What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x 2? A) -10 B) -5 C) 5 D) 10

2 answers:

8 0

First, use the distributive property to expand the first equation.

3(x-4)=3*x+3*-4
=3x-12
Then we solve this as if it were an equation

3x-12≥5x+2
Minus 3x is
-12≥2x+2
Minus 2 is
-14≥2x

Which gets us that $x \leq 7$ (We had to flip the sign because we divided by a negative number).

You'll notice that this matches none of the choices, however, we are looking for the solution set, not the solution. In this case, it means any number that is less than 7. The correct answer is -10.

A rectangular portrait measures 50cm by 70cm. It is surrounded by a rectangular frame of uniform width. If the area of the frame

snow_tiger [21]

Let us assume uniform width = x cm wide.

Length of rectangular portrait = 50cm and width of rectangular portrait = 70cm.

Therefore, length of rectangle made by frame = 50 + x+x = (2x+50) cm.

And width of rectangle made by frame = 70+x+x = (2x+70) cm.

We know, the area of rectangular portrait = 50 × 70 = 3500 cm^2.

Total area of the rectangle made by frame would be = (2x+50) * (2x+70)

We know,

Actual area of frame = Area of rectangle made by frame - area of rectangular portrait.

We also given "the area of the frame is the same as the area of the portrait."

We can setup an equation now,

3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500.

Subtracting 3500 from both sides, we get

3500-3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500-3500.

0 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) -7000.

FOIL (2x+50) * (2x+70), we get

0 = 2x*2x +2x*70 + 50*2x +50*70 - 7000.

0 = 4x^2 +140x +100x +3500 -7000.

4x^2 +240x -3500 = 0.

Dividing whole equation by 4, we get

x^2 +60x - 875 =0

Applying quadratic formula $=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get

$=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=\frac{-60+\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)$

$x=\frac{-60-\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad -5\left(6+\sqrt{71}\right)$

We cant take negative value.

So, $x=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)=12.13$

We could take approximately 12 cm.

Solve the given initial value problem and determine how the interval in which the solution exists depends on the initial value y

zalisa [80]

Answer:

y has a finite solution for any value y_0 ≠ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

y' + y³ = 0

We can rewrite this as

dy/dx + y³ = 0

Multiplying through by dx

dy + y³dx = 0

Divide through by y³, we have

dy/y³ + dx = 0

dy/y³ = -dx

Integrating both sides

-1/(2y²) = - x + c

Multiplying through by -1, we have

1/(2y²) = x + C (Where C = -c)

Applying the initial condition y(0) = y_0, put x = 0, and y = y_0

1/(2y_0²) = 0 + C

C = 1/(2y_0²)

1/(2y²) = x + 1/(2y_0²)

2y² = 1/[x + 1/(2y_0²)]

y² = 1/[2x + 1/(y_0²)]

y = 1/[2x + 1/(y_0²)]½

This is the required solution to the initial value problem.

The interval of the solution depends on the value of y_0. There are infinitely many solutions for y_0 assumes a real number.

For y_0 = 0, the solution has an expression 1/0, which makes the solution infinite.

With this, y has a finite solution for any value y_0 ≠ 0.
