@Vocaloid

Ninjoy:

Hi there, Have you attempted to answer this? What have you come up with?

Nicole:

Im thinking A

Ninjoy:

That's right

Nicole:

Ohh okay lol how about this: http://prntscr.com/mcaovh having a bit trouble with this one

Ninjoy:

@Hero @Vocaloid @Ultrilliam

Nicole:

@SmokeyBrown anyone?? loll

dude:

You can just change the order that they are being multiplied So the decimals multiplied by each other and the exponents as well (remember the same base exponents rule) \(b^n\cdot b^m=b^{n+m}\)

Nicole:

so C?

Nicole:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

yeah

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcb88n

Vocaloid:

starting value is 2 and the growth factor is 3 since the values are tripling each time try to think of how to express this as an exponential function

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcb98d

Vocaloid:

really need to start remembering these, but remember, translating up by 4 means adding 4 to the entire function

Nicole:

Ohh okay got it so it would be X

Nicole:

C*

Vocaloid:

yes

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbakx

Vocaloid:

B is the growth factor, since it's the thing being raised to x in interest functions the growth factor is 1 + (the interest rate as a decimal)

Nicole:

so 1.3 +1 ?

Vocaloid:

"interest rate as a decimal" so convert 1.3% to a decimal first

Nicole:

0.013

Vocaloid:

good, so 1 + 0.013 is your B-term

Nicole:

plus 1 so C

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbc85

Vocaloid:

ok, so for these problems you want to factor out as many perfect squares as you can so for 12, you can re-write this as 4*3 and factor out sqrt(4) which is 2, leaving sqrt(3) as part of the solution repeat this logic for the x and y terms

Nicole:

hmm if its leaving sqrt(3), then wouldnt it be B?

Vocaloid:

yeah

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbdfo

Vocaloid:

for both 75 and 12 factor out as many perfect squares as you can. as a hint you should end up with ___ * sqrt(3) for both of them, where the coefficient goes into the blank

Vocaloid:

after that you'll have two like terms

Nicole:

but when you simplify it wouldnt it be \[3\sqrt{3}\]

Vocaloid:

oh whoops I didn't see you already chose a solution yeah question 4 is right, for question 5 check again, the exponent goes in the numerator and the root goes in the denominator

Nicole:

oh so A

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbfqe

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548467330543:dw|

Vocaloid:

just pick one point to be your (x1,y1) and the other one to be your (x2,y2) it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent

Nicole:

so (7,9) and (-3,2)

Vocaloid:

yes then assign your x1, y1, etc. and plug them into the distance formula

Nicole:

so \[d=\sqrt{(-3-7)^2+(2-9)^2}\]

Nicole:

like that?

Vocaloid:

ah, no, be careful about what you're plugging in if (x1,y1) = (7,-3) and (x2,y2) = (9,2) then (x2-x1) = (9-7) and (y2-y1) = (2- (-3))

Nicole:

Ohhh okay , then what do I do

Vocaloid:

continue plugging them into the formula

Vocaloid:

x1 = 7 y1 = -3 x2 = 9 y2 = 2

Nicole:

\[d=\sqrt{(9-7)+(2- (-3)}\] like this?

Vocaloid:

you forgot the exponents but you're on the right track

Vocaloid:

if you look @ the formula there are squares around the parentheses

Nicole:

\[d=\sqrt{(9-7)^2+(2- (-3)^2}\] this?

Vocaloid:

almost just stick a closed parentheses after (-3) and then evaluate that

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nicole \[d=\sqrt{(9-7)^2+(2- (-3))^2}\] should do it

Nicole:

so i have to solve that?

Vocaloid:

yes, just use order of operations

Nicole:

\[\sqrt{29}\] is the answer so C

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcblh6

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548468630614:dw|

Nicole:

I solved it and got B? is it correct?

Vocaloid:

yes

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbmil

Vocaloid:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse

Vocaloid:

nvm the answer you chose is correct

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbn11

Vocaloid:

40 is good for 41 just plug in both solutions, one of them will be valid and the other extraneous one won't work when you plug it back into the original problem

Nicole:

Hmm im thinking C but im really not that sure

Vocaloid:

sqrt(x+5) = x -1 notice how x = -1 gives us sqrt(-1+5) = -2 square roots of real #'s cannot be negative making x = -1 the extraneous one

Nicole:

is x=4 extraneous too?

Vocaloid:

try plugging it in and see if both sides are equal or not.

Nicole:

No its not its valid so D

Nicole:

or wait

Vocaloid:

sqrt(x+5) = x - 1 if x = 4 sqrt(4+5) = 4 - 1 both sides are equal to 3. so x = 4 is a valid solution.

Nicole:

Yeah thats what I got too so D

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbpqz

Vocaloid:

they give you the formula for d and they give you A so just plug A into the formula.

Nicole:

d=16 so A

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbt2i

Vocaloid:

the usual approach with these types of problems is to set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.

Nicole:

how can I set the denominator equal to 0?

Vocaloid:

copy the denominator write an equals sign then put 0 on the end

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbvp8

Vocaloid:

try 46 again, there's no way to get (x+6)^2 because there's only one place where (x+6) shows up

Nicole:

hmm Im stuck in between B and C

Vocaloid:

what do you get when you divide 3x^2/5x?

Nicole:

3x/5

Vocaloid:

good so you should have x somewhere in the numerator

Nicole:

oh so C

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbxkm

Vocaloid:

both are good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mcbytv last two for today loll

Vocaloid:

both of the denominators have x so leave that alone just find the LCM of 5 and 7

Vocaloid:

for question 50 just cross multiply

Nicole:

for 49 its, 35 so A? and 50 its A?

Vocaloid:

don't forget the x, ---> 35x

Vocaloid:

50 is good

Nicole:

Okay thank you so much voca! Goodnight
