0= (x-1)^2 -4 and and show explanation please

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-1, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve by factoring:

1. swap the sides:  

0=(x-1)^2-4

2. expand the expression:  

(x-1)^2-4=0

3. rewrite and calculate:

x^2-2x+1-4=0

4. factor

x^2+x-3x-3=0

5. Factor... again

x(x+1)-3(x+1)=0

6. separate

(x+1) (x-3)=0

7. solve

x+1=0, x-3=0

8. and you end up with 2 solutions

x=-1, x=3

Answer 2
x=-1. x=3 hopefully this is correct

#30 Tickets to a school play cost $2 if bought in advance and $3 at the door. By selling all 400 tickets, $1,030 was

collected. Let x represent the number of tickets sold at the door.

In terms of x. how many tickets were sold in advance?

Answers

Answer:

170 tickets were sold in advance

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the = number of tickets sold at the door.

Let y represent the = number of tickets sold in advance

Tickets to a school play cost $2 if bought in advance and $3 at the door. By selling all 400 tickets, $1,030 was

collected.

Hence, we have two equations

x + y = 400 tickets

$3 × x + $2 × y = $1,030

x + y = 400.... Equation 1

x = 400 - y

3x + 2y = 1030........ Equation 2

Substitute 400 - y for x in Equation 2

3(400 - y) + 2y = 1030

1200 - 3y + 2y = 1030

Collect like terms

-y = 1030 -1200

-y = -170

y = 170

Since y represent the number of tickets sold in advance, therefore, 170 tickets were sold in advance.

What it the solution to this equation?
2x+3=x-4

Answers

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x + 3 = x - 4

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left-hand side.

Subtract x from both sides:

(2 x - x) + 3 = (x - x) - 4

Hint: | Combine like terms in 2 x - x.

2 x - x = x:

x + 3 = (x - x) - 4

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

x - x = 0:

x + 3 = -4

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x + (3 - 3) = -3 - 4

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

3 - 3 = 0:

x = -3 - 4

Hint: | Evaluate -3 - 4.

-3 - 4 = -7:

EXTRA POINTS* how do you graph a fraction? for example slope= 1/2, y-intercept: -2 how do you graph this

Answers

Answer:

Because of the y intercept, you would first plot a point at (0,2). This means that you would put the point when x does not from the origin (middle of the lines) and 2 points up from it. After, for every 2 points going to the right, you go only 1 up on y. This is because the slope is 1/2. I recommend you watch Khan Academy.

Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.
f(x) = (x+6)^2 - 49
lesser x=
greater x =

Answers

Answer:

Lesser x is -13.

Greater x is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

[tex]f(x)=(x+6)^2-49[/tex]

And we want to find the zeros of the function.

So, set f(x) to 0 and solve for x:

[tex](x+6)^2-49=0[/tex]

Add 49 to both sides:

[tex](x+6)^2=49[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides. Since we're taking an even root, we will need plus/minus:

[tex]x+6=\pm 7[/tex]

Subtract 6 from both sides:

[tex]x=\pm7-6[/tex]

Evaluate for each case:

Case 1; 7 is positive:

[tex]x=7-6=1[/tex]

Case 2; 7 is negative:

[tex]x=-7-6=-13[/tex]

So, our zeros are:

[tex]\{x|-13, 1\}[/tex]

Our lesser x is -13, and our greater x is 1.

And we're done!

You can eat no more than 40 slices of pizza each week. If you have

i have to create a linear equation and solve it

Answers

Answer: 5.7 slices

Step-by-step explanation:

7x=40. x represents number of slices per day, 7 is because you eat pizza every day and there's 7 days in a week.

Divide both sides by 7:

7x/7 = 40/7

if y=24 when x=6, find y when x=-4.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{y=-16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to note that this represents a proportional relationship. This means that every time x increases by 1, y will increase by a proportional value.

In order to solve for proportions, we can create a proportion fraction which basically puts two variables over each other. Let's put x over y.

[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

We know that in the first fraction, x=6 and y=24.

[tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex]

And we know that x=-4 but we have an unknown y value.

[tex]\frac{-4}{y}[/tex]

We can now set these proportions equal to each other and solve for the missing y using cross products.

[tex]\frac{6}{24}=\frac{-4}{y}[/tex] [tex]y = (24 \cdot -4) \div 6[/tex] [tex]y = -96 \div 6[/tex] [tex]y = -16[/tex]

Sarah took the advertising department from her company on a round trip to meet with a potential client. Including Sarah a total of 10 people took the trip. She was able to purchase coach tickets for $230 and first class tickets for $1290. She used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $7600. How many first class tickets did she buy? How many coach tickets did she buy?

Answers

You can set up a system of equations for this problem. Let x = number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets. Then:

330x + 1220y = 12730 (cost of coach tickets plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)

x + y = 17 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)

Solve the second equation for y to get y = 17 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:

330x + 1220(17 - x) = 12730

330x + 20740 - 1220x = 12730

-890x + 20740 = 12730

-890x = -8010

x = 9

Sarah bought x = 9 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

9 + y = 17

y = 8

Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.

Explicit formula -6,-10,-14

Answers

Answer:

Tn = -6 + (n - 1)(-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula is this: Tn = a + (n - 1)*(d), where 'a' is the first term and 'd' is the common difference.

The first term is given to you and that is -6.

The common difference is -4 because:

d = -10 - (-6)

d = -10 + 6

d = -4

Hence: Tn = -6 + (n - 1)(-4)

Answers

Answer:

Choice B) B \sqrt{29} 29 ​ square root of, 29, end square root = √29

Step-by-step explanation:

When given coordinates, the distance between those points(coordinates) is calculated as:

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² +(y2 - y1)²

Given(x1, y1), (x2, y2)

Fromm the question, we are given points(4,7) and (2,2)

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² +(y2 - y1)²

= √(2 - 4)² + (2 - 7)²

= √-2² + -5²

= √4 + 25

= √29

Therefore, Choice B is the answer = √29

Amelie is shopping for children's books and puzzle books. She wants to purchase at least 2 more children's books than puzzle books, but she can afford no more than 15 items total. If x represents the number of childrens books and y represents the number of puzzle books Amelie purchases, which point lies in the solution set?​

Answers

x = 9
y = 6

Step by step:

Divide 15 by 2: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Subtract 0.5 from 7.5 (this will later be added back): 7.5 - 0.5 = 7
Subtract 1 from 7 (she wants to buy at least 2 more children books): 7 - 1 = 6
Subtract 6 from 15 (6 being the number of puzzle books, 15 being the total number of items): 15 - 6 = 9 (number of children books)

Answer:

D. y = 76x

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the gradient, by using the gradient formula

rise over run

380 - 228

---------------- <- division sign

   5 - 3

152/2 = 76

Hence y = 76x + c

Find c by subbing points in. I am going to use this as an example (5, 380)

380 = 76(5) + c

380 -380 = c

c = 0

Hence,  y = 76x

The prediction equation y = 5.92x + 119.21 models the median selling price, in thousands of dollars, of new homes in a certain area since 1995. Predict the median selling price in 2015.(Do not separate the numbers

Answers

Answer:

$237.61

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the function to predict the price is

y = 5.92x + 119.21

x= the number of year,

given that we are predicting from 1995-2015

the difference is 20years

So put x=20 in the expression we have

y = 5.92(20) + 119.21

y=118.4+119.21

y=237.61

the median price is $237.61
