What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6) – 8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1) true? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

  3(x-6) -8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1)

  3x -18 -8x = -2 +10x +5 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -21 = 15x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5x -3 and collect terms

  x = -21/15 = -7/5

  x = -1.4

__

Check

  3(-1.4 -6) -8(-1.4) = -2 +5(2(-1.4) +1) . . . substitute for x

  3(-7.4) +11.2 = -2 +5(-2.8 +1)

  -22.2 +11.2 = -2 +5(-1.8)

  -11 = -2 -9 . . . . . true

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x)^{-1}=-x+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like the function is f(x)=-x+5.

To find the inverse, first replace f(x) with y.

y=-x+5

Switch the y and x.

x=-y+5.

Solve for y.

x-5=-y

-x+5=y

[tex]f(x)^{-1}=-x+5[/tex]

You are designing a metal sculpture that will be placed in front of your school. You sketch an initial design
with a scale of 1 cm = 2 feet. The design shows that the sculpture has a length of 8 feet.
After reviewing your design, the principal asks you to use the same drawing, but change the scale to 1 cm
= 5 feet.
What will be the length of the sculpture using the new scale?

A. 8 feet
B. 12 feet
C. 15 feet
D. 20 feet

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the length of the sculpture using the new scale is given by:

D. 20 feet.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The initial scale is of 1 cm = 2 feet, with a sculpture of 8 feet, hence the length of the drawing is given by:

l = 8/2 = 4 cm.

For the new scale, 1 cm = 5 feet, and you keep the drawing of 4 cm, hence the length of the sculpture is given by:

l = 4 x 5 = 20 feet.

Hence option D is correct.

suppose Point G represents a duck flying over a Lake, point H and J represent two ducks swimming on the lake. Which is a true statement?

Answers

Answer:

Choice D. There is exactly one plane that contains the three ducks: [tex]\sf G[/tex], [tex]\sf H[/tex], and [tex]\sf J[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The three points [tex]\sf G[/tex], [tex]\sf H[/tex], and [tex]\sf J[/tex] are distinct since each of the three points represents a different duck.

There's only one line through two distinct points in a 2D cartesian plane.

Likewise, given two distinct points ([tex]\sf G[/tex] and [tex]\sf J[/tex]) in a 3D space, there would be only one line two the two points.

Assume that plane [tex]\sf L[/tex] represents the plane that contains the surface of the lake.

A line is in a plane if and only if all points on that line are in the said plane.

Point [tex]\sf G[/tex] is on the line that contains [tex]\sf G\![/tex] and [tex]\sf H[/tex]. However, since point [tex]\!\sf G[/tex] denotes the flying duck, this point would not be in [tex]\sf L[/tex] (the plane that contains the surface of the lake.)

Hence, the line that contains [tex]\sf G\![/tex] and [tex]\sf H\![/tex] would not be in plane [tex]\sf L\![/tex].

Given three distinct points in a 3D space, there would be exactly one plane that contains the three points.

Hence, three points in a 3D space would not be non-coplanar.

In this question, point [tex]\sf G[/tex], [tex]\sf H[/tex], and [tex]\sf J[/tex] are all distinct. Hence, there would be exactly one plane that contains these three points.

After a grueling year of work, you (Padcha) decide you need absolute peace and quiet for about a month (February). You visit San Pedro de Atacama in the Atacama dessert of Chile, one of the most pristine and beautiful spots on earth. Every morning you have an espresso with a Swiss veterinarian, Dieter, that has retired there and maintains a small hotel and cafe. After week 2 of peace and quiet you become restless for a more meaningful existence.
In a conversation Dieter you learn that he also raises Llama's, Alpacas, and Vicuñas (all members of the Camel Family) for their wool. The conversation follow--
Dieter: "Padcha, I have this problem related to the nutrition of my animals. I know the nutritional content of the feeds I have available (see the Daily Nutritional Requirements for Animals table). I also know the cost of a kilogram of each feed (see table). I would love to have a way of selecting a mix of Corn, Tankage, and Alfalfa that minimizes my daily cost of providing good nutrition for my animals."
Padcha: "Dieter, I think I might be able to help. In LP optimization, there is a problem that is called the nutrition problem. Of course, it is not only about nutrition, it's also about allocating available resources, in an optimal way (minimal cost), to satisfy requirements. You can image, that there are a lot of problems like that in business. A typical constraint, say for carbohydrates, would read-- the number of kilos of Corn times 90, plus the number of kilos of Tankage times 20, plus the number of kilos of Alfalfa times 40 must equal a minimum 200 units of carbohydrates. The constraint shows how we use the resources/decision variables (kilos of Corn, etc.) to satisfy nutritional needs.
Daily Nutritional Requirements for Animals
Kg. Corn KG. Tankage Kg. Alfalfa Min. Daily Reqs.
Carbohydrates 90 20 40 200
Protein 30 80 60 180
Vitamins 10 20 60 150
$Cost of feed/Kg. 35 30 25
a) What is the LP for the nutrition problem?
b) Solve the problem using Solver. What is the value of the optimal solution? What is the number of kilos of Corn, Tankage, and Alfalfa? (Place the Answer Report below)
c) What if the requirements were raised by 1 unit for carbohydrates (from 200 to 201). Without re-solving the problem, what is the new optimal solution value and the units of carbohydrates? (Provide the logic for your answer.)
d) What is the allowable range of values for the coefficient of the Tankage in the objective function, for which a change of the optimal decision variables will not occur?

Answers

Answer:

x is 2 and -8

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {x}^{2} + 6x - 16 = 0[/tex]

general equation

[tex] {ax}^{2} + (sum)x + product = 0[/tex]

sum is 6, product is -16

for completing squares,

first divide the sum by 2:

[tex] = \frac{6}{2} = 3[/tex]

add the square of the result on (x² + 6x) and subtract it from the product:

[tex] ( {x}^{2} + 6x + {3}^{2} ) - 16 - {3}^{2} = 0 \\ {(x + 3)}^{2} - 25 = 0 \\ {(x + 3)}^{2} = 25[/tex]

take square root:

[tex] \sqrt{ {(x + 3)}^{2} } = \sqrt{25 } \\ x + 3 = ±5 \\ x = ±5 - 3[/tex]

x is either: 5-3 or -5-3

Linear Equations

Linear equations are polynomial equations that have a degree of 1.

ax + b = 0

Solving for solutions for this type of equation will require us to isolate the unknown variable on one side of the equation. Master your craft in solving linear equations here.

Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations are polynomial equations with a degree of 2.

ax2 + bx + c = 0

There are different ways we can solve quadratic equations – it mostly depends on the form of the quadratic expression on the right-hand side.

We can factor quadratic expressions and apply the zero-property.

Applying special algebraic properties such as the difference of two squares, perfect square trinomial properties, and completing the square.

Lastly, we can also use the quadratic formula to find the zeroes of quadratic equations.

Polynomial Equations (with a degree of 3 or higher)

Here’s the exciting part: what if we need to find the zeros of the solutions of a polynomial equation with degrees that are 3 or higher?

Some cubic and quartic equations can be factored by grouping and be reduced to equations with a smaller degree. There are times, however, that finding the actual factors can be challenging.

An open box is to be made from a square piece of cardboard, 36 inches by 36 inches, by removing a small square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the sides. What are the dimensions of the box of greatest volume that can be constructed in this way?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  24 in square by 6 in deep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the side of the square cut from each corner. Then the dimensions of the base of the box are 36-2x in each direction. The total volume of the box is ...

  V = LWH = (36 -2x)(36 -2x)x = x(4x² -144x +1296)

The volume will be a maximum where dV/dx = 0.

  dV/dx = 12x^2 -288x +1296 = 0

  x² -24x +108 = 0 . . . . divide by 12

  (x -6)(x -18) = 0 . . . . . factor

  x = 6 or 18 . . . . . . x = 18 gives a minimum volume; we want x = 6

Then the dimensions are 36 -2(6) = 24 inches square by 6 inches deep.
