At a bookstore used hardcover books sell for $8 each and used softcover books sell for $2 each. You purchase 36 used books and spend $144. How many softcover books do you buy?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let H be the number of harcover, and S the number of softcover books.
We know that:
H+S=36
and $8*(H) + $2*(S) = $144
Rearrange the first: H = 36 - S
Use this definition of H in the second equestion:
$8*(H) + $2*(S) = $144
$8*(36-S) + $2*(S) = $144
$288 - 8S + 2S = $144
-6S = -144
S = 24
This means H = 36 - S is:
H = 36 - 24
H = 12
"You" purchased 24 softcover and 12 hardcover books.
Check the results: 24*2 + 12*8 = 48 + 96 = $144 It

if a >b, then ac> bc true or false?
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
a>b
Let c> 0 then ac>bc because we are multiplying by a positive number
if c<0 then ac < bc because we are multiplying by a negative number we have to flip the inequality symbol
Since we do not know the value of c, we have to go with false

Which is an equation of the line through (0,0) and (2, -3)?
A. y = 3/2x
B. y = 2/3x
C. y = - 2/3x
D. y = -3/2x
The equation of the line passing through the points (0,0) and (2, -3) is y = (-3/2)x. Option D.
To find the equation of the line passing through the points (0,0) and (2, -3), we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of one point on the line, and m is the slope of the line.
Given the points (0,0) and (2, -3), we can calculate the slope as follows:
slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x)
= (-3 - 0) / (2 - 0)
= -3/2
Now that we have the slope, we can substitute one of the given points and the slope into the point-slope form to find the equation of the line. Let's use the point (0,0):
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 0 = (-3/2)(x - 0)
y = (-3/2)x Option D is correct.

Answer:
x=10
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic Equation: (x – 3)^2 = 4
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
(x-3)^2-(49)=0
Step 1:
valuate : (x-3)² = x²-6x+9
Factoring x²-6x-40
The first term is, x²its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -6x its coefficient is -6 .
The last term, "the constant", is -40
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -40 = -40
Step-2 : Find two factors of -40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .
-40 + 1 = -39
-20 + 2 = -18
-10 + 4 = -6 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 4
x²- 10x + 4x - 40
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-10)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (x-10)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+4) • (x-10)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step
1
:
(x + 4) • (x - 10) = 0
STEP
2 :
Theory - Roots of a product
A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
Solve : x+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
x = -4
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
Solve : x-10 = 0
Add 10 to both sides of the equation :
x = 10
Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly
Solving x²-6x-40 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
Parabola, Finding the Vertex:
Find the Vertex of y =x²-6x-40
For any parabola,Ax²+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 3.0000
Plugging into the parabola formula 3.0000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1.0 * 3.00 * 3.00 - 6.0 * 3.00 - 40.0
or y = -49.000
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = x²-6x-40
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={ 3.00}
Vertex at {x,y} = { 3.00,-49.00}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = {-4.00, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = {10.00, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square
Solving x²-6x-40 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Add 40 to both side of the equation :
x2-6x = 40
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 6 , divide by two, giving 3 , and finally square it giving 9
Add 9 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
40 + 9 or, (40/1)+(9/1)
The common denominator of the two fractions is 1 Adding (40/1)+(9/1) gives 49/1
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2-6x+9 = 49
Adding 9 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2-6x+9 =
(x-3) • (x-3) =
(x-3)2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2-6x+9 = 49 and
x2-6x+9 = (x-3)2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x-3)2 = 49
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #3.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
Note that the square root of
(x-3)2 is
(x-3)2/2 =
(x-3)1 =
x-3
Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #3.2.1 we get:
x-3 = √ 49
Add 3 to both sides to obtain:
x = 3 + √ 49
Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
x2 - 6x - 40 = 0
has two solutions:
x = 3 + √ 49
or
x = 3 - √ 49
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
3.3 Solving x2-6x-40 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 1
B = -6
C = -40
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
36 - (-160) =
196
Applying the quadratic formula :
6 ± √ 196
x = —————
2
Can √ 196 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 196 is
2•2•7•7
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 196 = √ 2•2•7•7 =2•7•√ 1 =
± 14 • √ 1 =
± 14
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 6 ± 14) / 2
Two real solutions:
x =(6+√196)/2=3+7= 10.000
or:
x =(6-√196)/2=3-7= -4.000
Two solutions were found :
x = 10
x= -4

The polynomial f(x) = x³-x²+px+q, where p and q are constants, has remainder 8 when divided by (x-1). If (x+1) is factor of f(x), find the values of p and q
Answer:p=-1 and q=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
p=3, q=5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x³-x²+px+q
factor: x+1 = 0 x = -1
(-1)³ - (-1)² + p*(-1) + q = 0
-2 - p + q = 0
p = q-2
(x-1) is factor of f(x) - 8, root x = 1 : f(x) = x³-x²+(q-2)x+q-8
(1)³ - (1)² + (q-2)(1) + q - 8 = 0
q - 2 + q - 8 = 0
2q = 10 q = 5
p = q-2 = 3
check: x³-x²+3x+5 = (x+1)(x²-2x+5)
x³-x²+3x+5 = (x²+3)(x-1) + 8

help, i need 3x+2y=-3 in slope intercept form and ive never been taught how to do it :/
Answer: y = -1.5x - 1.5 or y = -3x/2 -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically you need to know first what slope intercept form is:
y = mx + b
b is the y intercept and m is the slope
so first you have the equation 3x + 2y = -3
you will first subtract 3x from both sides because if you do something to one side of the equal sign, you have to do it to the other side:
3x + 2y - 3x = -3 - 3x
now you have 2y = -3x -3
Then you are going to divide both sides by 2:
2y/2 = -3x/2 -3/2
That gets you to
y = -3x/2 -3/2
or in fraction form, it is
y = -1.5x - 1.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form uses y=mx +b where m is the slope. To convert the equation into slope intercept form you just need to isolate y.
3x+2y=-3
subtract 3x from both sides
2y= -3x-3
divide everything by 2 to isolate y
[tex]y=-\frac{3}{2} x-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-1, -1) and (98, 87).
The question gives us two points, (-1, -1) and (98, 87), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (87 - (-1)) ÷ (98 - (-1))
= (88) ÷ (99)
= ⁸/₉
Checking my answer visually:
Finding the Equation
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. Once we have that equation, we can graph it to see if it passes through the two points. If it does, then we calculated the slope correctly.
⇒ y - (-1) = ⁸/₉ (x - (-1) [using the point (-1, -1)]
y + 1 = ⁸/₉ (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:
√-2.5 is error
1.58113883 i
i the square root of negative one.
Any number times itself is a positive number (or zero), so you can't ever get to a negative number by squaring. Since square roots undo squaring, negative numbers can't have square roots.
Answer:
[tex]1.58\ i[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the square root of -2.5
The [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex] is equal to i so we can say that [tex]\sqrt{(-1)^2}[/tex] is equal to [tex]\sqrt{i^2}[/tex] which is then equal to [tex]i[/tex]. This means that we have [tex]i\sqrt{2.5}[/tex].
We can then take the square root of 2.5 which is rounded to [tex]1.58\ i[/tex]
