Answer:

x = 6 (2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3)) + 7 or x = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-1)^(1/3) - 2^(1/3)) + 7 or x = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-2)^(1/3) - 1) + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

1/2 (x + 5)^3 = (x - 1)^3

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

1/2 (x + 5)^3 = x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3 x - 1

Subtract x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3 x - 1 from both sides:

1 - 3 x + 3 x^2 - x^3 + 1/2 (x + 5)^3 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

-x^3/2 + (21 x^2)/2 + (69 x)/2 + 127/2 = 0

Bring -x^3/2 + (21 x^2)/2 + (69 x)/2 + 127/2 together using the common denominator 2:

1/2 (-x^3 + 21 x^2 + 69 x + 127) = 0

Multiply both sides by 2:

-x^3 + 21 x^2 + 69 x + 127 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

x^3 - 21 x^2 - 69 x - 127 = 0

Eliminate the quadratic term by substituting y = x - 7:

-127 - 69 (y + 7) - 21 (y + 7)^2 + (y + 7)^3 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^3 - 216 y - 1296 = 0

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

-1296 - 216 (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 - 216) - 1296 z^3 + z^2 (3 λ^2 - 216 λ) + λ^3 = 0

Substitute λ = 72 and then u = z^3, yielding a quadratic equation in the variable u:

u^2 - 1296 u + 373248 = 0

Find the positive solution to the quadratic equation:

u = 864

Substitute back for u = z^3:

z^3 = 864

Taking cube roots gives 6 2^(2/3) times the third roots of unity:

z = 6 2^(2/3) or z = -6 (-1)^(1/3) 2^(2/3) or z = 6 (-2)^(2/3)

Substitute each value of z into y = z + 72/z:

y = 6 2^(1/3) + 6 2^(2/3) or y = 6 (-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3) - 6 (-1)^(1/3) 2^(2/3) or y = 6 (-2)^(2/3) - 6 (-2)^(1/3)

Bring each solution to a common denominator and simplify:

y = 6 (2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3)) or y = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-1)^(1/3) - 2^(1/3)) or y = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-2)^(1/3) - 1)

Substitute back for x = y + 7:

Answer: x = 6 (2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3)) + 7 or x = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-1)^(1/3) - 2^(1/3)) + 7 or x = 6 (-2)^(1/3) ((-2)^(1/3) - 1) + 7

Factor by grouping. 9c^3-12c^2+18c-24
xeze [42]

Answer:

9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24

Required

Factor

Group into 2

[9c^3 - 12c^2] - [18c + 24]

Factorize each group

3c^2[3c - 4] - 6[3c - 4]

Factor out 3c - 4

[3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]

Hence:

9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]

Suppose that the function f is defined, for all real numbers, as follows.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

The solutions of the function are:

  • When f(x) = -4, the solution is -4
  • When f(x) = -2, the solution is -5/2
  • When f(x) = 0, the solution is -1

<h3>How to solve for the equation </h3>

The equation is given as

\frac{3}{4} x-1\\\\

When x = -4

3/4 * -4 -1

= -12/4 - 1

= -4

When x = -2

3/4*(-4) - 1

= -6/4 - 1/1

Take the lcm

-10/4

= -5/2

When x = 0

3/4(0) - 1

= -1

When f(x) = -4, the solution is -4

When f(x) = -2, the solution is -5/2

When f(x) = 0, the solution is -1

The art teacher has 30 boxes of crayons with 16 cans in each box she gives the students 10 of the boxes to use explain how to fi
Mamont248 [21]
I'm going to assume you meant crayon instead of can:

First step is to find how many boxes she/he has left.

30 - 10 = 20 

So the teacher has 20 boxes left;

Now, knowing that each box has 16 crayons, then we simply multiply the 20 by 16 to find the total number of crayons left over:

20 x 16 = 320 

So the art teacher has 320 crayons left over.

Hope this helps!
