Find the value of x if b=8 and a=6

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

8² + 6² = x²

64 + 36 = x²

x² = 100

x = 10

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of x + y = 4?

joja [24]

Answer: The correct option is, It is a line joining the points whose x and y coordinates add up to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is, $x+y=4$

when we take x = 1 then

$1+y=4$

$y=3$

when we take x = 2 then

$2+y=4$

$y=2$

From this we conclude that the sum of 'x' and 'y' coordinates is always equal to 4.

Hence, the correct answer is, It is a line joining the points whose x and y coordinates add up to 4.

Identify the type of function represented by... please help

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Exponential decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a graphing utility to check this pretty quickly, but you can also look at the equation and get the answer. Since the function has a variable in the exponent, it definitely won't be a linear equation. Quadratic equations are ones of the form ax^2 + bx + c, and your function doesn't look like that, so already you've ruled out two answers.

From the start, since we have a variable in the exponent, we can recognize that it's exponential. Figuring out growth or decay is a little more complicated. Having a negative sign out front can flip the graph; having a negative sign in the exponent flips the graph, too. In your case, you have no negatives; just 2(1/2)^x. What you need to note here, and you could use a few test points to check, is that as x gets bigger, (1/2) will get smaller and smaller. Think about it. When x = 0, 2(1/2)^0 simplifies to just 2. When x = 1, 2(1/2)^1 simplifies to 1. Already, we can tell that this graph is declining, but if you want to make sure, try a really big value for x, like 100. 2(1/2)^100 is a value very very very veeery close to 0. Therefore, you can tell that as the exponent gets larger, the value of the function goes down and gets closer and closer to zero. This means that it can't be exponential growth. In the case of exponential growth, as the exponent gets bigger, your output should increase, too.

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.
