Here you are the Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

(a, b, and c are the lengths of the 3 sides)

In words, the surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it. But we don't have to figure out all six because we know that the top and bottom are the same, the front and back are the same, and the left and right sides are the same.

The area of the top and bottom (side lengths a and c) = a*c. Since there are two of them, you get 2ac. The front and back have side lengths of b and c. The area of one of them is b*c, and there are two of them, so the surface area of those two is 2bc. The left and right side have side lengths of a and b, so the surface area of one of them is a*b. Again, there are two of them, so their combined surface area is 2ab.

Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

$Product = -14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Cross multiply:

$2x(r - x) = 7 * 1$

$2xr - 2x^2 = 7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7$

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0$

Reorder

$- 2x^2+ 2xr -7= 0$

Multiply through by -1

$2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

$b^2 - 4ac = 0$

For a quadratic equation

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

By comparison with $2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

$a = 2$

$b = -2r$

$c =7$

Substitute these values in $b^2 - 4ac = 0$

$(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0$

$4r^2 - 56 = 0$

Add 56 to both sides

$4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56$

$4r^2 = 56$

Divide through by 4

$r^2 = 14$

Take square roots

$\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14$

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

Hence, the possible values of r are:

$\sqrt{14$ or $-\sqrt{14$

and the product is:

$Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}$

$Product = -14$

Can someone please help? Thanks!

Hey, I have already answered these all questions except the last question in your previous question. Make sure to see them.

For the last question, the answer would be the second choice as when times keep flowing, the distance still remains the same (not to be confused with speed.)

Basically when times keep going, the distance will stay the same without any changes.
