Assume you mean 3x^2 when you typed the question.

3x^2+14x+16=0
(3x+8)(x+2)=0

x=-8/3 or -2

Answer:

option (A) is correct.

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation $3x^2+14x+16=0$

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given equation $3x^2+14x+16=0$

we will solve the given quadratic equation using middle term split method, we have,

14x can be writen as 6x + 8x , we have,

$3x^2+14x+16=0 \Rightarrow 3x^2+6x+8x+16=0$

Taking 3x common from frst two terms and 8 common from lasttwo term , we have,

$\Rightarrow 3x(x+2)+8(x+2)=0$

Taking (x + 2) common, we have,

$\Rightarrow (x+2)(3x+8)=0$

Thus, Apply zero product rule, $a\cdot b=0 \Rightarrow a =0 \ or\ b= 0$

$\Rightarrow (x+2)=0$ or $\Rightarrow (3x+8)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-2$ or $\Rightarrow x=\frac{-8}{3}$

Thus, option (A) is correct.

If a+b+c =0 show that a³+b³+c³= 3abc

slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=0, a+b=-c,a+c=-b, b+c=-a

(a+b+c)^3=(a+b+c)^2*(a+b+c)=(a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc)*(a+b+c)=

a^3+ab^2+ac^2+2a^2b+2a^2c+2abc+a^2b+b^3+bc^2+2ab^2+2abc+2b^2c+a^2c+b^2c+c^3+2abc+2ac^2+2bc^2=a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2b+3a^2c+3ac^2+3ab^2+3bc^2+3b^2c+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(b+c)+3c^2(a+b)+3b^2(a+c)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(-a)+3c^2*(-c)+3b^2*(-b)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3-3a^3-3c^3-3b^3+6abc=

6abc-2a^3-2b^3-2c^3=2(3abc-a^3-b^3-c^3)=

2*[3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)]=0

so 3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)=0

so a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc

Find the values of m and b that make the following function differentiable.

dimaraw [331]

Now, bearing in mind that, for a graph, to be "differentiable", means a "smooth transition", not an abrupt edge or a "cusp", the first subfunction of the piece-wise is just a quadratic, the second subfunction is a linear, well, so the linear needs to hit the quadratic "smoothly", not make an abrupt edge, for that, the linear must continue the quadratic from 2 onwards, since 2 is the range edge.

now, what is the piece-wise when x = 2? well, f(2) = x² or (2)² or 4

that means, the linear needs to hit it at that point, to make it so, let's make it the slope of the linear, the same as the quadratic's.

what's the quadratic's slope? well, simple enough

$\bf \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2x \right|_{x=2}\implies 4\impliedby \textit{this means }
\begin{array}{llll}
mx+b\\
\uparrow \\
4
\end{array}$

so we have y = 4x + b

now, recall, for the quadratic, when x =2, y = 4, so for the linear, when x = 2, y = 4 as well, this means

$\bf 4 = 4(2) + b\implies 4=8+b\implies 4-8=b\implies \boxed{-4=b}
\\\\\\
mx+b\implies 4x-4\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)=
\begin{cases}
x^2&x\le 2\\
4x-4&x\ \textgreater \ 2
\end{cases}$

check the picture below.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

the number of short sleeves sold is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of short sleeves sold is shown below:

Given that

The clothing store sold 98 long sleeve shirts

And, the ratio of short sleeve to long sleeve is 3:7

So, the number of short sleeves sold is

= 98 × 3 ÷ 7

= 42

Hence, the number of short sleeves sold is 42
