The sum of twelve and a number is no greater than sum of twice the number and -8

1 answer:

7 0

1. Write as an algebraic equation:

12 + n ≤ 2n - 8

2. Solve for n.

12 + n - 12 ≤ 2n - 8 - 12

n ≤ 2n - 20

n - 2n ≤ 2n - 20 - 2n

-n ≤ -20

Multiply both sides by -1 (this means you must flip the inequality sign).

n ≥ 20

FINAL ANSWER: n ≥ 20

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask for clarification.

A)

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dA}{dt}=\pi \cdot 2r\cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{\frac{dA}{dt}}{2\pi r}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dr}{dt} \right|_{r=3000}\implies \cfrac{1200}{2\pi \cdot 3000}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\$

B)

$\bf A=\pi r^2\qquad A=490000\implies 490000=\pi r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{490000}{\pi }}=r
\\\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dr}{dt} \right|_{r=\sqrt{\frac{490000}{\pi }}}\implies \cfrac{1200}{2\pi \cdot \sqrt{\frac{490000}{\pi }}}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}
