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

Use the roster method to write each of the given sets. For some exercises you may need to consult a reference, such as the Inter
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The empty set \{ \}

Step-by-step explanation:

Roster method is simply listing explicitly all the elements in the set, one by one (writing them between two curly brackets, and separating them through commas).

We want then to list explicitly all the elements in the following set:

The set of natural numbers x that satisfy x+2=1.

So, first we have to figure out which numbers are in that set. The set is made ONLY of those natural numbers x, that when you add 2 to them, you get 1. Clearly no natural number has that property (since the only number that would give us 1 when adding 2 to it, is the number -1, which is NOT a natural number). So there aren't any numbers at all in that set. So if we were to list them, we'd just list nothing inside the set:

\{ \} (which is just the empty set)

If mZDEC = (12x - 3), mZBCE =
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 3 = 180 - (7x - 26) supplementary angles

19x = 209

   x = 11

m∠DEC = 12(11) - 3 = 129°

m∠BCE = 7(11) - 26 = 51°

M∠ADE = 129 - 72 = 57°  exterior angle rule

m∠EDB = 180 - 57 = 123° supplementary angles

m∠DBC = 57° corresponding angle to ADE

Calculate x Give your answer correct to 1 d.p. Х 35° 15 cm<br> it is a trigonometry question.​
OlgaM077 [116]

Here we are finding x, given the angle and adjacent side. To find x we will use the function cos as cos = a/h.

So let's do cos(35°) = 15cm / x

cos(35°) = 0.8 (1 dp)

x = 15 cm / cos(35°)

x = 18.3 cm (1 dp)
