Answer:
x ∈ {-a, -b}
Step-by-step explanation:
1/(a+b+x) = 1/a +1/b +1/x . . . . given
abx = bx(a+b+x) +ax(a+b+x) +ab(a+b+x) . . . . multiply by abx(a+b+x)
(a+b)x^2 +(a+b)^2x +ab(a+b) = 0 . . . . . subtract abx
x^2 + (a+b)x +ab = 0 . . . . . divide by (a+b)
This is a quadratic equation in x. It will have two solutions, as given by the quadratic formula.
x = (-(a+b) ±√((a+b)^2 -4(1)(ab))/(2(1)) = (-(a+b) ± |a -b|)/2
Without loss of generality, we can assume a ≥ b, so |a -b| ≥ 0. Then ...
x = (-a -b -a +b)/2 = -a
x = (-a -b +a -b)/2 = -b
There are two solutions: x ∈ {-a, -b}.
1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 is 1/8
Probability of head times the probability of head times the probability of head
So 1/8
the rate of change is +2
Every time the number is given, the number goes up by 2
On the blue print, the room will measure 3.5 inches by 4 inches
Answer:
He should serve 2 chocolate bars and 2 granola bars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define
x: amount of chocolate bar
y: amount of granola bar
We are asked to solve the following optimization problem:
maximize 7*x + 2*y
subject to
50*x + 25*y ≤ 150
5*x + 15*y ≥ 40
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
In the figure attached, the feasible region is shown. The solution is one of the vertex
vertex objective function
(0, 2.667) 7*0 + 2*2.667 = 5.334
(2, 2) 7*2 + 2*2 = 18
(0, 6) 7*0 + 2*6 = 12
