An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 8x − 7, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of h

ours after the sun has risen. When f(x) is a negative number, the icicle is not dripping. Determine the values when the icicle starts and stops dripping.

Find when f(x) = 0. By factorizing, we have

-x² + 8x - 7 = - (x - 7) (x - 1) = 0

so either x - 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, or simply x = 1 or x = 7.

Split the domain into three intervals, and check the sign of f(x) over each interval at some test point in the interval. The sign will tell you when the icicle is dripping (positive) or not (negative).

• [0, 1) : at x = 0, we have f(0) = -7 < 0

• (1, 7) : at x = 2, we have f(2) = 5 > 0

• (7, 10] : at x = 8, we have f(8) = -7 < 0

This tells us that the icicle is not dripping when 0 ≤ x < 1, begins to drip when x = 1, drips for the duration of 1 < x < 7, stops dripping when x = 7, and keeps on not dripping when 7 < x ≤ 10.

Why can you use cross products to solve the proportion 18/5 = x/100 for x ?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Yes, you can use cross products to solve for x in this proportion. Also, x is 360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you can use cross products to solve for x in that proportion.

Here's how you do it :

\frac{18}{5} = \frac{x}{100}

We cross product, getting :

18 * 100 = 5 * x

1800 = 5x

Divide by 5 on both sides to get x by itself.

360 = x

Yes, you can use cross products to solve for x in this proportion. Also, x is 360.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest if possible. Have a great day.

Let U = {all integers}.
elixir [45]
All integer numbers are either even or odd. So, the complement to the set B (to the set of all even integers) is the set of all odd integers, that is D.

The integer number of the form 2x is always even, because it is always divided by 2, so the set C is the empty set.

Numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 are odd, therefore they belong to the set D.

Chin made an error in his chart showing the multiplication of the binomial by the trinomial. Which change can be made to correct
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The expression 6x should be 6x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the chart of multiplication of the binomial by the trinomial.

Let's check each element in the chart:-

3x times x^2 = 3x^3

3x times 2x = 6x^2

3x times 4 = 12x

2 times x^2 = 2x^2

2 times 2x = 4x

2 times 4 = 8

From the given chart, we can identify that <u>6x should be 6x^2.</u>

Hence. option B is correct, i.e. The expression 6x should be 6x^2.
