Find two positive numbers whose difference is 30 and whose product is 2584.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]38[/tex] and [tex]68[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the smaller one of the two number.

[tex]x[/tex] must be a positive integer. The other number would be [tex](x + 30)[/tex].

The question states that the product of the two numbers is [tex]2584[/tex]. In other words:

[tex]x\, (x + 30) = 2584[/tex].

Rearrange this equation and solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x^{2} + 30\, x - 2584 = 0[/tex].

The first root of this quadratic equation would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{900 + 10336}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{11236}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30)}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{11236}{2^{2}}} \\ &= (-15) + \sqrt{2809} \\ &= (-15) + 53 \\ &= 38 \end{aligned}[/tex].

Similarly, the second root of this quadratic equation would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) - \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= (-15) - 53 \\ &= -68\end{aligned}[/tex].

Since the question requires that both numbers should be positive, [tex]x > 0[/tex]. Therefore, only [tex]x = 38[/tex] is valid.

Hence, the two numbers would be [tex]38[/tex] and [tex](38 + 30)[/tex], which is [tex]68[/tex].

Answer:

  38 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average of the two numbers. Then their product is ...

  (x -15)(x +15) = 2584

  x^2 = 2584 +225 = 2809 . . . . . . use relation (x -a)(x +a) = x^2 -a^2; add a^2

  x = √2809 = 53

Then the two numbers are ...

  53 +15 = 68

and

  68 -30 = 38

The two numbers are 38 and 68.

Additional comment

Solving the problem in this way is equivalent to writing the quadratic equation for the smallest (or largest) number and solving that by completing the square. The "solution" x = -53 is not relevant in this problem.

P(x) = x^4+ax^3-x^2+bx-12 has factors of (x-2) and (x+1). Solve the equation P(x)=0​

Answers

Answer:

because P(x) has factors of (x-2) and (x+1) => x = 2 and x = -1 are the solutions of P(x)

so we have:

[tex]\left \{ {{2^{4}+2^{3}a-2^{2}+2b-12 =0} \atop {1-a-1-b-12=0}} \right.\\=>\left \{ {{8a+2b=0} \atop {a+b=-12}} \right.\\<=>\left \{ {{4a+b=0} \atop {a+b=-12}} \right.\\<=>\left \{ {{a=4} \atop {b=-16}} \right.[/tex]

=> [tex]P(x)=x^{4} + 4x^{3}-x^{2} -16x-12[/tex]

With P(x) = 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the perimeter to be the same, the sum of side lengths must be the same. That does not mean the side lengths themselves must be the same.

Answers

Equations are used to show the relationship between variables (usually x and y). The true statement about f(x) is that the range of f(x) is [tex]y \ge -8[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]f(x) = 2(x - 2)^2 - 8[/tex]

To identify the true statement, I will make use of graphical method.

See attachment for the graph of [tex]f(x) = 2(x - 2)^2 - 8[/tex]

From the attached graph, we can see that the graph as a minimum at:

[tex](x,y) = (2,-8)[/tex]

And it opens upward.

This implies that the minimum y-value of f(x) is at -8, and it has no maximum.

In other words, the range of the function is:

[tex]f(x) \ge -8[/tex]

Hence, the true statement is option (a):

The range of f(x) is [tex]y \ge -8[/tex]

If AB= x+4, BC=2x-10, and AC=2x+1, then find the value for x

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{x = 7} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB = x + 4BC = 2x – 10AC = 2x + 1

We can illustrate this relationship as:

(2x + 1)

___↑___

| |

A — B — C

|____|___|

↓ ↓

(x + 4) (2x – 10)

_______________________________

When you are given an algebraic expression for the length of a segment, you can solve for that value by knowing that the sum of two segments AB + BC = AC.

Thus:

(x + 4) + (2x – 10) = (2x + 1)

[Regroup terms]

(x + 2x) + (4 – 10) = (2x + 1)

[Simplify]

(3x – 6) = (2x + 1)

[subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the variable]

(3x – 6) – 2x = (2x + 1) – 2x

[Regroup terms]

(3x – 2x) – 6 = (2x – 2x) + 1

x – 6 = 1

[Add 6 to both sides to isolate the constant]

x – 6 + 6 = 1 + 6

[Simplify]

Answers

The question is asking how many combinations of two people can be made from a group of ten people.

Using the formula C(10,2) = 10!/(2! x (10 - 2)! = 10!/(2! x 8!) = 45 handshakes.

A simple way to prove this is each person shakes the hand of 9 other people
10 x 9 = 90 but this counts every handshake from the view of both people involved.
The actual number of handshakes is therefore 90 / 2 = 45

A tank is full of water. Find the work W required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Use 1000 kg/m3as the weight density of water.)
(A water tank shaped like a triangular prism is given. The base of the prism is at the top and a spout is located at the top of the tank. The dimensions of the tank are 9 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. The spout is 3 meters long.)

Answers

Answer:

W = 1.06 MJ

Step-by-step explanation:

- We will use differential calculus to solve this problem.

- Make a differential volume of water in the tank with thickness dx. We see as we traverse up or down the differential volume of water the side length is always constant, hence, its always 8.

- As for the width of the part w we see that it varies as we move up and down the differential element. We will draw a rectangle whose base axis is x and vertical axis is y. we will find the equation of the slant line that comes out to be y = 0.5*x. And the width spans towards both of the sides its going to be 2*y = x.
