Money_Word_Problems/400094: Write a word about money where each child in the problem ends up with $5. Make sure two operations must be used to solve the problem. 1 solutions Answer 283297 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 13:52:12 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Impossible to do that in one word, which is what "write a word" means. Now if you meant "Write a word problem..." that is an entirely different story. But that isn't what you asked. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Linear-equations/400092: what is the slope of the given points: (3,2) and (8,4)? 1 solutions Answer 283295 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 13:49:59 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the slope formula: where and are the coordinates of the given points. And by the way, your question is stated improperly. A pair of points does not have a slope. The line containing that pair of points has a slope. Hence, properly couched, your question is: "What is the slope of the line containing the given points?" John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Linear-equations/400093: What is the equation for a vertical line? 1 solutions Answer 283292 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 13:47:21 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation for a vertical line that passes through the point is . Such an equation describes a set of points in such that all of the -coordinates are equal to and the -coordinates can be anything you like. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Quadratic_Equations/400026: We are studying Equations, Inequalities, and mathematical modeling. Question says to find ALL solutions of the equation. check your solution in original equation. I need help working this problem. Can you show me step-by-etep how to work and solve equation? equation: 6x^4-14x^2=0 1 solutions Answer 283244 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 11:57:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Factor out: Use the Zero Product Rule, if and only if or The factors of the LHS are: The first two are trivial, namely Set the third one equal to zero: Note rationalization of the denominator. That gives you a total of 4 roots (counting multiplicities) as is demanded of a 4th degree polynomial equation by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. (multiplicity of 2) John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Expressions-with-variables/400011: Could someone please explain how to do these problems, we are solving problems with two variables and I do not understand how to even start working on them, the directions state...Solve by the addition-or-subtraction method, if someone could explain how they are solved I think I could get it.... 3x-y=-5 2x+2y=-6 I would greatly appreciate it...thanks!!!! 1 solutions Answer 283240 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 11:39:36 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1: Determine a factor that will transform one of the coefficients on one of the variables into the additive inverse of the coefficient on that same variable in the other equation. For your example, note that multiplying the first equation by 2 would make the coefficient on in the first equation be -2 which is the additive inverse of 2, the coefficient on in the second equation. is the first equation after multiplying it by 2. is the original second equation. Step 2: Add the two equations, term-by-term to get: Did you notice how the contrivance to have the coefficients on be additive inverses caused the variable to disappear altogether? Step 3: Solve for the remaining variable: Step 4: Substitute the value of the variable you just determined back into either of the original equations: Step 5: Solve: Step 6: Specify the solution set: The solution set consists of a single element, namely the ordered pair Now that you are done with your example problem, a few general notes. 1. Sometimes you will have to find two multipliers, one for each equation in order to achieve the additive inverse relationship between coefficients in the two equations. For example: would require multiplication of the first equation by 3 and the second by 5 in order to eliminate the variable. 2. Cross out any reference to "addition-or-subtraction" method. Completely erase such a notion from your head. It is the Elimination method because the purpose of the method is to eliminate one of the variables. 3. While you are at it, eliminate the notions of "subtraction" and "division." You never have to do either. Always add. That is to say perform instead of . You will make orders of magnitude fewer sign errors if you do that. As for division, you multiply by the reciprocal instead. For example, the process instead of will save you lots of grief when you start working with rational functions later on. 4. You will encounter situations where the result of the elimination process will be a triviality, generally , or an absurdity, that is something that looks like . Every two-variable linear equation has a graph that is a straight line. For any given pair of equations there are three possibilities. One, they can be two lines that intersect in a single point. Such is the case with your example problem -- the solution set consists of a single ordered pair representing the single point of intersection of the graphs of the two lines. Two, they could be exactly the same line, such that any ordered pair that satisfies one of the equations also satisfies the other equation. Graphically, this is represented by the two equations having exactly the same graph, and this situation is indicated by arriving at the trivial result mentioned above. Three, they could be two different but parallel lines. They never intersect, and hence the solution set is the empty set. Such a situation is indicated by achiving an absurd result to the Elimination method. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Word_Problems_With_Coins/400018: Please help me solve this: Zack has $20.25 in nickles and quaters. The number of nickels is 33 less than the number of quaters. How many of each does he have? 1 solutions Answer 283227 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 10:57:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the number of quarters. Then is the value of those quarters in cents. Since there are 33 less nickels than quarters, must represent the number of nickels. then represents the value of the nickels in cents. The value of the quarters plus the value of the nickels is $20.25, but that is the same as 2025 cents. Therefore: Solve for to get the number of quarters. Subtract 33 to find the number of nickels.

Polygons/399886: as the number of sides of a regular polygon increases, What happens to the measure of each exterior angle? What is the least to the possible measure of an exterior angle of a polygon? 1 solutions Answer 283139 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-01-26 00:18:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees regardless of the number of sides. That means that the measure of each exterior angle must get smaller as the number of sides increases. There is no "least possible measure" because even though the limiting value is 0 you can never achieve a 0 degree exterior angle and still have a polygon. You can get as close to zero as you like, but as close as you get, someone else can always come along and get closer. Another way to look at it is that a zero degree exterior angle measure implies that there are an infinite number of sides. And an infinite number of sides implies a circle, not a polygon.

Presuming you mean: rather than which is an equally valid interpretation of what you wrote, proceed as follows: Find the LCD of 4 and 8. Both 4 and 8 divide 8 evenly, so 8 is the LCD. Convert . You have to multiply the denominator by 2 to get from 4 to 8, so you have to multiply the numerator by 2 as well. Result: Now you can add the numerators. 10 plus -3 is 7, so: Now, for where I think you may have gone wrong. You added 5 and -3 to get 2 and then simply ignored the fact that you had a different denominator in the second fraction. Then, having erroneously decided that the sum was , you changed into 2. Let's see if your arithmetic makes any sense. I have one whole pizza and a quarter of a pizza. The whole pizza is sliced into 8 slices, and the quarter pizza is two slices. I give you the whole thing and tell you to eat what you want and calculate what you have when you are done.

Complete the square. Factor the lead coefficient from the terms with variables: Divide the coefficient on the first degree term by 2, square the result, and add that result INSIDE the parentheses. Compensate by adding the opposite of what you inserted inside the parentheses multiplied by the lead coefficient. 2 divided by 2 is 1, 1 squared is 1, add 1 inside the parentheses. -2 times 1 is -2, the opposite of -2 is 2, add 2 to the end. Factor the trinomial inside the parentheses and collect terms: Paying careful attention to the signs, by inspection, the vertex is at The -intercepts are the points where the graph of the function crosses the -axis. The -coordinates of the -intercepts are those values of that make the value of the function equal zero. Set the function equal to zero and solve.

It depends. Is it a committee of 3 equals, such that a committee consisting of Alice, Bill, and Julia is exactly the same as Julia, Alice, and Bill? Or is the order in which the people are specified significant? If it is the first way (order doesn't matter) then you need the number of combinations of 8 things taken 3 at a time. The number of combinations of things taken at a time, , is calculated by On the other hand, if order matters, then you need the number of permutations of 8 things taken 3 at a time.
