If \(\frac{(C+x)}{x-3}=\frac{x+8}{3}\), which of the following could be an expression of \(C\) in terms of \(x\) ? A) \(3(1+x)\) B) \(x^2+2 x-24\) C) \(\frac{1}{3}(x+6)(x-4)\) D) \(\frac{1}{3}(x-3)(x+8)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer is B) \(x^2+2x-24\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the given equation

The given equation is: \[\frac{(C+x)}{x-3}=\frac{x+8}{3}\]
02

Cross-multiply the equation

Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[(C+x)(3)=(x-3)(x+8)\]
03

Expand both sides of the equation

Expand the equation: \[3C+3x=(x^2-3x+8x-24)\]
04

Simplify the equation

Simplify the equation by combining like terms: \[3C+3x=x^2+5x-24\]
05

Isolate the variable, C

In order to find the expression for C, isolate it on one side of the equation: \[3C=x^2+5x-24-3x\] Now simplify the equation: \[3C=x^2+2x-24\]
06

Match the expression with one of the answer choices

We have found the expression for C: \[3C=x^2+2x-24\] Now, compare this expression with the given answer choices. We can see that the expression matches answer choice B: \(x^2+2x-24\). So, the correct answer is B) \(x^2+2x-24\).

Students in a physics class are studying how the angle at which a projectile is launched on level ground affects the projectile's hang time and horizontal range. Hang time can be calculated using the formula \(t=\frac{2 v \cdot \sin (\theta)}{g}\), where \(t\) is the hang time in seconds, \(v\) is the initial launch velocity, \(\theta\) is the projectile angle with respect to level ground, and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, defined as \(9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\). Horizontal range can be calculated using the formula \(R=\frac{v^2 \sin (2 \theta)}{g}\), where \(R\) is the distance the projectile travels from the launch site, in feet. Which of the following gives the value of \(v\), in terms of \(R, t\), and \(\theta\) ? A) \(v=\frac{t \sin (\theta)}{2 R \sin (\theta)}\) B) \(v=\frac{2 t \sin (\theta)}{R \sin (\theta)}\) C) \(v=\frac{2 R \sin (\theta)}{t \sin (2 \theta)}\) D) \(v=\frac{2 R \sin (2 \theta)}{t \sin (\theta)}\)
