x^2+3x-18 use factoring to determine the zeros

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3
x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's first set the equation to 0.

x² + 3x - 18 = 0

To factor, first think about two numbers that multiply to -18, but add up to 3. The two numbers are 6 and -3.

Now, expand 3x to 6x and -3x. Then, factor by grouping.

Factorx² + 3x - 18 = 0x² + 6x - 3x - 18 = 0(x² + 6x) - (3x + 18) = 0x(x + 6) -1(3)(x + 6) = 0(x - 3)(x + 6) = 0

Now, set each factor to 0 and solve for x

Solve(x - 3) = 0
x = 3(x + 6) = 0
x = -6

x = 3, x = -6

First photo question: Given this net of a right circular cone. Find the volume and surface area of the cone.

Second photo question: Given this right circular cone. Find the volume and surface area of the cone. Make a sketch of this net of this cone including the measurements of the radii of the circle and sector and give the central angle of the sector.

Answers

Problem 1

Ignore the smaller circle for now. We'll be focusing on the portion on the right.

It's a partial circle with central angle theta = 150 degrees and radius r = 24 inches. The 24 inches also happens to be the slant height of the cone when we form the 3D figure.

Let's compute the arc length based on those inputs.

L = arc length

L = (theta/360)*2*pi*r

L = (150/360)*2*pi*24

L = 20pi

This is the distance along the green curve of this portion.

Now imagine we rolled up that partial circle on the right. We'd form the curved slanted roof of the cone. The green curve wraps around to help match up with the circular base. The 20pi calculated earlier is the circumference of this circular base. Use this to find r.

C = 2pi*r

20pi = 2pi*r

r = (20pi)/(2pi)

r = 10

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

So far we found that this cone has:

radius = r = 10slant height = s = 24

Now compute the height (h) perpendicular to the base

[tex]h^2+r^2 = s^2\\\\h = \sqrt{s^2-r^2}\\\\h = \sqrt{24^2-10^2}\\\\h = \sqrt{476}[/tex]

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

We can now compute the volume

[tex]V = (1/3)*\pi*r^2*h\\\\V = (1/3)*\pi*10^2\sqrt{476}\\\\V \approx 2284.7153\\\\[/tex]

The units of which are cubic inches.

The surface area is of this cone is:

[tex]SA = \pi*r*s + \pi*r^2\\\\SA = \pi*10*24 + \pi*10^2\\\\SA \approx 1068.1415\\\\[/tex]

The units are in square inches.

For each case, I used the calculator's stored value of pi to get the most accuracy possible. Round the decimal values however you need to, or however your teacher instructs.

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

Answers:

Volume = 2284.7153 cubic inches approximatelySurface Area = 1068.1415 square inches approximately

============================================================

Problem 2

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the slant height

[tex]h^2+r^2 = s^2\\\\s = \sqrt{h^2+r^2}\\\\s = \sqrt{15^2+8^2}\\\\s = \sqrt{289}\\\\s = 17\\\\[/tex]

This slant height will act as the radius of the partial circle that results when forming the net of the unrolled cone.

The process used in the previous problem was to use the slant height and central angle to find the circumference of the base.

We'll follow that process in reverse to use the circumference and slant height to find the central angle.

But first, we need to find the circumference of the base.

C = 2*pi*r

C = 2*pi*8

C = 16pi

This is the arc length similar to the green arc shown in the previous problem (the figure on the right side of that diagram)

This means we'll plug in L = 16pi and r = 17 (not to be confused with the previous radius of 8 inches) to determine theta

L = (theta/360)*2*pi*r

16pi = (theta/360)*2*pi*17

16pi = theta*(34pi/360)

theta = 16pi*(360/(34pi))

theta = 169.4118 degrees approximately

This is the central angle of the unrolled net. The diagram is basically the same as the previous drawing, where we have a circle on the left to represent the base of the cone. The other portion forms the roof of the cone.

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

Let's compute the volume (V) and surface area (SA)

[tex]V = (1/3)*\pi*r^2*h\\\\V = (1/3)*\pi*8^2*15\\\\V \approx 1005.3096\\\\[/tex]

and,

[tex]SA = \pi*r*s + \pi*r^2\\\\SA = \pi*8*17 + \pi*8^2\\\\SA \approx 628.3185[/tex]

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

Answers

The value of the function (f.h)(x) is 96x⁵ + 132x⁴ + 78x³ + 18x²

How to solve function?

f(x) = 3x² + 4x³ + 8x⁴

g(x) = -3x + 12x² - 5x³

h(x) = 12x + 6

Therefore,

(f.h)(x) = f(x).h(x)

Hence,

f(x).h(x) = (3x² + 7x³ + 8x⁴)(12x + 6)

f(x).h(x) = 36x³ + 18x² + 84x⁴ + 42x³ + 96x⁵ + 48x⁴

(f.h)(x) = 96x⁵ + 84x⁴ + 48x⁴ +  36x³ + 42x³ + 18x²

The revenue function when the assumed values and parameters are used is F(x) = (60 + 8x)(250 - 30x)

The assumed valuesTicket price = $60 per ticketPeople = 250Increase in price = 8Decrease in people = 30

The revenue function

Let the number of people be x, and the revenue function be F(x).

Using the assumed values, the revenue function is:

F(x) = (60 + 8x)(250 - 30x)

The maximum funds

We have:

F(x) = (60 + 8x)(250 - 30x)

Expand

F(x) = 15000 - 1800x + 2000x - 240x²

Differentiate the function

F'(x) = -1800 + 2000 - 480x

Evaluate

F'(x) = 200 - 480x

Set to 0

200 - 480x = 0

This gives

480x = 200

Divide both sides by 480

x = 0.42

Substitute x = 0.42 in F(x)

F(x) = (60 + 8 * 0.42)(300 - 30* 0.42)

Evaluate

F(x) = 18210

Hence, the maximum revenue is $18210, at a rate of $0.42 per person.

Would they raise $5000?

We start by setting F(x) to 5000.

So, we have:

15000 - 1800x + 2000x - 240x² = 5000

Evaluate the like terms

10000 + 200x - 240x² = 0

Using a graphing tool, we have:

x = 6.89

Hence, they would reach their goal at a rate of $6.89 per ticket.

The cost function

We have:

People = x

Cost per person = 20

So, the cost function is:

C(x) = 20x

The profit function

Profit is calculated using:

P(x) = F(x) - C(x)

So, we have:

P(x) = 15000 - 1800x + 2000x - 240x² - 20x

Evaluate

P(x) = 15000 + 180x - 240x²

The break even price

This is the point where P(x) = 0.

So, we have:

15000 + 180x - 240x²  = 0

Using a graphing tool, we have:

x = 8.29

Hence, the break even price is $8.29

An artist is designing a website to showcase his 15-inch-wide paintings. The website will include scaled-down images of the paintings called thumbnails. For ease of viewing and to keep the thumbnail images large enough to show some detail, the artist decides to put three thumbnail images in a row so that any two adjacent images are separated by a space of 40 pixels, as shown in the figure above. If the website is 800 pixels wide, what should be the scaled size (in pixels per inch of painting) of the thumbnails?

Answers

The scaled size of the thumbnails is 16 pixels per inch of painting

How to determine the scaled size?

The given parameters are:

Width = 15 inchesWebsite = 800 pixels

The space between adjacent images is 40 inches.

Given that there are two spaces, the remaining space is:

Remaining = 800 - 2 * 40

Remaining = 720

Given that there are three samples of image, the width of each image is:

Image = 720/3

Divide

Image = 240 pixels

The scaled size is then calculated using:

Scale = Image scale width/actual width

This gives

Scale = 240/15

Evaluate

Scale = 16

Hence, the scaled size of the thumbnails is 16 pixels per inch of painting

a scientist notes that the number of bacteria in a colony is 50.3 hours later, she notes that the number of bacteria has increased to 80. if this rate of growth continues, how much more time will it take for the number of bacteria to reach 1119?

Answers

Answer:

  16.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential population increase can be modeled by the function ...

  p(t) = a·b^(t/p)

where 'a' is the initial value (at t=0), b is the multiplier in time period p.

__

setup

The colony increased by a factor of b = 80/50 = 1.6 in p = 3 hours. Since we want to find the additional time to reach a population of 1119, the initial population we're working with is 80, not 50.

  p(t) = 80·1.6^(t/3)

  1119 = 80·1.6^(t/3)

__

solution

Solving this for t, we find ...

  1119/80 = 1.6^(t/3) . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 80

  log(1119/80) = (t/3)log(1.6) . . . . . take logarithms

  t = 3·log(1119/80)/log(1.6) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

  t ≈ 16.8 . . . . hours

It will take about 16.8 more hours for the population to increase from 80 to 1119.

Answers

The purpose of knowing the angle of elevation and depression in relation to the field of surveyor, military/police, aeronautics (pilot), engineers, landscapers, and architects is discussed below

What is angle of elevation and depression?

If a person stands and looks up at an object, the angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal line of sight and the object. If a person stands and looks down at an object, the angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line of sight and the object.

If the pilot looks straight out, that line of sight is horizontal (focused on the distant horizon). The pilot might see the airport's runway, distant buildings, or even mountains in her field of view.

If the pilot looks down at the ground, the one will see the ground crew. The angle of depression is the angle that is formed between the horizontal and the downward looking angle. It is always a downward view, an angle below the horizon.

For the ground crewmember, looking down would not be much help in communicating with the pilot in her cockpit seat. The crewmember will look up, above the horizontal line, to see the pilot. The ground crewmember's angle of vision if an angle of elevation, the angle above the horizon.

Angle of elevation or depression in a survey can be defined as the angle subtended between the line of sight passing through the scope and the horizontal axis of the instrument.

Engineers, landscapers, architects all use trigonometry in their everyday life to help them efficiently and safely create or design something new.

       Given f(x)=-x+5, find f(-3).

    [tex]\rule{50}{1}\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}[/tex]

We have the function

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{f(x)=-x+5}[/tex]

We need to find

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{f(-3)=}[/tex]

What we need to do:-

Replace x with -3:-

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{f(x)=-(-3)+5}[/tex]

Simplifying,

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{f(x)=3+5}[/tex]

(which is the exact same thing as 5-3)

Henceforth, We conclude that the answer is

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{f(-3)=8}[/tex]

Good luck with your studies. [tex]\ddot\smile[/tex]

If you draw all of the diagonals from one vertex of a regular hexagon, how
many triangles do you make?

Answers

If you draw all of the diagonals from one vertex of a regular hexagon we make 5 triangles. This is further explained below.

What is a hexagon?

Generally, the hexagon is simply defined as the hexagon is a polygon with six sides. to be considered a hexagon, the form must have six sides, all of which must be closed.

In conclusion, We get five triangles if we draw the diagonals of a regular hexagon starting at a single vertex.

Problem 9
Leon drives a long distance to attend a family reunion. At 12:00 PM, his gas tank is completely filled with
12 gallons of gas. Leon's car uses gas at a constant rate, and after two hours of driving, Leon notices that
his car used five gallons of gas.
Leon will stop to get gas when his tank is one fourth of the way full. If Leon's car continues to use gas at
the same constant rate and Leon makes no other stops on his trip, at what time will Leon stop to get gas?
Be sure to include AM or PM in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

3:36PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon starts at 12PM with 12 gallons of gas, and after 2 hours he has used 5 gallons of gas. This means that every 2 hours he uses 5 gallons of gas.

Next we will find at what point Leon will stop to get gas. Since he will stop when the tank is at [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] capacity, we can use the equation:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} * 12 = \boxed{3}[/tex]

This shows [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of his tank's capacity ([tex]12[/tex]) is equal to [tex]3[/tex] gallons. This means he will stop for gas when [tex]3[/tex] gallons are remaining.

Now we need to find how many gallons of gas he uses, but as a unit rate. (This will allow us to find what time Leon will stop to get gas.) To find the unit rate, we will need to find how many gallons of gas he uses per hour.

[tex]\frac{\mbox{5 gallons}}{\mbox{2 hours}} = \frac{\mbox{2.5 gallons}}{\mbox{1 hours}}[/tex]

This is a simple proportion, and now we know he uses [tex]2.5[/tex] gallons of gas per hour.

Now we can how many hours of gas Leon has left.

He has [tex]7[/tex] gallons of gas left at 2PM, so we can divide to find how many hours left of gas he has.

[tex]\frac{7-3}{2.5} = 1.6[/tex]

The [tex]7-3[/tex] is because Leon doesn't stop when his tank is empty, he stops [tex]3[/tex] gallons earlier. We are dividing by [tex]2.5[/tex] because that is how much gas he uses per hour, meaning the result of this division ([tex]1.6[/tex]) is how many hours he has left.

Now we can solve for what time Leon will stop to get gas.

12PM + [tex]2[/tex] hours of driving + the remaining [tex]1.6[/tex] hours = 3:36PM

([tex]1.6[/tex] hours is equal to 1 hour and 36 minutes)

Therefore, Leon will stop for gas at 3:36PM
