Probability-and-statistics/662870: Can you show me how to determine the area with the following information...p(x>108) 1 solutions Answer 412523 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-10-07 16:17:27 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Nope. You don't define the function p, you don't define the meaning of your independent variable, you don't show any relationship between the length and width, and you don't even guarantee that you are dealing with a rectangle or even a quadrilateral. I can't imagine how you would have given less information without leaving the dialog box completely blank. Tell the whole story and maybe we can help you.

Linear-equations/662513: -x+3y=4 x-3y=3 what is the elimination method to solve these two problems 1 solutions Answer 412323 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-10-06 15:20:30 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is not two problems. It is two equations each of which is in two variables that together form one 2X2 system of linear equations. Elimination Method. 1. Multiply one or both equations by a constant or constants such that the coefficient on one of the variables is the additive inverse of the coefficient on the same variable in the other equation. (For this system, you can skip this step since the coefficients on are already 1 and -1 and the coefficients on are already 3 and -3) 2. Add the two equations term by term. One (at least) of the variables will be eliminated leaving you either with a single equation in a single variable, a triviality (such as 0 = 0), or an absurdity (such as 0 = 4). 3. If a single equation in a single variable remains, solve it. Use the value you discover for that variable to substitute back into either of the original equations. That gives you a new single equation in the eliminated variable which you must now solve. The two values for the two variables form an ordered pair that is the solution set of the 2X2 system. Graphically, this is represented by two distinct lines that intersect in a single point. 4. If you end up with a triviality, then the solution set of the system is the solution set of either (and therefore both) of the two equations. Graphically, this is represented by each of the equations graphing to the same line. 5. If you end up with an absurdity, then the solution set of the system is the empty set. Graphically, this is represented by two parallel lines. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Money_Word_Problems/662502: You find 8 coins in an old desk drawer, consisting entirely of nickels, dimes, and quarters, with a face value of 80 cents. However, the coins all date from 1889 and are worth much more than their face value. You were able to sell all the coins to a coin shop for a total of $22. Suppose you received $3 for each nickel, $2 for each dime, and $5 for each quarter.

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/662478: Iam trying to find all the zeros for x5+6x4-x3-6x2-20x-120 found -6 1 solutions Answer 412286 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-10-06 12:48:39 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Having found -6 is a good start, and if you continued looking for rational roots from there, you were doomed to failure; there aren't any. The other four zeros consist of a pair of irrationals and a conjugate pair of complex numbers. The thing is, after having found the factor , you were staring at a 4th degree polynomial that we now know has no rational factors. Woe is me! What to do now? Fortunately, this particular 4th degree polynomial is so configured that you can actually treat it like a quadratic. Read on. First let's do the synthetic division with -6: -6 | 1 6 -1 -6 -20 -120 -6 0 6 0 120 1 0 -1 0 20 0 From this we can determine that and are factors of , and that -6 is indeed a real rational zero of the 5th degree polynomial. But what do we do with the 4th degree factor? We use a substitution trick. Let and substitute into : Et voilą! We have a quadratic that factors tidily: So the zeros are and But wait! We aren't done. The problem doesn't want values of that make the original polynomial equal to zero, it wants values of . So reverse the substitution, thus: hence OR hence And we are done. We started with a 5th degree polynomial and found 5 zeros satisfying the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Time to sit around in a circle, hold hands, and sing "Kumbaya."

You really mean , then put a fork in yourself -- you are done. You aren't factoring this anytime in your lifetime. On the other hand if you were just being sloppy and meant , then read on. You need to find two factors (you know it is only two factors because the exponent is 2) of the form and so that , , and Quadratic trinomials come with three signs to consider, that is the sign on each of the three terms. In your case the sign on the first term is positive, and the sign on the other two is negative. In order to get a negative sign on the constant term, the signs in the middle of each of your binomial factors must be OPPOSITE -- hence either is a negative number or is a negative number. Now, let's get down to numbers. There are exactly three possibilities for the product if we are dealing with only integer coefficients, namely 1 and 25, 5 and 5, or 25 and 1. There are only 2 possibilities to get the 2 as a constant term, 1 and 2 or 2 and 1. Next, let's look at the linear or first degree term (the term in the middle of yor trinomial). We need -23, right. Well -25 plus 2 is exactly -23, isn't it? So, how to make -25? Either -25 times 1 or 25 times -1. So let's try and . Then if we let and , we end up with -25a plus 2a for the center term. Use those numbers and FOIL it to check the work. There are methods for systematically working these out, but I think they are a bit beyond where I think you are in your mathematics education. If you are interested, look up the Rational Roots Theorem and learn how to perform Synthetic Division -- you'll need both. If you have a graphing calculator, then set your quadratic trinomial equal to zero and submit the equation to your calculator. If the calculator provides rational number zeros, then the quadratic is factorable, otherwise not. Furthermore, the factors are and where and are the zeros of the function. If you end up with the zero being a rational number, i.e. , then instead of writing your factor as , you should write it . John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

There are a couple of ways to go about this. The easy way is to plug your points into a graphing calculator or a graphing program on your computer and let the computer figure it out. The hard way is as follows. Five points uniquely determine a 4th degree polynomial equation. The general form of a 4th degree polynomial function is: Start with your first point and substitute the values: Simplify: Similarly, using the other points produce: Then use whatever method you like to solve the 5X5 system of equations to determine your coefficients for the polynomial function. Hint: Multiply the third equation by -1, then add the third and 4th equations. The whole thing will reduce to .

Alternate exterior angles are equal in measure and vertical angles are equal in measure. So if you have a pair of alternate exterior angles or a pair of vertical angles whose measures are denoted by algebraic expressions, just set the two expressions equal to each other and solve the equation. Once you have a value for the variable, substitute back into the expressions -- two reasons: you get the measures of the angles that way, and you double check to see that you did your algebra correctly when you solved the equation.

The average rate of change of a function between two points is given by the formula for the slope of the secant line through the two points. where and are the coordinates of the given points. Where the two abscissas differ only by a constant, in your problem, the denominator simplifies to just that constant. All you need to do is to evaluate the function at and , simplify the numerator, divide out the because every term in the simplified numerator (given correct algebra) will contain at least one factor of . In the case of your problem, simplifying the numerator is somewhat more than a trivial exercise because you will have the difference of two expressions containing radicals and you will not be able to reduce the two radicands to be equal expressions. The trick is to rationalize the numerator. The process is the same as rationalizing a denominator, except that you will choose the conjugate of the numerator so that when you multiply you get the difference of two squares effectively eliminating the numerator radicals. You will still have radical expressions in the denominator, but you will be able to eliminate the factor of in the denominator because you have taken all of the factors of out of the radicals in the numerator.
