Answer:

x = 5 ,  x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First we factor using factorisation method :

We need 2 numbers that multiply to give +1 and add to give -30 :

To find these numbers we write out all the factors of 30 :

1, 30

2 , 15

3 , 10

5 , 6    ----> These must be the numbers as -5+6 = 1

Now we split +x into -5x and +6x :

x² -5x + 6x -30 = 0

Factor the first 2 terms together and the last two terms :

x(x-5) + 6(x-5) = 0

Keep 1 bracket and terms outside the brackets collect them into one:

(x-5)(x+6) = 0

We know that 1 of these brackets must be equal to zero as anything multiplied by zero = 0

Either x - 5 =0      OR x + 6 = 0

So x = 5                x = - 6

These are our final answers

Answer:

(x-5) (x+6)

x=5

X=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+x-30=0

factorizing

x²-5x+6x-30=0

x(x-5)+6(x-5) =0

(x-5)(x+6)=0

<u>now solve individually</u>

x-5=0

send 5 to the other side

x=5

x+6=0

send 6 to the other side

x=-6

hope you understand the procedure

PLSSS HELP IMMA FAIL
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

X = 10 because if you look at the 28 and 14, 14 is half of 28 so the ratio is 1:2 which would also work for the 20 so the answer is 10

The daily cost of producing x high performance wheels for racing is given by the following​ function, where no more than 100 whe
algol [13]

Answer:

The production would be 25 wheels,

Lowest average cost is $ 123.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cost function,

C(x) = 0.09x^3 - 4.5x^2 + 180x

Where,

x = number of wheel,

So, the average cost per wheel,

A(x) = \frac{C(x)}{x}=\frac{0.09x^3-4.5x^2 + 180x}{x}=0.09x^2 - 4.5x + 180

Differentiating with respect to x,

A'(x) = 0.18x - 4.5

Again differentiating with respect to x,

A''(x) = 0.18

For maxima or minima,

A'(x) = 0

0.18x - 4.5 = 0

0.18x = 4.5

\implies x = \frac{4.5}{0.18}=25

For x = 25, A''(x) = positive,

i.e. A(x) is maximum at x = 25.

Hence, the production would be 25 wheels for the lowest average cost per​ wheel.

And, lowest average cost,

A(x) = 0.09(25)² - 4.5(25) + 180 = $ 123.75
