Questions:

A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?

Answer:

32 units of fabrics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Required

Find f when a  = 4

Substitute 4 for a

4 = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Rewrite as:

\sqrt{36 - f} + 4 = \sqrt{f + 4}

Square both sides

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = (\sqrt{f + 4})^2

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = f + 4

36 - f + 8\sqrt{36 - f} + 16 = f + 4

Collect Like Terms

8\sqrt{36 - f}= f +f+ 4 - 36 -16

8\sqrt{36 - f}= 2f -48

Divide through by 2

4\sqrt{36 - f}= f -24

Square both sides

16(36-f) = (f - 24)^2

16(36-f) = f^2 - 48f + 576

576-16f = f^2 - 48f + 576

-16f = f^2 - 48f

Collect like terms

f^2 - 48f + 16f = 0

f^2 -32f = 0

Factorize

f(f - 32) = 0

f = 0 or f = 32

f can not be 0 because some units must be ordered.

So, f = 32

Identify the restrictions on the domain of f(x) = quantity x plus 5 over quantity x minus 2. x ≠ 5 x ≠ −5 x ≠ 2 x ≠ −2
horsena [70]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Rational Functions have the following form:

f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}

Where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials.

The Restrictions of the Domain of Rational Functions are those Real numbers that make the denominator equal to zero, because the division by zero is not defined.

 In this case, you have the following Rational Function:

f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-2}

The Restrictions of the Domain can be found applying this steps:

- Make the denominator equal to 0:

x-2=0

- Solve for "x":

x=2

Then, the Domain of this function includes all "x" not equal to 2.

Therefore,  the answer is:

x\neq 2

2х - 1y = 6<br> -Зу = -6х + 18
zysi [14]

Answer:2x-y-6=0 & 2x-y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y=-6x+18.

-3y+6x=18

-y+2x=6

2x-y=6

2x-1y=6

2x-y=6

2x-y-6=0
