For the answer: The florist needs at least 1/3 gallons of nutrient rich water for each bushel of flowers he buys. If w is the ga

llons of water and f is the bushels of flowers, then:
w≥1/3f

I don't understand how you derive this equation.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase "at least" indicates that you use the symbol ≥, so that's where they got the ≥ from. The amount of water needed for each bushel is 1/3 * f or 1/3f because you need 1/3 gallons of water per one bushel. We know that the amount of water needed is at least 1/3 gallons per bushel. Since the amount of water is w, "at least" is ≥ and 1/3 gallons per bushel is 1/3f, the inequality is w ≥ 1/3f. I hope this makes sense.

Find the smallest relation containing the relation {(1, 2), (1, 4), (3, 3), (4, 1)} that is:
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Remember, if B is a set, R is a relation in B and a is related with b (aRb or (a,b))

1. R is reflexive if for each element a∈B, aRa.

2. R is symmetric if satisfies that if aRb then bRa.

3. R is transitive if satisfies that if aRb and bRc then aRc.

Then, our set B is \{1,2,3,4\}.

a) We need to find a relation R reflexive and transitive that contain the relation R1=\{(1, 2), (1, 4), (3, 3), (4, 1)\}

Then, we need:

1. That 1R1, 2R2, 3R3, 4R4 to the relation be reflexive and,

2. Observe that

  • 1R4 and 4R1, then 1 must be related with itself.
  • 4R1 and 1R4, then 4 must be related with itself.
  • 4R1 and 1R2, then 4 must be related with 2.

Therefore \{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2),(1,4),(4,1),(4,2)\} is the smallest relation containing the relation R1.

b) We need a new relation symmetric and transitive, then

  • since 1R2, then 2 must be related with 1.
  • since 1R4, 4 must be related with 1.

and the analysis for be transitive is the same that we did in a).

Observe that

  • 1R2 and 2R1, then 1 must be related with itself.
  • 4R1 and 1R4, then 4 must be related with itself.
  • 2R1 and 1R4, then 2 must be related with 4.
  • 4R1 and 1R2, then 4 must be related with 2.
  • 2R4 and 4R2, then 2 must be related with itself

Therefore, the smallest relation containing R1 that is symmetric and transitive is

\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2),(1,4),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(4,1),(4,2),(4,4)\}

c) We need a new relation reflexive, symmetric and transitive containing R1.

For be reflexive

  • 1 must be related with 1,
  • 2 must be related with 2,
  • 3 must be related with 3,
  • 4 must be related with 4

For be symmetric

  • since 1R2, 2 must be related with 1,
  • since 1R4, 4 must be related with 1.

For be transitive

  • Since 4R1 and 1R2, 4 must be related with 2,
  • since 2R1 and 1R4, 2 must be related with 4.

Then, the smallest relation reflexive, symmetric and transitive containing R1 is

\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2),(1,4),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(4,1),(4,2),(4,4)\}

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo
aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552 cuáles son esos números?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 23 y 24 ( ó -23 y -24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos números consecutivos se escriben como:

n y (n + 1)

done n es un numero entero.

Entonces "El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552"

Se escribe como:

n*(n + 1) = 552

n^2 + n = 552

n^2 + n - 552 = 0

Tenemos una cuadrática, las posibles soluciones son obtenidas con la formula de Bhaskara.

n = \frac{-1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-552)} }{2} = \frac{-1 +- 47}{2}

Las dos soluciones son.

n = (-1 - 47)/2 = -48/2 = -24

n = (-1 + 47)/2 = 46/2 = 23

Si tomamos la primer solución, n = -24

Entonces los dos números consecutivos son:

n = -24

(n + 1) = -23

Si n = 23 entonces

n + 1 = 24

Lo cual tiene sentido, por que lo único que cambia son los signos, los cuales se cancelarían en la multiplicación.
