You can put this solution on YOUR website!Hi i'm trying to solve for X, a/bx+c/d=e.
USE BRACKETS TO SHOW THE THINGS PROPERLY AND TO AVOID MISTAKES.
(a/b)x+(c/d)=e.
I have reduced if to a/bx=ed-c/d
NO...IT IS
(a/b)x=e-(c/d) = (ED-C)/D
SO NOW WE GET
X={(ED-C)}/(A/B)
=B(ED - C )/A......IS THE ANSWER.HOWEVER IF YOUR PROBLEM IS REALLY
(a/bx)+(c/d)=e....THEN
(A/BX)= E - C/D = (ED-C)/D
A/B = X*(ED - C)/D
X = (A/B)/{(ED-C)/D}
X = AD/B(ED - C)WHICH IS THE ANSWER YOU ARE SHOWING BELOW...SO NOW YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING PROPER BRACKETS.
but can't see how to get to the answer.
which i belive is x=da/b(ed-c).

Distributive-associative-commutative-properties/26383: Calculate gcd(x,y) and express it as an integral linear combination of x and y.
a) x=3113, y=1331
The gcd(3113,1331) is 451, but i don't know how to express as a integral combination of x and y. 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x=3113, y=1331
The gcd(3113,1331) is 451, but i don't know how to express as a integral combination of x and y.
GCD IS NOT 451
IT IS 11
SEE BELOW.
1331 3113 2

.. 0
.. GCD=11
WE KNOW THAT IF N IS DIVIDED BY D TO GIVE QUOTIENT OF Q AND REMAINDER OF R THEN
N=Q*D+R
.WE USE THIS TO WRITE GCD AS LINEAR COMBINATION OF THE 2 GIVEN NUMBERS.
THAT IS TO WRITE
.GCD = X * N1 + Y * N2
FROM THE ABOVE DIVISIONS WE DID TO FIND GCD,WE GET
3113=1331*2+451
OR
..451=3113 - 1331*2
.
.I
1331=451*2+429
OR
.429 = 1331 - 451*2
...
..II
451=429*1+22
OR
..22 = 451 - 429*1
...
..III
429=22*19+11
OR
..11 = 429 - 22*19
.
..IV
22=11*2+0
.V
HENCE GCD =11
WE NOW SUBSTITUTE BACK WARDS FROM EQN.IV TO EQN.I,REPLACING THE REMAINDERS IN EACH EQN.SUCCESSIVELY
11=429 - 22*19.................IV
= 429 - (451 - 429*1)*19 = 429 - 451*19+429*19= 429*20 - 451*19
=(1331 - 451*2)*20 - (3113 - 1331*2)*19 = 1331*20 - 451*40 -3113*19 + 1331*38 =1331*58 - 3113*19 - 451*40
=1331*58 - 3113*19 - (3113 - 1331*2)*40 = 1331*138 - 3113*59
HENCE GCD = 11 = 1331*138 - 3113*59
WHICH YOU CAN EASILY VERIFY.HOPE THE METHOD IS CLEAR.IT IS A BIT LONG PROCEDURE.

Exponential-and-logarithmic-functions/26254: How do you solve this problem?
The cube root of (9x + 19) = x + 1
I know that it would be simplified to 9x + 19 = (x + 1)^3, but how do you cube a binomial? 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!The cube root of (9x + 19) = x + 1
I know that it would be simplified to 9x + 19 = (x + 1)^3, but how do you cube a binomial?
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW OR NOT TAUGHT THE FORMLA FOR CUBING A BINOMIAL...YOU CAN USE A SMALL TRICK..YOU DONOT KNOW (X+1)^3...SO PUT X+1=Y...THEN IT IS SIMPLY Y^3 ON THE R.H.S.
ON THE L.H.S..............9X+19=9(Y-1)+19=9Y-9+19=9Y+10...SO
Y^3=9Y+10...YOU WILL GET A VALUE FOR Y BETWEEN 3 AND 4...BUT I THINK YOUR PROBLEM SHOULD READ,IF YOU ARE IN AN ELEMENTARY STAGE IN THE TOPIC,
The cube root of (9x + 9) = x + 1
WHEN YOU WILL GET
Y^3=9Y
Y^3-9Y=0
Y(Y^2-9)=0
Y=0.....0R.....Y^2=9.....THAT IS Y=3......OR....-3

Linear-systems/26347: My son is having problems with this type of equation. He has to find out if the linear equation is consistent or inconsistent.Dependant or independant. Example: x+y=4 5x+y=8 How do you graph this equation. How do you work 5x+y=8 to know where to draw the second line of this equation.What would the graph look like .Thanks 1 solutions
Answer 14201 by venugopalramana(3286) on 2006-02-02 10:41:20 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!SEE THE FOLLOWING TO GET AN IDEA OF THE TOPIC.IF STILL IN DIFFICULTY PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I SHALL HELP FURTHER
AS REGARDS GRAPHING GIVE DIFFERENT VALUES TO X AND FIND Y FROM THE GIVEN RELATION .SEE BELOW
I EQN....X+Y=4
X.............0.........1...........2...........3..............4........ETC...
Y=4-X.........4.........3...........2...........1..............0.........ETC
II EQN.....5X+Y=8
X...........0...........1............2.............3......ETC.........
Y=8-5X......8...........3............-2............-7.....ETC...........
THE GRAPHS WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.

THE 2 LINES INTERSECT AT X=1 AND Y=3 WHICH IS THE UNIQUE SOLUTION TO THESE EQNS.THAT IS THEY ARE CONSISTENT AND INDEPENDENT.IF THEY ARE DEPENDENT YOU WILL GET ONE IDENTICAL LINE FOR BOTH EQNS.THAT IS THEY HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS ON THAT LINE. IF THEY ARE INCONSISTENT YOU WILL GET 2 PARALLEL LINES WHICH DO NOT INTERSECT AND HENCE THERE IS NO SOLUTION

Answer 13848 by venugopalramana(791) on 2006-01-28 11:16:56 (Show Source):
consider these 2 eqns
x+y=2...........i
2x+2y=4.........ii
if the first eqn is given to us ,the second one can be derived by us by multiplying the first eqn. with 2 on either side. so the second eqn.does not give us any additional information ,but is a derivative or dependent eqn. of eqn.i.read the following for additional related information.in case of more than 2 or for that matter any number of equations , if one or more of them could be sinilarly derived by a suitable combination of other eqns.,then we say they or dependent eqns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When using gaussian elimination, can an inconsistant solution have a general solution? i worked out the matrix and came to a spot where 1=-3 and 1=10.4 (inconsistant 1 can't equal 2 different solutions); would there still be a way to formulate a general solution such as x=(2-4x,2-3x,x,0) = (2,2,0,0) + x(-4,-3,1,0)
I hope this is enough information to clearly explain my question. thanks
I THINK YOU ARE CONFUSED BETWEEN ...INCONSISTENT,AND DEPENDENT EQUATIONS.
AS THE NAME IMPLIES AN INCONSISTENT SET OF EQUATIONS HAS NO SOLUTION AS THEY ARE INCONSISTENT.FOR EXAMPLE
X+Y=2
2X+2Y=3....HENCE THERE IS NO QUESTION OF GETTING A GENERAL SOLUTION FOR THAT BY ANY METHOD GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION OR ANY..
CONSISTENT AND DEPENDENT EQNS.HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS GIVEN BY A GENERAL FORMULA AS YOU HAVE MENTIONED..FOR EX.
X+Y=1
2X+2Y=2....THE GERAL FORMULA IS Y=1-X...OR (X,1-X)IS A SOLUTION SET..LIKE (1,0),(2,-1) ETC....
FINALLY CONSISTENT AND INDEPENDENT EQNS.HAVE UNIQUE SOLUTION..FOR EXAMPLE
X+Y=2
X-Y=0...HAVE ONE UNIQUE SOLUTION X=1 AND Y=1
NOW YOU CAN USE GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION TO THE 3 EXAMPLES ABOVE AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.IF YOU STILL AVE DIFFICULTY COME BACK

AREA=LENGTH*WIDTH
(2X-1)*WIDTH=2X^2+5X-3=2X^2+6X-X-3=2X(X+3)-1(X+3)=(2X-1)(X+3)
WIDTH=(2X-1)(X+3)/(2X-1)=X+3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Show for intergers a,b and k that gcd(a,b)=gcd(a,b+ka).
LET GCD OF A AND B BE G
HENCE G|A AND G|B....THAT IS A=GA1.....AND B=GB1.....WHERE A1 AND B1 ARE INTEGERS RELATIVELY PRIME TO EACH OTHER..THAT IS GCD OF A1 AND B1 IS 1.
NOW WE HAVE
B+KA=GB1+KGA1=G(B1+KA1)...SINCE B1,A1 AND K ARE INTEGERS,THIS MEANS
G|(B+KA)...SO G|A AND G|(B+KA)...SO G IS A COMMON DIVISOR OF A AND B+KA
NOW TO SHOW THAT IT IS THE GREATEST INTEGER OR A1 AND B1+KA1 ARE RELATIVELY PRIME TO EACH OTHER.WE KNOW ALREADY A1 AND B1 ARE PRIME TO EACH OTHER.HENCE ONLY IF K IS A MULTIPLE OF B THEN ONLY B1+KA1 CAN HAVE A COMMON FACTOR OF GB1 OR ITS MULTIPLE WHICH IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN G.HENCE WE HAVE
A=GA1
AND IF K=B1 OR NB1 THEN
B+KA COULD BE =GB1(1+A1)...OR.....GB1(1+NA1)
BUT GB1 CANNOT DIVIDE A SINCE A1=A/G IS ALREADY PRIME TO B1.HENCE THE RESULT

Triangles/26341: Show that for two right angles, if the hypotenuse and leg of one are congruent to the hypotenuse and the leg of the other, then the two triangles are congruent. 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Show that for two right angles, if the hypotenuse and leg of one are congruent to the hypotenuse and the leg of the other, then the two triangles are congruent.
YOU CAN USE PYTHOGARUS THOREM TO PROVE THAT SECOND LEGS OF THE 2 TRIANGLES ARE EQUAL.AND HENCE ALL 3 SIDES OF ONE TRIANGLE ARE EQUAL TO THE CORRESPONDING SIDES OF THE SECOND TRIANGLE HENCE BY SSS THEOREM THEY ARE CONGRUENT. NOTE THAT SAS IS ALSO HOLDING NOW AS WE HAVE PROVED THAT THE 2 LEGSF RIGHTANGLE IN ONE TRIANGLE ARE EQUAL TO 2 LEGS OF RIGHT ANGLE IN ANOTHER.
IF ABC AND DEF ARE THE 2 TRIANGLES WITH
ANGLE ABC =ANGLE DEF =90
AC = HYPOTENUSE = DF AND
ONE LEG AB = DE ,WE HAVE BY PYTHOGARUS THEOREM
BC^2=AC^2-AB^2=DF^2-DE^2=EF^2
BC=EF
SO USING SSS THE 2 TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT

Triangles/26340: The triangle A (lower left hand corner of the triangle) B (lower right hand corner) C (top of triangle) =ABC, is an equilateral triangle where each side of the triangle is 6. What is the height of h if h is the dotted vertical line down the center?
I am having a hard time trying to copy and paste the triangle with my question. Hopefully, you can imagine what I am trying to say. The picture looks like an equilateral triangle w/ a dotted vertical line down the middle. The three sides of the triangle is 6 and the three points of the triangle is ABC.

Answer 14171 by venugopalramana(3286) on 2006-02-02 03:20:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!LET ABC BE THE TRIANGLE. AND LET AD BE THE HEIGHT SHOWN BY A PERPENDICULAR FRO A TO BC.D IS ON BC. IN TRIANGLES ABD AND ACD WE HAVE
AB=AC=6
AD=AD
ANGLE ADB = 90 = ANGLE ADC
HENCE THE 2 TRIANGLES ARE IDENTICAL HENCE BD = DC
BUT BC=BD+DC=6 ...SO BD=DC=3
IN RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE ABD WE HAVE ,ANGLE ADB =90 DEGREES
HYPOTENUSE = AB =6
BD =3
SO
AD^2+BD^2=AB^2
AD^2+3^2=6^2
AD^2=36-9=27
AD=SQ.RT.27 = 3*SQRT3

Travel_Word_Problems/26328: I was wondering if you could help me with this problem. I need it as soon as possible. Thank you! A train averaged 120 km/h for the first two thirds of a trip and 100 km/h for the whole trip. Find its average speed for the last third of the trip.

LET THE TRIP BE FOR SAY X KM.
2/3 RD. OF TRIP =X*2/3=2X/3 KM.....IT TRAVELLED AT 120 KMPH
SO TIME TAKEN = 2X/(3*120)=X/180 HRS.
WHOLE TRIP AVERAGE SPEED =100 KMPH ..SO TIME TAKEN FOR WHOLE TRIP = X/100 HRS.
SO TIME TAKEN FOR 1/3 RD. OF TRIP=X/100 - X/180 =X(180-100)/18000=X/225 HRS.
DISTANCE TRAVELLED =X*1/3=X/3
SO AVERAGE SPEED FOR THIS PART = (X/3)/(X/225)=225/3 =75 KMPH

Helped by a strong jet stream, a Los-Angeles-to-Boston plane flew 10% faster than usual and made the 4400km trip in 30min less time then usual. At what speed does the plane usually fly?
What i came up with:
x=old speed...OK
x-30=new speed?..NO 30 MINUTES LESS IS TIME TAKEN.NOT SPEED.HE SAID SPEED IS 10% FASTER,SO IF OLD SPEED IS X
NEW SPEED IS FASTER BY =X*10/100=0.1X
SO NEW SPEED =X+0.1X=1.1X
SO NOW TIME TAKEN AT NEW SPEED =DISTANCE/SPEED=4400/(1.1X)
TIME TAKEN AT OLD SPEED =4400/X
DIFFERENCE = 30 MTS=30/60 HRS=0.5 HRS.
SO WE GET
4400/X - 4400//1.1X = 0.5
4400{1/X - 1/1.1X)=0.5
4400(1.1-1)/1.1X=0.5
4400(0.1/1.1X)=0.5
4400*1/11X=0.5
11X*0.5=4400
X=4400/5.5=800 KMPH

Distributive-associative-commutative-properties/26202: Show for intergers a,b and k that gcd(a,b)=gcd(a,b+ka).
PLEASE NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Show for intergers a,b and k that gcd(a,b)=gcd(a,b+ka).
LET GCD OF A AND B BE G
HENCE G|A AND G|B....THAT IS A=GA1.....AND B=GB1.....WHERE A1 AND B1 ARE INTEGERS RELATIVELY PRIME TO EACH OTHER..THAT IS GCD OF A1 AND B1 IS 1.
NOW WE HAVE
B+KA=GB1+KGA1=G(B1+KA1)...SINCE B1,A1 AND K ARE INTEGERS,THIS MEANS
G|(B+KA)...SO G|A AND G|(B+KA)...SO G IS A COMMON DIVISOR OF A AND B+KA
NOW TO SHOW THAT IT IS THE GREATEST INTEGER OR A1 AND B1+KA1 ARE RELATIVELY PRIME TO EACH OTHER.WE KNOW ALREADY A1 AND B1 ARE PRIME TO EACH OTHER.HENCE ONLY IF K IS A MULTIPLE OF B THEN ONLY B1+KA1 CAN HAVE A COMMON FACTOR OF GB1 OR ITS MULTIPLE WHICH IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN G.HENCE WE HAVE
A=GA1
AND IF K=B1 OR NB1 THEN
B+KA COULD BE =GB1(1+A1)...OR.....GB1(1+NA1)
BUT GB1 CANNOT DIVIDE A SINCE A1=A/G IS ALREADY PRIME TO B1.HENCE THE RESULT

You can put this solution on YOUR website!An open-top box is to be connected from a 6 by 8 foot rectangular cardboard by cutting out equal squares at each corner and then folding up the flaps. Let x denote the length of each side of the square to be cut out. Find the function V that represents the volume of the box in terms of x.
This is what I got:
6x+8x+x=14x²
x=14
LENGTH OF BOARD=6 FT....WIDTH OF BOARD =8 FT.
IF X LONG SQUARE PIECES ARE CUT AT 4 CORNERS WE SHALL HAVE THE BOX DIMENSIONS AS
HEIGHT =X.....LENGTH = 6-2X.....WIDTH =8-2X
VOLUME = V = L*W*H =X(6-2X)(8-2X)=X(48-28X+4X^2)=48X-28X^2+4X^3
THE GRAPH WILL LOOK LIKE THIS
FROM THE GRAPH YOU CAN SEE V HAS A PEAK AT X=ABOUT 3.5 FEET

WHEN THE CIRCLE IS TANGENT TO X AXIS ,IT MEANS ITS CENTRE IS AT A DISTANCE EQUAL TO RADIUS OF THE CIRCLE FROM THE X AXIS .THAT IS Y COORDINATE OF CENTRE OF CIRCLE = 5 OR -5
ABSCISSA OF CENTRE IS GIVEN AS -3.
HENCE CENTRE IS EITHER (-3,5).....OR (-3,-5)..ITS RADIUS =5
HENCE EQN OF 2 POSSIBLE CIRCLES ARE

Geometric_formulas/26224: 4) CLASSIC PROBLEM - A traveling salesman (selling shoes) stops at a farm in the Midwest. Before he could knock on the door, he noticed an old truck on fire. He rushed over and pulled a young lady out of the flaming truck. Farmer Brown came out and gratefully thanked the traveling salesman for saving his daughters life. Mr. Brown insisted on giving the man an award for his heroism.
So, the salesman said, If you insist, I do not want much. Get your checkerboard and place one penny on the first square. Then place two pennies on the next square. Then place four pennies on the third square. Continue this until all 64 squares are covered with pennies. As hed been saving pennies for over 25 years, Mr. Brown did not consider this much of an award, but soon realized he made a miscalculation on the amount of money involved.
a) How much money would Mr. Brown have to put on the 32nd square?
b) How much would the traveling salesman receive if the checkerboard only had 32 squares?
Calculate the amount of money necessary to fill the whole checkerboard (64 squares). How much money would the farmer need to give the salesman?
Thank you so, much for your help. 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7i^3 + 8i^12 +9i^17 -5i^16 =
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
I=I
I^2=-1
I^3=I^2*I=-I
I^4=(I^2)^2=(-1)(-1)=1
HENCE IN GENERAL
(I)^EVEN POWER = -1 OR +1..IT IS +1 IF THE POWER IS DIVISIBLE BY 4 OTHER WISE -1
(I)^ODD POWER = I OR -I ....IT IS +I IF THE POWER LESS ONE IS DIVISIBLE BY 4 OTHER WISE -I...
SO NOW YOU CAN DO THE PROBLEM I THINK ..LET US SEE
7i^3 + 8i^12 +9i^17 -5i^16 = -7I+8+9I-5=3-2I...OK...CLEAR?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!a) Express F(x) in partial fractions
f(x)=(4+x)/(1+2x)(1-x)^2
= A/(1+2X) + B/(1-X) + C /(1-X)^2
PUT 2X+1=0 OR X=-1/2=-0.5 TO GET A
A=(4-0.5)/(1+0.5)^2=3.5/2.25=14/9
AND PUT 1-X =0 OR X=1 TO GET C
C=(4+1)/(1+2*1)=5/3....HENCE....
f(x)=(4+x)/(1+2x)(1-x)^2 = A/(1+2X) + B/(1-X) + C /(1-X)^2
=14/9*(1+2X) + B / (1-X) + 5 /3*(1-X)^2
NOW PUT X=0 TO GET B
4+0=14/9 +B +5/3....OR ....B=7/9
HENCE WE GET
f(x)=(4+x)/(1+2x)(1-x)^2 = A/(1+2X) + B/(1-X) + C /(1-X)^2
=14/9*(1+2X) + 7 /9*(1-X) + 5 /3*(1-X)^2
b) Given that |x|<0.5, expand f(x) in ascending powers of x, up to and including the term x^3
F(X)=14/9*(1+2X) + 7 /9*(1-X) + 5 /3*(1-X)^2
=(14/9)(1+2X)^(-1)+(7/9)*(1-X)^(-1)+(5/3)*(1-X)^(-2)
=(14/9)(1-2X+4X^2-8X^3)+(7/9)(1+X+X^2+X^3)+(5/3)(1+2X+3X^2+4X^3)
REST YOU CAN SIMPLIFY IF NEEDED OR IT CAN BE LEFT AS SUCH..NOTE THAT THE EXPANSIONS WE DID UP TO X^3 AS DESIRED WILL HOLD GOOD ONLY IF |2X|<1...OR...|X|<0.5..HENCE THE NECESSITY FOR THE DATA THAT |X|<0.5 IN THE PROBLEM
