One way to solve this would be to graph both y=x^2+6x+18 and y=2 - 1/x.  If the graph of the polynomial is always higher up (above) the graph of y=2-1/x, that alone is sufficient cause to state that the poly is always greater than 2-1/x.

You could also do this algebraically:  write the inequality

x^2+6x+18 > 2 -1/x.  This can be rewritten as x^2+6x+18-2+1/x > 0, or
                                                                         x^2+6x+16+1/x > 0

Try x=-3.  Then 9-18+16-1/3 = 6 2/3, which is greater than 0.

Or you could graph x^2+6x+16+1/x by hand or on a calculator.  Is the graph always above the x-axis?  If so,  <span>x²+6x+18 is always greater than 2-1/x.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three  9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup =  8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = 0.56 \cdot 4=2.24

cost of lemon for making 3 pie= 3 \cdot 2.24=6.72
