Can you take the square root of both sides of an inequality

Hi there!

Since square roots are non-negative, Inequality is only meaningful if both sides are non-negative. Hence, squaring both sides was indeed valid.

Similarly, applying a decreasing function toboth sides of an in- equality will reverse it.

Cheers!

For f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x+2, find (f – g)(x).

Well, I bet you want your answer right away! So here it is.


<span>Given <span>f (x) = 3x + 2</span> and <span>g(x) = 4 – 5x</span>, find <span>(f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x)</span>, and <span>(f / g)(x)</span>.</span>

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>g(x)</span></span>​<span>​<span>f(x)</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span><span>= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}<span>=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span>

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​


Hope I helped! :) If I did not help that's okay.

The prism has a volume of 120 cm3. What would the volume of the prism be if each dimension were halved? cm3 Triangular prism wit
Citrus2011 [14]
The volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2 x a x c x h where a is height of the triangle, c is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
120 = 1/2 x a x c x h; we write a from the previous equation in terms of c and h thus,
a = 240 / ( c x h)
If the dimensions where halved then a = a/2 ; c = c/2 ; h=h/2
We use the volume formula again and substitute the given values to find the new volume,
V = 1/2 x a/2 x c/2 x h/2
Substitute the previously determined a term,
V = 1/2 x (240/2ch) x c/2 x h/2
We cancel and evaluate the constants therefore the new volume is,
V= 15 cm^3
