During a manufacturing process, a metal part in a machine is exposed to varying temperature conditions. The manufacturer of the

machine recommends that the temperature of the machine part remain below 132 ° F. The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit x minutes after the machine is put into operation is modeled by T = -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125. Will the temperature of the part ever reach or exceed 132 ° F? Use the discriminant of a quadratic equation to decide.
A. no
B. yes

T = -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125

T = 132 => -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125 = 132

=> -0.005x^2  + 0.45x +125 -132 = 0

=> -0.005x^2 + 0.45x - 7 = 0

Discriminant: b^2 - 4ac = (0.45)^2 - 4( - 0.005)(-7) = 0.2025 - 0.14 = 0.0625

Discriminant > 0 => the equation has two real and different solutions.

The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, V=lwh. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3} into the formula for volume. You get (x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} ), and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get \frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} =  \frac{x^3}{6}. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that \frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}. For your final answer, you write 6^{-1}x^3. This corresponds to answer choice B.

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.875. What is the value of z when x= 21?
ziro4ka [17]
For z and x to be inversely proportional, there must be some constant k such that

zx=k

Given that z=0.875 when x=16, it follows that

0.875\cdot16=k\implies k=14

Then when x=21, we have

21z=14\implies z=\dfrac{14}{21}=\approx0.667
