Answer:

4. C. x = 4 or -4

Step-by-step explanation:

since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a² - b² = ( a + b ) ( $\alpha$ - b ) where

Answer:

-4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula: $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Given $x^2-16=0$

Rewrite 16 as 4²

Therefore, $a^2=x^2$ and $b^2=4^2$

$\implies a = \sqrt{x^2}=x$

$\implies b=\sqrt{4^2} =4$

$\implies x^2-16^2=(x+4)(x-4)$

$\implies (x+4)(x-4)=0$

$\implies (x+4)=0 \implies x=-4$

$\implies (x-4)=0 \implies x=4$

Method 2

Given equation:

$x^2-16=0$

Add 16 to both sides:

$\implies x^2-16+16=0 + 16$

$\implies x^2=16$

Square root both sides:

$\implies \sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}$

$\implies x=\pm4$

Therefore, x = -4, x = 4

I am having trouble with this relative minimum of this equation.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok this is a calculus approach. You have to let me know if you want this done another way.

Here are some rules I'm going to use:

$(f+g)'=f'+g'$ (Sum rule)

$(cf)'=c(f)'$ (Constant multiple rule)

$(x^n)'=nx^{n-1}$ (Power rule)

$(c)'=0$ (Constant rule)

$(x)'=1$ (Slope of y=x is 1)

$y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$

$y'=(4x^3+13x^2-12x-56)'$

$y'=(4x^3)'+(13x^2)'-(12x)'-(56)'$

$y'=4(x^3)'+13(x^2)'-12(x)'-0$

$y'=4(3x^2)+13(2x^1)-12(1)$

$y'=12x^2+26x-12$

Now we set y' equal to 0 and solve for the critical numbers.

$12x^2+26x-12=0$

Divide both sides by 2:

$6x^2+13x-6=0$

Compaer $6x^2+13x-6=0$ to $ax^2+bx+c=0$ to determine the values for $a=6,b=13,c=-6$ .

$a=6$

$b=13$

$c=-6$

We are going to use the quadratic formula to solve for our critical numbers, x.

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{13^2-4(6)(-6)}}{2(6)}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{169+144}}{12}$

$x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{313}}{12}$

Let's separate the choices:

$x=\frac{-13+\sqrt{313}}{12} \text{ or } \frac{-13-\sqrt{313}}{12}$

Let's approximate both of these:

$x=0.3909838 \text{ or } -2.5576505$ .

This is a cubic function with leading coefficient 4 and 4 is positive so we know the left and right behavior of the function. The left hand side goes to negative infinity while the right hand side goes to positive infinity. So the maximum is going to occur at the earlier x while the minimum will occur at the later x.

The relative maximum is at approximately -2.5576505.

So the relative minimum is at approximate 0.3909838.

We could also verify this with more calculus of course.

Let's find the second derivative.

$f(x)=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$

$f'(x)=12x^2+26x-12$

$f''(x)=24x+26$

So if f''(a) is positive then we have a minimum at x=a.

If f''(a) is negative then we have a maximum at x=a.

Rounding to nearest tenths here: x=-2.6 and x=.4

Let's see what f'' gives us at both of these x's.

$24(-2.6)+25$

$-37.5$

So we have a maximum at x=-2.6.

$24(.4)+25$

$9.6+25$

$34.6$

So we have a minimum at x=.4.

Now let's find the corresponding y-value for our relative minimum point since that would complete your question.

We are going to use the equation that relates x and y.

I'm going to use 0.3909838 instead of .4 just so we can be closer to the correct y value.

$y=4(0.3909838)^3+13(0.3909838)^2-12(0.3909838)-56$

I'm shoving this into a calculator:

$y=-58.4654411$

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

If you graph $y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56$ you should see the graph taking a dip at this point.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Multiply 9 by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7:9 is the ratio

We multiply the first term by 6.

What we do to one side, we do to the other

7*6=42

9*6 = 54

That way we keep the ratio in the same proportion

42:54

a company that manufactures and ships canned vegetables is designing boxes in the shape of rectangular prisms to meet specific r

sertanlavr [38]

In order to find the smallest amount of cardboard needed, you need to find the total surface area of the rectangular prism.

Therefore, you need to understand how the cans are positioned in order to find the dimensions of the boxes: two layers of cans mean that the height is
h = 2 · 5 = 10 in

The other two dimensions depend on how many rows of how many cans you decide to place, the possibilities are 1×12, 2×6, 3×4, 4×3, 6×2, 12×1.
The smallest box possible will be the one in which the cans are placed 3×4 (or 4×3), therefore the dimensions will be:
a = 3 · 3 = 9in
b = 3 · 4 = 12in

Now, you can calculate the total surface area:
A = 2·(a·b + a·h + b·h)
 = 2·(9·12 + 9·10 + 12·10)
 = 2·(108 + 90 + 120)
 = 2·318
 = 636in²

Hence, the smallest amount of carboard needed for the boxes is 636 square inches.
