Answer:

Alright well solve for y by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variable

Exact form: y = - 13/2

Decimal form: y = - 6.5 Hope this helps have a nice day :)

What is the product of all constants $k$ such that the quadratic $x^2 + kx +15$ can be factored in the form $(x+a)(x+b)$, where

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$k=-16,k=-8,k=8,k=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given quadratic equations as

$x^2+kx+15$

and it can be factored as

$=(x+a)(x+b)$

now, we can multiply factor term

$(x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b)x+ab$

now, we can compare

$x^2+(a+b)x+ab=x^2+kx+15$

so, we get

$k=a+b$

$ab=15$

we are given that

'a' and 'b' are integers

so, we can find all possible factors

$15=(-1\times -15),(1\times 15)$

$15=(-3\times -5),(3\times 5)$

so, we can find k

At $(-1\times -15)$ :

$k=a+b$

we can plug values

$k=-1-15$

$k=-16$

At $(1\times 15)$ :

$k=a+b$

we can plug values

$k=1+15$

$k=16$

At $(-3\times -5)$ :

$k=a+b$

we can plug values

$k=-3-5$

$k=-8$

At $(3\times 5)$ :

$k=a+b$

we can plug values

$k=3+5$

$k=8$

So, values of k are

$k=-16,k=-8,k=8,k=16$

A home gardener estimates that 18 apple trees will produce an average yield of 80 apples per tree. But because of the size of th

aliina [53]

19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Number of apples, x = 18

Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree

When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).

We have:

Trees = 18 + x

The yield decreases by four apples per tree.

So, we have

Yield = 80 - 4x

So, the profit function is

P(x) = Apples * Yield

This gives

P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)

Expand the bracket

P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2

Differentiate the function

P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x

Evaluate the like terms

P'(x) = 8 - 8x

Set P'(x) to 0

8 - 8x = 0

Divide through by 8

1 - x = 0

Solve for x

x = 1

Recall that:

Trees = 18 + x

So, we have

Trees = 18 + 1

Evaluate

Trees = 19

Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

For the given function, x can have what value?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

x cannot be -4,-3, or 13

x can be anything else

Step-by-step explanation:

There are infinitely many values x can take where the relation above will be a function.

For it to be a function, you just need to make sure each x is only assigned one y value.

So x couldn't be -4 because it would by assigned to y=2 and y=0.

x couldn't be -3 because it would be assigned to y=1 and y=0.

x couldn't be 13 because it would be assigned to y=5 and y=0.

So as long as x is not chosen to be -4,-3, or 13 your relation here is a function.
