Equations/61216: Could ssomeone please explain how to work this problem?
Find the slope and y intercept by writing the equation in slope intercept form then graph the equation. 3x+y=-2 1 solutions
Answer 42156 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 22:24:24 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!3X+Y=-2
Y=-3X-2 THIS IS A LINE WITH A SLOPE OF -3 & A Y INTERCEPT OF (0,-2)
SETTING Y=0 WE CAN THEN FIND THE X INTERCEPT FOR A SECOND POINT TO PLOT THE LINE
0=-3X-2
-3X=2
X=2/-3
X=-2/3 OR (-2/3,0) IS A SECOND POINT ON THE LINE.

Travel_Word_Problems/61278: A northbound train left at noon. Two hours later, a southbound train left the same station. At 6:00 p.m., the two trains were 490 miles apart. Find the rate of each train if the northbound train traveled 15 miles per hour faster than the southbound train. 1 solutions
Answer 42153 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 22:14:45 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!490=(R-15)*6+R*4
490=6R-90+4R
490=10R-90
10R=490+90
10R=580
R=580/10
R=58 MPH FOR 4 HOURS FOR THE SOUTH BOUND TRAIN
THUS THE NORTH BOUND TRAIN WAS TRAVELING
58-15=43 MPH FOR 6 HOURS
PROOF
490=43*6+58*4
490=258+232
490=490

Answer 42146 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 21:49:43 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!AREA OF THE WINDOW IS S^2
THE AREA OF THE SEMI CIRCLE ABOVE IT HAS AN AREA OF PI*R^2/2 WHERE THE R=S/2
THUS WE HAVE S^2+(PI*S/2)/2 FOR THE ENTIRE AREA

Numbers_Word_Problems/61168: the sum of two integers, a and b (a>b). the smaller minus the larger is -746. find the value of the integers a and b. 1 solutions
Answer 42130 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 18:12:37 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!IF YOU'VE DEFINED THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. THERE ARE MANY SOLUTIONS THUS:
A>B THEN B IS THE SMALLER NUMBER &
B-A=-746 THEN IF B=1 THEN
1-A=-746
-A=-746-1
A=747
SETTING B=242 WE GET
242-A=-746
-A=-746-242
A=988

Answer 42124 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 17:52:34 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!-4/6Z+2=30
-4/6Z=30-2
-4/6Z=28 CROSS MULTIPLYING WE GET
-4Z=28*6
-4Z=168
Z=168/-4
Z=-42
PROOF
(-4/6)-42+2=30
(-4*-42)/6+2=30
168/6+2=30
28+2=30

Linear-equations/61212: Could someone help me figure out this problem?
Find the x and y intercepts and graph the equation.
x-4y=-8 1 solutions
Answer 42123 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 17:48:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Y=mX+b IS THE LINE FORMULA
-4Y=-X-8 OR
Y=X+8 THUS THE Y INTERCEPT (b) IS=8 AND THE SLOPE IS (+1).
NOW SUBSTITUTING 0 FOR Y WE GET THE X INTERCEPT THUS
0=X+8
X=-8 THUS WE HAVE 2 POINTS (-8,0)(0,8) AND A SLOPE OF +1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!(Y-2)/(Y+3)-Y/(2Y+6) FINDING THE COMMON DENOMINATOR WE GET
[(Y-2)(2Y+6)-Y(Y+3)]/(Y+3)(2Y+6) NOW MULTIPLY
(2Y^2-4Y+6Y-12-Y^2-3Y)/(2Y^2+6Y+6Y+18)
(Y^2-Y-12)/(2Y^2+12Y+18)
(Y-4)(Y+3)/(2Y+6)(Y+3) NOW CANCEL OUT THE (Y+3) COMMON FACTORS & WE ARE LEFT WITH
(Y-4)/(2Y+6) OR (Y-4)/2(Y+3)

-Thanks 1 solutions
Answer 42120 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 17:31:34 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!FIRST WE FIND THE SLOPE USING THE TWO POINTAS GIVEN (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
(15-7)/(-2-6)
8/-8=-1 FOR THE SLOPE
NOW REPLACING Y+X IN THE LINE FORMULA (Y=mX+b) WITH -1 FOR (m) & WITH ONE SET OF THE COORDINATES WE GET
6=-7+b AND SOLVE FOR b (THE Y INTERCEPT)
6+7=b
b=13
THIS GIVE US THE EQUATION Y=-X+13 FOR THIS LINE WITH A SLOPE OF (-1)& A Y INTERCEPTOF (13)

WHAT YOU MAY NEED IS TO GRAPH THESE TYPEOFPROBLEMS USING GRAPH PAPER.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY JUST GO TO ANY STAPLES OR STORE THAT SELLS PAPER PRODUCTS AND GET A PAD OF GRAPH PAPER. DRAW THE X (VERTICLE LINE) & Y (HORIZONTAL) LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. THEN LABEL THE MANY UNITS TO THE RIGHT OF THE LINE INTERSECTION PLUS X (+X) VALUES, UNITS TO THE LEFT AS MINUS X (-X) VALUES, THEN LABEL THE UNITS ABOVE THE INTERSECTION PLUS Y (+Y)VALUES AND THE UNITS BELOW THE INTERSECTION MINUS Y (-Y)VALUES.

Travel_Word_Problems/61204: A small aircraft flies a 2160-mi round trip in a 45 mi/h wind. Find the average rate of speed for the trip if the aircraft can fly 225 mi/h with no wind.
I was just confused because, to me, this problem doesnt seem like it has enough information to put in a R | T | D box. Thanks for your help. 1 solutions
Answer 42118 by checkley71(8403) on 2006-11-13 17:20:52 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!BECAUSE IT IS A ROUND TRIP THE AVERAGE FLIGHT TIME WITH THE WIND IS
(225+45) & against the wind the speed is (225-45).
now the first 1/2 of the trip is 1080 miles we get
(225+45)t=1080
270T=1080
T=1080/270
T=4 HOURS FOR THE FIRST 1/2 OF THE TRIP
(225-45)T=1080
180T=1080
T=1080/180
T=6 HOURS FOR THE SECOND 1/2 OF THE TRIP.
TOTALTIME IS 4+6=10HOURS
TOTAL DISTANCE IS 2160 AND THE TIME IS 10 HOURS THEN
2160=10R
R=2160/10
R=216 MPH IS THE AVERAGE SPEED FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP.
