Answer:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 = 0

Bring -x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 together using the common denominator x^2:

(-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13)/x^2 = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2:

-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

x^4 - x^3 - 14 x^2 - 2 x + 13 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/4:

13 - 2 (y + 1/4) - 14 (y + 1/4)^2 - (y + 1/4)^3 + (y + 1/4)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (115 y^2)/8 - (73 y)/8 + 2973/256 = 0

Add (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) y^2 + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64)/(4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64 = 1/64 (512 λ^3 + 96 sqrt(2973) λ^2 + 3680 λ^2 + 460 sqrt(2973) λ + 11892 λ - 5329) = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)) or y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) - 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) or y = 1/8 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) where λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x - 1/4 = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x - 1/4 = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x - 1/4 = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x - 1/4 = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Find the point of diminishing returns (x comma y )for the function R(x), where R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of doll

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The point of diminishing returns (x , y ) is (11, 21462)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The function is $R(x) = 10,000 -x^3 - 33x^2 + 800x , \ \ 0 \le x \le 20$

Here R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of dollars) and x represents the amount spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars).

Now differentiating R(x) we have

$R'(x) = -3x^2 +66x + 800$

Finding the second derivative of R(x)

$R''(x) = -6x +66$

at inflection point $R''(x) = 0$

So $-6x +66 = 0$

=> $x= 11$

substituting value of x into R(x)

$R(x) = 10,000 -(11)^3 - 33(11)^2 + 800(11) ,$

$R(x) = 21462$

Now the point of diminishing returns (x , y ) i.e (x , R(x) ) is

(11, 21462)

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimension of the soccer field is 120 ft by 64 ft

Scale during drawing = 1in to 10 ft

Hence dimension on drawing = 120/10 by 64/10 = 12 in by 6.4 in

You are part of the research group that hypothesized that relative humidity played a role in the transpiration differences. What

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

<h2>A) Population A has a high water potential and loss due to transpiration because of the increased humidity.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the hypothesis is that relative humidity affects the transpiration of the body. So, in order to prove such hypothesis, we need to find enough evidence about water loss due to higher humidity. Knowing the relative humidity as the relation between water vapor and the pressure of it.

Therefore, the right answer is A, because we need to prove that a high water potential and loss due to transpitation happens because of the increased humidity.
