Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 15 = 0

x² + 5x + 3x + 15 = 0

x x (x + 5) + 3x + 15 = 0

xx (x + 5) +3 (x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) × (x + 3) = 0 → x + 5 = 0 x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x = -3

x1 = -5

x2 = -3

Hope this helped ! :)

A rectangular sign must have an arae of 43 square yards. its lenght must be 2 yards more than its width. find the dimensions of

inna [77]

We know A=L•W so set 43 equal to A. Equation should look like this thus far: 43=L•W. Now when the question says more than we know that means adding. Since we don’t know the width let w=width. So know your equation should look like this: 43=2+w•(w). Knowing this equation you should be able to solve for the dimensions of the sign. If you need help on that let me know.

Lim x-> vô cùng ((căn bậc ba 3 (3x^3+3x^2+x-1)) -(căn bậc 3 (3x^3-x^2+1)))

NNADVOKAT [17]

I believe the given limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \bigg(\sqrt[3]{3x^3+3x^2+x-1} - \sqrt[3]{3x^3-x^2+1}\bigg)$

Let

$a = 3x^3+3x^2+x-1 \text{ and }b = 3x^3-x^2+1$

Now rewrite the expression as a difference of cubes:

$a^{1/3}-b^{1/3} = \dfrac{\left(a^{1/3}-b^{1/3}\right)\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)}{\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)} \\\\ = \dfrac{a-b}{a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

Then

$a-b = (3x^3+3x^2+x-1) - (3x^3-x^2+1) \\\\ = 4x^2+x-2$

The limit is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

From each remaining cube root expression, remove the cubic terms:

$a^{2/3} = \left(3x^3+3x^2+x-1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

$(ab)^{1/3} = \left((3x^3+3x^2+x-1)(3x^3-x^2+1)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = \left(\left(x^3\right)^{1/3}\right)^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1x\right)\left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3}$

$b^{2/3} = \left(3x^3-x^2+1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

Now that we see each term in the denominator has a factor of x ², we can eliminate it :

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}} \\\\ = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{x^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}\right)}$

$=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4+\dfrac1x-\dfrac2{x^2}}{\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}}$

As x goes to infinity, each of the 1/x ⁿ terms converge to 0, leaving us with the overall limit,

$\displaystyle \frac{4+0-0}{(3+0+0-0)^{2/3} + (9+0-0+0+0-0)^{1/3} + (3-0+0)^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3^{2/3}+(3^2)^{1/3}+3^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3\cdot 3^{2/3}} = \boxed{\frac{4}{3^{5/3}}}$
