Please explain with working!!! Find the set of values of x that satisfy the inequality 9x^2-15x<6

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic inequality, first solve it normally like you would for a normal quadratic equation. We have:

9x^2-15x

Ignore the less than sign and replace it with an equal sign and solve the quadratic for its zeros:

9x^2-15x=6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

9x^2-15x-6=0

Divide everything by 3:

3x^2-5x-2=0

Factor. Find two numbers that equal (3)(-2)=-6 that add up to -5.

-6 and 1 works. Thus:

3x^2-6x+x-2=0\\3x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\(3x+1)(x-2)=0

Find the x using the Zero Product Property:

3x+1=0 \text{ or }x-2=0\\x=-1/3\text{ or }x=2

Now, we need to replace the equal signs with symbols again. To do so, we need to test which symbol to place. Let's do the first zero first.

So, the first zero is:

x=-1/3

Assume that the correct symbol is >. Thus,

x>-1/3

Now, pick any number that is greater than -1/3. I'll pick 0 since it's the easiest. Now, plug 0 back into the very original inequality. If it works, then the sign is correct, if it doesn't, then simply use the opposite one. Therefore:

9x^2-15x

0 is indeed less than six, so our first correct solution is:

x>-1/3

For the second one, do the same thing. We have:

x=2

Assume that the correct symbol is <. Thus:

x

Again, pick any number less than 2. I'm going to use 0. Plug 0 back into the original equation

9x^2-15x

Again, this is correct. Therefore, x<2 is also the correct inequality.

So together, we have:

x>-1/3 \text{ and } x

Together, we can write them as:

-1/3

(Note that we don't need to worry about the "or equal to" part since the original inequality didn't have it.)

Compute the slope of the line intersecting the points (1, 2) and (3, 8). *
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 8)

m = \frac{8-2}{3-1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3

Can someone please help me with 10-16 it’s due tomorrow!!! Please
VMariaS [17]
10) V=πr² *h= π*10²*12≈3770
11) V=A(base)*h= (3√3/2)*(9²)*10=2104
A(base)=(P*a)/2=(6*9*3√3)/2=9*9*3√3/2

12)V=πr² *h=π*18² *6≈6107
13)V=4*3*12=144
14) h(triangle)=√(5²-3²)=√16=4
A(base)=(3*4)/2=6
V=A(base)* height (prism)=6*2=12
15)  V=A(base)*h= (3√3/2)*(6²)*11= 1029
16)V=A(base)*h=2(1+√2)5²*22≈2656

Find the limit. Use l'Hospital's Rule if appropriate. If there is a more elementary method, consider using it. lim x→0+ (2x + 1)
ElenaW [278]

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0^+}(2x+1)\cot x=\lim_{x\to0^+}\frac{2x+1}{\tan x}

As x\to0, the numerator approaches 1 while \tan x\to0, but since x\to0 from above we have \tan x>0, which suggests the limit is +\infty.
