Show that 2x^2 + 7x + 7 is positive for all real values of x. PLEASE HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
5 0

Complete the square to rewrite it as

2x^2+7x+7=2\left(x^2+\dfrac72x\right)+7=2\left(x^2+\dfrac72x+\left(\dfrac74\right)^2-\left(\dfrac74\right)^2\right)+7

\implies2x^2+7x+7=2\left(x+\dfrac74\right)+\dfrac78

The minimum value of this expression occurs at x=-\dfrac74 because \left(x+\dfrac74\right)^2 will always be non-negative. Then at this point we get a value of \dfrac78, which means

2x^2+7x+7\ge\dfrac78

and so is always positive for any real value of x

The perimeter of the hallway is 10 4/10 meters what is the width in meters
Butoxors [25]
Considering that the hallway is rectangular in shape such that its perimeter is calculated by the equation, 
                          P = 2L + 2W
where P is perimeter, L is length, and W is width. Substituting the known values,
                            10.4 = 2L + 2W
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2,
                               5.2 = L + W
                                W = 5.2 - L
