The area of a rectangle is given by A(x) = x2 + 5x with x being the height and x + 5 being the base. If the area is 14, what is the only viable solution for the height? Why are there not two solutions?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A(x) = x^2 + 5x

A(x) = x^2 + 5x = 14

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0

x + 7 = 0  or  x - 2 = 7

x = -7 or x = 2

x is the height of a rectangle.

The only viable solution is x = 2 because the height of a rectangle cannot be a negative number such as -7.

Answer 2

The only viable solution for the height is x= 2, because height cannot be a negative value.

What  is Rectangle?

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

What is Area?

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface.

What is Quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex]

Given,

Area of the rectangle = [tex]x^{2} +5x[/tex] = 14

Then,

[tex]x^{2} +5x-14=0\\(x+7)(x-2)=0[/tex]

Therefore x = -7 and 2

But the Height cannot be negative therefore x = 2

Hence, only viable solution for the height is x= 2, because height cannot be a negative value.

There is a unique positive real number x such that the three numbers
log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio.
The number x can be written as m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers.
Find m+n.

Answers

Answer: 17  

Step-by-step explanation:

If the log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio.

Let a = log82x, b = log4x and c = log2x

If a = log8 2x; 8^a = 2x... (1)

If b = log4 x; 4^b = x ... (2)

If c = log2 x; 2^c = x...(3)

Since a, b c are in GP, then b/a = c/b

Cross multiplying:

b² = ac ...(4)  

From eqn 1, x = 8^a/2

x = 2^3a/2

x = 2^(3a-1)

From eqn 2; x = 4^b

x = 2^2b

From eqn 3: x = 2^c

Equating all the values of x, we have;

2^(3a-1) = 2^2b = 2^c

3a-1 = 2b = c

3a-1 = c and 2b = c

a = c+1/3 and b = c/2  

Substituting the value of a = c+1/3 and b = c/2 into equation 4 we have;

(c/2)² = c+1/3×c

c²/4 = c(c+1)/3

c/4 = c+1/3

Cross multiplying;

3c = 4(c+1)

3c = 4c+4

3c-4c = 4

-c = 4

c = -4  

Substituting c = -4 into equation 3 to get the value of x we have;

2^c = x

2^-4 = x

x = 1/2^4

x = 1/16    

Since the number x can be written as m/n, then x = 1/16 = m/n

This shows that m = 1, n = 16

m+n = 1+16

m+n = 17  

The required answer is 17.  

The value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

What is geometric sequence?

Geometric sequence is the sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term with the same number for the whole series.

There is a unique positive real number x such that the three numbers log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio. The progression is,

[tex]\log_82 x,\log_4x, \log_2x[/tex]

The above numbers are in geometric progression. Thus, the ratio of first two terms will be equal to the ratio of next two terms as,

[tex]\dfrac{\log_4x}{\log_82x}=\dfrac{\log_2x}{\log_4x}\\(\log_4x)^2={\log_2x}\times{\log_82x}\\[/tex]

Using the base rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 4}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log8}\\\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2^2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log2^3}[/tex]

Using the Power rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{2\log 2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{3\log2}\\\dfrac{\log x}{4}=\dfrac{\log 2+\log x}{3}\\3\log x=4(\log2x)\\\log x^3=\log(2x)^4\\x^3=16x^4\\x=\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]

The number x can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{m}{n}[/tex]

Here, m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Thus, the value of m+n is,

[tex]m+n=1+16=17[/tex]

Hence, the value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

A ski run is 1000 yards long with a vertical drop of 208 yards. Find the angle of depression from the top of the ski run to the bottom.

Answers

Answer:

angle of depression = -12 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin = -208/1000

inv sin 0.208 = -12

To solve this problem, we just need to use trigonometric ratio and use the ratio that best fits this problem. The angle of depression is equal to 76.23 degrees.

Trigonometric Ratio

Using SOHCAHTOA, we can easily solve this problem, but we need to first know which ratio to use

Data;

opposite (ski run) = 1000 yardsadjacent (vertical drop) = 208 yards

since we have the value of opposite and adjacent, we can solve this using the tangent of the angle

[tex]tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan \theta = \frac{1000}{208} \\tan\theta = 4.807\\\theta = sin^-^1 (4.0807)\\\theta = 76.23^0[/tex]

The second column is labeled do not use with entries 0.06, 0.19, 0.38. The third column is labeled use with entries 0.84, 0.81, 0.62. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 1.00, 1.00, 1.00. Which conclusions can be drawn from the results of the survey? Check all that apply. There is no association between using social media and grade level. The probability a student uses social media, given that he or she is in 9th grade, is 81%. A student who is more likely to not use social media is in 8th grade. An 8th grader is more likely to use social media than not. Knowing a student’s grade level does not help determine if he or she uses social media.

Answers

Options A, B, D, and E are correct answers such that the probability of the usage of social media by 8th and 9th-grade students is given.

A. There is no association between using social media and grade level.

B. The probability a student uses social media, given that he or she is in 9th grade, is 81%.

D. An 8th grader is more likely to use social media than not.

E. Knowing a student’s grade level does not help determine if he or she uses social media.

What is Probability?

Probability is the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total outcomes.

Given that, a group of 8th and 9th graders were surveyed about whether they use social media to communicate with their friends.

We can see that, there is no relationship between the usage of social media and grade level so, we can say that there is no association between using social media and grade level.

Probability of using social media by a 9th grader is-

P(9) = 0.81 / 1 x 100 = 81%

Probability of using social media by a 8th grader is-

P(8) = 0.84 / 1 x 100 = 84%

We cannot define the usage of social media depending on the grade level.

Thus, Options A, B, D, and E are correct answers.

Given the fractions 8/15 and 18/35, find the largest number that these fractions can be divided by, so that the quotient will be a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the largest number that these fractions can be divided by to give them a whole number is

a) 8/15 = The largest number is 8/15

b) 18/35 = The largest number is 18/35

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the result obtained by dividing two numbers.

So that the quotient obtained is a whole number we have to find out, what number they can be divided by to give them that.

Let's assume the whole number is 1

a. 8/15

8/15 ÷ x = 1

8/15 × 1/x = 1

8/15x = 1

We would cross multiply

8 = 15x

We would divide both sides by 15

8/ 15 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 8/15 and give it a whole number = 8/15

b) 18/35

18/35÷ x = 1

18/35 × 1/x = 1

18/35x = 1

We would cross multiply

18 = 35x

We would divide both sides by 35

18/ 315 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 18/35 and give it a whole number = 18/35

Answer:

The answer is 2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find the LCM of both denominators. IN this case, the LCM of 15 and 35 is 105. Then we have to find the GCF of these numerators. IN this case, the GCF of 8 and 18 is 2.

Now, put the GCF you found over the LCM.

ANSWER: 2/105

This fraction is the largest number you can divide both numbers by to get a whole number.

The two numbers are approximately 24.25 and 24.75.

What is Algebra?

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

Let's call the two numbers x and y.

According to the problem, we have two equations:

x + y = 49 (since their sum is 49)

x - y = 1/2 (since their difference is 1/2)

We can solve this system of equations using the method of substitution.

First, we can rearrange the second equation to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other:

x - y = 1/2

x = y + 1/2

Now we can substitute this expression for x into the first equation:

(y + 1/2) + y = 49

2y + 1/2 = 49

2y = 48.5

y = 24.25

Now we can use this value of y to solve for x:

x = y + 1/2 = 24.25 + 1/2 = 24.75

Therefore, the two numbers are approximately 24.25 and 24.75.

There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)

There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.

How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.

The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope

(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2

The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is

(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2

The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.

Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.
