Answer 145054 by jim_thompson5910(28550) on 2009-04-26 18:33:27 (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  :
1,2,4,8
-1,-2,-4,-8
Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.
These factors pair up and multiply to  .
1*(-8)
2*(-4)
(-1)*(8)
(-2)*(4)
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 | -8 | 1+(-8)=-7 | | 2 | -4 | 2+(-4)=-2 | | -1 | 8 | -1+8=7 | | -2 | 4 | -2+4=2 |
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.

Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is  note:  really looks like
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 1 and the run is 5. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 5
So starting at ) , go up 1 unit
and to the right 5 units 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

 ... Derive the left and right sides. Note: remember, y is a function of "x", so use the chain rule.
 ... Subtract 2x from both sides.
 ... Divide both sides by 2y.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Here's some terminology:
Vertex: A point representing a location (city, town, etc...). In general, what the vertex represents isn't important.
Edge: A line connecting two vertices (plural for vertex)
Odd Vertex: A vertex with an odd number of edges connecting to it
Even Vertex: A vertex with an even number of edges connecting to it
So here's one way to draw the graph:
Take note that...
Vertex A: even vertex with 2 edges connecting to it
Vertex B: odd vertex with 3 edges connecting to it
Vertex C: even vertex with 2 edges connecting to it
Vertex D: odd vertex with 3 edges connecting to it

You can put this solution on YOUR website!First, we need to find the length of diagonal:
If we cut the garden in half along the diagonal, we'll have this triangle set up (where "x" is the length of the diagonal):
Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is  where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.
Since the legs are  and  this means that  and
Also, since the hypotenuse is  , this means that  .
 Start with the Pythagorean theorem.

 Take the square root of both sides. Note: only the positive square root is considered (since a negative length doesn't make sense).
 Take the square root of 900 to get 30.
So the diagonal is 30 meters long.
Now just multiply the length of the diagonal by the cost per linear meter to get:
So it will cost $360 to build the diagonal walkway.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, let's draw a picture:
We can see that a triangle forms where the legs are "x" and 32 ft with a hypotenuse of 80 ft. To find the unknown length of the leg "x", we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem
Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is  where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.
Since the legs are  and  this means that  and
Also, since the hypotenuse is  , this means that  .
 Start with the Pythagorean theorem.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
 Start with the given expression
 Factor out the GCF
Now let's focus on the inner expression
------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at  we can see that the first term is  and the last term is  where the coefficients are 5 and -11 respectively.
Now multiply the first coefficient 5 and the last coefficient -11 to get -55. Now what two numbers multiply to -55 and add to the middle coefficient -6? Let's list all of the factors of -55:
Factors of -55:
1,5,11,55
-1,-5,-11,-55 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations
These factors pair up and multiply to -55
(1)*(-55)
(5)*(-11)
(-1)*(55)
(-5)*(11)
note: remember, the product of a negative and a positive number is a negative number
Now which of these pairs add to -6? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -6
| First Number | Second Number | Sum | | 1 | -55 | 1+(-55)=-54 | | 5 | -11 | 5+(-11)=-6 | | -1 | 55 | -1+55=54 | | -5 | 11 | -5+11=6 |
From this list we can see that 5 and -11 add up to -6 and multiply to -55
Now looking at the expression  , replace  with  (notice  adds up to  . So it is equivalent to  )
Now let's factor  by grouping:
 Group like terms
 Factor out the GCF of  out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of  out of the second group
 Since we have a common term of  , we can combine like terms
So  factors to
So this also means that  factors to  (since  is equivalent to  )
------------------------------------------------------------
So our expression goes from  and factors further to

Answer 144944 by jim_thompson5910(28550) on 2009-04-25 18:49:36 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the compound interest formula
 Plug in  ,  (this is the decimal form of 5.5% interest), and
 Divide. Note: this value is approximate. So all future calculations will be approximate.
 Add
 Divide both sides by  to isolate "P".
 Rearrange the equation
Now simply plug in the given values of "t" to find P:
t=1:
 Start with the given equation.
 Plug in
 Multiply
 Raise 1.0001507 to the 365th power to get 1.0565420
 Divide
So if you want to have $150,000 in the account in 1 year, you need to invest about $141,972.59 in the account.
I'll let you do the other value of t (it will follow the same procedure).

To factor  , we can use synthetic division
First, let's find our test zero:
 Set the given factor  equal to zero
 Solve for x.
so our test zero is -5
Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of  to the right of the test zero.
Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 6)
Multiply -5 by 6 and place the product (which is -30) right underneath the second coefficient (which is 31)
Add -30 and 31 to get 1. Place the sum right underneath -30.
Multiply -5 by 1 and place the product (which is -5) right underneath the third coefficient (which is 4)
Add -5 and 4 to get -1. Place the sum right underneath -5.
Multiply -5 by -1 and place the product (which is 5) right underneath the fourth coefficient (which is -5)
Add 5 and -5 to get 0. Place the sum right underneath 5.
Since the last column adds to zero, we have a remainder of zero. This means  is a factor of

b) The sales representative later indicates that there are 3 times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write an equation that illustrates this situation. Use the same variables you used in part a.
c) Use the equations from part a and b of this exercise as a system of equations. Use substitution to determine how many of each type of floor plan is available. Describe the steps you used to solve the problem.
d) What are the intercepts of the equation from part a of this problem? What are the intercepts from part b of this problem? Where would the lines intersect if you solved the system by graphing?
