Mathematics

Elena L [17]2 years ago

1. Distribute the -2x with the (x+3)
2.Multiply (x+1) and (x-2) which is (x2- x -2)
So far it should look like (-2x^2 -6x) - (x^2-x-2)
3. Distribute out the negative
Should look like this -2x^2 -6x - x^2+x+2
4. Lastly combine like terms

Your result should be:
-3x^2 - 5x + 2

Hope this helps!

-2x(x + 3) - (x + 1)(x - 2)


//Distribute

= (-2x² - 6x) - (x² - 2x + x - 2)


// Combine like terms

= (-2x² - 6x) - (x² - x - 2)


// Open brackets

= -2x² - 6x - x² + x + 2


//Combine like terms

= - 3x² - 5x + 2

//Factorise

<span>= (1 - 3x)(x + 2)</span>


Answer:  (1 - 3x)(x + 2)

Given the relationship x2 + 3y2 =12, with y &gt; 0 and dx, dt = 2 units/min., find the value of dy, dt at the instant y = 1 unit
matrenka [14]
\bf x^2+3y^2=12\implies \stackrel{chain~rule}{2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}}+3 \stackrel{chain~rule}{\left(2y\cfrac{dy}{dt}\right)}=0&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}+6y\cfrac{dy}{dt}=0&#10;\implies &#10;6y\cfrac{dy}{dt}=-2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=\cfrac{-2x\frac{dx}{dt}}{&#10;6y\frac{dy}{dt}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{\cfrac{dy}{dt}=-\cfrac{x\frac{dx}{dt}}{3y}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \textit{now, when y = 1, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad x^2+3y^2=12\implies x^2+3(1)^2=12&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x^2=9\implies x=\sqrt{9}\implies x=3\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;y=1\\&#10;x=3\\&#10;\frac{dx}{dt}=2&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=-\cfrac{3\cdot 2}{3\cdot 1}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=-2

The average price (in dollars) to rent a studio in a certain city can be approximated by the equation p=28.2t+644 where t is the
egoroff_w [7]

p = 28.2t + 644\\\\p-644 = 28.2t\\\\\frac{p-644}{28.2} = \frac{28.2t}{28.2}\\  \\t = \frac{p-644}{28.2}

t = \frac{1320.80-644}{28.2} \\\\t = 24

It will take 24 years.
