Linear-equations/481683: What is the equation of the line containg the given pair of points (-7,0) and )0,5)
1 solutions

Answer 329808 by jim_thompson5910(28705) About Me  on 2011-08-14 21:22:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=-7 and y%5B1%5D=0.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=0 and y%5B2%5D=5.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%285-0%29%2F%280--7%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=5, y%5B1%5D=0, x%5B2%5D=0, and x%5B1%5D=-7


m=%285%29%2F%280--7%29 Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5


m=%285%29%2F%287%29 Subtract -7 from 0 to get 7


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=5%2F7


Now let's use the point slope formula:


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


y-0=%285%2F7%29%28x--7%29 Plug in m=5%2F7, x%5B1%5D=-7, and y%5B1%5D=0


y-0=%285%2F7%29%28x%2B7%29 Rewrite x--7 as x%2B7


y-0=%285%2F7%29x%2B%285%2F7%29%287%29 Distribute


y-0=%285%2F7%29x%2B5 Multiply


y=%285%2F7%29x%2B5 Simplify


So the equation that goes through the points and is y=%285%2F7%29x%2B5


Notice how the graph of y=%285%2F7%29x%2B5 goes through the points and . So this visually verifies our answer.
Graph of y=%285%2F7%29x%2B5 through the points and

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hint: The unit price is the price per 1 unit of the item. In other words, the unit price is the cost to buy 1 unit of that item. So in your case, the unit price refers to the price to buy one pound of lean angus ground chunk.

Solved by pluggable solver: Find A Quadratic Equation Given The Solutions


x=-6 or x=-1 Start with the given solutions.



x%2B6=0 or x%2B1=0 Get everything to one side so that only 0 remains on the right side (for both equations).



%28x%2B6%29%28x%2B1%29=0 Use the zero product property to combine the equations.



x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0 FOIL out the left side.



So the answer is x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0



To check your work, simply solve x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0 for x. Doing so will show you that the solutions are x=-6 or x=-1, which confirm the answer.

Equations/481524: What is the GCF of 48y,16?

Answer 329750 by jim_thompson5910(28705) About Me  on 2011-08-14 18:35:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The GCF of 48 and 16 is 16 (since 48=16*3, which shows that this is the largest factor they share). Since the term 16 has no 'y' variable in it, this means we ignore the variable.



So the GCF of 48y and 16 is 16.

%28x-6%29%5E2=49 Start with the given equation.


x-6=%27%27%2B-sqrt%2849%29 Take the square root of both sides.


x-6=sqrt%2849%29 or x-6=-sqrt%2849%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


x-6=7 or x-6=-7 Take the square root of 49 to get 7.


x=6%2B7 or x=6-7 Add 6 to both sides.


x=13 or x=-1 Combine like terms.

Answer:


So the solutions are x=13 or x=-1.

Hint: Parallel lines have equal slopes. So because slope of given line is 3, this means that m=3 for the unknown parallel line.


Also, the line needs to pass through (10,4). So when x=10, then y=4.


We have 3 pieces of info: m=3, x=10, and y=4. Plug all this into y=mx+b to get


4 = 3(10)+b


and now solve for b.


The answer will be y = 3x+b where 'b' is the answer you got above.

You can factor x%5E2 into x*x

You can't factor 'x' any further (in the term -4x). So the GCF between x%5E2 and x is x because they both have an 'x' in common.


However, there are no 'x' terms in -20. So this means that the GCF of the variable terms is not 'x'.


This then means that the GCF of x%5E2, x and -20 is 1 (since x%5E2=1%2Ax%5E2 and x=1%2Ax), but this is a trivial factor. So we can ignore it.


Therefore, the GCF of 8x^2, -4x, and -20 is 4

From 3x%5E2%2B4x-11 we can see that a=3, b=4, and c=-11


D=b%5E2-4ac Start with the discriminant formula.


D=%284%29%5E2-4%283%29%28-11%29 Plug in a=3, b=4, and c=-11


D=16-4%283%29%28-11%29 Square 4 to get 16


D=16--132 Multiply 4%283%29%28-11%29 to get %2812%29%28-11%29=-132


D=16%2B132 Rewrite D=16--132 as D=16%2B132


D=148 Add 16 to 132 to get 148


So the discriminant is D=148


Since the discriminant is greater than zero, this means that there are two real solutions.


Linear-systems/481201: 135x^2-222x+91

I have to factor this problem.

Answer 329600 by jim_thompson5910(28705) About Me  on 2011-08-13 21:30:24 (Show Source):

Looking at the expression 135x%5E2-222x%2B91, we can see that the first coefficient is 135, the second coefficient is -222, and the last term is 91.


Now multiply the first coefficient 135 by the last term 91 to get %28135%29%2891%29=12285.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to 12285 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient -222?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of 12285 (the previous product).


Factors of 12285:
1,3,5,7,9,13,15,21,27,35,39,45,63,65,91,105,117,135,189,195,273,315,351,455,585,819,945,1365,1755,2457,4095,12285
-1,-3,-5,-7,-9,-13,-15,-21,-27,-35,-39,-45,-63,-65,-91,-105,-117,-135,-189,-195,-273,-315,-351,-455,-585,-819,-945,-1365,-1755,-2457,-4095,-12285


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


These factors pair up and multiply to 12285.
1*12285 = 12285
3*4095 = 12285
5*2457 = 12285
7*1755 = 12285
9*1365 = 12285
13*945 = 12285
15*819 = 12285
21*585 = 12285
27*455 = 12285
35*351 = 12285
39*315 = 12285
45*273 = 12285
63*195 = 12285
65*189 = 12285
91*135 = 12285
105*117 = 12285
(-1)*(-12285) = 12285
(-3)*(-4095) = 12285
(-5)*(-2457) = 12285
(-7)*(-1755) = 12285
(-9)*(-1365) = 12285
(-13)*(-945) = 12285
(-15)*(-819) = 12285
(-21)*(-585) = 12285
(-27)*(-455) = 12285
(-35)*(-351) = 12285
(-39)*(-315) = 12285
(-45)*(-273) = 12285
(-63)*(-195) = 12285
(-65)*(-189) = 12285
(-91)*(-135) = 12285
(-105)*(-117) = 12285

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient -222:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1122851+12285=12286
340953+4095=4098
524575+2457=2462
717557+1755=1762
913659+1365=1374
1394513+945=958
1581915+819=834
2158521+585=606
2745527+455=482
3535135+351=386
3931539+315=354
4527345+273=318
6319563+195=258
6518965+189=254
9113591+135=226
105117105+117=222
-1-12285-1+(-12285)=-12286
-3-4095-3+(-4095)=-4098
-5-2457-5+(-2457)=-2462
-7-1755-7+(-1755)=-1762
-9-1365-9+(-1365)=-1374
-13-945-13+(-945)=-958
-15-819-15+(-819)=-834
-21-585-21+(-585)=-606
-27-455-27+(-455)=-482
-35-351-35+(-351)=-386
-39-315-39+(-315)=-354
-45-273-45+(-273)=-318
-63-195-63+(-195)=-258
-65-189-65+(-189)=-254
-91-135-91+(-135)=-226
-105-117-105+(-117)=-222



From the table, we can see that the two numbers -105 and -117 add to -222 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers -105 and -117 both multiply to 12285 and add to -222


Now replace the middle term -222x with -105x-117x. Remember, -105 and -117 add to -222. So this shows us that -105x-117x=-222x.


135x%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-105x-117x%29%2B91 Replace the second term -222x with -105x-117x.


%28135x%5E2-105x%29%2B%28-117x%2B91%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


15x%289x-7%29%2B%28-117x%2B91%29 Factor out the GCF 15x from the first group.


15x%289x-7%29-13%289x-7%29 Factor out 13 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.


%2815x-13%29%289x-7%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term 9x-7


===============================================================


Answer:


So 135x%5E2-222x%2B91 factors to %2815x-13%29%289x-7%29.


In other words, 135x%5E2-222x%2B91=%2815x-13%29%289x-7%29.


Note: you can check the answer by expanding %2815x-13%29%289x-7%29 to get 135x%5E2-222x%2B91 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

2x%5E2%2B3x-1=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic 2x%5E2%2B3x-1 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=2, B=3, and C=-1


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%283%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%283%29%5E2-4%282%29%28-1%29+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Plug in A=2, B=3, and C=-1


x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9-4%282%29%28-1%29+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Square 3 to get 9.


x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9--8+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Multiply 4%282%29%28-1%29 to get -8


x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9%2B8+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%289--8%29 as sqrt%289%2B8%29


x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+17+%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29 Add 9 to 8 to get 17


x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+17+%29%29%2F%284%29 Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.


x+=+%28-3%2Bsqrt%2817%29%29%2F%284%29 or x+=+%28-3-sqrt%2817%29%29%2F%284%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+%28-3%2Bsqrt%2817%29%29%2F%284%29 or x+=+%28-3-sqrt%2817%29%29%2F%284%29
