The square root of a negative number, such as StartRoot negative 144 EndRoot, is undefined. Explain why the square root of –x, S

Part A

The reason why the (√(-x)) is not necessarily undefined, is because x is a placeholder, such that x can take on a negative value for which  (-x) is a positive number, therefore, √(-x) = √(+ve number) is a defined real number.

Part B

The domain is x ≤ 0

The range is f(x) ≥ 0

<h3>What is Real Number?</h3>

A real number is a value of a continuous quantity that can represent a distance along a line.

Here, The given and required information:

Given that √(-144) = Undefined, why is √(-x) not necessarily undefined

The given function, f(x) = √(-x)

Part A

The square root of a real number with a negative value is an imaginary number

The square root of a real number with a positive value or zero, is a real number

√(144) = ±12

A variable, x, is an input value of a function that is a quantity place holder in the function which is a function argument

The given function is f(x) = √(-x)

Where;

x = An argument of the function

When x ≤ 0, such that x is a negative real number or zero, we have;

x = R⁻ or 0

Therefore;

-x= -R⁻ or 0 = R⁺ or 0

-x = R⁺

From which we get;

f(-x)= √(-x) = √(R⁺) = Defined

f(-x) = √(R⁺) ≥ 0 The range of the function is f(x) ≥ 0

An example, when x = -16, we have;

-x = -(-16) = 16

√(-x) √(16) = 4 (Defined)

Part B;

Thee domain where the function is defined is where x = -R⁻,  x ≤ 0

The output of the function f(x) is defined which is the range = f(x) ≥ 0

Thus, the reason why the √(-x) is not  necessarily undefined, is because the value of x can represent a negative real number or zero.

Answer:

Cost of small box of oranges = 7

Cost of small box of oranges = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1)  Let the cost of small box of oranges = x

Let the cost of small box of oranges = y

Step 2)

Equation 1) Matt sells 3 small boxes and 14 large boxes for Php. 203

3x + 14y = 203 -------------------(I)

Equation 2) Ming sells 11 small boxes and 11 large boxes for Php. 220

11x + 11y = 220 ----------------(II)

Step 3:

Multiply equation (I) by 11 and equation (II) by (-3).

(I)*11              33x + 154y =  2233

(II)*(-3)         <u>-33x - 33y = -660 </u>            {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                           121y  = 1573

                               y = 1573/121

y = 13

Substitute y = 13 in equation (II)

11x + 11*13 = 220

11x + 143 = 220

        11x = 220 - 143

        11x = 77

          x = 77/11

x = 7

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the best response of each player to each of the other player’s actions; plot them in a diagram and thus find the Nash equilibria of the game.

The best response for player 2 can be stated as:

(where X1 equals the dollar that a person names and Y2(X1) being the amount the person receives)

X1 Y2(X1)

0 10

1 9,10

2 8,9,10

3 7,8,9,10

4 6,7,8,9,10

5 5,6,7,8,9,10

6 5,6

7 6

8 7

9 8

10 9

Th best responses for player 1 would be the same.

Nash equilibria is the set of strategies that every person forms given no person has any incentive to change. Hence, we can say that there are 4 Nash equilibria: (5,5) , (5,6) , (6,5) , (6,6)
