X-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

First, clear out the fraction.  Mult. both sides of this inequality by 2(x+3):

x-2 greater than or equal to  6(2)(x+3) 

x-2 greater than or equal to  12x + 36 becomes

-38 greater than or equal to 11x

Thus, -38/11 is greater than or equal to x, or

x is smaller than or equal to -38/11

check:  try x = -44/11 = -4 (this is smaller than -38/11)

Substitute -4 into the original inequality:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

becomes

-4-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(-4+3)

or 

-6
---- = 3.  Is this greater than or equal to 6?  No.
-2

So, choose a different test value for x:  Try one that's on the other side of 
-38/11.  I'll try 0.

Then 

0-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(0+3)

-2
---- = -1/3.  Unfortunately, this is not greater than or equal to 6.
6

Thus, this tentative solution fails.


Trying again:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2x + 6

Multiply both sides by 2x+6:  x-2 is greater than or equal to 6(2x+6)

Then x-2 is greater than or equal to 12x + 36

Add 2 to both sides:  x is gr. than or = to 12x + 38

Subtr. 38 from both sides:   -38 + x is gr than or equal to 12x, or

-38 is gr than or = to 11x, and -38/11 is gr than or = to x (same as before).

Again, -4 proves NOT to be a solution.  Thus, the interval (-infinity, -38/11) is not part of the solution set.

Trying x = 2,

2-2
------------- comes out to 0, which is NOT greater than or equal to 6.
2(2) + 6

Thus, (-38/11, infinity) is not a solution set either.

NO SOLUTION!

The small rectangle was enlarged to create the big rectangle.
kow [346]

Answer: the missing measure on the big rectangle is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the small rectangle was enlarged to create the big rectangle, it means that they are similar. This also means that the dimensions of the larger rectangle different form the dimensions of the smaller rectangle by a constant ratio or factor.

The smaller rectangle has a length of 12 feet and width of 2 feet. The larger rectangle has a length of x feet and width of 5 feet. This means that

x/12 = 5/2

Cross multiplying, it becomes

2x = 12 × 5 = 60

x = 60/2 = 30

A media company wants to track the results of its new marketing plan, so the video production manager recorded the number of vie
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

f(x)=5120(1.25)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given question

As we know that

f(x) and x are related by following equation

f(x)=a( {b})^{x}

where

b is the common ratio

Now first we have to compute the value for b which are as follows

\frac{6400}{5120}= 1.25

\frac{8000}{6400}= 1.25

Like if we take the ratio by this method than it comes 1.25

Therefore the common ratio, b = 1.25

So,

a = 5,120

Hence, the equation which model the relationship between the number of weeks and the number of viewers is

f(x)=5120(1.25)^{x}

can anyone help me and show work for this Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = base² + altitude²

                      = 9² + 10²

                      = 81 + 100

                      = 181

hypotenuse = √181
