A student writes the inequality x > 17 in interval notation as [17, POS INF]. Explain why this is incorrect.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

[ 17, + ∞ ] are used to indicate that the values inside are equal to the 2 limits, that is that x can equal 17 or + ∞

However, this as not the case as x > 17 indicates x is greater than 17 but not equal to it. This is also true for + ∞

To represent this situation parenthesis is used, that is

(17, + ∞ )

The side of the base of a square prism is decreasing at a rate of 7 kilometers per minute and the height of the prism is increas
Ber [7]

Answer:

dV = - 5.73*10⁹ m³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: What is the rate of change of the volume of the prism at that instant (in cubic meters per second) ?

A function can be dependent on one or more variables. The change in the function due to a change in one o its variables is given by the functions derivative with respect to that variable. For functions that are composed of products of its variables, we may use the product rule to determine its derivative.

The volume of a square prism with base a and height h is given by

V = a²h

When the base and height are changing, we have

dV = 2ah(da/dt) +  a²(dh/dt)

Given

a = 4 Km

h = 9 Km

da/dt = - 7 Km/min

dh/dt = 10 Km/min

we have

dV = 2(4 Km)(9 Km)(- 7 Km/min) +  (4 Km)²(10 Km/min)

⇒   dV = - 504 Km³/min + 160 Km³/min = - 344 Km³/min

⇒   dV = - 5.73*10⁹ m³/s

Move all the logarithms on the left hand side, and all the constants on the other:

\log_2(x-2) - \log_2(x) = -1

Use the rule of logarithms

\log_a(b) - \log_a(c) = \log_a\left(\dfrac{b}{c}\right)

To rewrite the equation as

\log_2\left(\dfrac{x-2}{x}\right) = -1

Evaluate 2 to the power of each side:

\dfrac{x-2}{x} = 2^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2x:

2(x-2) = x \iff 2x-4 = x \iff x = 4

Please help due by 10:10!!!!!!!!!!
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

distributing gets you 8x+ 12= 2x-2 +6x+14

8x+12=8x+12

when both sides are simplified, they are equal to each other. This means that there IS a value of x that would make the perimeters equal

not sure what the drop down answers are so hope this helps

Explain why 8 x ¾ is the same as adding ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾
Mekhanik [1.2K]

8 x ¾ is the same as adding ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾

because, when you are adding 3/4

8 times, you are 3/4 plus itself,

eight times,

so you are doing 3/4*8

6/10+6/100= how do i do this problem
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

As division is always done before addition you would divide the 6 by 10 and then divide the 6 by 100. 6 divided by 10 is equal to 0.6 as you move the decimal point to the left once. 6 divided by 100 is equal to 0.06 as you move the decimal point to the left twice. Addition is always done after division so you would add 0.6 and 0.06 together. This will give you 0.66 as your answer.
