Angles/698467: find measurement of angle A(6x+7) and m of angle B(3x+20) if angle A and angle B are complementary 1 solutions
Answer 430691 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-04 18:06:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!angle A and angle B are complementary
m angle A + m angle B = 90
6x+7 + 3x+20 = 90
9x+27=90
9x=90-27
9x=63
x=(63)/(9)
x=7
Angle A: 6x+7 = 6(7)+7 = 49 degrees
Angle B: 3x+20 = 3(7)+20 = 41 degrees

Money_Word_Problems/698457: Jerome paid $85 for a calculator. He had no one-dollar bills or coins. How many ways could he have paid if he had no bills more than $20? 1 solutions
Answer 430678 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-04 17:02:10 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!There are 25 ways to do this
1 five + 4 twenties = 5 bills total
1 five + 2 tens + 3 twenties = 6 bills total
1 five + 4 tens + 2 twenties = 7 bills total
3 fives + 1 ten + 3 twenties = 7 bills total
1 five + 6 tens + 1 twenty = 8 bills total
3 fives + 3 tens + 2 twenties = 8 bills total
5 fives + 3 twenties = 8 bills total
1 five + 8 tens = 9 bills total
3 fives + 5 tens + 1 twenty = 9 bills total
5 fives + 2 tens + 2 twenties = 9 bills total
3 fives + 7 tens = 10 bills total
5 fives + 4 tens + 1 twenty = 10 bills total
7 fives + 1 ten + 2 twenties = 10 bills total
5 fives + 6 tens = 11 bills total
7 fives + 3 tens + 1 twenty = 11 bills total
9 fives + 2 twenties = 11 bills total
7 fives + 5 tens = 12 bills total
9 fives + 2 tens + 1 twenty = 12 bills total
9 fives + 4 tens = 13 bills total
11 fives + 1 ten + 1 twenty = 13 bills total
11 fives + 3 tens = 14 bills total
13 fives + 1 twenty = 14 bills total
13 fives + 2 tens = 15 bills total
15 fives + 1 ten = 16 bills total
17 fives = 17 bills total
Again, there are 25 ways. Each case has the bills' value adding up to $85.

Coordinate-system/698439: Name two points on the x-axis that are 10 units from (1, 8) 1 solutions
Answer 430651 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-04 15:12:16 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Equation of the circle centered at (1,8) that has a radius of 10: (x-1)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 100
You plug in y = 0 and solve for x
(x-1)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 100
(x-1)^2 + (0-8)^2 = 100
(x-1)^2 + (-8)^2 = 100
(x-1)^2 + 64 = 100
(x-1)^2 = 100-64
(x-1)^2 = 36
x-1 = sqrt(36) or x-1 = -sqrt(36)
x-1 = 6 or x-1 = -6
x = 6+1 or x = -6+1
x = 7 or x = -5
So the two points are (7, 0) and (-5, 0)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!4u^2 - 1
factors to
(2u + 1)(2u - 1)
using the difference of squares rule
The second term "(2u - 1)" cancels with the last term "(2u - 1)" on the very right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
u^3 - 16u
factors to
u(u^2 - 16)
which further factors to
u(u-4)(u+4)
using the difference of squares rule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
u^2 + 4u
factors to
u(u + 4)
Notice the last two final factorizations have a 'u' and a 'u+4' in common. They cancel
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
So after all of the factorizations and cancellations, we go from
(4u^2 - 1)/(u^3 - 16u) * (u^2 + 4u)/(2u - 1)
to
((2u - 1)(2u + 1))/(u(u-4)(u+4)) * (u(u+4))/(2u - 1)
which simplifies to
(2u + 1) / (u-4)

Solid line with shading on the side that does not include the origin.
Dashed line with shading on the side that does not include the origin.
Solid line with shading on the side that includes the origin. 1 solutions
Answer 430645 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-04 14:46:24 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The inequality sign does NOT have a line under it. So the line isn't solid, so it must be dashed.
The origin is not in the solution set because if you plug in (0,0) you get
-3x + y > 6
-3(0) + 0 > 6
0 + 0 > 6
0 > 6
Which is false. So that shows why (0,0) is not in the solution set. So the origin is not in the shaded region.
That points us to the answer of choice C

Answer 430644 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-04 14:39:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!If you want to graph, then...
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 1
So starting at ) , go up 3 units
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and

Word_Problems_With_Coins/697933: Bjon has 5 coins with a total value of 50 cents. Not all of the coins are dimes. What are the coins? 1 solutions
Answer 430359 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-02 15:34:09 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!You simply do this by trial and error.
3 nickels + 1 dime + 1 quarter = 5 coins total
Value of 3 nickels: 3*5 = 15 cents
Value of 1 dime: 1*10 = 10 cents
Value of 1 quarter: 1*25 = 25 cents
Total value = 3 nickels + 1 dime + 1 quarter
Total value = 15 cents + 10 cents + 25 cents
Total value = 50 cents
So Bjon has 3 nickels, 1 dime, and 1 quarter.

Quadratic_Equations/697929: how to factor 4x^2-2x+7 1 solutions
Answer 430346 by jim_thompson5910(28715) on 2013-01-02 15:13:44 (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 term is  .
Now multiply the first coefficient  by the last term  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  :
1,2,4,7,14,28
-1,-2,-4,-7,-14,-28
Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.
These factors pair up and multiply to  .
1*28 = 28
2*14 = 28
4*7 = 28
(-1)*(-28) = 28
(-2)*(-14) = 28
(-4)*(-7) = 28
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 | 28 | 1+28=29 | | 2 | 14 | 2+14=16 | | 4 | 7 | 4+7=11 | | -1 | -28 | -1+(-28)=-29 | | -2 | -14 | -2+(-14)=-16 | | -4 | -7 | -4+(-7)=-11 |
From the table, we can see that there are no pairs of numbers which add to  . So  cannot be factored.

Answer:
So doesn't factor at all (over the rational numbers).

You can put this solution on YOUR website!5/3 + 1/5
25/15 + 3/15
(25 + 3)/15
28/15
So 5/3 + 1/5 = 28/15
-------------------------------------------------------
Side Note:
5/3 = 25/15 after you multiply top and bottom by 5
1/5 = 3/15 after you multiply top and bottom by 3
We do this so the denominators are both equal to the LCD 15

test/697813: How do I figure out displacement?
Ashley decides to go for a walk. She walks 5 blocks west, 2 blocks south, 5 blocks east and finally 2 blocks north. What is her total displacement? (Include direction, whether east, west, south, north, or n/a .)
I'm working on homework and I've never learned this before. How would I go about figuring out the displacement? Is there a certain equation to use?
Thank you so much!! 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Draw a picture. Ideally, you'll use a coordinate grid to help you out. Start at any point you like. Then move 5 paces to the left. Move 2 paces down. Then move back 5 paces (you'll be directly under the starting point). Finally, move 2 paces back up. You should have ended up at the same spot you started from. This works no matter where you start. Of course, each 'pace' is the same distance. Use a ruler to make sure this is so.
Since you end up in the same spot you started, your total displacement is 0 blocks. Displacement is how far you have gone if you only compare the starting and ending points. If the two points are different, then you'll have some positive displacement (the direct straight line distance from start to end). If the two points are the same, then the displacement is 0...ie, you haven't gone anywhere.
Since you're second to last destination has you walking 2 blocks north (to get back home), I would say that you're looking north when you finally reach home. So you can say that the displacement is 0 and your direction is north.
