Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] x = 9 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex] PQ = x - 5 [/tex]

[tex] QR = 2x - 1 [/tex]

[tex] PR = 21 [/tex]

Required:

Value of x

SOLUTION:

Point P, Q, and R are collinear, therefore:

[tex] PQ + QR = PR [/tex] (segment addition postulate)

[tex] (x - 5) + (2x - 1) = 21 [/tex] (substitution)

Solve for the value of x using the above equation.

[tex] x - 5 + 2x - 1 = 21 [/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex] x + 2x - 5 - 1 = 21 [/tex]

[tex] 3x - 6 = 21 [/tex]

Add 6 to each side of the equation

[tex] 3x - 6 + 6 = 21 + 6 [/tex]

[tex] 3x = 27 [/tex]

Divide each side by 3

[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{27}{3} [/tex]

[tex] x = 9 [/tex]

there are three consecutive integers with a sum of 39. which integers are they?​

Answers

Answer:

The three integers are

11, 13, and 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall consider the integers as

x, (x+2), and (x+4). The sum of these is 39, so we can write:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=39

Open the brackets and simplify.

x+x+2+x+4=39 3x+6=39 Subtract 6 from each side.3x=33 Divide both sides by 3.x=11 Therefore: (x+2)=13and (x+4)=15

Answer:

The three integers are 11, 13, and 15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall consider the integers as x, ( x + 2 ) , and ( x + 4 ) . The sum of these is 39, so we can write:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 39

Open the brackets and simplify.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 39

3x + 6 = 39

Subtract 6 from each side.

3x = 33

Divide both sides by 3.

x=11

Therefore: (x + 2) = 13 and (x + 4) = 15

What is the product of 2x - 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7? Write your answer in standard form.

Answers

Answer:

(2x - 5) (3x^2 + 5x - 7) = 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x - 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7

Product of two values means multiplication of the two values

(2x - 5) (3x^2 + 5x - 7)

6x^3 + 10x^2 - 14x - 15x^2 - 25x + 35

Collect like terms

6x^3 + 10x^2 - 15x^2 - 14x - 25x + 35

Simplify

6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x + 35

(2x - 5) (3x^2 + 5x - 7) = 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x + 35

Therefore product of 2x - 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7 is 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x + 35

Answers

Answer:

1) [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=12x^2+6x-6[/tex]

2) [tex]x\leq-1\text{ or } x\geq 1/2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

[tex]y=4x^3+3x^2-6x-1[/tex]

Part A)

We want to find the derivative of the above function. So:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[4x^3+3x^2-6x-1][/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[4x^3]+\frac{d}{dx}[3x^2]+\frac{d}{dx}[-6x]+\frac{d}{dx}[-1][/tex]

Use the power rule. Therefore, our derivative is:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=3(4x^2)+2(3x)+(-6)+(0)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=12x^2+6x-6[/tex]

Part B)

We want to find the range of the values of x such that:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}\geq 0[/tex]

So, all we have to do is substitute our derivative in:

[tex]12x^2+6x-6\geq0[/tex]

And solve for this quadratic inequality!

Solve it normally. Pretend the inequality is with an equal sign. So:

[tex]12x^2+6x-6=0[/tex]

Divide everything by 6:

[tex]2x^2+x-1=0[/tex]

Factor. We can use -2 and 1. So:

[tex]2x^2+2x-x-1=0[/tex]

From the first two terms, factor out 2x.

From the third and fourth terms, factor out a negative. So:

[tex]2x(x+1)-(x+1)=0[/tex]

Grouping:

[tex](2x-1)(x+1)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]2x-1=0\text{ or } x+1=0[/tex]

Solve for x in each case:

[tex]x=1/2\text{ or } x=-1[/tex]

So, the zeros of our function is -1 and 1/2.

Looking above, we can see that this is a greater than inequality.

Since this is a greater than inequality, our solution is all values to the left of the first zero and all values to the right of the second zero.

Therefore, our solution is:

[tex]x\leq-1\text{ or } x\geq 1/2[/tex]

In interval notation, this is:

[tex](-\infty,-1]\cup[1/2,\infty)[/tex]

So, for all values within the above interval, our derivative, dy/dx, will be greater than or equal to 0.

And we're done!

Therefore, 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 red balls

That is a difficult one

Assuming A, B and C are all on the same straight line, this means,

AB+BC = AC

through the segment addition postulate.

So,

AC = AB+BC

AC = 6x+2+5x+3

AC = (6x+5x)+(2+3)
