Solve the equation for all values of x in simplest form (x + 3)^2 = -16

Mathematics

Arlecino [84]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -7 or  x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

    (x + 3)²  = -16

 

Problem;

   Solve for x;

Solution:

 To solve for x; we use the factorization method;

     Take -16 to the left of the equation;

      (x + 3)²  = -16

         (x + 3)² + 16 = 0

       (x+ 3)² + 4²  = 0

if    x² + y²  = (x + y)(x - y)

     So;

       (x + 3 + 4) (x + 3 - 4) = 0

       (x + 7)(x - 1) = 0

       x + 7  = 0 or x - 1 = 0

      x = -7 or  x = 1

R+2r=105 what is answer
Alik [6]

Answer:

If you're trying to solve for r. r=35

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

r+2r=105

(r+2r)=105(Combine Like Terms)

3r=105

3r=105

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3r/3 = 105/3

r=35

A rectangular box has length x and width 3. The volume of the box is given by y = 3x(8 – x). The greatest x-intercept of the gra
CaHeK987 [17]

Consider rectangular box with

  • length x units (x≥0);
  • width 3 units;
  • height (8-x) units (8-x≥0, then x≤8).

The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as

V_{box}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.

In your case,  

V_{box}=3\cdot x\cdot (8-x).

Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).

From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.

Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).

Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)
