The slope of a line is -5, and the y-intercept is at (0, 4). What is the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form?

A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$26 - \sqrt{181}$ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares, in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}$

$x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}$

But $x_1 > 33$ , then is not the correct answer.

Use synthetic division to solve (x3 + 1) ÷ (x – 1). What is the quotient?

mamaluj [8]

Steps:

Use the divisor and find x :
x - 1 = 0 **add 1
x= 1
Now we will use the 1 in dividing:

take the coefficients from in front of all terms
** make sure you include 0's for x^2 and x since you have to have all terms

set it up with a 1 in a box:

1| 1 0 0 1 **bring the first number down
____________
1 **multiply the boxed number by the first number and add it to the second number

1| 1 0 0 1
____+1_____ **repeat with the rest of the terms
1 1

1| 1 0 0 1
___+1_+1_+1
1 1    1 2
**when you're done, use the new numbers to write an equation starting with a term with a degree one less than the previous equation.
**since there is a remainder, rewrite it divided by the original divisor

final answer:
x^2 + x + 1 + (2/ x -1)

in a certain year a new bed costs 35000. if the rate of inflation was 20% for the next two years what would the same bed cost at

Neko [114]

Answer:

42000

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find 20 percent of 35000.

35000×20 / 100 = 7000

now we increase the bed cost by 20 percent.

35000 + 7000 = 42000
