Surface-area/428289: An acre is 45,360 square feet. If the area has 4 sides, what is the formula for obtaining the length of the sides? i.e. x squared equals 45,360... so the formula for obtaining the value of x is ????? 1 solutions Answer 297731 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-28 18:16:54 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Just knowing that the area has 4 sides doesn't help you much. Even if you had specified that the area was a rectangle, (which you didn't, meaning the area could be bounded by any sort of general quadrilateral), you still don't know enough to determine the dimensions of the sides. For example, you could have a square that is just a little less than 213 feet on a side (), or you could have a rectangle that is 1 inch by 544,320 feet. You just have no idea without knowing some other fact about the relationship between the length and the width. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Rational-functions/428167: solve the inequality -4y+6<-14. i think it is y>5 but i am not sure that i have the sign pointing the right direction. if it's not please help me with the right answer. 1 solutions Answer 297680 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-28 14:53:18 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, your answer is correct. In order to get rid of the minus sign in the y term, you had to multiply by a negative number ( in this case) so you had to reverse the sense of the inequality, changing from less than to greater than. Here's how to remind yourself that this makes sense: 2 is certainly less than 3, that is Now multiply both sides by -1: Nope, not less than any more -- minus 2 is GREATER than minus 3: John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Quadratic_Equations/428168: Find the maximum value of the function: y=-x^2+8x-4 1 solutions Answer 297676 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-28 14:35:04 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the lead coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downward. Therefore, the vertex is a maximum. First find the x-coordinate of the vertex. Take the opposite of the coefficient on the first degree term and divide it by 2 times the lead coefficient. The maximum value of the function is the value of the function at the vertex. Take the x-coordinate you just found and evaluate the function at that x-value. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/428149: Suppose that a polynomial function of degree 5 with rational coefficients has 2-3i, -5 and the square root of 7 as zeros. Find the other zeros. I am having a terrible time with this problem. I understand the degree of 5 means there are five zeros. I believe the answer is 2+3i and - square root of 7. Help me step by step this please. 1 solutions Answer 297673 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-28 14:30:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your answer is exactly correct. For a polynomial equation with real coefficients, complex roots always occur in conjugate pairs. The irrational conjugate roots theorem says: Let be any polynomial with rational coefficients. If is a root of , where is irrational and and are rational, then another root is . So, if you have a complex root then you are guaranteed to have another complex root . Likewise, if you have an irrational root where and , then you are guaranteed to have another irrational root Therefore is a root guarantees that is a root and guarantees John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Triangles/428152: If a proof says: "Given: Triangle CDF is an isosceles triangle whose shortest side is line segment FD." Is that the same as perpendicular? 1 solutions Answer 297665 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-28 14:09:53 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! No. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal measure. Hence, the third side is either longer than each of the two equal sides or shorter than each of the two equal sides. In order for FD to be the shortest side, the triangle must represent the latter condition and FD is the one unequal side. You can also deduce that segments CD and CF are congruent.

COMPLIMENT: An expression of esteem, respect, affection, or admiration. It would depend a great deal upon the exact nature of outcome A to determine what someone might say to express esteem, respect, affection, or admiration for outcome A. It is nearly certain that no matter how unpopular outcome A might be that there will be more than one compliment for that outcome. Hence, to find "the" compliment is likely impossible, depending on the size of the population that actually has an opinion of any kind regarding outcome A. COMPLEMENT: (of a probalistic outcome) The complement of an event is the set of all outcomes in the sample space that are not included in the outcomes of that event. The probability of an event plus the probability of the complement of that event is always 1. Hence: John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

I cannot answer the question you asked. The problem is that "easy" is a relative term. What is easy for some is difficult for others, furthermore there are a number of specific ways to attack this problem for which the ease of accomplishment varies slightly. Below find what I consider to be the easiest method -- just how easy that is for you is something I am unable to guess. In order to solve a system by the addition method, you must find a multiplier for one of the equations or a pair of multipliers, one for each of the equations such that the resulting coefficient on one of the variables in one of the equations is the additive inverse of the coefficient of that same variable in the other equation. In your case, if you multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4, the coefficients on y end up being 12 and -12. Then when you add the two equations term by term, the coefficient on y in the result is zero, effectively eliminating the y variable and leaving you with a single equation in a single variable, in this case x. By the way, because the goal of the method is to eliminate one of the variables, the Elimination Method is a more descriptive name than the Addition Method.

If you consider chosing a Democrat for any one of the positions as a success (nothing to do with politics, it is simply a way of looking at the problem), then you want the probability of 4 successes in 4 trials where the probability of success on any given trial is 0.6. I say 0.6 because there are 10 people to choose from and 6 are considered a success. Alternatively, if your conservative politics simply won't allow you to consider selecting a Democrat as a success, you could calculate the probability of 4 failures (failure to pick a Republican) in 4 trials where the probability of success is 0.4. You will find that it reduces to the exact same calculation. The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by: Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by So, for this problem you could either compute: or And remembering that and , So either way, it reduces to You can do your own arithmetic.

The probability of spinning a 2 is equal to the probability of spinning a 1. 2. The probability of spinning ALL the NUMBERS is NOT EQUAL. 3. The probability of spinning a number other than a 1 is 75%. 4. There are three numbers on the spinner. My question is: Why is the probability of spinning ALL the Numbers Not equal? What do you mean by that? Can you please explain it further. Thak you so much. 1 solutions Answer 296554 by solver91311(16868)   on 2011-03-23 18:36:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the first place, you don't need clue 2 to solve the problem, although clue 2 does fit in the end. If the probability of NOT spinning a 1 is 75%, then the probability of spinning a 1 must be 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25% Then since the probability of spinning a 2 is equal to the probability of spinning a 1, then the probability of spinning a 2 must also be 25%. That leaves 50% for the third number whatever number that might be. So even though the probability of spinning a 1 is the same as the probability of spinning a 2, each of these has a different probability than spinning the third number.
