Functions/333879: find the domain of the function g(x)=4/9-4x 1 solutions Answer 239226 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2010-08-22 16:19:50 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given function Set the denominator equal to zero. Remember, dividing by 0 is undefined. So if we find values of x that make the denominator zero, then we must exclude them from the domain. Subtract 9 from both sides Combine like terms on the right side Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x Reduce Since makes the denominator equal to zero, this means we must exclude from our domain So our domain is: which in plain English reads: x is the set of all real numbers except x CANNOT equal So our domain looks like this in interval notation note: remember, the parenthesis excludes 9/4 from the domain If we wanted to graph the domain on a number line, we would get: Graph of the domain in blue and the excluded value represented by open circle Notice we have a continuous line until we get to the hole at (which is represented by the open circle). This graphically represents our domain in which x can be any number except x cannot equal 9/4

test/333873: Hi I need some help with solving this story problem I can work it up to the end but I am not sure where to go from there, but here it is. A launced rocket has an altitude, in meters, given by the polynomial h+xt-4.9t^2, where h is the height, in meters, from which the launch occurs, at velocity v in meters per second, and t is the number of seconds from which the rocket is airborne. If a rocket is launched from the top of a tower 60 meters high with an inital upward speed of 40 meters per second, what will its height be after 2 seconds. I know the altitude h+vt - 4.9t^2 = 60 + vt - 4.9t^2 = 60 + 40t - 4.9t^2 = 60 + 40(2) - 4.9 (2)^2 60 + 40(2)-4.9(2)^2 = this is where I am not sure what to multiply add or subtract.

Average/333862: Algebra 2 test problem : a student scores on 5 test are 93%, 89%, 72%, 80% and 96% what must the student score on the 6th test so that the average is 88% . I need the formula, I have the answer.. Thank u....;) 1 solutions Answer 239216 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2010-08-22 15:26:07 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert each percentage to decimal form to get 0.93, 0.89, 0.72, 0.80, and 0.96 Now let x = score on 6th test So to find the average of the 6 tests, simply add them up and divide by 6 like so: Now set that equal to the given average of 0.88 (88% in decimal form) to get Start with the given equation. Multiply both sides by 6. Multiply 0.88 and 6 to get 5.28 Combine like terms. Subtract 4.3 from both sides. Combine like terms. So the score on the 6th test must be a 98% (multiply 0.98 by 100 to convert it to a percentage) to get an average score of 88%

Average/333860: If susan can pain a house in four hours, John can pain a house in six hours, and Peter can paint a house in ten hours. How long will it take if all of them painted the house together? I tried averaging the numbers togther and then dividing it by three and sometimes its right and sometimes its wrong. Can you help? 1 solutions Answer 239213 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2010-08-22 15:17:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! "If susan can pain a house in four hours", then she can paint of a house in 1 hour. So her rate is houses per hour. If "John can pain a house in six hours", then he can paint of a house in 1 hour. So his rate is houses per hour. Finally, if "Peter can paint a house in ten hours", then he can paint of a house in one hour, making his rate houses per hour. So the three rates are: , and houses per hour. Add them up to get So their combined rate is houses per hour. In other words, together they can paint of a house in one hour (which is close to 1/2 of a house). Now multiply this rate by some unknown time 't' to get and set that equal to 1 (since we want to paint one house) to get Next, multiply both sides by 60 to get and then divide both sides by 31 to isolate t to get So it will take them about 1.935 hours, or close to 2 hours, if they work together.

Rectangles/333855: Find the perimeter of a square whose area is 144 inches square? 1 solutions Answer 239206 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2010-08-22 15:04:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the area of a square formula. Take the square root of both sides (note: we're only taking the positive square root since a negative length doesn't make sense). Flip the equation. Plug in (the given area). Take the square root of to get . So if a square has an area of square inches, then it has a side length of inches. -------------------------------------------------- Now move onto the perimeter of a square formula. Plug in . Multiply and to get . So the perimeter of a square with a side length of inches is inches. This means that if a square has an area of 144 square inches, this means that has a perimeter of 48 inches.

Distributive-associative-commutative-properties/333713: Factor. 12x^2+xy-6y^2 1 solutions Answer 239141 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2010-08-21 23:50:37 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last coefficient is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last coefficient to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-9,-12,-18,-24,-36,-72 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-72) = -72 2*(-36) = -72 3*(-24) = -72 4*(-18) = -72 6*(-12) = -72 8*(-9) = -72 (-1)*(72) = -72 (-2)*(36) = -72 (-3)*(24) = -72 (-4)*(18) = -72 (-6)*(12) = -72 (-8)*(9) = -72 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 -72 1+(-72)=-71 2 -36 2+(-36)=-34 3 -24 3+(-24)=-21 4 -18 4+(-18)=-14 6 -12 6+(-12)=-6 8 -9 8+(-9)=-1 -1 72 -1+72=71 -2 36 -2+36=34 -3 24 -3+24=21 -4 18 -4+18=14 -6 12 -6+12=6 -8 9 -8+9=1 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).
