Quadratic_Equations/561415: Factor : x2+21x+54 1 solutions Answer 364270 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-01-23 19:37:09 (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 : 1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54 -1,-2,-3,-6,-9,-18,-27,-54 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*54 = 54 2*27 = 54 3*18 = 54 6*9 = 54 (-1)*(-54) = 54 (-2)*(-27) = 54 (-3)*(-18) = 54 (-6)*(-9) = 54 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 54 1+54=55 2 27 2+27=29 3 18 3+18=21 6 9 6+9=15 -1 -54 -1+(-54)=-55 -2 -27 -2+(-27)=-29 -3 -18 -3+(-18)=-21 -6 -9 -6+(-9)=-15 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

Radicals/561329: sqrt(x-6)+3=sqrt(x) does this have a real solution? first i subtracted the 3 over, squared both sides and ended up with x=(25/4) but when i plug that in, it was not a true statement. then i started over and squared both sides like the original problem shows and got the square root equal to a negative so that would be "no real solution". thank you for looking at this!! 1 solutions Answer 364245 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-01-23 17:05:59 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Triangles/561323: I have a series of problems where i only have the measurements of side C in a right triangle (45, 45, 90 degree triangle) and i have no clue how to find sides a and b?? Let's say side C is 43, how would i find sides A and B? 1 solutions Answer 364242 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-01-23 16:56:44 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using the pythagorean theorem, , we can say that if side A = x, B = x (note: A = B because this is an isosceles triangle) and C = 43, then So A and B are roughly 30.4055915910216 units long ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

Linear_Equations_And_Systems_Word_Problems/561315: Hi! I'm not getting one thing on my math homework, can you help me please? OK...here's the word problem. - Dough bought a small tree at the local garden center to plant in his backyard. The employee at the garden center told him that the tree would grow two centimeters per week. The linear equation below represents, h the height of the tree in Doug's backyard. H=2c+61 -What I'm not getting is, what does 61 represent. How tall the tree is when he got it? 1 solutions Answer 364240 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-01-23 16:50:54 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! When c = 0, ie when he first got it, H = 2(0)+61 = 61 which means that the height when he got it was 61 cm So the 61 represents the initial or starting height of the plant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

The set {24, 24, 24, 24} is a very simple example (since adding them will get 96 and then divide that by 4 to get 24 again) also, the set {22, 23, 25, 26} works as well (same reason as above) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.

Linear-systems/561305: How many solutions does the system have? -2x+5y=7 -2x+5y=12 HELP!! 1 solutions Answer 364234 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2012-01-23 16:40:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's say that z = -2x+5y So this would mean that equation 1 would go from -2x+5y = 7 to z = 7 and equation 2 would go from -2x+5y = 12 to z = 12 But z is only ONE number. So z can't be both 7 and 12 at the same time. So there are no numbers z which satisfy the system, which means by extension, there are no numbers x and y which satisfy the system Answer: So there are NO solutions. This means that the system is inconsistent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.
