Answer:

x²-5x-6

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as x²+ax+bx-6 to find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+d=-5

a+d=-5ab=1(-6)=-6

Since ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. Since a+b is negative, the negative number has greater absolute value than the positive. List all such integer pairs that give product -6.

1,-6

1,-62,-3

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1−6=−5

1−6=−52-3=-1

The solution is the pair that gives sum -5.

a=-6

b=1

Rewrite x²5x-6 as

(x²-6x)+(x-6)

Factor out x in x²-6x.

x(x-6)+x-6

Factor out common term x−6 by using distributive property.

(x-6)(x+1)

1)
2x^2 - 13x - 24 = 0;
the discriminant is : ( - 13 )^2 - 4 * 2 * ( -24 ) = 169 +  192 = 361 = 19^2 => we have two different rational-number solutions ;

2) 
[ -2( x + 2 ) - 3( x - 5 ) ] / [ ( x - 5 )( x + 2 ) ] < 0 <=>

( -5x + 11 ) /  [ ( x - 5 )( x + 2 ) ] < 0

We have 2 situations :
a)  - 5x + 11 < 0 and  ( x - 5 )( x + 2 ) > 0 => x∈ ( 11 / 5 , + oo ) and x∈( -oo, - 2 )U
( 5 , + oo ) => x∈( 5, +oo);
b)   - 5x + 11 >  0 and  ( x - 5 )( x + 2 ) <  0 => x∈(-oo, 11/5) and x∈( -2, 5 ) =>
x∈( -2, 11/5 );

Finally, x∈ U (-2, 11 / 5 ) U ( 5, +oo).

According to postal regulations, a carton is classified as "oversized" if the sum of its height and girth (the perimeter of its
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Square base dimension = 15 inches

Maximum volume = 7200 inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V = x^2y ..... eq 1

Let the square base be x and the height y

Oversize formular is given by

Y + 4x = 92

Y= 92 - 4x .....eq 2

Put eq 2 into eq 1

V = x^2 ( 92 - 4x^3)

V= 92x^2 - 4x^3

Using derivatives

V= 184x - 12x^2

V'= 0 = 184x - 12x^2

X(184 -12x)

X=0

X = 184/12 = 15.33 approximately 15 inches

Maximum Volume = V= 92(15)^2 -5(15)^3

V= 92(225) - 4(3475)

V= 20700 - 13500

V= 7200 inches^3

Water flows back and forth between a small and large tank. When water is moving into a tank the flow rate is positive, and when
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: C. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

If  the large tank is flowing at a constant rate of  -6 per minute then we have to know that the water is moving from the tank. So is asking how many water will be left in the tank after 25 minutes.

You could use the equation

y = -6x  + 250  where y is the amount of water left in the tank and x is the number of minutes.

So if x is 25 then plot it in and solve for y.

y = -6(25) +250

y = -150 +250

y= 100
