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

Mathematics

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!

PLEASE HELP I HAVE 10 MINUTES LEFT
Lena [83]

Answer:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost equation is given as:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800

This is a quadratic equation in general form, which is:

y=ax^2+bx+c

Matching, we can say:

a = 0.04

b = -5

c = 800

The minimum occurs at  x=-\frac{b}{2a}

and the minimum value would be to place that "x" value into the equation.

First, we find the minimum using values of a and b:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{-5}{2(0.04)}=\frac{5}{0.08}=62.5

Plugging this into original, we get:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800\\C=0.04(62.5)^2-5(62.5)+800\\C=643.75

Rounding off to nearest whole number, we can say:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644

Which description does NOT guarantee that a quadrilateral is a square?
Ivahew [28]
Let's go through the choices one by one

------------------------------------------
Choice A

If all sides are congruent, then this figure is a rhombus (by definition). If all angles are congruent, then we have a rectangle. Combine the properties of a rhombus with the properties of a rectangle and we have a square.

In terms of "algebra", you can think
rhombus+rectangle = square

Or you can draw out a venn diagram. One circle represents the set of all rhombuses; another circle represents the set of all rectangles. The overlapping region is the set of all squares. The overlapping region is inside both circles at the same time.

So we can rule out choice A. This guarantees we have a square when we want something that isn't a guarantee.

------------------------------------------
Choice B

If we had a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals, then we can prove that we have a rhombus (all four sides congruent). However, we don't know anything about the four angles of this parallelogram. Are they congruent? We don't know. So we can't prove this figure is a rectangle. The best we can say is that it's a rhombus. It may or may not be a rectangle. There isn't enough info about the rectangle & square part.

This is why choice B is the answer. We have some info, but not enough to be guaranteed everytime.

------------------------------------------
Choice C

This is a repeat of choice A. Having "all right angles" is the same as saying "all angles congruent". This is because "right angle" is the same as saying "90 degrees". So we can rule out choice C for identical reasons as we did with choice A.

------------------------------------------
Choice D

As mentioned before in choice A, if we know that a quadrilateral is a rectangle and a rhombus at the same time, then the figure is also a square. This is always true, so we are guaranteed to have a square. We can cross choice D off the list.

------------------------------------------

Once again, the final answer is choice B

KATRIN_1 [288]
If 12 types only last 4 days, and the rest last an average of 6, then the average amount of days that ALL the flowers wilt would be 5. To find the average, you add 6 and 4 to get 10, and since there is only 2 number we added togehter to get 10, you would divide 10 by 2 to get 5!
