Help needed plezAns in (ii) is 1.5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago

OK first let's check the x=1.5. 

y = \frac x 6 (x^2 - 10)

y = 1-2x

1-2x = \frac x 6 (x^2 - 10)

6-12x = x^3 - 10 x

x^3 + 2x-6 = 0

Oh my, that's called a depressed cubic, no x^2 term. There's a formula for these very much like the quadratic formula but you're probably not quite old enough for that.  Anyway, x\approx 1.45616 \approx 1.5 is a solution, but that's not what they're asking.  They are asking us to compare 

x^3 + 2x-6 = 0

with

x^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0

and conclude b=0, c= 2, d=-6

It turns out we did need all the rest of it.  Save those brain cells, there's lots more math coming.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love it when the student asks for more.  Here's the formula for a depressed cubic. I won't derive it here (though I did earlier today, coincidentally, but I'm probably not allowed to link to my Quora answer "what led to the discovery of complex numbers" from here).  We use the trick of putting coefficients on the coefficients to avoid fractions.

x^3 + 3 p x = 2 q

has solutions

x = \sqrt[3] { q - \sqrt{p^3 + q^2} } + \sqrt[3] {q + \sqrt{p^3 + q^2} } 




That's pretty simple, though sometimes we end up having to take the cube roots of complex numbers, which isn't that helpful.  Let's try it out on


x^3 + 2x=6


That's p=2/3, q=3 so

x = \sqrt[3] { 3 - \sqrt{(2/3)^3+9} } + \sqrt[3] {3 + \sqrt{(2/3)^3+9} }

x = \sqrt[3] { 3 - \sqrt{753}/9 } +\sqrt[3]{3 + \sqrt{753}/9 }

x \approx 1.4561642461359084609748069666

The width of a rectangle is 22 inches and the perimeter is at least 165 inches. what inequality could be used to find the minimu
Lera25 [3.4K]
The answer is D.

We know that a rectangle has two widths that are equal and two lengths that are equal. One width is 22, so the other one is also 22.

If you wanted to find the lengths, you would add both widths together (same as multiplying a width by two) and add that to the two lengths equaled to the perimeter.

So, 22 * 2 + 2x = perimeter of rectangle. We added all four sides together.

We know that the perimeter is at least 165, so 22 * 2 + 2x = 165. Here's the twist. They want the most minimum possible length. So, what answer choice gives you 165 or less for the most minimum or smallest length while still getting to 165?
That is D.
22 * 2 + 2x < = 165.
Hope this helped!

Your school district cancels schools when more than 2.5 inches of snow accumulate on the ground each hour. Snow is currently acc
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Extra snow needed > 0. 3 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cancelation occurs when > 2.5 inch of snow accumulates each hour

Accumulation rate = 11/5 inch per hour

Extra snow Accumulation needed to cancel. School ;

Extra snow needed > cancelation volume - current rate

Extra snow needed > (2.5 - 11/5)

Extra snow needed > 0. 3 inch
