What helped me find the answer if I am correct would be that I drew a number line to represent the distance the boat is moving from the port. The first thing I did was I drew an arrow pointing to the right all the was to the number 12 and then I drew another arrow pointing to the left to show that the boat moved 5 miles to the east and the the question asked now how many miles is the boat from the port so the answer would be 7 miles. P.s. Sorry this is soooo long.

Prove 2^n > n for all n equal to or greater than 1. I mostly need help with how to solve the problem when it is greater than
noname [10]
If n is an integer, you can use induction. First show the inequality holds for n=1. You have 2^1=2>1, which is true.

Now assume this holds in general for n=k, i.e. that 2^k>k. We want to prove the statement then must hold for n=k+1.

Because 2^k>k, you have

2^{k+1}=2\times2^k>2k

and this must be greater than k+1 for the statement to be true, so we require

2k>k+1

for k>1. Well this is obviously true, because solving the inequality gives 3k>1\implies k>\dfrac13. So you're done.

If you n is any real number, you can use derivatives to show that 2^n increases monotonically and faster than n.

The function f(x) = 2x + 510 represents the number of calories burned when exercising, where x is the number of hours spent exer
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 789 calories burned while combining diet with 2 hours of exercise

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

f(x)=2x+510

g(x)=200x-125

we know that

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)

substitute

(f+g)(x)=2x+510+200x-125

(f+g)(x)=202x+385

Find (f+g)(2)

For x=2 hours

substitute

(f+g)(2)=202(2)+385

(f+g)(2)=789\ calories

therefore

The answer is

789 calories burned while combining diet with 2 hours of exercise

What is the correct answer?
egoroff_w [7]
X⁴ - 81  = x⁴ - 9² (Difference of 2 squares, then we an write it:


(x²-3)(x²+3) =0, → then (x²-3) = 0 and (x²+3)=0

(x²-3) = 0 → x² = 3 → x = +√3 and x = -√3
(x²+3) =0 → x² = -3 → x = +√-3  and x = -√3→ or  i√3 AND  x = -i√3

A{ -3 , +3 , -i√3 , i√3}

I need help, does anyone understand this?
Mama L [17]

a so-called zero or solution is really just an x-intercept, in which case we set the dependent variable to 0, namely y = h(x) = 0 and solve for x to get it.

\bf h(x)=4x^2-8x-60\implies \stackrel{h(x)}{0}=4x^2-8x-60\implies \stackrel{\textit{dividing by 4}}{0=x^2-2x-15} \\\\\\ 0=(x-5)(x+3)\implies x= \begin{cases} 5\\ \boxed{-3} \end{cases}

why is -3 the smallest? well, -3 is much smaller than 5 :), the further to the left you go on the number line, the smaller the number.
