Leona [12.6K]1 month ago

Answer:

The solution to your inquiry can be found below

Step-by-step explanation:

First method

                      20 = 5(-3 + x)                   expanding this equation

                     20 = -15 + 5x                    combine like terms

                     5x = 20 + 15

                     5x = 35                            dividing by 5

                     5x/5 = 35/5

                     x = 7

Second method

                     20/5 = 5/5 (-3 + x)          divide both sides by 5

                     4  = -3 + x                        adding 3 to both sides

                     4 + 3 = -3 + 3 + x            simplifying

                     7 = x

Given m with arrow = 3 î + 2 ĵ − 5 k and n with arrow = 6 î − 2 ĵ − 4 k, calculate the vector product m with arrow ✕ n with arro
Zina [12379]
<span>For two vectors u and v, the cross product can be expressed as follows: (u2v3 - u3v2) i + (u3v1 - u1v3) j + (u1v2 - u2v1) k. Consequently, we have m x n: ( (2 *-4) - (-5 * -2) ) i + ( (-5*6) - (3 *-4) )j + ( ( 3*-2) - (2*6))k, which simplifies to ( -8 - 10) i + ( -30 + 12) j + ( -6 - 12) k. Thus, the product of vectors m and n yields -18 i - 18j -18k</span>.

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 can be recognized as a sum of cubes, which factors generally as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²). Therefore:

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9).

By comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, we find that

m = - 3.

What are the eight-digit grid coordinates for benchmark 86 (circled in red)?
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

An eight-digit grid coordinate allows for precision within 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grid coordinates are designed to direct accurately to a specific location by using a map that includes equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines, each assigned numbers to outline a place. The intersection of these vertical and horizontal lines has unique identifiers and creates small sections called grid squares.

The precision increases with the number of digits in the coordinate; an eight-digit designation gives accuracy to the nearest 10 meters.

Sara’s little brother is getting ready to color the picture of a rainbow that Sara drew for him. To make the task easier for her
Zina [12379]
There are seven rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, so 7 possible choices. When two events occur in sequence, multiply their probabilities. With replacement: P(violet)=1/7 and P(orange)=1/7, so P(violet then orange)=1/7 * 1/7 = 1/49. Without replacement: after picking violet, P(orange)=1/6, so P(violet then orange)=1/7 * 1/6 = 1/42.

.580 80 repeating as fraction
Svet_ta [12734]
To start, we will shift the non-repeating segment of the decimal to the left side by dividing by a power of 10.

Then we will assign a variable to represent the value and also shift the repeating segment to the left.

Essentially, the concept here is that we can denote the repeating portion with a variable, let's say "x", and move forward with the calculation;

\bf 0.580\overline{80}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\qquad \textit{now, let's say }x= 5.80\overline{80}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf thus\qquad \begin{array}{llll}&#10;100\cdot x&=&580.80\overline{80}\\&#10;&&575+5.80\overline{80}\\&#10;&&575+x&#10;\end{array}\qquad \implies 100x=575+x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;99x=575\implies x=\cfrac{575}{99}\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{10}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{\frac{10}{1}}\implies \cfrac{575}{99}\cdot \cfrac{1}{10}\implies \cfrac{575}{990}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{115}{198}}

you can verify that using your calculator.
