John's patio is 5 feet long and has an area of 1.30 square feet How wide is the patio?

Step-by-step explanation:

so, I assume the patio is a true rectangle.

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

in our case that means

1.3 = 5 × width

width = 1.3 / 5 = 0.26 ft

so, this is just a very narrow strip of 0.26ft × 5 ft.

I would not call that a patio ...

or was it a typo, and the area is actually 30 ft² ?

then we would have

30 = 5 × width

width = 30 / 5 = 6 ft

Determine any asymptotes (Horizontal, vertical or oblique). Find holes, intercepts and state it's domain.

vesna_86 [32]

Factorize the denominator:

$\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^3+x^2-4x-4}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^2(x+1)-4(x+1)}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{(x^2-4)(x+1)}$

If $x\neq\pm2$ , we can cancel the factors of $x^2-4$ , which makes $x=-2$ and $x=2$ removable discontinuities that appear as holes in the plot of $g(x)$ .

We're then left with

$\dfrac1{x+1}$

which is undefined when $x=-1$ , so this is the site of a vertical asymptote.

As $x$ gets arbitrarily large in magnitude, we find

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}g(x)=\lim_{x\to+\infty}g(x)=0$

since the degree of the denominator (3) is greater than the degree of the numerator (2). So $y=0$ is a horizontal asymptote.

Intercepts occur where $g(x)=0$ ( $x$ -intercepts) and the value of $g(x)$ when $x=0$ ( $y$ -intercept). There are no $x$ -intercepts because $\dfrac1{x+1}$ is never 0. On the other hand,

$g(0)=\dfrac{0-4}{0+0-0-4}=1$

so there is one $y$ -intercept at (0, 1).

The domain of $g(x)$ is the set of values that $x$ can take on for which $g(x)$ exists. We've already shown that $x$ can't be -2, 2, or -1, so the domain is the set

$\{x\in\mathbb R\mid x\neq-2,x\neq-1,x\neq2\}$

A point is reflected across the x-axis. The new point is (7.5,6). What is the distance between these two points?

blagie [28]

Because it was reflected across the x axis, the distance between the two points is twice the distance of the old point from the x axis, and the distance from the old point from the x axis equals the distance from the new point to the x axis. The distance from the x axis is the absolute value of the x=y value. 7.5 is the y value, meaning the point is 7.5 units away from y=0, the x axis. The new point is twice this from the old point. 7.5 x 2 = 15. The new point is 15 units away from the old point.

A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the numb

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$9327

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...

C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167

This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...

C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167

C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)

C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327

The vertex of the cost function is ...

(x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)

The minimum unit cost is $9327.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.

15. (3x + 6) - (3x - 6)

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative which would get your 3x + 6 -3x + 6. The 3x would cancel out and you would add 6+6 = 12
