To answer this question, let the number be represented by the variable x. The expression quantity of a number minus 12 can be mathematically expressed as x - 12. Then, this expression is multiplied by 2. Thus, the final answer is equal to,
2(x - 12)

If y= 3x + 6, what is the minimum value of (x^3)(y)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Given the statement: if y =3x+6.

Find the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$

Let f(x) = $(x^3)(y)$

Substitute the value of y ;

$f(x)=(x^3)(3x+6)$

Distribute the terms;

$f(x)= 3x^4 + 6x^3$

The derivative value of f(x) with respect to x.

$\frac{df}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}(3x^4+6x^3)$

Using $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$

we have;

$\frac{df}{dx} =(12x^3+18x^2)$

Set $\frac{df}{dx} = 0$

then;

$(12x^3+18x^2) =0$

$6x^2(2x + 3) = 0$

By zero product property;

$6x^2=0$ and 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ x=0 and x = $-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$

then;

at x = 0

f(0) = 0

and

x = -1.5

$f(-1.5) = 3(-1.5)^4 + 6(-1.5)^3 = 15.1875-20.25 = -5.0625$

Hence the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$ is, -5.0625

The measures of two supplementary angles are (2x – 8)° and (3x - 2)°. What is the measure of the

saw5 [17]

Answer:

68°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Two supplementary angles are (2x – 8)° and (3x - 2)°.

As we know that the sum of two supplementary angles are 180°. So,

→ (2x – 8)° + (3x – 2)° = 180°

→ 2x° – 8° + 3x° – 2° = 180°

→ 5x° – 10° = 180°

→ 5x° = 180° + 10°

→ 5x° = 190°

→ x = 190° ÷ 5°

→ <u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>8</u><u>°</u>

Supplementary angles are,

1st angle = (2x – 8)°

→ 2(38°) – 8

→ (76 – 8)°

→ 68°

2nd angle = (3x – 2)°

→ 3(38°) – 2

→ (114 – 2)°

→ 112°

Therefore, the measure of the smaller angle is 68°.
