Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/194815: This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra If each of the sides of a square is lengthened by 4m, the area becomes 49m^2. Find the length of the side of the original. 1 solutions Answer 146151 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:53:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the area of a square is 49, then the length of a side must be 7. John

Quadratic_Equations/194813: The question I have is how to determine the domain, such as in the question: State the domain in the function f(x)= 3x-6/x^2-25. 1 solutions Answer 146150 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:50:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The domain is that set of values for which the function is defined. You have a rational function, so you need to find any values for which the denominator would be zero. Then the domain is everything else. Set the denominator equal to zero: Factor the difference of two squares: So the denominator is zero if Hence, the domain is all real numbers except for 5 and -5. In set builder notation: John

Quadratic_Equations/194754: Solve using the quadratic methods. Thanks! (x+4)^4-(x+4)^2-6=0 1 solutions Answer 146147 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:42:34 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Factor: or So: John

Polygons/194786: This question is from textbook McDougal Littell Geometry A regular hexagonal shaped target with sides of length 14 centimeters has a circular bull's eye with a diameter of 3 centimeters. What is the probability that a dart that hits the target will hit the bull's eye? 1 solutions Answer 146142 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:23:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability is the area of the circle divided by the area of the hexagon. John

Quadratic-relations-and-conic-sections/194808: i have to write the equation of the conic section in standard form and classify the conic section: 9y^2-x^2+2x+54y+62=0 1 solutions Answer 146141 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:20:17 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! This one is already in standard form. But notice that the signs on the two second degree terms are opposite. That means this is a hyperbola. John

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/194792: The sum of two numbers is -42. The first number minus the second number is 52. Find the numbers? 1 solutions Answer 146140 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:17:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system. Hint: Use the Elimination method. John

Reduction-of-unit-multipliers/194807: It says perform the following unit conversions. 3 3/4yd.=____in. The only thing so far that I come up with is:15/4=3.75 I cannot figure out what to do next. Please help. Thanks, Kathy Price 1 solutions Answer 146138 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:15:53 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 36 inches in a yard. Since for the same distance, you are going to have a larger number of inches than yards, you should multiply: You can do your own arithmetic. John

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/194791: If a ball is tossed into the air from a height of 6 feet with a velocity of 32 feet per second, then its altitude at time t (in seconds) can be described by the function A(t)=-15t+32t+6. Find the altitude of the ball at 2 seconds 1 solutions Answer 146136 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:13:03 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I don't know where you got the altitude function that you stated, but it is incorrect (even if you are on a different planet - you still need to square the variable in the first term). What you want is: You need to find A(2): You can do your own arithmetic. John

Equations/194793: This question is from textbook algebra 1/2 how do you find the latral surface? 1 solutions Answer 146134 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 23:07:52 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think you meant lateral surface area. Trouble is, you don't specify the shape for which you want the lateral surface area. In general, in that lateral means "side," it is the surface area of the figure excluding the bases. John

Quadratic_Equations/194736: Hello, I have been working on this problem for a while and can;t seem to come up with a reasonable solution. The Hudson River flows at a rate of 5 miles per hour. A patrol boat travels 40 miles upriver, and returns in a total time of 6 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water? D=R x T r=40/6 r-5=40/6 40/r-5 + 40/r+5=6 r^2-25(40/r-5) + r^-25(40/r+5=6 40r^2+1000/r^2-25 + 40r^2-1000/r^2-25=6 (r-5)(r+5) 40/r-5 and (r-5)(r+5) 40/r+5 after cancelling: 40r+5 +40r-5=6 80r=6 r=74 I know that this is not correct, but I can't figure out where I went wrong. Thanks, Dave 1 solutions Answer 146101 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 20:01:51 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You got off on the wrong foot from the git-go. You said , but that can't be true because 40 is the one-way distance and 6 hours is the total time for both directions. Not to mention that you then said and both of those statements cannot be simultaneously true. Let's begin anew. Let r represent the speed of the boat in still water. Then r - 5 is the speed of the boat upriver (against the current) and r + 5 is the speed downriver. Let t represent the amount of time it took to go upriver, then 6 - t is the time it took to go downriver. For the upriver trip: and for the downriver trip: Solving both equations for t we get: and Now that we have two things equal to t, we can set them equal to each other: LCD is , so: Expanding binomials, removing parentheses, collecting terms: Now, you can either multiply both sides by or realize that if you have two equal fractions with identical denominators, then the numerators have to be equal as well to write: Put in standard form: Fortunately, this little puppy factors rather neatly: Exclude the negative root because we are reasonably certain that the boat wasn't going backwards as a negative rate through the water would suggest, and the rate in still water is 15 mph. Check: A 40 mile upriver trip would take 40 divided by (15 - 5) = 4 hours. A 40 mile downriver trip would take 40 divided by (15 + 5) = 2 hours. Total time: 6 hours, answer checks. John

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/194715: 2x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0 how do you do the step by step factorising? thanks! 1 solutions Answer 146079 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-05-04 17:47:41 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a word, you don't. This quadratic trinomial does not factor over the integers. How do I know? Square the coefficient on the first degree term -- 5 squared is 25. Multiply -4 times the coefficient on the high order term times the constant, -4 times 2 times -6 is 48. Combine that with the previous result, 25 plus 48 = 73. 73 is NOT a perfect square, so the polynomial doesn't factor over the integers. John
