Start with the given inequality. Distribute. Subtract from both sides. Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms on the left side. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. Reduce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: So the answer is
 Graphs/185898: y is greater than or equal to x squared. how would you graph this? 1 solutions Answer 139404 by jim_thompson5910(28478)   on 2009-03-09 18:29:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!First, graph the equation (this curve will serve as the boundary) Note: since there is an '=' sign in the inequality, this means that the boundary is a solid line Graph of Now pick a point that is NOT on the curve of . Let's pick the point (0,1). This means that we have the values and . Now plug them into the inequality: Go back to the inequality Plug in and Square 0 to get 0 Since this inequality is true, this means that we shade the ENTIRE region that this point lies in. So just shade the region above the graph to get the following: Graph of where the red line is the boundary equation (solid line) with the shaded region in green.
 Conjunction/185877: Write the following compound statement in symbolic form Let p: Today is Monday q: Tomorrow is the day Sara leaves If tomorrow is not the day Sara leaves, then today is Monday 1 solutions Answer 139403 by jim_thompson5910(28478)   on 2009-03-09 18:20:19 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Note: the symbol is used for "not" and is used for "if...then..." So "If tomorrow is not the day Sara leaves, then today is Monday " translates to "If NOT Q, then P" where NOT Q translates to . Afterwards, the entire expression translates to So "If tomorrow is not the day Sara leaves, then today is Monday " completely translates to
 Rectangles/185858: If i have the shortest side of a rectangle to be 8 how do i get the other three sides?1 solutions Answer 139384 by jim_thompson5910(28478)   on 2009-03-09 16:12:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Well one of the three sides will be of the same length as the shortest side. So you'll have two sides that are 8 units in length. To find the other 2 sides (which are both equal to each other), you're going to need either the area of the rectangle or the perimeter of the rectangle.

 logarithm/185731: a=p(1+r/n)^nt 5000=250(1+r/4)^40 ? I don't know where to go from here.1 solutions Answer 139379 by jim_thompson5910(28478)   on 2009-03-09 15:54:41 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that you want to solve for "r" right? If so, then I'll start where you left off. Start with the given equation Divide both sides by 250 Reduce Take the 40th root of both sides (this is probably where you got stuck) Evaluate the 40th root of 20 to get roughly 1.0778 Subtract 1 from both sides. Subtract Multiply both sides by 4 to isolate "r" Multiply So the answer is which means that the interest rate is 31.12% (just multiply by 100 to get a percentage)

Start with the given expression Set "y" equal to the expression Use the property to rewrite the equation. Now the question is: what value of "y" will make equal to -1? Since there is NO value of "y" that will make negative (because is ALWAYS positive), this means that there are no solutions to This in turn means that you CANNOT take the log of a negative number (or zero). So that's why is undefined In fact, is undefined where and -------------------------------------- Start with the given expression Use the change of base formula to rewrite the expression. Evaluate the log of 1 to get 0. Now remember, division by zero is undefined. So we cannot go further. So this shows us that is undefined.

Answer 139314 by jim_thompson5910(28478)   on 2009-03-08 22:27:26 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let P = today is Monday and Q = today is Wednesday

Now translate:

a) "If today is Monday, then tomorrow is not Wednesday" translates to "If P then Q" which symbolically looks like

Now fill out a truth table:

 P Q T T F F T F T T F T F T F F T T

Note: let me know if you need help constructing a truth table

The truth values in red are the values we're going to compare later.

b) "If it is false that today is Monday and tomorrow is not Wednesday" translates to "It is NOT the case that P and not Q are true".
In symbolic form, the expression looks like:

Now fill out a truth table:

 P Q T T F F T T F T T F F T F F T F F T F T

c)
"Today is not Monday or tomorrow is Wednesday" translates to "Not P or Q" which looks like

Now make a truth table
 P Q T T F T T F F F F T T T F F T T

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Now comparing the truth values that are marked in red from parts a) to c), we see that the red truth values in tables b) and c) are identical. So this means that statements b) and c) are equivalent.

Start with the given equation. Subtract from both sides. Rearrange the terms. Divide both sides by to isolate y. Break up the fraction. Reduce. 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 -2 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 3 So starting at , go down 2 units and to the right 3 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

Why is this a horizontal line? Since "x" is nowhere to be found, this means that no matter what "x" is y will ALWAYS be equal to 60. So you'll have points like (0,60), (-2,60), (-10,60), (44,60), etc...

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 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 1 So starting at , go up 1 unit 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

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 :
1,2,3,6
-1,-2,-3,-6

Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.

These factors pair up and multiply to .
1*6
2*3
(-1)*(-6)
(-2)*(-3)

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient :

First NumberSecond NumberSum
161+6=7
232+3=5
-1-6-1+(-6)=-7
-2-3-2+(-3)=-5

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

So factors to .

So and are factors of

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 :
1,2,3,4,6,12
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12

Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.

These factors pair up and multiply to .
1*(-12)
2*(-6)
3*(-4)
(-1)*(12)
(-2)*(6)
(-3)*(4)

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient :

First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-121+(-12)=-11
2-62+(-6)=-4
3-43+(-4)=-1
-112-1+12=11
-26-2+6=4
-34-3+4=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 .
