17 + 18 = 35

so three sides of those lengths form a degenerate triangle, three collinear points. A degenerate triangle is not a triangle. The triangle inequality is not satisfied.

Answer: NO

2u^2 + v when u=3 and v=7

Mariana [72]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two variables which is u and v and is given that u is 3 and v is 7 so input that into the expression and solve.

2(3)^2 + 7 Solve the exponent first

2(9) + 7 Now multiply then add

18 + 7 = 25

Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

$f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 - x = 0$

Expand

$x(x^2 - 1) = 0$

Express $x^2 - 1$ as difference of two squares

$x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0$

x = 0 or 1 or -1

For 2 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

$y =(x-5)^2)(x+7)$

Equate y to 0

$(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0$

Expand

$(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0$

x= 5 or x = -7

For 1 x intercept

$y = x^3$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 = 0$

Take cube roots of both sides

$x = 0$

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2 + x + 17$

The above function has no x intercept.

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2- 6x + 9$

Equate y to 0

$x^2- 6x + 9 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 3)(x-3) = 0$

$x = 3$

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement

The price in dollars of a stereo system is given by p(q) = (1000/q2)+1000 where q represents the demand of the product.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a) r(q) = 1000(q +1/q)

b) r'(q) = 1000(1 -1/q^2)

c) r'(10) = 990

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Revenue is the product of quantity and price:

r(q) = q·p(q) = q(1000(1 +1/q^2))

r(q) = 1000(q + 1/q)

b) The derivative is ...

r'(q) = 1000(1 -1/q^2)

c) The derivative evaluated for q=10 is ...

r'(10) = 1000(1 -1/10^2) = 1000(0.99)

r'(10) = 990

First notice that the triangle with sides $x,y,a$ and the triangle with sides $z,a+b,x$ are similar. This is true because the angle between sides $x,y$ in the smaller triangle is clearly $30^\circ$ , while the angle between sides $y,z$ in the larger triangle is clearly $60^\circ$ . So the triangles are similar with sides $x,y,a$ corresponding to $a+b,z,x$ , respectively.

Now both triangles are $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ , which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is $\ell_1$ , then the length of the longer leg is $\ell_2=\sqrt3\ell_1$ and the hypotenuse has length $\ell_3=\sqrt{{\ell_1}^2+{\ell_2}^2}=2\ell_1$ .

Since $x$ is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that $a+b=2x$ , so $a+b=15=2x\implies x=\dfrac{15}2$
