Solve the following equation |2x+3|+|x-2|=6x

Answers

Answer 1

Recall the definition of absolute value:

• |x| = x if x ≥ 0

• |x| = -x if x < 0

So you need to consider 4 different cases (2 absolute value expressions with 2 possible cases each).

(i) Suppose 2x + 3 < 0 and x - 2 < 0. The first inequality says x < -3/2 and the second says x < 2, so ultimately x < -3/2. Then

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

-(2x + 3) - (x - 2) = 6x

-2x - 3 - x + 2 = 6x

-3x - 1 = 6x

9x = -1

x = -1/9

But -1/9 is not smaller than -3/2, so this case provides no valid solution.

(ii) Suppose 2x + 3 ≥ 0 and x - 2 < 0. Then x ≥ -3/2 and x < 2, or -3/2 ≤ x < 2. Under this condition,

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

(2x + 3) - (x - 2) = 6x

2x + 3 - x + 2 = 6x

x + 5 = 6x

5x = 5

x = 1

This solution is valid because it does fall in the interval -3/2 ≤ x < 2.

(iii) Suppose 2x + 3 < 0 and x - 2 ≥ 0. Then x < -3/2 or x ≥ 2. So

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

-(2x + 3) + (x - 2) = 6x

-2x - 3 + x - 2 = 6x

-x - 5 = 6x

7x = -5

x = -5/7

This isn't a valid solution, because neither -5/7 < -3/2 nor -5/7 ≥ 2 are true.

(iv) Suppose 2x + 3 ≥ 0 and x - 2 ≥ 0. Then x ≥ -3/2 and x ≥ 2, or simply x ≥ 2.

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

(2x + 3) + (x - 2) = 6x

2x + 3 + x - 2 = 6x

3x + 1 = 6x

3x = 1

x = 1/3

This is yet another invalid solution since 1/3 is smaller than 2.

So there is one solution at x = 1.

Alright, let's do some math!

We know that the constant is = 25, and that for every 1 year it grows by 80.

So, we can create the formula h= 80y+25. This is a really simple way of saying that h is equal to 80 x the value of y + the base of 25.

Now we just need to plug in the numbers and we will get our answers!

y=5    80(5)+25= 425

y=7    80(7)+25= 585

y=9    80(9)+25= 745

y=10    80(10)+25= 825

28.3 ft
48.5 ft
56.8 ft

Answers

Answer: C. 48.5

Explanation:

When asked to find the perimeter of any regular hexagon given the area and apothem, you may apply the formula
a = 1/2 x a1 x p, where a is the area, a1 is the apothem, and p is of course the perimeter.

1) 169.74 = 1/2 x 7 x p
2) 169.74 x 2 = 7 x p
3) 339.48/7 = p
4) p = 48.497
5) ≈ 48.5

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore , x = -1

substituting x = -1 in 5x³ + 4x² +3x-4a

5(-1)³ + 4(-1)² + 3(-1) - 4a. = 8

-5 + 4 -3 - 4a = 8

-8 + 4 -4a = 8

-4 - 4a = 8

shifting -4 from LHS to RHS

-4a = 8+4

-4a = 12

Answers

Answer:

A) (-8, -16)

B) (0, 48)

C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the vertex is the minimum y value.

extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.

y = x² + 16x + 48

y' = 2x + 16 = 0

2x = -16

x = -8

so, the vertex is at x=-8.

the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16

B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.

C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.

the solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case here

a=1

b=16

c=48

x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)

x1 = -8 + 4 = -4

x2 = -8 - 4 = -12

so the x- intercepts are (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Verify the identity.

[tex]cot (x-\frac{\pi }{2})=-tan[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you meant to write

cot (x-π//2) = - tan x

the identity is TRUE because,

- you can graph cot (x-π//2)  and  - tan x, and see that the graphs overlap

OR

-you solve for cot (x-π/2)

useful to know is that :

cot x=1/tan x, tan x = sin x/cos x,  

cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x,

cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = 1/tan (x-π/2) , yet tangent is sin x/cos x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (x-π/2) /sin (x-π/2) , factor -1

cot (x-π/2) = cos -(π/2-x) /sin -(π/2-x),  use facts: cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (π/2-x) / -sin (π/2-x), use cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = sin x / -cos x , again sin x /cos x = tan x

cot (x-π/2) = -tan x

Answers

Answer: x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we first need to understand the figure. We know TV and RS are parallel lines. If we extend TV to the left, we get a straight line parallel to RS. By Alternate Interior Angles, We know ∠R is equivalent to ∠T on the very left. Therefore, we can set it equal to 180° and solve.

x+2x+x=180          [combine like terms]

4x=180                  [divide both sides by 4]

x=45

Now, we know x=45.

RSM wants to send four of its 18 Math Challenge teachers to a conference. How many combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan?

Answers

Answer:

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

1 from a set of 2(Either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan).

3 from a set of 18 - 2 = 16. So

[tex]C_{2,1}C_{16,3} = \frac{2!}{1!1!} \times \frac{16!}{3!13!} = 1120[/tex]

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Which set of polar coordinates describes the same location as the
rectangular coordinates (1. - 1)?
A. (sqrt2,315°)
B. (-1,135°) C. (sqrt2,225°)
D. (1,45°)

Answers

Answer:

The polar coordinates appear in the form (r, θ), where r is the the radius from the center and θ is the angle. To get the radius, do the following.

[tex]r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}\\[/tex]

You can get the angle visually by drawing a point (1, -1) on a graph and seeing that it is 45 degrees from the top right quadrant (you can tell its 45 because both x and y have the same magnitude). Since there are 360 degrees, 360 - 45 = 315.

If you would like to find it mathematically, this is the way to do it

[tex]\theta = atan(y/x) = -45[/tex]

Notice that -45 degrees is just 360 - 45 = 315

Your answer would be

[tex](\sqrt{2}, 315)[/tex]

A square based prism and a cylinder both have the same height of 4cm and the same base area. If the volume of the square based prism is 452cm cubed based on the concepts of Cavalieri's principle, what is the approximate circumference of the base of the cylinder?

Answers

The approximate circumference of the base of the cylinder is 37.7 cm

How to find circumference of a cylinder?

The square based prism and a cylinder both have the same height of 4cm and the same base area.

volume = BH

where

B = base areaH = height

Therefore,

volume of squared base prism = 452

452 = 4B

B = 452 / 4

B = 113

Therefore,

base area of the cylinder = 113 = πr²

Hence,

113 / π = r²

r = √113 / π

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2πr

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2 × π × √113 / π

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2 × 3.14 × 5.99891656885

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 37.6731960524

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 37.7 cm
