Option A. All the real values of x where x < -1
Procedure
Solve the inequality:
(x -3)(x+1)>0
That happens in two cases.
1) When both factors >0
x-3>0 and x+1>0
x>3 and x >-1
The intersection is x >3
2) When both factors <0
x-3<0 and x+1<0
x<3 and x<-1
the intersection is x<-1.
We have obtained that the function is positive for the intervals x < -1 and x > 3. But in one of those intervals the function is decresing and in the other is increasing.
You can recognize that the function given is a parabola and, because the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive, the parabola opens upward. Then the function is decreasing in the first interval and increasing in the second interval.
Answer:
750 grams of 60% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy
Equating the amounts of gold:
0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)
Since there must be 1000 grams total:
x+y = 1000
Writing the 2 resulting equations together:
0.6x + 0.2y = 500
x + y = 1000
Multiply the first equation by 5:
3x + y = 2500
x + y = 1000
Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:
2x = 1500
x = 750
Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy
20 with a number minus what will equal 9. ^_^
Answer:
Value of tax liability will be zero
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total estate value = $2,186,000
Estate tax = 40 %
Find:
Heir's tax liability = ?
Computation:
Total taxable estate = Total estate value - Estate Exemption
Note: According to Exhibit 19-6 for Estate Exemption, Estate Exemption is 11.4 million.
We know that Estate Exemption is higher than total estate value, therefore will be no tax liability on the successor, so the value of tax liability will be zero.
