The temperature of the compound will follow this function: 1/8x^2+15 ( I could be wrong).

But how did I come up with this function ??
The standard of a quadratic equation is given...the x is given...the f(x) is given. Now plug these in correspondence to find the constants. The rest is algebra. If you are not getting this answer, let me see your work

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following
skelet666 [1.2K]

For this case we have the following expression:

x ^ 2-4x + 10 = 4x + 10

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

x ^ 2-4x + 10-4x = 4x + 10-4x\\x ^ 2-8x + 10 = 10

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

x ^ 2-8x + 10-10 = 10-10\\x ^ 2-8x = 0

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0, if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c-c = -c\\ax ^ 2 + bx = -c

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation: (\frac{b}{2})^{2}

So, we have left:

ax^2+bx + (\frac {b} {2})^{2} = - c + (\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2}

In the given expression we have:

a = 1\\b = -8\\c = 0

And to complete the square we have:

(\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2} = (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ {2} = 16

Rewriting we have:

x ^ 2-8x + 16 = 16

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

-4-4 = -8\\-4 * -4 = 16

So, we have:

(x-4) (x-4) = 16\\(x-4) ^ 2 = 16

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares

(x-4) ^ 2 = 16

Which equation is the inverse of y = 9x2 - 4?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The inverse will be:

y' = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the inverse of the equation, we do a variable change, since we are finding the inverse, :

f(x)  = 9x^{2} - 4

y = 9x^{2} - 4

x = 9y' ^{2} - 4

Now solve for y'.

First add 4 in both sides of the equation and change to the left y'.

x + 4= 9y'^{2} - 4+4

9y'^{2} = x + 4

Second divide by 9

9y'^{2}/9 = (x + 4)/9

y'^{2} = (x + 4)/9

Now you will have to clear y, with the square root.

[tex]y'^{\frac{2}{2}} = \sqrt{x + 4}  / \sqrt{9}[/tex] =

Simplifying terms

y' = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

f^{-1}(x)  = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

You can check the answer by doing the evaluation of the following equation:

(f o f^{-1} ) (x)

substitute the equation for y' or inverse function f^{-1}

f(\frac{\sqrt{x+4} }{3})

Now substitue the value into f(x)

You will have

= 9(\frac{\sqrt{x+4} }{3}} )^{2}  - 4\\\\Solving\\\\9(\frac{{x+4} }{9}} )  - 4

=x

(3-4i)(6i+7)-(2-3i)
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

43-7i

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

\displaystyle \large{(3 - 4i)(6i + 7) - (2 - 3i)}

First, expand 3-4i in 6i+7. To expand binomial with binomial, first we expand 3 in 6i+7 then expand -4i in 6i+7.

\displaystyle \large{[(3 \cdot 6i) + (3 \cdot 7) + ( - 4i \cdot 6i) + ( - 4i \cdot 7)]- (2 - 3i)}  \\  \displaystyle \large{[18i + 21  - 24 {i}^{2}  - 28i]- (2 - 3i)}

Now combine like terms.

\displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21  - 24 {i}^{2} ]- (2 - 3i)}

<u>I</u><u>m</u><u>a</u><u>g</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>r</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>U</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u>

\displaystyle \large{i =   \sqrt{ - 1} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ {i}^{2}  =   - 1 }

Therefore:-

\displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21  - 24  ( - 1) ]- (2 - 3i)}  \\   \displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 21   + 24]- (2 - 3i)}  \\   \displaystyle \large{[ - 10i+ 45]- (2 - 3i)}

Then expand negative sign in 2-3i; remember that negative times negative is positive and negative times positive is negative.

\displaystyle \large{- 10i+ 45 -  (2 - 3i)}  \\   \displaystyle \large{- 10i+ 45 -  2 + 3i}

Combine like terms.

\displaystyle \large{43 - 7i}

For what power of q is its value 1?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

  0, for q ≠ 0 and q ≠ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming q ≠ 0, you want to find the value of x such that ...

  q^x = 1

This is solved using logarithms.

__

  x·log(q) = log(1) = 0

The zero product rule tells us this will have two solutions:

  x = 0

  log(q) = 0   ⇒   q = 1

If q is not 0 or 1, then its value is 1 when raised to the 0 power. If q is 1, then its value will be 1 when raised to <em>any</em> power.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The applicable rule of logarithms is ...

  log(a^b) = b·log(a)
