Write a word problem for the equation 3/4•1/2=3/8

1 answer:

8 0

Jessica is baking cookies for a bake sale and needed 3/4 cups of flower in the original recipe. Jessica's mom later found out that there wouldn't be as many guests so Jessica cut the recipe in half and needs half of the original amount of flour. Jessica now needs 3/8 cups of flour.

If y= 3x + 6, what is the minimum value of (x^3)(y)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Given the statement: if y =3x+6.

Find the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$

Let f(x) = $(x^3)(y)$

Substitute the value of y ;

$f(x)=(x^3)(3x+6)$

Distribute the terms;

$f(x)= 3x^4 + 6x^3$

The derivative value of f(x) with respect to x.

$\frac{df}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}(3x^4+6x^3)$

Using $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$

we have;

$\frac{df}{dx} =(12x^3+18x^2)$

Set $\frac{df}{dx} = 0$

then;

$(12x^3+18x^2) =0$

$6x^2(2x + 3) = 0$

By zero product property;

$6x^2=0$ and 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ x=0 and x = $-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$

then;

at x = 0

f(0) = 0

and

x = -1.5

$f(-1.5) = 3(-1.5)^4 + 6(-1.5)^3 = 15.1875-20.25 = -5.0625$

Hence the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$ is, -5.0625

What is the length of side AB of parallelogram ABCD? units 4g - 8 B q+4

Andrews [41]

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

» Concepts

Parallelogram Side Theorem states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, meaning they have the same length.

» Application

In this case, we're asked to apply the theorem to find the value of q and then find the length of AB. Thus, we have to set up the equation 4q - 8 = q + 4.

» Solving

Step 1: Subtract q from both sides.
