Proportions/615903: a car travels 35 miles on each gallon if gas. how far will it travel on 6 gallons? 1 solutions Answer 387371 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-05-29 16:48:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's see...it goes 35 miles on the first gallon, then another 35 miles on the second gallon, plus... See where this is going? John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

logarithm/615879: Solve 4^2t = 5^4t+4] I get -2.5803 but i think I did something wrong. 1 solutions Answer 387370 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-05-29 16:47:16 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have to presume you mean Because the only way I know to solve Is to find an approximate root by numerical methods. Be that as it may, your intuition is spot on. (order of magnitude difference) Take the log of both sides (any base, doesn't matter) Use to write: Multiply both sides by Just for neatness sake, let Then The rest is just calculator (or better, spreadsheet) work. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

�t�e�s�t/615858: Solve each equation for the indicated variable: a) A=2pieRH for R B) y=8x+b for X 1 solutions Answer 387357 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-05-29 15:54:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! "Pie" is a prepared food item, generally round in shape, with a more or less flaky crust depending on the qualtity, and, when used as a dessert item generally has a sweet filling often made of fruit, or when used as an entrée or side dish item, generally has some sort of savory filling. "pi" is the generally accepted English language equivalent of the 16th letter of the lower case Greek alphabet, frequently rendered as , representing the fixed but transcendental irrational ratio between the circumference of a circle and the diameter of that same circle. Multiply both sides by John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Graphs/615872: graph the following y=3x-1 1 solutions Answer 387339 by solver91311(16897)   on 2012-05-29 15:13:48 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier. Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results. Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y). Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis. Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x. Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.

Divide the diameter of the base by 2 to get the radius of the base. Calculate the area of the base using . Multiply the area of the base by the height. Since all of the measurements are given in meters, the results of the calculation will be cubic meters. Whether you decide to leave the answer in terms of or not, round the numeric part of the answer to the nearest cubic meter because the least precise given measurement is to the nearest meter. Unless directed otherwise, never express the results of a calculation involving measurements to a greater precision than the least precise input measurement.

The zeros of the function are clearly at -6, -2, and 4, so plot the points (-6,0), (-2,0), and (4,0). While you are at it, substitute 0 for to find the -intercept, namely (0,-48). Plot that point. Note that the function zeros you plotted partition the -axis into four intervals: Select a value from each of the intervals and calculate the value of the function. This does two things. 1) it gives you another point to plot, and 2) it tells you whether the graph is positive or negative in that interval. This is a 3rd degree polynomial, so you would expect, given three real zeros, one peak and one valley in the graph. Finding the exact peak and valley requires a little calculus.
