You can simply count the spaces between the two points vertically to get 6 units, but here's the formal method to find the distance:




d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29 Start with the distance formula.


d=sqrt%28%285-5%29%5E2%2B%283--3%29%5E2%29 Plug in x%5B1%5D=5, x%5B2%5D=5, y%5B1%5D=3, and y%5B2%5D=-3.


d=sqrt%28%280%29%5E2%2B%283--3%29%5E2%29 Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.


d=sqrt%28%280%29%5E2%2B%286%29%5E2%29 Subtract -3 from 3 to get 6.


d=sqrt%280%2B%286%29%5E2%29 Square 0 to get 0.


d=sqrt%280%2B36%29 Square 6 to get 36.


d=sqrt%2836%29 Add 0 to 36 to get 36.


d=6 Take the square root of 36 to get 6.


So our answer is d=6


So the distance between the two points is 6 units.

d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29 Start with the distance formula.


d=sqrt%28%283-4%29%5E2%2B%284-5%29%5E2%29 Plug in x%5B1%5D=3, x%5B2%5D=4, y%5B1%5D=4, and y%5B2%5D=5.


d=sqrt%28%28-1%29%5E2%2B%284-5%29%5E2%29 Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.


d=sqrt%28%28-1%29%5E2%2B%28-1%29%5E2%29 Subtract 5 from 4 to get -1.


d=sqrt%281%2B%28-1%29%5E2%29 Square -1 to get 1.


d=sqrt%281%2B1%29 Square -1 to get 1.


d=sqrt%282%29 Add 1 to 1 to get 2.


So our answer is d=sqrt%282%29


Which approximates to d=1.414


So the distance between the two points is approximately 1.414 units.

Answer 129124 by jim_thompson5910(28593) About Me  on 2008-12-20 18:55:59 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

abs%28x%2B142%29=81 Start with the given equation


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29=a, then x=-a or x=a)

x%2B142=-81 or x%2B142=81 Set the expression x%2B142 equal to the original value 81 and it's opposite -81




Now lets focus on the first equation x%2B142=-81


x=-81-142Subtract 142 from both sides


x=-223 Combine like terms on the right side







Now lets focus on the second equation x%2B142=81



x=81-142Subtract 142 from both sides


x=-61 Combine like terms on the right side





So the solutions are:

x=-223 or x=-61

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

abs%282x-6%29=81 Start with the given equation


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29=a, then x=-a or x=a)

2x-6=-81 or 2x-6=81 Set the expression 2x-6 equal to the original value 81 and it's opposite -81




Now lets focus on the first equation 2x-6=-81


2x=-81%2B6Add 6 to both sides


2x=-75 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28-75%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x



x=-75%2F2 Reduce







Now lets focus on the second equation 2x-6=81



2x=81%2B6Add 6 to both sides


2x=87 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2887%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x



x=87%2F2 Reduce





So the solutions are:

x=-75%2F2 and x=87%2F2

5a=3a%2B10 Start with the given equation.


5a-3a=10 Subtract 3a from both sides.


2a=10 Combine like terms on the left side.


a=%2810%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate a.


a=5 Reduce.


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


-5a%2B3 Move onto the given expression


-5%285%29%2B3 Plug in a=5


-25%2B3 Multiply


-22 Add


So -5a%2B3=-22 when 5a=3a%2B10


Linear-equations/174179: What is the equation of the line that passes through the given points and is perpendicular to the given line?

Answer 129114 by jim_thompson5910(28593) About Me  on 2008-12-20 16:31:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

2y=3x-6 Start with the given equation.


y=%283x-6%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=%28%283%29%2F%282%29%29x%2B%28-6%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


y=%283%2F2%29x-3 Reduce.


We can see that the equation y=%283%2F2%29x-3 has a slope m=3%2F2 and a y-intercept b=-3.


Now to find the slope of the perpendicular line, simply flip the slope m=3%2F2 to get m=2%2F3. Now change the sign to get m=-2%2F3. So the perpendicular slope is m=-2%2F3.


Now let's use the point slope formula to find the equation of the perpendicular line by plugging in the slope m=3%2F2 and the coordinates of the given point .


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the point slope formula


y-3=%28-2%2F3%29%28x-3%29 Plug in m=-2%2F3, x%5B1%5D=3, and y%5B1%5D=3


y-3=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B%28-2%2F3%29%28-3%29 Distribute


y-3=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B2 Multiply


y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B2%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B5 Combine like terms.


So the equation of the line perpendicular to -3x%2B2y=-6 that goes through the point is y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B5.


Here's a graph to visually verify our answer:
Graph of the original equation y=%283%2F2%29x-3 (red) and the perpendicular line y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B5 (green) through the point .

So the answer is x=-4







# 2



25%28x-4%29%2B3x=77-2%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation.


25x-100%2B3x=77-2x%2B6 Distribute.


28x-100=77-2x%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


28x-100=-2x%2B83 Combine like terms on the right side.


28x=-2x%2B83%2B100 Add 100 to both sides.


28x%2B2x=83%2B100 Add 2x to both sides.


30x=83%2B100 Combine like terms on the left side.


30x=183 Combine like terms on the right side.

So you want to graph x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+1 ?





Table of Contents:
Step 1: Finding the Vertex
Step 2: Finding two points to left of axis of symmetry
Step 3: Reflecting two points to get points right of axis of symmetry
Step 4: Plotting the Points (with table)
Step 5: Graphing the Parabola

In order to graph f%28x%29=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1, we can follow the steps:


Step 1) Find the vertex (the vertex is the either the highest or lowest point on the graph). Also, the vertex is at the axis of symmetry of the parabola (ie it divides it in two).


Step 2) Once you have the vertex, find two points on the left side of the axis of symmetry (the line that vertically runs through the vertex).


Step 3) Reflect those two points over the axis of symmetry to get two more points on the right side of the axis of symmetry.


Step 4) Plot all of the points found (including the vertex).


Step 5) Draw a curve through all of the points to graph the parabola.


Let's go through these steps in detail


Jump to Top of Page

Step 1)

Finding the vertex:




In order to find the vertex, we first need to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.


To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, use this formula: x=%28-b%29%2F%282a%29.


x=%28-b%29%2F%282a%29 Start with the given formula.


From y=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1, we can see that a=1, b=2, and c=1.


x=%28-%282%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in a=1 and b=2.


x=%28-2%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x=-1 Divide.


So the x-coordinate of the vertex is x=-1. Note: this means that the axis of symmetry is also x=-1.


Now that we know the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can use it to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.


y=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1 Start with the given equation.


y=%28-1%29%5E2%2B2%28-1%29%2B1 Plug in x=-1.


y=1%281%29%2B2%28-1%29%2B1 Square -1 to get 1.


y=1%2B2%28-1%29%2B1 Multiply 1 and 1 to get 1.


y=1-2%2B1 Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.


y=0 Combine like terms.


So the y-coordinate of the vertex is y=0.


So the vertex is .


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


Jump to Top of Page

Step 2)

Find two points to the left of the axis of symmetry:




Let's find the y value when x=-3


y=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1 Start with the given equation.


y=%28-3%29%5E2%2B2%28-3%29%2B1 Plug in x=-3.


y=1%289%29%2B2%28-3%29%2B1 Square -3 to get 9.


y=9%2B2%28-3%29%2B1 Multiply 1 and 9 to get 9.


y=9-6%2B1 Multiply 2 and -3 to get -6.


y=4 Combine like terms.


So the first point to the left of the axis of symmetry is (-3,4)


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


Let's find the y value when x=-2


y=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1 Start with the given equation.


y=%28-2%29%5E2%2B2%28-2%29%2B1 Plug in x=-2.


y=1%284%29%2B2%28-2%29%2B1 Square -2 to get 4.


y=4%2B2%28-2%29%2B1 Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.


y=4-4%2B1 Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.


y=1 Combine like terms.


So the second point to the left of the axis of symmetry is (-2,1)


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


Jump to Top of Page

Step 3)

Reflecting the two points over the axis of symmetry:




Now remember, the parabola is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry (which is x=-1)


This means the y-value for x=-2 (which is one unit from the axis of symmetry) is equal to the y-value of x=0 (which is also one unit from the axis of symmetry). So when x=0, y=1 which gives us the point (0,1). So we essentially reflected the point (-2,1) over to (0,1).


Also, the y-value for x=-3 (which is two units from the axis of symmetry) is equal to the y-value of x=1 (which is also two units from the axis of symmetry). So when x=1, y=4 which gives us the point (1,4). So we essentially reflected the point (-3,4) over to (1,4).


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

Step 4)

Plotting the points:




Now lets make a table of the values we have calculated:


xy
-34
-21
-10

Now let's plot the points:

Now draw a curve through all of the points to graph y=x%5E2%2B2x%2B1:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
F=1.8C%2B32 Start with the given equation


-50=1.8C%2B32 Plug in F=-50


-50-32=1.8C Subtract 32 from both sides.


-82=1.8C Combine like terms.


-82%2F1.8=C Divide both sides by 1.8 to isolate C


-45.6=C Divide (and round to the nearest tenth)


So the answer is approximately C=-45.6


So this means that -50 F is approximately -45.6 C

Answer 129103 by jim_thompson5910(28593) About Me  on 2008-12-20 15:33:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=# of adult tickets and y=# of senior tickets


"a theater sold 478 tickets for a play" translates to x%2By=478

and


"thickets cost $20 for adults and $13 for senior citizens.,if the total receipts were $6970" translates to 20x%2B13y=6970






So we have the system of equations:


system%28x%2By=478%2C20x%2B13y=6970%29


Let's solve the system by substitution


Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.




So let's isolate y in the first equation

x%2By=478 Start with the first equation


y=478-x Subtract x from both sides


y=-x%2B478 Rearrange the equation


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

Since y=-x%2B478, we can now replace each y in the second equation with -x%2B478 to solve for x



20x%2B13highlight%28%28-x%2B478%29%29=6970 Plug in y=-x%2B478 into the second equation. In other words, replace each y with -x%2B478. Notice we've eliminated the y variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.



20x%2B%2813%29%28-1%29x%2B%2813%29%28478%29=6970 Distribute 13 to -x%2B478


20x-13x%2B6214=6970 Multiply


7x%2B6214=6970 Combine like terms on the left side


7x=6970-6214Subtract 6214 from both sides


7x=756 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28756%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x



x=108 Divide





-----------------First Answer------------------------------


So the first part of our answer is: x=108









Since we know that x=108 we can plug it into the equation y=-x%2B478 (remember we previously solved for y in the first equation).



y=-x%2B478 Start with the equation where y was previously isolated.


y=-%28108%29%2B478 Plug in x=108


y=-108%2B478 Multiply


y=370 Combine like terms



-----------------Second Answer------------------------------


So the second part of our answer is: y=370









-----------------Summary------------------------------

So our answers are:

x=108 and y=370


So this means that 108 adult tickets and 370 senior tickets were sold.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=side length of square

Since "A house had two rooms of equal area. One room is square and the other room is a rectangle 4ft narrower and 5ft longer than the square one.", this means that x%5E2=%28x%2B5%29%28x-4%29


x%5E2=%28x%2B5%29%28x-4%29 Start with the given equation.


x%5E2=x%5E2%2Bx-20 FOIL


0=x%5E2%2Bx-20-x%5E2 Subtract x%5E2 from both sides.


0=x-20 Combine like terms.


20=x Add 20 to both sides.



So the answer is x=20 which means that the side length of the square is 20 ft. So the area of the square is 20%5E2=400 square feet.


So the length of the rectangle is 20%2B5=25 ft and the width is 20-4=16 ft. So the area of the rectangle is 25%2A16=400 square feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First solve for "x":


10x-8=-28 Start with the given equation.


10x=-28%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


10x=-20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-20%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x.


x=-2 Reduce.


Now plug the given value of "x" into the expression 8x%2B10


8x%2B10 Start with the given expression


8%28-2%29%2B10 Plug in x=-2


-16%2B10 Multiply


-6 Add


So 8x%2B10=-6 if 10x-8=-28

-n%2F3%3E=-3 Start with the given inequality.


cross%283%29%28-n%2Fcross%283%29%29%3E=3%28-3%29 Multiply both sides by 3


-n%3E=-9 Multiply.


n%3C=%28-9%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate n. Note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


n%3C=9 Reduce.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

5x%2B2y=-6 Start with the given equation.


2y=-6-5x Subtract 5x from both sides.


2y=-5x-6 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-5x-6%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-5%29%2F%282%29%29x%2B%28-6%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%285%2F2%29x-3 Reduce.




Looking at y=-%285%2F2%29x-3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-5%2F2 and the y-intercept is b=-3


Since b=-3 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
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -5%2F2, this means:

rise%2Frun=-5%2F2


which shows us that the rise is -5 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 5 and over 2



So starting at , go down 5 units


and to the right 2 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-%285%2F2%29x-3

So this is the graph of y=-%285%2F2%29x-3 through the points and

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given system of equations:
system%282x-5y=-6%2C8x%2B3y=68%29


-4%282x-5y%29=-4%28-6%29 Multiply the both sides of the first equation by -4.


-8x%2B20y=24 Distribute and multiply.


So we have the new system of equations:
system%28-8x%2B20y=24%2C8x%2B3y=68%29


Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%28-8x%2B20y%29%2B%288x%2B3y%29=%2824%29%2B%2868%29


%28-8x%2B8x%29%2B%2820y%2B3y%29=24%2B68 Group like terms.


0x%2B23y=92 Combine like terms. Notice how the x terms cancel out.


23y=92 Simplify.


y=%2892%29%2F%2823%29 Divide both sides by 23 to isolate y.


y=4 Reduce.


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


-8x%2B20y=24 Now go back to the first equation.


-8x%2B20%284%29=24 Plug in y=4.


-8x%2B80=24 Multiply.


-8x=24-80 Subtract 80 from both sides.


-8x=-56 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-56%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x.


x=7 Reduce.


So our answer is x=7 and y=4.


Which form the ordered pair .


This means that the system is consistent and independent.


Notice when we graph the equations, we see that they intersect at . So this visually verifies our answer.

Do you want to graph? Please post full instructions.




Looking at y=x-15 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=1 and the y-intercept is b=-15


Since b=-15 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
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 1, this means:

rise%2Frun=1%2F1


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 y=x-15

So this is the graph of y=x-15 through the points and

Note: you must surround the expression by three curly braces (not parenthesis) to make the expression show up the way you want it.


Also, use parenthesis to show grouping. So write the expression as (3a+b)/(6a+2b)






So %283a%2Bb%29%2F%286a%2B2b%29=1%2F2 where a%3C%3E-b%2F3

In order to graph y=x%5E2-5x%2B4, we need to plot some points.


Let's find y when x=0
(Note: you can start with any x-value):


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%280%29%5E2-5%280%29%2B4 Plug in x=0.


y=1%280%29-5%280%29%2B4 Square 0 to get 0.


y=0-5%280%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 0 to get 0.


y=0%2B0%2B4 Multiply -5 and 0 to get 0.


y=4 Combine like terms.


So when x=0, then y=4.


So we have the point .


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


Let's find y when x=1:


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%281%29%5E2-5%281%29%2B4 Plug in x=1.


y=1%281%29-5%281%29%2B4 Square 1 to get 1.


y=1-5%281%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 1 to get 1.


y=1-5%2B4 Multiply -5 and 1 to get -5.


y=0 Combine like terms.


So when x=1, then y=0.


So we have the point .


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


Let's find y when x=2:


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%282%29%5E2-5%282%29%2B4 Plug in x=2.


y=1%284%29-5%282%29%2B4 Square 2 to get 4.


y=4-5%282%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.


y=4-10%2B4 Multiply -5 and 2 to get -10.


y=-2 Combine like terms.


So when x=2, then y=-2.


So we have the point .

Let's find y when x=3:


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%283%29%5E2-5%283%29%2B4 Plug in x=3.


y=1%289%29-5%283%29%2B4 Square 3 to get 9.


y=9-5%283%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 9 to get 9.


y=9-15%2B4 Multiply -5 and 3 to get -15.


y=-2 Combine like terms.


So when x=3, then y=-2.


So we have the point .


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


Let's find y when x=4:


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%284%29%5E2-5%284%29%2B4 Plug in x=4.


y=1%2816%29-5%284%29%2B4 Square 4 to get 16.


y=16-5%284%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 16 to get 16.


y=16-20%2B4 Multiply -5 and 4 to get -20.


y=0 Combine like terms.


So when x=4, then y=0.


So we have the point .

Let's find y when x=5:


y=x%5E2-5x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


y=%285%29%5E2-5%285%29%2B4 Plug in x=5.


y=1%2825%29-5%285%29%2B4 Square 5 to get 25.


y=25-5%285%29%2B4 Multiply 1 and 25 to get 25.


y=25-25%2B4 Multiply -5 and 5 to get -25.


y=4 Combine like terms.


So when x=5, then y=4.


So we have the point .
