A network engineer is configuring a load balancer to distribute traffic across two servers. The equation below models the traffic distribution, where tt represents the number of active connections:

5(2t−4)−3t=4(t+2)−(t−8)5(2t - 4) - 3t = 4(t + 2) - (t - 8)

Calculate the required number of active connections, tt, to successfully balance the server loads.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

9
By successfully applying the distributive property on both sides, combining the variable and constant terms, and isolating the variable, the equation perfectly balances when the variable is exactly 9.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the coefficients and negative signs across the parentheses on both sides of the equation.
10t−20−3t=4t+8−t+810t - 20 - 3t = 4t + 8 - t + 8
Distribution removes the parentheses, allowing individual terms to be combined.
2
Combine like terms on each side of the equation.
7t−20=3t+167t - 20 = 3t + 16
Simplifying each side individually makes it easier to balance the equation.
3
Subtract 3t3t from both sides of the equation.
4t−20=164t - 20 = 16
This groups all the variable terms on one side of the equation.
4
Add 20 to both sides and divide by 4.
4t=36  ⟹  t=94t = 36 \implies t = 9
Isolating the variable determines the final numerical solution.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3(a+2000)−4003(a + 2000) - 400

Cevap

The correct expression is 3(a+2000)−4003(a + 2000) - 400.
The correct answer accurately models the sequence of operations described in the text. It uses parentheses to group the addition (a+2000)(a + 2000), multiplies that entire group by 3, and places the subtraction of 400 at the end of the expression to correctly satisfy the 'less than' condition.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Translate 'the sum of the current altitude and two thousand'.
(a+2000)(a + 2000)
The word 'sum' indicates addition between the variable aa and the number 2000. Parentheses are required because subsequent operations apply to this entire result.
2
Apply the multiplier 'triple' to the sum.
3(a+2000)3(a + 2000)
'Triple' means multiplying the entire grouped quantity by 3.
3
Incorporate the phrase 'four hundred feet less than'.
3(a+2000)−4003(a + 2000) - 400
The phrase 'less than' is a turnaround phrase, meaning the 400 must be subtracted from the previously established quantity.

Which of the following represents the correct value of yy?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The correct value of y is 8.
The correct value is 8. To isolate the variable y, the constant 12 must first be added to both sides of the equation, which results in 6y = 48. Finally, dividing both sides by the coefficient 6 gives the solution y = 8.

Cevap: 2y4x2\frac{2y^4}{x^2}

Cevap

2y4x2\frac{2y^4}{x^2}
Applying the power of a product rule to the numerator yields 8x−6y98x^{-6}y^9. Dividing this by the denominator 4x−4y54x^{-4}y^5 involves dividing the coefficients (8/4=28/4 = 2) and subtracting the exponents of like bases. For xx, −6−(−4)=−2-6 - (-4) = -2, and for yy, 9−5=49 - 5 = 4. The resulting expression is 2x−2y42x^{-2}y^4. To represent this with positive exponents, the x−2x^{-2} term is moved to the denominator, giving 2y4x2\frac{2y^4}{x^2}.

Cevap

The correct matches pair each verbal description with its mathematically equivalent equation by carefully translating order of operations, rates, geometric formulas, and grouping words.
Each verbal phrase uniquely defines a single algebraic relationship. By identifying key terms such as 'less than' for reverse-order subtraction, rate contexts for variable multiplication, geometric formulas for perimeter, and grouping words for parentheses, each scenario is mapped accurately to its corresponding equation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first phrase: 'Eight less than five times a number xx is equal to twenty.'
Translates to 5x−8=205x - 8 = 20.
'Five times a number' is 5x5x. The phrase 'less than' dictates that 8 is subtracted from 5x5x.
2
Analyze the second phrase: 'A service charges 8 dollars per hour plus a 5 dollar flat fee. The total cost for xx hours is 20 dollars.'
Translates to 8x+5=208x + 5 = 20.
The variable xx is multiplied by the hourly rate of 8, and the one-time flat fee of 5 is added to this product.
3
Analyze the third phrase: 'The perimeter of a rectangle is 20. Its length is 5 units more than its width, xx.'
Translates to 2x+2(x+5)=202x + 2(x + 5) = 20.
The perimeter formula is 2W+2L2W + 2L. Substituting xx for width and (x+5)(x + 5) for length provides the correct equation.
4
Analyze the fourth phrase: 'Five times the difference of a number xx and eight results in twenty.'
Translates to 5(x−8)=205(x - 8) = 20.
The word 'difference' combined with 'times' indicates that the subtraction (x−8)(x - 8) must occur first, requiring parentheses before multiplying by 5.

Cevap: 3n5m\frac{3n^5}{m}

Cevap

The fully simplified expression is 3n5m\frac{3n^5}{m}.
The correct expression is derived by properly applying the power rules. First, squaring the numerator (3m2n4)2(3m^2n^4)^2 yields 9m4n89m^4n^8. Then, dividing this by the denominator 3m5n33m^5n^3 requires dividing the coefficients (9/3=39/3 = 3) and subtracting the exponents of corresponding variables (4−5=−14-5 = -1 for mm, and 8−3=58-3 = 5 for nn). Finally, rewriting 3m−1n53m^{-1}n^5 with only positive exponents gives 3n5m\frac{3n^5}{m}.

If the equation (3x4yk)2x3y5=9x5y11\frac{(3x^4 y^k)^2}{x^3 y^5} = 9x^5 y^{11} is true for all non-zero values of xx and yy, what is the value of kk?
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8; k=8; k = 8

Cevap

8
By applying the power rule to expand the numerator, the expression becomes 9x8y2k9x^8 y^{2k}. Using the quotient rule to divide these terms by the denominator x3y5x^3 y^5, the expression simplifies to 9x5y2k−59x^5 y^{2k-5}. Equating this final simplified form to the given result 9x5y119x^5 y^{11}, we can isolate the exponent of yy to set up the equation 2k−5=112k - 5 = 11. Solving this equation gives k=8k = 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the power of a product and power of a power rules to the numerator.
(3x4yk)2=32(x4)2(yk)2=9x8y2k(3x^4 y^k)^2 = 3^2 (x^4)^2 (y^k)^2 = 9x^8 y^{2k}
When a product is raised to a power, each factor inside the parentheses must be individually raised to that power by multiplying the exponents.
2
Substitute the expanded numerator back into the fraction and apply the quotient rule.
9x8y2kx3y5=9x8−3y2k−5=9x5y2k−5\frac{9x^8 y^{2k}}{x^3 y^5} = 9 x^{8-3} y^{2k-5} = 9x^5 y^{2k-5}
When dividing algebraic terms with the same base, subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.
3
Equate the simplified exponent of yy to the exponent of yy on the right side of the original equation.
2k−5=112k - 5 = 11
Because the expressions are equivalent and their coefficients and xx-terms already match, their yy-exponents must be strictly equal.
4
Solve the resulting linear equation for kk.
2k=16→k=82k = 16 \rightarrow k = 8
Adding 5 to both sides and then dividing by 2 isolates the variable kk.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Substitute the given value for pp into the first term.
(−2)3=−8(-2)^3 = -8
Replacing the variable pp with −2-2 evaluates the exponent. A negative base raised to an odd power remains negative.
2
Substitute the given value for qq into the second term.
6(3)=186(3) = 18
Replacing the variable qq with 33 completes the multiplication required for the second term.
3
Combine the evaluated terms according to the original expression.
−8−18=−26-8 - 18 = -26
Following the original expression p3−6qp^3 - 6q, we subtract the value of the second term from the first term.
