Answer:

x < 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first expand the parentheses on both sides. Remember that when expanding parentheses, the result will be the sum of the products of the "outside number" with each of the "inside number".

On the left, the parenthetical expression is: -6(x + 4). Here, the outside term is -6 and the inside terms are x and 4. So:

-6(x + 4) = -6 * x + (-6) * 4 = -6x - 24

On the right, the parenthetical expression is: -5(x + 6). Here, the outside term is -5 and the inside terms are x and 6. So:

-5(x + 6) = -5 * x + (-5) * 6 = -5x - 30

Now put these back in:

-6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)

-6x - 24 + 9 > -5x - 30

-6x - 15 > -5x - 30

x < 15

Thus the answer is x < 15.

Hope this helps!

Let $f(x) = x^2$ and $g(x) = \sqrt{x}$. Find the area bounded by $f(x)$ and $g(x).$

Anna [14]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{1\dfrac{1}{3}\ u^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's sketch graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) on one coordinate system (attachment).

Let's calculate the common points:

$x^2=\sqrt{x}\qquad\text{square of both sides}\\\\(x^2)^2=\left(\sqrt{x}\right)^2\\\\x^4=x\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^4-x=0\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\x(x^3-1)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x^3-1=0\\\\x^3-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x^3=1\to x=\sqrt[3]1\to x=1$

The area to be calculated is the area in the interval [0, 1] bounded by the graph g(x) and the axis x minus the area bounded by the graph f(x) and the axis x.

We have integrals:

$\int\limits_{0}^1(\sqrt{x})dx-\int\limits_{0}^1(x^2)dx=(*)\\\\\int(\sqrt{x})dx=\int\left(x^\frac{1}{2}\right)dx=\dfrac{2}{3}x^\frac{3}{2}=\dfrac{2x\sqrt{x}}{3}\\\\\int(x^2)dx=\dfrac{1}{3}x^3\\\\(*)=\left(\dfrac{2x\sqrt{x}}{2}\right]^1_0-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x^3\right]^1_0=\dfrac{2(1)\sqrt{1}}{2}-\dfrac{2(0)\sqrt{0}}{2}-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}(1)^3-\dfrac{1}{3}(0)^3\right)\\\\=\dfrac{2(1)(1)}{2}-\dfrac{2(0)(0)}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}(1)}+\dfrac{1}{3}(0)=2-0-\dfrac{1}{3}+0=1\dfrac{1}{3}$

4x+y = 20
3x+y = 2
4x+y-3x-y = 20-2
x = 18

3x+y = 2
3.18 + y = 2
54 + y = 2
y = -52

Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts over the weekend. She plans to split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

1- 3/20

2- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts over the weekend, and she plans to split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings, to determine what fraction of the shirts will Lenox iron each day after school, and, if lenox has 40 shirts, how many shirts will she need to go on Thursday and Friday, the following calculations must be performed:

1---

(3/4) / 5 = X

0.15 = X

15/100 = X

3/20 = X

So each day she will iron 3/20 of her shirts.

2---

40 x (3/20) x 2 = X

6 x 2 = X

12 = X

So on Thursday and Friday she will iron 12 shirts.
