Multiply the equation with -
a^2-46a+480=0
(a-30) (a-16)=0
a=16 or a=30
hope that helps

a = 30
a = 16

-a² + 46a -480 = 0

(-a + 30) (a -16) = 0
(-a)(a) + (-a)(-16) + 30(a) + 30(-16) = 0
-a² + 16a + 30a -480 = 0
-a² + 46a - 480 = 0

(-a + 30) = 0   ; (a - 16) = 0
-a = -30          ;   a = 16
 a = 30

To check:
a = 30
-(30)² + 46(30) - 480 = 0
-900 + 1380 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0

a = 16
-(16)² + 46(16) - 480 = 0
-256 + 736 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0

If f(x) = 7 + 4x and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over 2 x EndFraction, what is the value of (StartFraction f Over g EndFraction) (5)
Degger [83]

Answer:

\frac{f}{g}(5) = 270 ⇒ Last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* If f(x) = 7 + 4x

* If g(x) = \frac{1}{2x}

* We want to find \frac{f}{g}(5)

- Lets find at first \frac{f}{g}(x)

∵ f(x) = 7 + 4x

∵ g(x) = \frac{1}{2x}

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{7+4x}{\frac{1}{2x}}

- Lets divide the numerator by the denominator

∵ The numerator is 7 + 4x

∵ The denominator is \frac{1}{2x}

∴ (7 + 4x) ÷ \frac{1}{2x}

- Lets reverse the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal

  the fraction after the division sign

∴ (7 + 4x) × \frac{2x}{1}

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x) = 2x(7 + 4x)

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x) = 14x + 8x²

- Now substitute x by 5

∴  \frac{f}{g}(5) = 14(5) + 8(5)² = 70 + 200 = 270

∴  \frac{f}{g}(5) = 270

Subtract 37/55-32/55
lana66690 [7]
The answer would be 5/55 because if you subtract 32 from 37 you would end up with 5 and because the denominator was the same you keep the denominator the same.

You are creating an open top box with a piece of cardboard that is 16 x 30“. What size of square should be cut out of each corne
Arada [10]

Answer:

\frac{10}{3} \ inches of square should be cut out of each corner to create a box with the largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimension of cardboard= 16 x 30“.

As per the dimension given, we know Lenght is 30 inches and width is 16 inches. Also the cardboard has 4 corners which should be cut out.

Lets assume the cut out size of each corner be "x".

∴ Size of cardboard after 4 corner will be cut out is:

Length (l)= 30-2x

Width (w)= 16-2x

Height (h)= x

Now, finding the volume of box after 4 corner been cut out.

Formula; Volume (v)= l\times w\times h

Volume(v)= (30-2x)\times (16-2x)\times x

Using distributive property of multiplication

⇒ Volume(v)= 4x^{3} -92x^{2} +480x

Next using differentiative method to find box largest volume, we will have \frac{dv}{dx}= 0

\frac{d (4x^{3} -92x^{2} +480x)}{dx} = \frac{dv}{dx}

Differentiating the value

⇒\frac{dv}{dx} = 12x^{2} -184x+480

taking out 12 as common in the equation and subtituting the value.

⇒ 0= 12(x^{2} -\frac{46x}{3} +40)

solving quadratic equation inside the parenthesis.

⇒12(x^{2} -12x-\frac{10x}{x} +40)=0

Dividing 12 on both side

⇒[x(x-12)-\frac{10}{3} (x-12)]= 0

We can again take common as (x-12).

⇒ x(x-12)[x-\frac{10}{3} ]=0

∴(x-\frac{10}{3} ) (x-12)= 0

We have two value for x, which is 12 and \frac{10}{3}

12 is invalid as, w= (16-2x)= 16-2\times 12

∴ 24 inches can not be cut out of 16 inches width.

Hence, the cut out size from cardboard is \frac{10}{3}\ inches

Now, subtituting the value of x to find volume of the box.

Volume(v)= (30-2x)\times (16-2x)\times x

⇒ Volume(v)= (30-2\times \frac{10}{3} )\times (16-2\times \frac{10}{3})\times \frac{10}{3}

⇒ Volume(v)= (30-\frac{20}{3} ) (16-\frac{20}{3}) (\frac{10}{3} )

∴  Volume(v)= 725.93 inches³
