Answer:

Nalani is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Nalani says the expression 9+7r cannot be factored using the GCF.

To find - Is she correct? Explain why or why not.

Proof -

GCF - Greater Common factor

Given that, the expression is - 9 + 7r

HCF(9, 7) = 1

So , we can not factor the expression.

i.e. there does not exist any number who is a multiple of 9 and 7 both.

So,

Nalani is correct.

Example -

Let the expression be 24 + 18x

HCF(24, 18) = 6

So,

24 + 18x = 6(4 + 3x)

Answer:

$x \ = \ 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point $D$ be the point where the straight line drawn from point $A$ meets the straight line $BC$ , it is evident that $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$ is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, $\angle BAD \ = \ \angle DAC$ . Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,

$\displaystyle{\frac{x+4}{8} \ = \ \frac{2x+1}{12}}$ .

Performing cross multiplication yields

$12\left(x+4\right) \ = \ 8\left(2x+1\right) \\ \\ \rule{0.15cm}{0cm}12x+48 \ = \ 16x+8 \\ \\ \rule{1.1cm}{0cm} 4x \ = \ 40 \\ \\ \rule{1.3cm}{0cm} x \ = \ 10$ .

Answer:

a) The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

b) which is attained at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given function

$f(x) = \frac{-x}{2x^{2} +1}$ ...(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x'

$f^{l} = \frac{2x^{2} +1(-1) - (-x) (4x)}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} }$ ...(ii)

$f^{l}(x) = \frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} }$

Equating Zero

$f^{l}(x) = \frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} } = 0$

$\frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} } = 0$

$2 x^{2}-1 = 0$

$2 x^{2} = 1$

$x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} } , x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step(ii):-

Again Differentiating equation (ii) with respective to 'x'

$f^{ll}(x) = \frac{(2x^{2} +1)^{2} (4x) - 2(2x^{2} +1) (4x)(2x^{2}-1) }{(2x^{2}+1)^{4} }$

put

$x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

$f^{ll} (x) > 0$

The absolute minimum value at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step(iii):-

The value of absolute minimum value

$f(x) = \frac{-x}{2x^{2} +1}$

$f(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ) = \frac{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }{2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )^{2} +1}$

on calculation we get

The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

Final answer:-

a) The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

b) which is attained at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$
