The length of the minute hand is 200% of the length of the hour hand.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument, but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a letter, a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.[1]

Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (e.g., Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population are counterexamples.

In some countries (e.g., the United States and Canada), essays have become a major part of formal education. Secondary students are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills; admission essays are often used by universities in selecting applicants, and in the humanities and social sciences essays are often used as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams.

The concept of an "essay" has been extended to other media beyond writing. A film essay is a movie that often incorporates documentary filmmaking styles and focuses more on the evolution of a theme or idea. A photographic essay covers a topic with a linked series of photographs that may have accompanying text or captions.

I NEED HELP WITH QUESTION PLEASE!!<br> What is the inverse of f(x)<br> (x) = (x-4)² for x ≥ 4?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of the inverse of a function</u>

A function g is the inverse of a function f if whenever y=f(x) then x=g(y). In other words, applying f and then g is the same thing as doing nothing. We can write this in terms of the composition of f and g as g(f(x))=x. The domain of f becomes the range of g and the range of f becomes the domain of g

To solve for the inverse of the function $f(x) =\left(x-4\right)^2$

Let $y=\left(x-4\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Replace}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:y$ $\text{ and replace }\:y\:\mathrm{with}\:x$

$x=\left(y-4\right)^2$

Switch sides
$\left(y-4\right)^2=x$

Take square roots on both sides
$y-4=\pm\sqrt{x}$

Add 4 on both sides to solve for y

$y = \pm\sqrt{x} + 4$

We have two solutions

$y=\sqrt{x}+4,\:y=-\sqrt{x}+4$

To determine which one of these to be chosen not that in the given choices we can eliminate the first two since x cannot be negative

The third choice can also be eliminated since
$-\sqrt{x} + 4$ is a decreasing function for $x \ge 0$

So the last answer choice is correct and the inverse of $f(x) = (x-4)^2$

is given by $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4$

Answer:4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Note

Domain of (x-4)² is [4, ∞) since x ≥ 4 and (x-4)² cannot be negative

Range of (x-4)² is [0, ∞)

Domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [0, ∞)

Range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [4, ∞)

so indeed the domain of (x-4)² has become the range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ and the range of (x-4)² has become the domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$

Multiply.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Use synthetic division to determine whether x – 4 is a factor of:

–2x5 + 6x4 + 10x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 4

For x – 4 to be a factor, you must have x = 4 as a zero. Using this information, I'll do the synthetic division with x = 4 as the test zero on the left:

completed division

Since the remainder is zero, then x = 4 is indeed a zero of –2x5 + 6x4 + 10x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 4, so:

Yes, x – 4 is a factor of –2x5 + 6x4 + 10x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 4

Find all the factors of 15x4 + x3 – 52x2 + 20x + 16 by using synthetic division.

Remember that, if x = a is a zero, then x – a is a factor. So use the Rational Roots Test (and maybe a quick graph) to find a good value to test for a zero (x-intercept). I'll try x = 1:

completed division

This division gives a zero remainder, so x = 1 must be a zero, which means that x – 1 is a factor. Since I divided a linear factor (namely, x – 1) out of the original polynomial, then my result has to be a cubic: 15x3 + 16x2 – 36x – 16. So I need to find another zero before I can apply the Quadratic Formula. I'll try x = –2:

completed division

Since I got a zero remainder, then x = –2 is a zero, so x + 2 is a factor. Plus, I'm now down to a quadratic, 15x2 – 14x – 8, which happens to factor as:

(3x – 4)(5x + 2)

Then the fully-factored form of the original polynomial is:

15x4 + x3 – 52x2 + 20x + 16

= (x – 1)(x + 2)(3x – 4)(5x + 2)

Given that x = -3 + sqrt(11) is a zero of x4 + 6x3 – 7x2 – 30x + 10, fully solve the

equation x4 + 6x3 – 7x2 – 30x + 10 = 0.

Since they have given me one of the zeroes, I'll use synthetic division to divide it out:

completed division

Since you only get these square-root answers by using the Quadratic Formula, and since the square-root part of the Formula is preceded by a "plus-minus" sign, then these square-root answers must always come in pairs. Thus, if x = -3 + sqrt(11) is a root, then so also must x = -3 - sqrt(11) be a root. So my next step is to divide by x = -3 - sqrt(11):

completed division

I had started with a fourth-power polynomial. After the first division, I was left with a cubic (with very nasty coefficients!). After the second division, I'm now down to a quadratic (x2 + 0x – 5, or just x2 – 5), which I know how to solve:

x = +/- sqrt(5)

Then the full solution is:

x = -3 +/- sqrt(11), +/- sqrt(5)

If you have studied complex numbers, then you may see a problem of the following type.

Given that 2 – i is a zero of x5 – 6x4 + 11x3 – x2 – 14x + 5, fully solve the

equation x5 – 6x4 + 11x3 – x2 – 14x + 5 = 0.

They have given us a zero, so I'll use synthetic division and divide out 2 – i:

completed division

(You will probably want to use scratch paper for the computations required when doing complex division.)

Recall that, to arrive at a zero of 2 – i, they must have used the Quadratic Formula, which always spits out complex answers in pairs. That is, you get the imaginary part (the part with the "i") from having a negative inside the "plus or minus square-root of" part of the Formula. This means that, since 2 – i is a zero, then 2 + i must also be a zero. So I'll divide by 2 + i:

completed division

This leaves me with a cubic, so I'll need to find another zero on my own. (That is, I can't apply the Quadratic Formula yet.) I can use the Rational Roots Test to help find potential zeroes, and a quick graph of x3 – 2x2 – 2x + 1 can help. I will try x = –1:

completed division

Now I'm down to a quadratic (x2 – 3x + 1, which happens not to factor), so I'll apply the Quadratic Formula to get:

x = (3 +/- sqrt(5))/2

Then all the zeroes of x5 – 6x4 + 11x3 – x2 – 14x + 5 are given by:

x = 2 - i, 2 + i, (3 - sqrt(5))/2, (3 + sqrt(5))/2, -1
