the numbers are 3 and 18

let the first number be n then the second number = 6n and the sum

sum = n + 6n = 21 thus

7n = 21

divide both sides of the equation by 7

n = $\frac{21}{7}$ = 3

the numbers are 3 and 6 × 3 = 18 → (3 + 18 = 21)

A + B = 21
6 x A = B

A + 6xA = 21
7xA=21
21/7= 3

A=3
B=18

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = (3x^2 + 9x + 6) / (3x - 6) ?

cricket20 [7]

3x^2 + 9x + 6 = 0
3x^2 + 3x + 6x + 6 = 0
3x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = 0
(3x + 6)(x + 1) = 0
3x + 6 = 0 and x + 1 = 0
3x = -6 and x = -1
x = -2 and x = -1

Try to sketch by hand the curve of intersection of the parabolic cylinder y = x2 and the top half of the ellipsoid x2 + 7y2 + 7z

vovikov84 [41]

Plug $y=x^2$ into the equation of the ellipsoid:

$x^2+7(x^2)^2+7z^2=49$

Complete the square:

$7x^4+x^2=7\left(x^4+\dfrac{x^2}7+\dfrac1{14^2}-\dfrac1{14^2}\right)=7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+\dfrac1{28}$

Then the intersection is such that

$7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+7z^2=\dfrac{1371}{28}$

$\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+z^2=\dfrac{1371}{196}$

which resembles the equation of a circle, and suggests a parameterization is polar-like coordinates. Let

$x(t)^2+\dfrac1{14}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t\implies x(t)=\pm\sqrt{\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}}$

$y(t)=x(t)^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}$

$z=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\sin t$

(Attached is a plot of the two surfaces and the intersection; red for the positive root $x(t)$ , blue for the negative)

Jan rode to her friend's house with a constant speed of 14 m/hr. How long will she take to

sammy [17]

Answer:

1.07 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

14 miles = 1 hour

15 miles = x hours

Equal these two together

14 mi/1hr = 15 mi/xhr

Cross multiply

14 mi × x hr = 1 hr × 15 mi

I will stop using the units for now so it won't be as confusing

14x = 15

Divide both sides by 14 to isolate the variable

14x ÷ 14 = 15 ÷ 14

x = 1.07... hours
