Answer:
v = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will need to solve it step-by-step:
(4v − 9)(1 + v) = 0
Next, you need to simplify both sides of the equation:
4v(2) − 5v − 9 = 0
Now, factor the left side of equation:
(4v − 9)(v + 1) = 0
The last thing you need to do is to set all of the factors to equal to zero:
4v − 9 = 0 or v + 1 = 0
So, that means that you answer:
v=9/4 or in your case, v = −1

1.)Mr. Williams weighs 300 pounds. He went on the Subway diet and was guaranteed to lose 5 pounds per week. Write an equation that could be used to find how many weeks, w, it would take for him to weigh 150 pounds.
How many weeks would it take?
2.)The total bill for repairing Troy’s car was $527.63. He paid $210 for parts and the rest of the bill was labor. The technicians that fixed his car charge $52 per hour. Write an equation that could be used to find, t, the length of time it took to fix the car.
How long did it take to get the car fixed?
3.)You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $7 per week and she is saving $5 per week. How long will it take before you and your sister have the same amount of money? Write an equation and solve.(HINT: THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE THE SAME VARIABLE ON BOTH SIDES)
what is the equation and solution ?
4.)SAT Prep If the length of a rectangular parking lot is 3 times its width and its perimeter is 840 yards, what is the length of the parking lot, in yards?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Since he can lose 5 pounds per week, this is a linear rate. The weight is decreasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
n = number of terms(weeks)
d = common difference(5 pounds)
a= first term(300 pounds)
The equation that could be used to find how many weeks, w, it would take for him to weigh 150 pounds would be
150 = 300 + (w - 1)5
150 - 300 = 5w - 5
- 150 + 5 = 5w
w = 145/5 = 29 weeks
2) t represents the number of hours used to fix the car. The cost of t hours is 52t. Total amount paid is 210 + 52t. The equation that could be used to find, t, the length of time it took to fix the car is
210 + 52t = 527.23
3) 52t = 527.23 - 210 = 317.23
t = 317.23/52
t = 6 hours
3) Let x represent the time it will take before you and your sister have the same amount of money. The amount that you would have in x weeks is 60 + 7x
The amount that you sister will have in x weeks is 120 + 5x. The equation would be
60 + 7x = 120 + 5x
7x - 5x = 120 - 60
2x = 60
x = 60/2 = 30 weeks
4) let L represent the length of the parking lot.
let W represent the width of the parking lot.
If the length of a rectangular parking lot is 3 times its width, it means that
L = 3W
Its perimeter is 840 yards. It means that
2(L + W) = 840
L + W = 840/2 = 420
Substituting, it becomes
3W + W = 420
4W = 420
W = 420/4 = 105
L = 3 × 105 = 315
Length = 315 yards

[tex]V = \pi r^{2} h ...... (1)[/tex]
Where [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of base of cylinder
and [tex]h[/tex] is the height of cylinder
V = 180 cubic meters

What is the y-value when x equals -16?
y = -200 - 12(x)
Can someone help me with my homework please!
Answer:
(-1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached,
Ordered pair representing point P is (3, 4) [parallel to y-axis]
If this point has been reflected across a line x = 1
New point after reflection across x = 1 will be,
P(3, 4) → P'(-1, 4)
Since point P and P' will be equidistant from the line (x = 1), so the x ordinate of P' will be = 3 - 4 = -1
And y-ordinates of point P' will be same as y = 4

Which graph is defined by f(x) = |x2 − x − 2|? A. graph A B. graph B C. graph C D. graph D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When the question comes with answer choices, please share them. In this case it sounds like there were four graphs from which to choose.
f(x) = |x^2 − x − 2| is always zero or greater, due to the absolute value function.
x^2 − x − 2 = 0 factors to (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0, so the zeros of f(x) are {-1, 2}.
Plot x-intercepts {-1, 2}. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 1/2, which is precisely halfway between the x-intercepts. If we now choose the test number x = 0, we find the value of f(0) to be |-2}, which tells us that the y-intercept is (0, |-2|), or (0, 2), so we have a parabolic curve opening down between x = -1 and x = 2 and touching (but not crossing) the x-axis at those x-values. To the left of x = -1 the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant II; to the right of x = 2, the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant I.
The graph for the given function is plotted below.
What is the function?Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.
The given function is f(x)=|x²-x-2|.
Graph the absolute value using the vertex and a few selected points.

Neglecting air resistance, the distance s(t) in feet traveled by a freely falling object is given by the function s(t)=16t squared, where t is time in seconds. The height of a certain tower is 986 feet. How long would it take an object to fall to the ground from the top of the building?
Answer: t = 7.85seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Height of tower = 986 Feets
Function s(t) = 16t^2
To find the time t 8 in Seconds taken for an object to fall to the ground from the top of the building
16t^2 = 986
t^2 = 986/16
t ^2 = 61.625
Take the square root of both sides
t = sqrt(61.625)
t = 7.85seconds
Answer:
7.85sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
s(t)=16t squared, where t is time in seconds. The height of a certain tower is 986 feet.
s(t) = 16t²
so when s = 986feet
16t² = 986 feet
t² = 986 / 16
t² = 61.625
t = √61.625
t= 7.85 seconds

Cancelling (x-1)
=> [tex]\frac{1}{5(x-1)}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{1}{5x-5}[/tex]
The simplified form of the expression (x-1)/5(x-1)² is 1/(5x-5).
The given expression is (x-1)/5(x-1)²
To simplify the expression (x-1)/5(x-1)², we can first cancel out the common factor of (x-1) in the numerator and denominator:
(x-1)/(5(x-1)²) = 1/[5(x-1)]
The expression simplifies to 1 divided by 5 times (x-1), which can be written as:
1/(5x-5)
So, the simplified form of (x-1)/[5(x-1)²] is 1/(5x-5).

Answer:
a) 1 and 7 = congruent
b) 2 and 5 = supplementary
c) 4 and 6 = congruent
d) 3 and 8 = supplementary
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent angles are the same, but in different forms. So they might be flipped around, but they are still the same angle and they have the same number of degrees.
Supplementary angles are 2 angles that add up to 180 degrees.
For example, you know that 2 + 3 = 180 degrees, because its sitting on a straight line, and so they are supplementary. They have been cut unevenly which makes 2>3. Same goes for all the other pairs of angles. Using this, you can determine which ones are supplementary and congruent.
So, even though they haven't given you exact values for each of the angles, just by looking at the shape, you can often tell very easily what kind they are:
*acute angles = angles that are less than 90 degrees
*obtuse angles = angles more than 90 degrees, but less than 180 degrees.
a) 1 and 7 have the same shape. Both are acute angles, just flipped upside down.
b) 2 and 5 are complementary. 5 is an acute angle, like 1 and 7. 2 is an obtuse angle, like 6 and 8. If you look at it closely, you can tell that they add up to 180 degrees.
c) 4 and 6 are congruent. They are both obtuse angles.
d) 3 and 8 are supplementary. 3 is an acute angle and 8 is obtuse.

Find the probability that that between 3,000 will be burned in any given year
z = (x-μ)/σ,
x = observed value = 3000
μ = mean or average value = 4500
σ = Standard deviation = 780
z = (3000- 4500)/780
z = -1.92308
Step 2
Find the probability that that between 4,800 will be burned in any given year
z = (x-μ)/σ,
x = observed value = 4800
μ = mean or average value = 4500
σ = Standard deviation = 780
z = (4800- 4500)/780
z =0.38462
Step 3
Using the Z score normal distribution table:
= P(Z <0.38462) - P(Z < - 1.92308)
= P(-1.92308 < Z < 0.38462)
Using the Z score normal distribution table:
P(z) -1.92308 = 0.02743
P(z) 0.38462 = 0.64803
Therefore, the probability that between 3,000 and 4,800 acres will be burned in any given year
0.64803 - 0.02743
= 0.6206
Answer: 0.6225
Step-by-step explanation:
$P\left(3,000<X<4,800\right)=0.6225
The mean is μ=4500 and the standard deviation is σ=780. Because the probability between two values is to be calculated, subtract the probability of the lower value from the higher value. In this case, you have to use the NORMDIST function twice.
1. Open Excel and click on any empty cell. Click Insert function, fx.
2. Search for NORMDIST in the search for a function dialog box and click GO.
3. Make sure NORMDIST is on top in select a function. Then click OK.
4. In the function arguments of the NORMDIST function, enter 4800 for X, 4500 for mean, 780 for Standard_dev, and TRUE for Cumulative, all for the higher value of X. Thus, the answer, rounded to four decimal places, is 0.6497.
5. Click on any other empty cell. Click Insert function, fx.
6. Search for NORMDIST in the search for a function dialog box and click GO.
7. Make sure NORMDIST is on top in select a function. Then click OK.
8. In the function arguments of the NORMDIST function, enter 3000 for X, 4500 for mean, 780 for Standard_dev, and TRUE for Cumulative, all for the lower value of X. Thus, the answer, rounded to four decimal places, is 0.0272.
Now subtract: 0.6497−0.0272=0.6225. Thus, the probability that between 3,000 and 4,800 acres will be burned in any given year is 0.6225.
