What does it mean for a variable to have coefficients that are equal but opposite

1 answer:

5 0

A coefficient goes before a variable and is a constant. When the coefficients are equal but opposite it means you have an even function.

Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change of a function f in an interval [x-low, x-high] is

(f(x-high) - f(x-low)) / (x-high - x-low)

the year 2000 means t = 2000-1980 = 20

the year 2015 means t = 2015-1980 = 35

so, we have

(A(35) - A(20)) / (35 - 20)

((-0.6(35)² + 37.2×35 + 243) - (-0.6(20)² + 37.2×20 + 243)) / 15

((-735 + 1302 + 243) - (-240 + 744 + 243)) / 15

(810 - 747) / 15 = 63/15 = 4.2

the average change rate between 2000 and 2015 is 4.2.

that means that the use of nuclear energy in the USA increased by 4.2 billions of kilowatt hours per year during that period.

1. Find the cost of levelling the ground in the form of a triangle having the sides 51 m, 37 m and 20 m at the rate of ₹ 3 per m².

a = 51 m, b = 37 m, c = 20 m

semiperimeter: p = (51+37+20):2 = 54 m

Area of triangle:

$A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}\\\\A=\sqrt{54(54-51)(54-37)(54-20)}\\\\A=\sqrt{54\cdot3\cdot17\cdot34}\\\\A=\sqrt{9\cdot2\cdot3\cdot3\cdot17\cdot17\cdot2}\\\\A=3\cdot2\cdot3\cdot17\\\\A=306\,m^2$

Rate: ₹ 3 per m².

Cost: ₹ 3•306 = ₹ 918

2. Find the area of the isosceles triangle whose perimeter is 11 cm and the base is 5 cm.

a = 5 cm

a+2b = 11 cm ⇒ 2b = 6 cm ⇒ b = 3 cm

p = 11:2 = 5.5

$A=\sqrt{5.5(5.5-3)^2(5.5-5)}\\\\ A=\sqrt{5.5\cdot(2.5)^2\cdot0.5}\\\\ A=\sqrt{11\cdot0.5\cdot(2.5)^2\cdot0.5}\\\\A=0.5\cdot2.5\cdot\sqrt{11}\\\\A=1.25\sqrt{11}\,cm^2\approx4.146\,cm^2$

3. Find the area of the equilateral triangle whose each side is 8 cm.

a = b = c = 8 cm

p = (8•3):2 = 12 cm

$A=\sqrt{12(12-8)^3}\\\\ A=\sqrt{12\cdot4^3}\\\\ A=\sqrt{3\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4^2}\\\\A=4\cdot4\cdot\sqrt{3}\\\\A=16\sqrt3\ cm^2\approx27.713\ cm^2$

4. The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of the equal side to its base is 3 : 2. Find the area of the triangle.

a = 2x

b = 3x

2x + 2•3x = 32 cm ⇒ 8x = 32 cm ⇒ x = 4 cm ⇒ a = 8 cm, b = 12 cm

p = 32:2 = 16 cm

$A=\sqrt{16(16-8)(16-12)^2}\\\\ A=\sqrt{16\cdot8\cdot4^2}\\\\ A=\sqrt{2\cdot8\cdot8\cdot4^2}\\\\ A=8\cdot4\cdot\sqrt2\\\\ A=32\sqrt2\ cm^2\approx45.2548\ cm^2$
