Amelia, Luis, Shauna, and Clarence used different approaches to solve the inequality

1 answer:

Mama L [17]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Luis’s, because he flipped the inequality sign when he subtracted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

7.2b + 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1.

Amelia started by subtracting 7.2b from both sides to get 6.5 > –2.4b – 8.1.

Amelia:

7.2b + 6.5 - 7.2b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 7.2b

6.5 > -2.4b - 8.1

Correct

Luis started by subtracting 4.8b from both sides to get 2.4b + 6.5 < – 8.1.

7.2b + 6.5 - 4.8b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 4.8b

2.4b + 6.5 > -8.1

Incorrect

Shauna started by subtracting 6.5 from both sides to get 7.2b > 4.8b – 14.6

7.2b + 6.5 - 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1 - 6.5

7.2b > 4.8b - 14.6

Correct

Clarence started by adding 8.1 to both sides to get 7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b.

7.2b + 6.5 + 8.1 > 4.8b – 8.1 + 8.1

7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b

Correct

Limit question: lim x-->pi ((e^sinx)-1)/(x-pi)

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\pi}\dfrac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-\pi}$

Notice that if $f(x)=e^{\sin x}$ , then $f(\pi)=e^{\sin\pi}=e^0=1$ . Recall the definition of the derivative of a function $f(x)$ at a point $x=c$ :

$f'(c):=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}$

So the value of this limit is exactly the value of the derivative of $f(x)=e^{\sin x}$ at $x=\pi$ .

You have

$f'(x)=\cos x\,e^{\sin x}\implies f'(\pi)=\cos\pi\,e^{\sin\pi}=-1$

Katrina buys a 42-ft roll of fencing to make a rectangular play area for her dogs.

Answer:

(a) $l = -w + 21$

(b) Domain: $0$ <em>(See attachment for graph)</em>

(c) $f(w) = -w + 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2(l + w) = 42$

$l = length$

$w = width$

Solving (a): A function; l in terms of w

All we need to do is make l the subject in $2(l + w) = 42$

Divide through by 2

$l + w = 21$

Subtract w from both sides

$l + w - w = 21 - w$

$l = 21 - w$

Reorder

$l = -w + 21$

Solving (b): The graph

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Since l and w are the dimensions of the fence, they can't be less than 1

So, the domain of the function can be $0$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To check this

When $w = 1$

$l = -1 + 21$

$l = 20$

$(w,l) = (1,20)$

When $w = 20$

$l = -20 + 21$

$l = 1$

$(w,l)= (20,1)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>See attachment for graph</em>

<em></em>

Solving (c): Write l as a function $f(w)$

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Writing l as a function, we have:

$l = f(w)$

Substitute $f(w)$ for l in $l = -w + 21$

$l = -w + 21$ becomes

$f(w) = -w + 21$

Considera um quadrado de lado 2x e um rectângulo de comprimento x e largura x  2 . Qual é o valor de x para o qual as duas figu

ki77a [65]

Answer:

3 unidades de comprimento

Step-by-step explanation:

O perímetro é definido como a soma de todos os lados.

O perímetro de um quadrado de lado 2x é dado por:

$Q=4*2x=8x$

O perímetro de um retângulo de comprimento x e largura x² é dado por:

$R=2x+2x^2$

Para que ambos os perímetros sejam iguais:

$R=Q\\8x=2x+2x^2\\x^2=\frac{6}{2}x\\ x=3$

O valor de x é igual a 3 unidades de comprimento.
