Solve the following equation. 2x - 1 ≤ x 5

1 answer:

5 0

2x−1≤x5

Let's find the critical points of the inequality.

2x−1=x^5

2x−1−x^5=x^5−x^5 (Subtract x^5 from both sides)

−x^5+2x−1=0

(−x+1)(x^4+x^3+x^2+x−1)=0 (Factor left side of equation)

−x+1=0 or x^4+x^3+x^2+x−1=0 (Set factors equal to 0)

x=1 or x=0.51879 or x=−1.290649

What is the volume of the prism?

fgiga [73]

Answer:

67 ½ units³ or 135/2 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = Base area × height

In case:

width is 6 the height is 4 1/2 and the length is 2 1/2

2 ½ = 5/2

4 ½ = 9/2

Volume = (6 × 5/2) × 9/2

= 15 × 9/2

= 135/2

= 67 ½ units³

Someone drove 20 miles in 24 minutes at this rate how many miles did they drive in 6 minutes

nikklg [1K]

Distance = rate * time (I will abbreviate as d = rt)
d = rt, so r = d/t
r = 20mi/24min
= 0.833333 mi/min.

d = rt again for the new time
d = 0.8333333 mi/min * 6 min = 5 miles

Find an equation for the parabola with focus at (-5,-4) and vertex at (-5,-3)

sattari [20]

Answer:

$(x+5)^{2}=-4(y+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Focus point = (-5, -4)

Vertex point = (-5, -3)

We need to find the equation for the parabola.

Solution:

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same,

so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is above the focus, this is a right-side down parabola and p is negative.

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k) and the focus is at (h, k + p). So, directrix is y = k - p.

Substitute y = -4 and k = -3.

$-4 = -3+p$
