polynomial are where the polynomial intersects the x-axis on the real coordinate plane. Mathematically speaking, these x-intercepts only occur when y is equal to 0.
Polynomials can have multiple+x-intercepts because of the way they curve. The number of x-intercepts a certain polynomial can have is the degree of the polynomial.
A first+degree polynomial can only have one+x-intercept. A fourth degree can have up to four, but it doesn't have to have four. For even degree polynomials, it is possible that there are no x-intercepts.
Odd degree polynomials must have at+least+one+x-intercept.
The x-intercepts are key to graphing a polynomial. They are points that you can connect that lie on the x-axis. These x-intercepts are also known as solutions to the polynomial.
So, how do we find these x-intercepts? Simply, these points are where y+=+0. So, you simply solve the polynomial for+x when y or f%28x%29 is 0.

Usually, x-intercepts cross the x-axis straight through. However, there is more than one way that the polynomial can intercept the x-axis. There are actually three+total+ways that the graph intercepts the x-axis. In the first, it passes straight through no problem. In the second, it goes down and touches the x-axis and then rebounds off it. In the third, the graph sort of lingers around the interception point before crossing.
Why are there three types of intercepts? This is governed by a mathematical thing called multiplicity. Multiplicity is the number of times a particular x-intercept or solution appears. What if you ended up with the same x-intercept twice? That means that that particular x-intercept has a multiplicity of+2. It occurs twice, and it therefore has a multiplicity of 2. An x-intercept that occurs+3 times has a multiplicity of 3.
Let us look at the following example:
y=%28x-1%29%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B2%29
We could commence the normal procedure for finding x-intercepts by setting the y equal to zero and solving. However, we end up with 0=x%2B2 twice, which means we get the intercept, (-2,0), twice. The x-intercept, (-2,0) has a multiplicity of 2.

+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%28x-1%29%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B2%29%29+

here are three cases how graph might cross x-axis
1. Normally, an x-intercept has a multiplicity of one, or it only+occurs+once. When this happens, the graph simply passes straight through the x-axis. It occurs once, so it passes through and continues along with the normal path that it takes.
2. If the intercept has an even multiplicity, meaning it occurs twice, four times, eight times, etc., then the graph appears to touch the x-axis and then bounces off in the same direction it came from. The graph never passes through the x-axis, it simply touches it and goes back. As multiplicity increases, the valley will become flatter and flatter.
3.If the x-intercept has an odd multiplicity, meaning it occurs+three+times, five times, etc., then the graph kind of lingers around the interception point before passing through. The graph does actually pass through, but it is sort of delayed before actually passing through, like in the image. As multiplicity increases, the deflection becomes closer and closer to the x-axis.

The graph of a polynomials of degree 0, y+=+c for some constant c+ is a horizontal line or x=c is a vertical line . It has no turning points and its tails are flat.
The graph of a polynomial of degree 1, +y+=+ax+%2B+b+,with a+%3E+0 or a+%3C+0 is a slant line with one+x-intercept,+no turning points, and tails in opposite direction.
The graph of a polynomial of degree 2. y+=+ax%5E2+%2B+bx+%2B+c with a%3C%3E+0 (leading coefficient) is a parabola that opens up if a+%3E+0 and down if a+%3C+0. The graph has one turning point. It can have 0, 1, or 2, those that are obtained by shifts, stretching or shrinking and reflections in the x negative (or y negative) axis from y+=+x%5E3. The function that is not shifted, like y+=+ax%5E3, have graphs with tails in opposite directions, one x-intercept 0 and no turning points. They are increasing if a+%3E+0 and decreasing if a+%3C+0.

-relative maximum or relative minimum are values where the curve changes+direction

three geometric means between 8 and 40.5:
40.5+=+8r%5E4
40.5%2F8+=+r%5E4
5.0625+=+r%5E4
r=root%284%2C5.0625%29
r=1.5+


r=1.5 is the ratio, so you multiply 8 by 1.5 (which equals 12), giving you the first of the three geometric means, multiply 12 by 1.5 (which equals 18) to get the second of the three geometric means, and multiply 18 by 1.5 (which equals 27) to get the third of the three geometric means
Final answer: 12,18, 27

Multiplying 27 by 1.5 gives you 40.5, so it is correct.

two geometric means between 7 and 15.379:

an=a1%28r%29%5En-1
a4=7%28r%29%5E4-1
15.379=7%28r%29%5E3
15.379%2F7=r%5E3
2.197=r%5E3
r=root%283%2C2.197%29
r=1.3

r=1.3 is the ratio, so you multiply 7 by 1.3 (which equals 9.1), giving you the first of the two geometric means, and multiply 9.1 by 1.3 (which equals 11.83) to get the second of the two geometric means

Final answer: 9.1,11.83

Multiplying 11.83 by 1.3 gives you 15.379, so it is correct.

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/701292: Factor the trinomial. 4x^2-56x-92
I'm having problems figuring out this problem. The only numbers I can find that go into 92 are 4 and 23 but when I plug that in:
4x(-23)+4x= -92x+4x=-88x. So it's not equaling -56x. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

4x%5E2-56x-92..... write -92 as 196-288

4x%5E2-56x%2B196-288....group first three terms together
%284x%5E2-56x%2B196%29-288....factor out 4
4%28x%5E2-14x%2B49%29-288....note that x%5E2-14x%2B49=%28x-7%29%5E2
4%28x-7%29%5E2-288
