Use:(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3\ (*)\\\\x^3+\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3\\=\underbrace{x^3+3\cdot x^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{x}+3\cdot x\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3}_{(*)}-3\cdot x^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{x}-3\cdot x\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^2\\\\=\left(x+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3-3x-3\cdot\dfrac{1}{x}=\left(x+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3-3\left(x+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)

therefore

x^3+\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3=110\iff \left(x+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^3-3\left(x+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)=110\\\\subtitute\ t=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\t^3-3t=110\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 110\ from\ both\ sides\\\\t^3-3t-110=0\\\\t^3-25t+22t-110=0\\\\t(t^2-25)+22(t-5)=0\ \ \ |use\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\t(t-5)(t+5)+22(t-5)=0\\\\(t-5)[t(t+5)+22]=0\iff t-5=0\ or\ \underbrace{t^2+5t+22=0}_{no\ solution}\\\\t=5\iff x+\dfrac{1}{x}=5\\\\Answer:\boxed{x+\dfrac{1}{x}=5}

A Little help here 2!!

Answer:

Unit rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

In the given table shows the number of pictures taken and how much time it took.

For first camera;

Number of pictures (unit rate) per second = \frac{15}{3} =5 pictures.

For second Camera:

Number of picture per second = \frac{48}{8} =6 pictures.

For third Camera:

Number of picture per second = \frac{18}{6} =3 pictures.

The camera that takes picture the fastest is, Second Camera.

(a)

As per the given statement: At Davidson's Bike rentals, it costs $29 to rent a bike for 8 hour.

⇒ unit rate per dollar = \frac{Number of hours }{Total cost} = \frac{8}{29} = 0.2758620 hours

Therefore, 0.227 hours (nearest to hundredths) of bike use does a customer get per dollar.

(b)

Jessica bought 18 pounds of sugar for $10.

unit rate per dollar = \frac{18}{10} =1.8 pounds

therefore, 1.8 pounds of sugar did she get per dollar.

What is the value of 36x-8y^2 when x=3 and y= -6?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

-6 gets canceled out because it gets squared. When you square a number, you multiply it by itself. Any negative number times a negative number results in a positive number. So instead of -36 its just 36

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of
Volgvan

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at (2,8).

Directrix of the parabola is y=10.

Let (x,y) be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of (x,y) from focus = Distance of (x,y) from directrix.

Therefore,

\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Hence, the equation of the parabola is y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9.

Will mark most brainlest if correct
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: each guest gets 4.19 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The cake is a circle. The area which he cuts for himself is a sector with a central angle of 120 degrees. The formula for determining the area of a sector is expressed as

Area of sector = θ/360 × πr²

Where

θ represents the central angle

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

r represents the radius of the circle.

From the diagram,

r = 4cm

Therefore, area of the cake that he cut for himself is

120/360 × 3.14 × 4²

= 16.75 cm²

The total area of the cake is

3.14 × 4² = 50.24 cm²

Therefore, the rest of the cake is

50.24 - 16.75 = 33.49 cm²

The amount that each guest gets would be

33.49/8 = 4.19 cm²
