3×2+4×5=70 prove it's true by adding a bracket​

Mathematics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago

In the current order of that equation, there is no way to place parentheses/brackets and have it equal 70. I shall explain below.

The factors of 70: 1 and 70, 2 and 35, 5 and 14, 7 and 10

Now, let's experiment with places to put parentheses:

  • 3 x (2 + 4 x 5) = 3(2 + 20) = 3(22) = 66
  • (3 x 2 + 4) x 5 = (6 + 4)(5) = (10)(5) = 50
  • 3 x (2 + 4) x 5 = 3(6)(5) = (18)(5) = 90
  • 3 x 2 + (4 x 5) = 6 + 20 = 26
  • (3 x 2) + 4 x 5 = 6 + 20 = 26
  • (3 x 2 + 4 x 5) = (6 + 20) = 26

Notice how the factors of 70 appear nowhere?

The first point is parentheses around the last three constants and it's the closest you'll get. The second point is parentheses around the first three constants and it's up there but not quite 70. The third point is around the middle constants and it's over our number. The fourth, fifth, and sixth points are basically if you were to do the problem straight-up using the order of operations but you added unnecessary parentheses.

The only way this problem <em>would</em> be possible is if you were to switch the places of the 2 and the 4 and make the equation: 3 x 4 + 2 x 5

If it were this, you could do:

(3 x 4 + 2) x 5

= (12 + 2)(5)

= (14)(5)

= 70

The factors 5 and 14 can be made thus satisfying the equality equation.

HOWEVER, I do not believe there are any properties or mathematical principles to allow you to switch the positions of the constants considering we are mixing operations in one equation. If you can think of something that would allow you to switch the positions and maintain the integrity of the equation, that is the only way you can solve this problem.

Answer:

a) -2, 1 and 2

b) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

g(x) = (x + 2)(x - 1)(x - 2)

Part a1 and a2) Finding zeros of the function

By zeroes of the function we mean the points the graph where the value of the function is zero. In order to find the zeroes of the function we equate the  function equation to zero and find the corresponding values of x. This is shown below:

0 = (x + 2)(x - 1)(x - 2)

According to the zero product property, we can write:

x + 2 = 0     ⇒     x = -2

x - 1 = 0      ⇒     x = 1

x - 2 = 0     ⇒     x = 2

Therefore, the zeroes of the given function are -2, 1 and 2. In ordered pairs we can write these as (-2, 0), (1, 0) and (2, 0)

Part b1 and b2) y-intercept of the function

y-intercept is the point on the graph where the function crosses the y-axis. Since on y-axis, the value of x coordinate is zero, in order to find the y-intercept we simply substitute zero for all occurrences of x. This is shown below:

g(0) = (0 + 2)(0 - 1)(0 - 2)

g(0) = 2(-1)(-2)

g(0) = 4

Thus, the y-intercept of the function is 4, which in ordered pair can be written as (0, 4)

Part c) End behavior of the graph

End behavior of the graph depends on:

  • Sign of the leading coefficient
  • Degree of the function

Degree of the function is 3 i.e. odd and sign of leading coefficient is positive. This means the end behavior of the graph will be:

  • Rising towards Right end
  • Falling towards Left end

Part d) Graph of polynomial

Based on all the above discussion, a graph of the function can be plotted. The graph is attached below.

-x/2 + 4 > = 6
-x/2 > = 6 - 4
-x/2 > = 2...multiply both sides by -2
x < = -4

x + 3/2 < 7/4
x < 7/4 - 3/2
x < 7/4 - 6/4
