The cost of buying salad from a salad bar is at least $4.50 per pound. Which inequality represents the price per pound of salad?

1 answer:

6 0

The cost of buying salad per pound) is more than or equal to $4.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We know from the problem that the salad is going to cost at least $4.50 per pound. Therefore, it is entirely possible for the cost to exceed $4.50, but it cannot be lower than $4.50 because then it would not be equal to $4.50.
So, there would be a greater-than sign pointing toward the s (which I seemingly cannot depict on here for some reason...)

Use the fundamental identities and appropriate algebraic operations to simplify the following expression. (18 +tan x) (18-tan x)

andrezito [222]

Answer:

a) $\left(18+\tan \left(x\right)\right)\left(18-\tan \left(x\right)\right)+\sec ^2\left(x\right)=325$

b) The lowest point of $y=\cos \left(x\right)$ , $0\leq x\leq 2\pi$ is when x = $\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To simplify the expression $\left(18+\tan \left(x\right)\right)\left(18-\tan \left(x\right)\right)+\sec ^2\left(x\right)$ you must:

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

$a=18,\:b=\tan \left(x\right)$

$\left(18+\tan \left(x\right)\right)\left(18-\tan \left(x\right)\right)=18^2-\tan ^2\left(x\right)=324-\tan ^2\left(x\right)$

$324-\tan ^2\left(x\right)+\sec ^2\left(x\right)$

Apply the Pythagorean Identity $1+\tan ^2\left(x\right)=\sec ^2\left(x\right)$

From the Pythagorean Identity, we know that $1=-\tan ^2\left(x\right)+\sec ^2\left(x\right)$

Therefore,

$324[-\tan ^2\left(x\right)+\sec ^2\left(x\right))]\\324[+1]\\325$

b) According with the below graph, the lowest point of $y=\cos \left(x\right)$ , $0\leq x\leq 2\pi$ is when x = $\pi$

Solve by completing the square x^2-6x-4=0

Vesna [10]

Answer:

x = 3 ± $\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

x² - 6x = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 4 + 9

(x - 3)² = 13 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± $\sqrt{13}$ ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± $\sqrt{13}$

Find the value of x.

sp2606 [1]

x = 64°

Step-by-step Explanation

x = 1/2[(360° - 2*58°)-2*58°]

x = 1/2[(360° - 2*58°) - 2*58°]

x = 1/2[(360° - 116°) - 116°]

x = 1/2[244° - 116°]

x = 1/2[128°]

x = 64°

Consider the following proposed proof by contradiction that for all positive integers n, 3n > 2.

laila [671]

Answer:

The proof contains a simple direct proof, wrapped inside the unnecessary logical packaging of a proof by contradiction framework.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof is rigourous and well written, so we discard the second answer.

This is not a fake proof by contradiction: it does not have any logical fallacies (circular arguments) or additional assumptions, like, for example, the "proof" of "All the horses are the same color". It is factually correct, but it can be rewritten as a direct proof.

A meaningful proof by contradiction depends strongly on the assumption that the statement to prove is false. In this argument, we only this assumption once, thus it is innecessary. Other proofs by contradiction, like the proof of "The square root of 2 is irrational" or Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes, develop a longer argument based on the new assumption, but this proof doesn't.

To rewrite this without the superfluous framework, erase the parts "Suppose that the statement is false" and "The fact that the statement is true contradicts the assumption that the statement is false. Thus, the assumption that the statement was false must have been false. Thus, the statement is true."
