Consider fraction \dfrac{9x^3+4x^2+11x+7}{x^2+bx+8}. The domain of this fraction is x^2+bx+8\neq 0.

Find the discriminant of the the equation x^2+bx+8=0:

D=b^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 8=b^2-32.

There are choices:

1. If D>0, there are two solutions of the equation;

2. D=0, there is only unique solution of the equation;

3. D<0, there are no solutions.

If x^2+bx+8\neq 0 you should consider case 3, then
b^2-32.

Therefore, the greatest integer is 5.

A 222-inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is five times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The shorter piece is <u>37</u> inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

Short piece + Long piece = 222 inches

x + 5x = 222

6x = 222

x = 222 ÷ 6

x = 37
