Answer:

  • 2 roots
  • x = -1 +i(√10)/2, x = -1 -i(√10)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The polynomial is degree 2, so the fundamental theorem of calculus tells you there are 2 roots.

__

(b) We can "complete the square" to find the two roots.

  2x^2 +4x +7 = 2(x^2 +2x) +7 = 2(x^2 +2x +1) +5 = 2(x +1)^2 +5

This is zero when ...

  2(x +1)^2 = -5 . . . . . subtract 5

  x +1 = ±i(√10)/2 . . . divide by 2, take the square root

  x = -1 ±i(√10)/2 . . . subtract 1

An open box is to be made from a rectangular piece of material 9 inches by 12 inches by cutting equal squares from each corner a
grigory [225]
The questions for this problem would be:
1. What is the dimensions of the box that has the maximum volume?
2. What is the maximum volume of the box?

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height

From the problem statement,
length = 12 - 2x
width = 9 - 2x
height = x

where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (12-2x) (9-2x) (x)
V = (12 - 2x) (9x - 2x^2)
V = 108x - 24x^2 -18x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 42x^2 + 108x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = 4x^3 - 42x^2 + 108x
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 84x + 108
12x^2 - 84x + 108 = 0x^2 - 7x + 9 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 5.30 ;      Volume = -11.872  (cannot be negative)
x2 = 1.70 ;      Volume = 81.872

So, the answers are as follows:

1. What is the dimensions of the box that has the maximum volume?
length = 12 - 2x = 8.60
width = 9 - 2x = 5.60
height = x = 1.70 

2. What is the maximum volume of the box?

Volume = 81.872

What is the product of (2i) and (5+3i)?
Evgesh-ka [11]

The value of the product expression given as product of (2i) and (5+3i) is 10i -6

<h3>How to determine the product?</h3>

The product expression is given as:

product of (2i) and (5+3i)

Rewrite the expression as:

(2i) * (5+3i)

Open the brackets

(2i) * (5+3i) = 10i + 6i^2

Evaluate

(2i) * (5+3i) = 10i + 6(-1)

This gives

(2i) * (5+3i) = 10i -6

Hence, the value of the product expression given as product of (2i) and (5+3i) is 10i -6
