Graphs/142540: how do you write the standard form of an equasion of a line that passes through the point (1,1) and has a slope of 1/4? 1 solutions
Answer 103757 by prabhjyot(164) on 2008-05-21 20:01:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Point-Slope Form::
 where (x1, y1) is a point through which the line passes.
so given:
x1=1
y1=1
m= 1/4
Standard Form  , where A =1, B =-4,and C=-3

logarithm/130717: This question is from textbook
This do not understand how to do this equation. Can you help me?
log(5x+1)=log(2x+3)+log 2 1 solutions
Answer 95451 by prabhjyot(164) on 2008-03-06 07:48:46 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!log(5x+1)=log(2x+3)+log2
log(5x+1)-log(2x+3)=log2
property of Logarithms
 =
Take antilog of both sides to cancel the log

(5x+1) = 2(2x+3)
5x + 1 = 4x +6
5x-4x = 6-1
x = 5

Equations/130533: what is the series of arithmetic? 1 solutions
Answer 95335 by prabhjyot(164) on 2008-03-05 10:04:21 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!A series such as 3 + 7 + 11 + 15 + ··· + 99 or 10 + 20 + 30 + ··· + 1000 which has a constant difference between terms. The first term is a1, the common difference is d, and the number of terms is n. The sum of an arithmetic series is found by multiplying the number of terms times the average of the first and last terms.

Thank you 1 solutions
Answer 67201 by prabhjyot(164) on 2007-08-12 12:24:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!x-intercept:-3
slope :undefined
equation of line :x=-3
To avoid the problems of lines that have infinite slopes, don't use
the equation y = mx + b; instead use the equation
ax + by + c = 0
All lines (even with infinite slopes) can be represented using that
equation.

Compare the above equation with standard quadratic equation 
we get
a = -3
b = -10
c = 8
Discriminant:  =
Discriminant (196) is greater than zero. The equation has two solutions.

or

or
x1,2 = (10 ± 14) / 2*-3
or
x1 = 24 / -6 = -4
x2 = -4 / -6 = -2/-3=2/3=0.666
or
x1,2 = -4, 0.666
Equation factored:
-3(x+4)(x-0.666)

Rectangles/77647: The width of a rectangle is 7 ft less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 120 ft2(square). Find the width of the rectangle. 1 solutions
Answer 55696 by prabhjyot(164) on 2007-04-10 12:50:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The width of a rectangle is 7 ft less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 120 ft2(square). Find the width of the rectangle.
If we let the length = L
Then, the width, or w, will be L-7
We know that the area of a rectangle is length times width.
So, L(L-7)=120
(L-15)(L+8)
So, L=15,-8 length can't be negative, so L=15
So width w=L-7=15-7=8
So width of the rectangle is 8 ft.
