The total cost c(x) of hiring a dump truck and an operator is described by the function c(x)=300+31x-3.90x^2 , where x is the nu mber of hours worked. Find the number of working hours if c(x)=$220.
1 answer:
Answer:
2.05hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Given he total cost c(x) of hiring a dump truck and an operator is described by the function c(x)=300+31x-3.90x^2 , where x is the number of hours worked. If c(x)=$220, then;
220 = 300+31x-3.90x^2
300+31x-3.90x^2 - 220 = 0
3.90x^2 + 31x - 80 = 0
x = -31±√31²-4(-80)(3.9)/2(3.9)
x = -31±√961+1.248/7.8
x = -31±47/7.8
x = -31+47/7.8
x = 16/7.8
x = 2.05
hence the number of working hours is 2.05hrs

(x - 4)(x^2 + 3x + 2) = x(x^2 + 3x + 2) - 4(x^2 + 3x + 2) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x - 4x^2 - 12x - 8 = x^3 -x^2 - 10x - 8
Answer:
-1/2 or -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2x+4)=15
10x+20=15
10x=-5
x=-5/10
x=-1/2
take 3/2 - 1/4 over to the right side of the equal sign( and then the signs change; the '+' & '-' )
then 1/2x + 3/2x =2x
and 5 -3/2 + 1/4 = 15/4
to get x alone you divide both sides by 2.
