Answer: -2x^2 (3x^2 + 8)

Step-by-step explanation: a^b+c =a^b a^c

1) -16x^2 - 6x^ x^2

2) Rewrite -16 as -2 * 8

2.a Rewrite -6 as -2 * 3

= -2 * 8x^2 - 2 * 3x^2x^2

3) facter out common term: -2x^2

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

the length of a rectngle is 8/3 times as great as its widthwhat is the width if the length of a rectangle is 24 ft.

laila [671]

L=(8/3)W = 24 ft. Solving for W, we mult. both sides of this eqn by (3/8), obtaining

W = (3/8)(24 ft) = 9 ft (answer)

How do I use successive approximations ?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

assume an approximate value for the variable that will simplify the equation.

solve for the variable.

use the answer as the second approximate value and solve the equation again.

repeat this process until a constant value for the variable is obtained.

For people doing some jobs, long spells of high pressure weather can bring problems. Give three examples of jobs that would be a

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Sports players: For people that need high respiratory performance, rises in the pressure may difficult the things, so they would be affected by high pressure because this makes breathing a little bit harder.

Workers in construction and such: People that work a lot with their muscles, in heat environments (road workers, construction workers) may be affected by the same problem as before, and this makes the workers to exhaust in a shorter time than if they worked in a lower pressure environment.

Scientist: A lot of time, some experiments or investigations need a specific pressure to work, so changes in weather pressure may affect investigations, and because the changes are actually uncontrollable, the scientist are really affected by them.
