The length of a rectangular field is 6 metres longer than its width. If the area of the field is 72 square metres, What are the

width and the length of the field?

Answer:

The length is 12metres, the width is 6metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the width is x, the length is x+6

The square is 72. The square of rectangular field is equal to product of length and width.

so x(x+6)=72

x^2+6x-72=0

a=1 b=6 c=-72

D= b^2-4ac= 6*6+288= 36+288= 324

sqrtD= 18

x1= (-b-sqrtD)/2a=(-6-18)/2= -12 (it is negative, but width is only positive. So this root doesn't match)

x2=(-b+sqrtD)/2a= (-6+18)/2= 12/2=6 - the width

The length is 6+6=12

Prove cosh 3x = 4 cosh^3 x - 3 cosh x.
Snezhnost [94]
Prove we are to prove  4(coshx)^3 - 3(coshx) we are asked to prove 4(coshx)^3 - 3(coshx) to be equal to cosh 3x
= 4(e^x+e^(-x))^3/8 - 3(e^x+e^(-x))/2 = e^3x /2 +3e^x /2 + 3e^(-x) /2 + e^(-3x) /2 - 3(e^x+e^(-x))/2 = e^(3x) /2 + e^(-3x) /2 = cosh(3x) = LHS Since y = cosh x satisfies the equation if we replace the "2" with cosh3x, we require cosh 3x = 2 for the solution to work. 
i.e. e^(3x)/2 + e^(-3x)/2 = 2 
Setting e^(3x) = u, we have u^2 + 1 - 4u = 0 
u = (4 + sqrt(12)) / 2 = 2 + sqrt(3), so x = ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3, Or u = (4 - sqrt(12)) / 2 = 2 - sqrt(3), so x = ln((2-sqrt(3))/2) /3, 
Therefore, y = cosh x = e^(ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3) /2 + e^(-ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3) /2 = (2+sqrt(3))^(1/3) / 2 + (-2-sqrt(3))^(1/3) to be equ
= 4(e^x+e^(-x))^3/8 - 3(e^x+e^(-x))/2 
= e^3x /2 +3e^x /2 + 3e^(-x) /2 + e^(-3x) /2 - 3(e^x+e^(-x))/2 
= e^(3x) /2 + e^(-3x) /2 
= cosh(3x) 
= LHS 

<span>Therefore, because y = cosh x satisfies the equation IF we replace the "2" with cosh3x, we require cosh 3x = 2 for the solution to work. </span>

i.e. e^(3x)/2 + e^(-3x)/2 = 2 

Setting e^(3x) = u, we have u^2 + 1 - 4u = 0 

u = (4 + sqrt(12)) / 2 = 2 + sqrt(3), so x = ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3, 
Or u = (4 - sqrt(12)) / 2 = 2 - sqrt(3), so x = ln((2-sqrt(3))/2) /3, 

Therefore, y = cosh x = e^(ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3) /2 + e^(-ln((2+sqrt(3))/2) /3) /2 
= (2+sqrt(3))^(1/3) / 2 + (-2-sqrt(3))^(1/3)

Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Nady [450]
For this case we have the following polynomial:
 x ^ 2 = 12x - 15&#10;
 The first thing to do is to place the variables on the same side of the equation.
 We have then:
 x ^ 2 - 12x = -15&#10;
 We complete the square by adding the term (b / 2) ^ 2 on both sides of the equation.
 We have then:
 x ^ 2 - 12x + (-12/2) ^ 2 = -15 + (-12/2) ^ 2&#10;
 Rewriting we have:
 x ^ 2 - 12x + (-6) ^ 2 = -15 + (-6) ^ 2&#10;&#10;x ^ 2 - 12x + 36 = -15 + 36&#10; &#10;(x-6) ^ 2 = 21
 x-6 =+/- \sqrt{21}
 Therefore, the solutions are:
 x = 6 - \sqrt{21}
 x = 6 + \sqrt{21}
 Answer:
 
the solution set of the equation is:
 
x = 6 - \sqrt{21}
 x = 6 + \sqrt{21}
