Mathematics

Olin [163]1 year ago

Answer:

\textsf{$y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30$: \quad $\left(-\infty, \dfrac{5}{2}\right) \cup (6, \infty)$}

\textsf{$y = - x^2 - 6x - 8$: \quad $\left(-\infty, -4\right) \cup (-2, \infty)$}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is positive when it is <u>above the x-axis</u>, and negative when it is <u>below the x-axis</u>.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Given quadratic equation</u>:

y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30

Factor the equation:

\implies y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30

\implies y = 2x^2 - 5x-12x + 30

\implies y=x(2x-5)-6(2x-5)

\implies y=(x-6)(2x-5)

The x-intercepts of the parabola are when y = 0.

To find the <u>x-intercepts</u>, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

\implies x-6=0 \implies x=6

\implies 2x-5=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}

Therefore, the x-intercepts are x = ⁵/₂ and x = 6.

The leading coefficient of the given function is positive, so the <u>parabola opens upwards</u>.  

The function is positive when it is <u>above the x-axis</u>.

Therefore, the function is positive for the values of x less than the smallest x-intercept and more than the largest x-intercept:

  • \textsf{Solution: \quad $x < \dfrac{5}{2}$ \;and \;$x > 6$}
  • \textsf{Interval notation: \quad $\left(-\infty, \dfrac{5}{2}\right) \cup (6, \infty)$}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Given quadratic equation</u>:

y = - x^2 - 6x - 8

Factor the equation:

\implies y = - x^2 - 6x - 8

\implies y = -(x^2 +6x +8)

\implies y = -(x^2 +4x +2x+8)

\implies y = -((x(x+4)+2(x+4))

\implies y = -(x+4)(x+2)

The x-intercepts of the parabola are when y = 0.

To find the <u>x-intercepts</u>, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

\implies x+4=0 \implies x=-4

\implies x+2=0 \implies x=-2

Therefore, the x-intercepts are x = -4 and x = -2.

The leading coefficient of the given function is negative, so the <u>parabola opens downwards</u>.  

The function is negative when it is <u>below the x-axis</u>.

Therefore, the function is negative for the values of x less than the smallest x-intercept and more than the largest x-intercept:

  • \textsf{Solution: \quad $x < -4$ \;and \;$x > -2$}
  • \textsf{Interval notation: \quad $\left(-\infty, -4\right) \cup (-2, \infty)$}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us identify which quadratic function is positive. Yeah, let's start.

Y = { \red{ \sf{2 {x}^{2}  - 17x + 30}}}

By using factorisation method,

{ \red{ \sf{2 {x}^{2}  - 12x - 5x + 30}}}

Take common factors

{ \red{ \sf{2x(x - 6) - 5(x - 6)}}}

{ \red{ \sf{(2x - 5)}}} \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \: ||  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: { \red{ \sf{(x - 6)}}}

{ \red{ \sf{2x - 5 = 0}}} \:  \:  ||  \:  \: { \red{ \sf{x - 6 = 0}}}

{ \red{ \sf{2x = 5}}} \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:    \:  \:  ||  \:  \:  \:  \: { \red{ \boxed{ \green{ \sf{x = 6}}}}}

{ \red{ \sf{{ \frac{ \cancel2}{ \cancel2}x}}}} = { \red{ \sf{ \frac{5}{2}}}}

{ \red{ \boxed{ \green{ \sf{x =  \frac{5}{2}}}}}}

____________________________________

Y = { \blue{ \sf {{ - x}^{2}  - 6x - 8}}}

By using factorisation method,

{ \blue{ \sf{ -  {x}^{2}  - 2x - 4x - 8}}}

Take common factors

{ \blue{ \sf{ - x(x + 2) - 4(x + 2)}}}

{ \blue{ \sf{( - x - 4)}}} \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  ||  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: { \blue{ \sf{(x + 2)}}}

{ \blue{ \sf{- x - 4 = 0}}} \:  \:  \: \: \: || \:  \:  \:  \: \: { \blue{ \sf{x + 2 = 0}}}

{ \blue{ \boxed{ \green{ \sf{x = -4}}}}} \: \: \: \: \: || \: \: \: \: \: { \blue{ \boxed{ \green{ \sf{x = -2}}}}}

Hence, the first quadratic function is positive and second quadratic function is negative.

How many cans of paint are needed to cover an area of 2200 square units if one can of paint covers in area 400 square units
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a total area of 2,200 sq units to cover... and each can of paint covers 400 sq units.  So, you'll need:

2200 sq units / 400 sq units/can = 5.5 cans

In such problems, we always round up, since you will need 5 full cans of paint, and half of a 6th can.

So, in total you will need 6 cans of paint to cover all 2,200 sq units.
