Solve for x:
5x - 1 < 1 - 8x
| x < -\(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
| x < 1 | |
| x < \(\frac{2}{13}\) | |
| x < 4 |
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
5x - 1 < 1 - 8x
5x < 1 - 8x + 1
5x + 8x < 1 + 1
13x < 2
x < \( \frac{2}{13} \)
x < \(\frac{2}{13}\)
The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?
| 168π | |
| 216π | |
| 182π | |
| 60π |
The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:
sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 1)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(5)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 5)π
sa = 50π + 10π
sa = 60π
Simplify (8a)(9ab) + (9a2)(6b).

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
(8a)(9ab) + (9a2)(6b)
(8 x 9)(a x a x b) + (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (54)(a2b)
72a2b + 54a2b
126a2b
Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
y-intercept |
|
slope |
|
x-intercept |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
Solve for c:
c2 + 12c + 20 = 4c + 5
| 1 or -4 | |
| 8 or -1 | |
| -3 or -5 | |
| -5 or -6 |
The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:
c2 + 12c + 20 = 4c + 5
c2 + 12c + 20 - 5 = 4c
c2 + 12c - 4c + 15 = 0
c2 + 8c + 15 = 0
Next, factor the quadratic equation:
c2 + 8c + 15 = 0
(c + 3)(c + 5) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 3) or (c + 5) must equal zero:
If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3
If (c + 5) = 0, c must equal -5
So the solution is that c = -3 or -5
