This question basically asks for the LCM of 3 and 5, which is 3 x 5 =15
This is the answer: 15
Check : The first rectangle had 1/3 shaded; ( one in every three parts)
So for 15 parts  altogether, 5 would be shaded ( 1/3 = 5/15)
The second rectangle had 2/5 shaded ( two for every five parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 6 would be shaded (2/5 = 6/15)

How to calculate this using a quadratic equation? <br><br> 1.56= (x+0)(x+0) / (2-x)(1-x)
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

x = ((18 sqrt(755833) - 17050)^(1/3) - (284 (-1)^(2/3))/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))/(15 2^(2/3)) + 1/3 or x = 1/3 + 142/15 ((-2)/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3) - 1/15 ((-1)/2)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3) or x = 1/3 - (2^(1/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(2/3) + 284)/(15 2^(2/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

1.56 = ((x + 0) (x + 0) (1 - x))/(2 - x)

1.56 = 39/25 and ((x + 0) (x + 0) (1 - x))/(2 - x) = (x^2 (1 - x))/(2 - x):

39/25 = (x^2 (1 - x))/(2 - x)

39/25 = ((1 - x) x^2)/(2 - x) is equivalent to ((1 - x) x^2)/(2 - x) = 39/25:

(x^2 (1 - x))/(2 - x) = 39/25

Cross multiply:

25 x^2 (1 - x) = 39 (2 - x)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

25 x^2 - 25 x^3 = 39 (2 - x)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

25 x^2 - 25 x^3 = 78 - 39 x

Subtract 78 - 39 x from both sides:

-25 x^3 + 25 x^2 + 39 x - 78 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

25 x^3 - 25 x^2 - 39 x + 78 = 0

Eliminate the quadratic term by substituting y = x - 1/3:

78 - 39 (y + 1/3) - 25 (y + 1/3)^2 + 25 (y + 1/3)^3 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

25 y^3 - (142 y)/3 + 1705/27 = 0

Divide both sides by 25:

y^3 - (142 y)/75 + 341/135 = 0

Change coordinates by substituting y = z + λ/z, where λ is a constant value that will be determined later:

341/135 - 142/75 (z + λ/z) + (z + λ/z)^3 = 0

Multiply both sides by z^3 and collect in terms of z:

z^6 + z^4 (3 λ - 142/75) + (341 z^3)/135 + z^2 (3 λ^2 - (142 λ)/75) + λ^3 = 0

Substitute λ = 142/225 and then u = z^3, yielding a quadratic equation in the variable u:

u^2 + (341 u)/135 + 2863288/11390625 = 0

Find the positive solution to the quadratic equation:

u = (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)/6750

Substitute back for u = z^3:

z^3 = (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)/6750

Taking cube roots gives (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3)/(15 2^(1/3)) times the third roots of unity:

z = (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3)/(15 2^(1/3)) or z = -1/15 (-1/2)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3) or z = ((-1)^(2/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3))/(15 2^(1/3))

Substitute each value of z into y = z + 142/(225 z):

y = 1/15 ((9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)/2)^(1/3) - 142/15 (-1)^(2/3) (2/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3) or y = 142/15 ((-2)/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3) - 1/15 ((-1)/2)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3) or y = 1/15 (-1)^(2/3) ((9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)/2)^(1/3) - 142/15 (2/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3)

Bring each solution to a common denominator and simplify:

y = ((18 sqrt(755833) - 17050)^(1/3) - (284 (-1)^(2/3))/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))/(15 2^(2/3)) or y = 142/15 ((-2)/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3) - 1/15 ((-1)/2)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3) or y = -(2^(1/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(2/3) + 284)/(15 2^(2/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))

Substitute back for x = y + 1/3:

Answer: x = ((18 sqrt(755833) - 17050)^(1/3) - (284 (-1)^(2/3))/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))/(15 2^(2/3)) + 1/3 or x = 1/3 + 142/15 ((-2)/(8525 - 9 sqrt(755833)))^(1/3) - 1/15 ((-1)/2)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(755833) - 8525)^(1/3) or x = 1/3 - (2^(1/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(2/3) + 284)/(15 2^(2/3) (8525 - 9 sqrt(755833))^(1/3))

With a ten dollar bill how much change do i get back if i buy four items, priced at 1.79, 2.99, 4.37 and 0.33
enot [183]

Add the price of the items bought and then subtract that from ten dollars:


Total bought:  1.79 + 2.99 + 4.37 + 0.33 = $9.48


Change back: 10.00 - 9.48 = 0.52


you would get $0.52 back in change.

What is the volume of a cylinder if the radius is 3.2 centimeters and the height is 5 centimeters
Illusion [34]

Answer:

<h2>          V ≈ 160.85 cm³ ≈ 0,161 l</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder:  V = π×r² × h

r = 3.2 cm

h = 5 cm

Volume:

V = π×(3.2)²×5 = 51.2π cm³ = 160.8495.... cm³ ≈ 160.85 cm³

Find the inverse of the function.<br> y=x2 + 4x + 4
adoni [48]

Answer: To find the inverse of the function, we need to make x as a function of y and at the final step make a switch between x and y (i.e. make x as y and y as x)

y = x² + 4x + 4  ⇒⇒⇒ factor the quadratic equation

y = (x+2)(x+2)

y = (x+2)²         ⇒⇒⇒ take the square root to both sides

√y = x+2

x = √y - 2         ⇒⇒⇒ x becomes a function of y

final step:

∴ y = √x - 2   ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function

So, as a conclusion:

f(x) = y = x² + 4x + 4  ⇒⇒⇒ the given function

f⁻¹(x) = y = √x - 2       ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
