Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7

Mathematics

Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

Answer:

r = \±\sqrt{14

Product = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}

Cross multiply:

2x(r - x) = 7 * 1

2xr - 2x^2 = 7

Subtract 7 from both sides

2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7

2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0

Reorder

- 2x^2+ 2xr  -7= 0

Multiply through by -1

2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

b^2 - 4ac = 0

For a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

By comparison with 2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0

a = 2

b = -2r

c =7

Substitute these values in b^2 - 4ac = 0

(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0

4r^2 - 56 = 0

Add 56 to both sides

4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56

4r^2 = 56

Divide through by 4

r^2 = 14

Take square roots

\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14

r = \±\sqrt{14

Hence, the possible values of r are:

\sqrt{14 or -\sqrt{14

and the product is:

Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}

Product = -14

Use the box plots comparing the number of male puppies and number of female puppies attending doggy daycare each day for a month
dalvyx [7]
  1. The IQR for the males' data is 25.
  2. The difference between the median of the males' data and the female's data is 14.
  3. The distribution of the males' data is skewed to the right and the median would be a better measure of the center. The distribution of the female's data is normal and the mean would be a better measure of the center.
  4. A reason for the outlier is that the number of dogs needing care increased.

<h3>What is the interquartile range?</h3>

The interquartile range for the males data is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

IQR = third quartile - first quartile

25 - 0 = 25

Median = 20 - 6 = 14

An outlier is a number that is way smaller or way larger than that of other numbers in a data set.
