You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+9=63
6x=63-9
6x=54
x=54/6
x=9
I encourage you to figure out the justification yourself.
Answer:
0 < t < 
After 1.67 days the stocks would be sold out.
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of a certain computer stock after t days is modeled by
p(t) = 100 + 20t - 6t²
Now we will take the derivative of the given function and equate it to zero to find the critical points,
p'(t) = 20 - 12t = 0
t = 
t =
days
Therefore, there are two intervals in which the given function is defined
(0,
) and (
, ∞)
For the interval (0,
),
p'(1) = 20 - 12(1) = 20
For the interval (
, ∞),
p'(2) = 20 - 12(2) = -4
Positive value of p'(t) in the interval (0,
) indicates that the function is increasing.
0 < t < 
Since at the point t = 1.67 days curve is showing the maximum, so the stocks should be sold after 1.67 days.
