The product of two factors is x2 – X – 20. If one of the factors is x-5, what is the other factor?

Answers

Answer 1

we can rewrite the statement

[tex](x-5)(A)=x^2-x-20[/tex]

where A is the missing factor, A must be of the form

[tex](x+a)[/tex]

where a is a constant, to obtain "a" we must bear in mind that the multiplication of the two constants must give us the third term and the sum of these must give us the second term

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} -5\times a=-20 \\ -5+a=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

if we solve any equation, the value of a is 4

so a is 4 and the factor is

[tex](x+4)[/tex][tex](x-5)(x+4)=x^2-x-20[/tex]

Whiteout graphing the function, describe what the graph would look like if b were 8.5

Answers

We have the function y=x+b.

This is a line with b as y-intercept.

When b gets larger, that graph moves parallel and up in the vertical axis.

That is because b is like a "floor" level when x=0, and, as the slope of the line stays the same, the lines stays parallel.

As b becomes negative, the graph goes in the opposite direction (down in the vertical axis).

The lines stays parallel, because the slope does not change.

A dart hits the square dartboard shown below at a random point. Find the probability that the dart lands in the shaded circular region. Each side of the dartboard is 12 in, and the radius of the shaded region is 5 in. Use the value 3.14 for n. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

For this problem, we are given the dimensions of a dashboard. We need to determine the probability a dart will hit the shaded area.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the area of the whole board (square) and the area of the shaded area (circle). Then we need to divide the area of the shaded circle by the entire board.

The area of a circle can be found as shown below:

[tex]A_{shaded}=3.14\cdot(5)^2=78.5\text{ square inches}[/tex]

The area of the square can be found as shown below:

[tex]A_{board}=12^2=144\text{ square inches}[/tex]

Now we need to find the probability of the shaded area, which can be done by dividing the area of the circle by the area of the board.

[tex]P(shaded)=\frac{78.5}{144}=0.55[/tex]

The probability is 0.55.

You are designing a rectangda garden for the city park. The gardien is to have an area of 250 S feet, but you want to theamount of fending that you need to surround the garden. One length of the garden will not have a fence How many fees of lenong to you needto Surround the garden?

Answers

Consider the following picture

This is a sketch of the rectangular garden. We are given that the area of this rectangle is 200. Recall that the area of a rectangle is base * height. IN this case, we have the equation

[tex]\times\cdot\text{ y = 200}[/tex]

Now, note that we want to minimize the amount of fence we use. This means, that we want to minimize the perimIn this case we are told that we are not putting fence on one side of the rectangle. Since we want the less amount of fence to be used, and since y is the lenght of the longest side, we will assume that we are not fencing one of the y sides. So the perimeter of this rectangle is sum of the three remaining sides. Hence the function we want to minimize is

[tex]y\text{ + 2x }[/tex]

From the first equation, we can replace the value of y with 200/x. So the function we want to minimize is

[tex]\frac{200}{x}+2x[/tex]

Since we want to find the minimum of this function, we proceed by calculating its' derivative, make it equal to zero and the find the value of x that makes the equation true.

So, recall that the derivative of a term x^n is n x ^(n-1). In the case of 1/x, the value of n is n=-1. Also, recall that the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives. So, applying this rule we get that the derivative of the function is

[tex]200(-1)x^{^{\text{ -2}}}+2x^0=2\text{ - }\frac{200}{x^2}[/tex]

No, we will make it equal to 0 and find the value of x that makes the equation true. So we get the equation

[tex]2\text{ - }\frac{200}{x^2}\text{ = 0 = }\frac{2x^2\text{ -200}}{x^2}[/tex]

Since we have an equation of the form a/b =0 It must happen that a is 0. Then, we have the equation

[tex]2x^2\text{ -200 =0}[/tex]

If we add 200 on both side, we get

[tex]2x^2\text{ = 200}[/tex]

If we divide on both sides by 2, we get

[tex]\times^2\text{ = 100}[/tex]

By taking the square root on both sides we get

[tex]\text{ x = 10 or x = -10}[/tex]

Since x is a lenght, it should be positive. So we must have x = 10.

In this case, by replacing in the expression of y, we get that y = 200/10 = 20.

So we will need 2*10 + 20 = 40 feets long to surround the garden.

At this point, we have to have all our fractions with the same denominator to add them up. To do so, let's find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) between our different denominators (In this case, 2 and 4)

The LCM is 4. Now, we need to find a way for all our fractions to have 4 as a denominator. Notice that we can do so by multiplying both 3/2 by 2 (both in the numerator and denominator), as following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}\rightarrow\frac{2\cdot3}{2\cdot2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2\cdot3}{2\cdot2} \\ \\ \rightarrow\frac{6}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{6}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we can add them up:

[tex]\frac{6}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{6}{4}\rightarrow\frac{6+1+6}{4}\rightarrow\frac{13}{4}[/tex]

This way, the answer is 13/4

ANSWER GETS 80 POINTS!!!Read the passage.The OrnithopterMany people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be a beastly madness. He preferred to make things of beauty.Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiencyI will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense, he wrote.Leonardos letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideashe could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word ornithopter comes from two words meaning bird and wings. And on first inspection, his plans resembled a birds wings attached to a human beings arms. He concluded that a human beings arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didnt ask.As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasnt Leonardos innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemys camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never builtalong with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke.
