Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent Adam and B represent Betty

Both Adam and Betty acquired a printer together for $258.

Thus, we can express this as A + B = 258.

It is also stated that Adam contributed $18 less than double what Betty paid.

We can formulate this as:

Adam = 2 × Betty - 18

A = 2B - 18

Substituting "A" into the equation A + B yields:

A + B = 258

2B - 18 + B = 258

3B - 18 = 258

Add 18 to both sides.

3B = 258 + 18

3B = 276

Now, divide both sides by 3 to determine B

B = 276/3 = 92 (Thus, Betty paid $92).

Since their total expenditure was $258, Adam's contribution would be calculated as:

Adam = Total - Betty's share

Adam = 258 - 92 = $166

How many solutions does the equation sin(5x) = 1/2 have on the interval (0, 2PI]
lawyer [9226]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

Sin(5x) = ½

5x = arcSin(½)

5x = 30°

Then,

The general formula for sin is

5θ = n180 + (-1)ⁿθ

Dividing throughout by 5

θ = n•36 + (-1)ⁿ30/5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

The solution range is

0<θ<2π which means 0<θ<360

First solution

When n = 0

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿθ

θ = 0×36 + (-1)^0×6

θ = 6°

When n = 1

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36-6

θ = 30°

When n = 2

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×2 + 6

θ = 78°

When n =3

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×3 - 6

θ = 102°

When n=4

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×4 + 6

θ = 150

When n=5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×5 - 6

θ = 174°

When n = 6

θ = 36n+ (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×6 + 6

θ = 222°

When n = 7

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×7 - 6

θ = 246°

When n =8

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×8 + 6

θ = 294°

When n =9

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×9 - 6

θ = 318°

When n =10

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×10 + 6

θ = 366°

When n = 10 surpasses the θ range

Thus, the solutions range from n =0 to n=9

Therefore, there are 10 solutions within the interval 0<θ<2π

babunello [8402]
Purchasing the first 10 bricks at $4.50 each totals $45. The subsequent 10 bricks at $3.50 each add $35. This uses $80, leaving $20 to buy bricks priced at $2.50 each, allowing for 8 more bricks. Altogether, $100 can buy 28 bricks.

Determine the multiplicity of the roots of the function k(x) = x(x + 2)3(x + 4)2(x − 5)4. 0, -2, -4, 5
zzz [9066]

Answer:

The polynomial expression k(x)=x(x+2)^3(x+4)^2(x-5)^4

To ascertain the multiplicity of 0, -2, -4, 5.

The multiplicity refers to how many times a root appears in a function.

First, identify the function's roots by setting it to zero.

x(x+2)^3(x+4)^2(x-5)^4=0

Thus, the roots are x=0, -2, -4, and 5

To determine the roots' multiplicities:

The factor of x will give a root of x=0 with a multiplicity of 1

likewise,  x=-2 with a multiplicity of 3

x=-4 with a multiplicity of 2

and x=5 with a multiplicity of 4.
