Guest:
what is negative 5 (1/3) divided by 1.5

first, 1.5 = 3/2
do you mean

-5 * 1/3 divided by 1.5
= -5/3 divided by 3/2
= -5/3 * 2/3
= -10/9
= - 1and 1/9
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
or do you mean

[5 and 1/3 ] divided by 1.5 [note: 5 and 1/3 = 15/3 + 1/3 = 16/3]
= 16/3 divided by 3/2
= 16/3 * 2/3
= 32/9
=3 and 5/9

nsambarr:
x+3/2=15

You just need to get rid of 3/2 from the LHSide.

You do this by taking it away.

x+3/2-3/2 = 15 - 3/2

Now 3/2 ia 1 and a half (or 1.5) Just as our guest told you. so

x = 15 - one and a half
x = 14 - a half
x = 13 and 1/2 (or 13.5)

LilyMariexxoo:
If the temperature outside is 50°F, what is it in degrees Celsius?
Equation: C = 5/9(F-32)

Yes,
Just REPLACE the F with 50
that is

C = 5/9(50-32)

then work it out.

Terry:
calculate 10 factorial

Walt gave you a good answer.

there is also a factorial button on your calculator.

It looks like ! you will probably need to press 'shift' or '2nd' to bring it up.

on my calc if i want 5! i press

'shift' x! 5 =
and the answer is 120

IDK:
simplify the given expression.
14x(4xy^14)(-4x^-10y7)

I got a different answer from you Walt. (plus, it is easier to read if you use the superscript button (sup) when you do indice questions )

14x(4xy^14)(-4x^-10y7)

= 14 * 4 * -4 * x * x * x ^-10 * y ¹⁴ * y ⁷

= -224 x ^-8 y ²¹

= -224 y ²¹ / x ⁸

I haven't looked at your answer properly, maybe mine is the one that is wrong.

masoud:
how can i enter angle 20 deg ,30 min

Hi Masoud and Special,

That was a good lesson that you just gave Masoud and it is stuff he needs to know but entering an angle into the calc can be much easier than that.

Make sure your calc is in degrees mode - there will be a little D at the toop of the screen.

now just press
20, degrees button, 30, degrees button (if you want to enter 25 seconds, then you press 25 degrees button again)

X+3/2=15 = X+1.5
X=15-1.5=13.5
X=13.5

OR

(X+3)/2=15
=(x/2)+1.5=
X=2*(15-1.5)=2*13.5=27
X=27

Hi tannawirsch,

1. An unknown artist painting was worth $85 in 1978. As the artist grew in popularity, the value of this painting grew in value at the rate of 9% per year.
A) Write an equation to represent the value (y) in dollars of the painting as a function of the number of years (c) since 1978?

y=85(1+0.09) ^c

Now you think about why this is so. What will it be worth after 1 year, after 2 years, what is the pattern.

2. Caffeine found in pop, coffee, and tea; travels in your bloodstream after you consume it. After you drink a beverage that contains caffeine, 13% of the caffeine in your bloodstream is removed every hour. *Initially 100% is present, so A=100.
A) Write an equation to represent the percent of the caffeine (y) that remains in your bloodstream (x) hours after you drink it?

y=(1-0.13) ^x

jake ensign:
My question says, "write a quadratic equation that has root -7 and 6 ? "

That's easy
y=(x+7)(x-6)
or
y=13(x+7)(x-6)
or
y= -12(x+7)(x-6)

Do you get the common theme here.

approximate any solutions to two decimal places.

I read your question wrong. I thought you had to estimate all of them and i thought that was a bit over the top.
Anyway you will need to use newton's method of approximating roots.
Show me what you can do and we'll take it from there (I haven't actually tried to do it yet)
I did a graph for you so you will at least know what you are trying to find.

Nobody Special:
Wow, this is my third post today... I am truly pathetic

My problem is:

If 10^a = 500 , then in terms of a, log(5) = ?

Please don't give me the answer. I've been having trouble with problems like these, so if whoever answers can show me how to get the answer, that would be awesome!

Thanks, and sorry for hogging the forum.

Hi Special,
You are not hogging the forum. You are just using it well. Besides, there seems to be lots of people answering today which is really great. (and everyone needs questions to answer)
now for your question.
10 ^a = 500

10 ^a = 5 x 100

10 ^a = 5 x 10 ²

10 ^a / 10 ² = 5

10 ^(a-2) = 5

log 10 ^(a-2) =log 5

log 5 = log 10 ^(a-2)

log 5 = (a-2) log 10

log 5 = (a-2) x 1 (assuming that the base is 10)

log 5 = a-2

If there is anything you don't understand, just ask. (as many times as you want)

john:
8 - 3[-2(2 - 5) - 4(8 - 6)]

Why is this causing you a problem John?

You just do what is in the inside brackets first and work out from there.
When there is nothing between a number and a bracket, there is really an invisable multiply sign that you will need to put in. Is that what your problems was?
so the first line is
= 8 - 3 x [-2 x -3 - 4 x 2]

now, multiply is more important than subtract. I mean, you multiply before you subtract.
And, when you multiply pos and neg numbers just remember that if the signs are the same, the answer is postitive and if the signs are different the answer is negative.
So the next line will be
=8 - 3 x [6-8]

You see if you can finish it.

Guest:
What is the perimeter of an isoscolese trapezoid called T R A P if P T is 27.5m and T R is 58.8m and the length of the bisector of segment R A and segment T P is 47.6?

I had to make assumptions about which sides you were referring to but my diagram illustrates my assumptions. It might be different from what you intended.

This is what I think.

PA / 47.6 = 47.6 / 58.8

PA = 47.6 ² / 58.8

PA = 38.53 repeater = approx 38.53m

Therefore the perimeter is 58.7m + 27.5m + 38.53m + 27.5m

If you need to justify any of this it will require more work.

Excellent work Walt.

I did think of this answer yesterday but I had a little nagging doubt in my brain. I don't think that doubt was justified.
I believe your answer is completely correct.

I'll tell you what I was thinking.
Why does the smallest common factor of 2 whole numbers have to be a whole number?
I think it does, I can't think of any example where it is not, but, this question just got me thinking about it.

Hi cassie

Sin(11)=500/h

Sin(11)/500=1/h

h=500/sin(11)

When I did this on the calculator I got 2620 feet. Hope this helps.

Volume is (b*h)/3
b=pi*3.6^2
h=3.6

Solve for b then multiply it by h and divide all of it by 3 and you get your answer.

Well if you have the formula just plug in 50 for the F and solve.

krisobot8:
4% van 1000

Hi krisobot8,

For the benefit of others, i will spell out that this question is in Dutch, it is just 4% of 1000

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

of is multiply

4% of 1000 = 0.04 x 1000 = 40
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo krisobot8,

Ten behoeve van anderen, zal ik spellen uit dat deze vraag is in het Nederlands, het is slechts 4% van 1000

4% = 4/100 = 0,04

voor vermenigvuldigen is

4% van 1000 = 0,04 x 1000 = 40

anon:
what do I press to get tangent inverse 1 in the scientific calculator?

It will probably help if you know that inverse tan (tan ^-1 ) is the same thing as arctan (atan)

Just press 2nd atan 1 =

There is a toggle button at the bottom to set for degrees or radians.

It's not relevant for your problem but I don't know if this calculator will convert decimal degrees into degrees, minutes and seconds. I can't see a button for it.
