1. 8 1/3 is greater.
Least to Greatest it would be 7 1/5, 7 1/2, and 7 7/8. This is because 1/5 is less than 1/2, and 1/2 is less than 7/8.

Let u and v be the solutions to 3x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0. Find u/v+v/u

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: $\dfrac{-17}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: u and v be are the solutions of $3x^2+5x+7=0$

Let $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is the quadratic equation and u and v are the zeroes/solutions then

Sum of zeroes; $u+v = \dfrac{-b}{a}$

Product of zeroes; $uv= \dfrac{c}{a}$

Comparing $3x^2+5x+7=0$ to $ax^2+bx+c=0$

we get a= 3 , b= 5 and c = 7

$u+v = \dfrac{-b}{a} = \dfrac{-5}{3}----(i)$

$uv= \dfrac{c}{a} = \dfrac{7}{3}----(ii)$

Now we have to find

$\dfrac{u}{v} +\dfrac{v}{u} =\dfrac{u^2+v^2}{uv}$ adding and subtracting 2uv in numerator we get

$= \dfrac{u^2+v^2+2uv-2uv}{uv}= \dfrac{(u+v)^2-2uv}{uv}$

Substituting the values from (i) and (ii) we get

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{-5}{3} )^2-2\times \dfrac{7}{3} }{\dfrac{7}{3} } = \dfrac{\dfrac{25}{9} -\dfrac{14}{3} }{\dfrac{7}{3} }= \dfrac{\dfrac{25-42}{9} }{\dfrac{7}{3}} =\dfrac{-17}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{7} = \dfrac{-17}{21}$

Hence, the value of $\dfrac{u}{v} +\dfrac{v}{u}$ is $\dfrac{-17}{21}$

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 60 p

boyakko [2]

Answer:

large: 40 lbs
small: 20 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations can be written for the weights of the boxes based on the relationships given in the problem statement. One equation will be for the total weight of 1 large and 1 small box; the other will be for the total weight of 70 large and 60 small boxes.

Let L and S represent the weights of Large and Small boxes, respectively. The system of equations is ...

L + S = 60 . . . . . . combined weight is 60 lbs

70L +60S = 4000 . . . . weight of boxes in the truck

We can solve this by substituting for s in the second equation.

70L +60(60 -L) = 4000

10L = 400 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3600, simplify

L = 40

S = 60 -L = 20

A large box weighs 40 pounds; a small box weighs 20 pounds.

Can anyone explain those marked steps in case (iii)

Tema [17]

$\cos\dfrac{3x}2=\cos\left(\dfrac\pi2+\dfrac x2\right)$
$\implies \dfrac{3x}2=2n\pi+\dfrac\pi2+\dfrac x2$

follows from the fact that the cosine function is $2\pi$ -periodic, which means $\cos x=\cos(2\pi+x)$ . Roughly speaking, this is the same as saying that a point on a circle is the same as the point you get by completing a full revolution around the circle (i.e. add $2\pi$ to the original point's angle with respect to the horizontal axis).

If you make another complete revolution (so we're effectively adding $4\pi$ ) we get the same result: $\cos x=\cos(4\pi+x)$ . This is true for any number of complete revolutions, so that this pattern holds for any even multiple of $\pi$ added to the argument. Therefore $\cos x=\cos(2n\pi+x)$ for any integer $n$ .

Next, because $\cos(-x)=\cos x$ , it follows that $\cos x=\cos(2n\pi-x)$ is also true for any integer $n$ . So we have

$\implies \dfrac{3x}2=2n\pi\pm\left(\dfrac\pi2+\dfrac x2\right)$

The rest follows from considering either case and solving for $x$ .
