The area of the triangle is 42 square inches. find the value of x when a = x and b = (x+8)

Mathematics

damaskus [11]3 years ago

Answer:

6 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 ab

42 = 1/2 (x)(x+8)

42 *2 = x(x+8)

84 = x²+8x

x²+8x-84 = 0

x²+14x-6x-84 = 0

x(x+14)-6(x+14) = 0

x-6 = 0 and x+14 = 0

x = 6 and -14

Hence the values of x are 6 and -14

Visual domain and range
Mashutka [201]

The domain of a graph of a function is  x ∈ [-8, 9] and the range of a graph of a function will be y ∈ [7, 0]

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a graph of a function shown in the picture.

As we can see in the graph there are two bold dots are shown which represents at these points the function value exist.

At x = -8, y = 7

At x = 9, y = 6

At x = -3, y = 0

The domain of a function is x ∈ [-8, 9]

The range of a function is y ∈ [7, 0]

Thus, the domain of a graph of a function is  x ∈ [-8, 9] and the range of a graph of a function will be y ∈ [7, 0]

Find two positive real numbers whose product is a maximum. the sum is 80
Eduardwww [97]
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

thus \bf y=ab\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;a+b=80\\&#10;b=80-a&#10;\end{cases}\implies y=a(80-a)\implies y=80a-a^2\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{dy}{da}=80-2a

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway

and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum

What are the domain and range of the function f(x) = 3/4x + 5?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Domain = (-∞,∞)

Range = (-∞,∞)

This is a linear function.

So, if you were to graph this you'd know that it crosses the x and y axis and continues on forever without stopping.

in that case the domain and range are considered infinite on both axes.

Describe the possible values for x and y when ∣x − y ∣ &gt; 0. What does it mean when ∣x − y ∣ = 0? Can ∣x − y ∣ &lt; 0? Explain
Vilka [71]
The possible values for | x-y | > 0 is any number above 0. x must be greater than y. When | x-y | = 0, That means that x and y are equal to each other. | x-y | can not be less than 0, but it can equal 0.

Hope that this helped!
