PLEASE HELP!!This is joshs solution for the equation x^2-6x-7=0: x^2-6x-7=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
iren [92.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  no. see below

Step-by-step explanation:

This much of Josh's working is correct:

  x^2-6x=7

  x^2-6x+9=7+9

  (x-3)^2=16

At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...

  x -3 = ±4

  x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4

  x = 7 or -1

_____

Josh reported values of x that would match ...

  x -3 = ±16

He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.

A chocolate manufacturing company produces two types of chocolate: A and B. Ingredients required for manufacturing the products
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is units of milk

Let y units of cacao

Given that :

The company's production plant has a total of 22 units of milk and 46 units of cacao available.

2x + y ≤ 22 (2 unit of milk for each of A and 1 for B; 22 units available)

4x + 3y ≤46 (4 unit of milk for each of A and 3 for B; 46 units available

Graph the constraint equations and find the point of intersection to determine the feasibility region.

The intersection point (algebraically, or from the graph) is (10, 2)

The objective function for the problem is the total profit, which is $6.2 per unit for A and $4.2 per unit for B: 6.2x + 4.2y.

Hence, we substitute (10, 2)  into the above function:

6.2*10 + 4.2*2 = 70.4

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

The nutrition information on the cereal box says that a 1​/2​-cup serving provides 150 calories and 3 grams of dietary fiber. At
Amanda [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

200 calories and 4 grams

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the nutrition information on the cereal box, we know that 1/2 cup gives you 150 calories and 3 grams of dietary fiber.

So one cup of cereal will give you the double of these nutrients:

300 calories and 6 grams of dietary fiber

Therefore, finding the number of calories and grams of fiber in 2​/3​-cup serving:

Number of calories = \frac{2}{3} × 300 = 200 calories

Grams of fiber = \frac{2}{3} × 6 = 4 grams
