Find the value of a for which the solution of the inequality is all real numbers.

Answer:

a=3,\text{ then } x\in(-\infty,\infty)\\ \\a\in(-\infty,3),\text{ then }x\in \left[\dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a},\infty\right)\\ \\a\in(3,\infty),\text{ then }x\in \left(-\infty, \dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the inequality

3x+8+2ax\ge 3ax-4a\ \ \ (1)

a is an arbitrary real number.

Separate the terms with x into left side and the terms without x in the right side:

3x+2ax-3ax\ge -4a-8\\ \\3x-ax\ge -4a-8\\ \\(3-a)x\ge -4a-8\ \ \ (2)

First, look at the leading coefficient at x. If this coefficient is equal to 0 (when a=3), then the inequality is

0\ge -4a-8\\ \\0\ge -12-8\ [\text{Substituted }a=3]\\ \\0\ge -20

This is true inequality for all x, so at a=3, the inequality (1) has the solution x\in (-\infty,\infty)

Now, if the leading coefficient

3-a>0\\ \\a

then we can divide the inequality (2) by this positive number 3-a and get

x\ge \dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a}

If the leading coefficient

3-a3,

then we can divide the inequality (2) by this negative number 3-a and get

x\le \dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a}

So, the answer is

a=3,\text{ then } x\in(-\infty,\infty)\\ \\a\in(-\infty,3),\text{ then }x\in \left[\dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a},\infty\right)\\ \\a\in(3,\infty),\text{ then }x\in \left(-\infty, \dfrac{-4a-8}{3-a}\right]

To wash a window that is 12 feet off the ground, Wayne leans a 13-foot ladder against the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the situation, it forms into a right triangle. So we will apply the Pythagorean Theorem here. The ladder acts as the hypotenuse while the height from the ground to the window serves as our side "a". We are tasked to solve for "b". Side "b" is the distance from foot of side a to the tip of side c which is the hypotenuse (ladder). We will derive the formula below to solve for b.

c = √( a² + b² )

c² = a² + b²

b² = c² - a²

b = √ ( c² - a² )

b = √ ( 13² - 12² )

b = 5 meters

Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it helps.
