Find the supremum and infimum of each of the following sets of real numbers
S = {3x 2 − 10x + 3 < 0}​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\sup(S) = 3[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \inf(S) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

When factored, [tex]3\,x^{2} - 10\, x + 3[/tex] is equivalent to [tex](3\, x - 1)\, (x - 3)[/tex].

[tex]3\, x^{2} - 10\, x + 3 < 0[/tex] whenever [tex]\displaystyle x \in \left(\frac{1}{3},\, 3\right)[/tex].

Typically, the supremum and infimum of open intervals are the two endpoints. In this question, [tex]\sup(S) = 3[/tex] whereas [tex]\displaystyle \inf(S) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex].

Below is a proof of the claim that [tex]\sup(S) = 3[/tex]. The proof for [tex]\displaystyle \inf(S) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex] is similar.

In simple words, the supremum of a set is the smallest upper bound of that set. (An upper bound of a set is greater than any element of the set.)

It is easy to see that [tex]3[/tex] is an upper bound of [tex]S[/tex]:

For any [tex]x > 3[/tex], [tex]3\,x^{2} - 10\, x + 3 > 0[/tex]. Hence, any number that's greater than [tex]3\![/tex] could not be a member [tex]S[/tex]. Conversely, [tex]3[/tex] would be greater than all elements of [tex]S\![/tex] and would thus be an upper bound of this set.

To see that [tex]3[/tex] is the smallest upper bound of [tex]S[/tex], assume by contradiction that there exists some [tex]\epsilon > 0[/tex] for which [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] (which is smaller than [tex]3\![/tex]) is also an upper bound of [tex]S\![/tex].

The next step is to show that [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] could not be a lower bound of [tex]S[/tex].

There are two situations to consider:

The value of [tex]\epsilon[/tex] might be very large, such that [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] is smaller than all elements of [tex]S[/tex].Otherwise, the value of [tex]\epsilon[/tex] ensures that [tex](3 - \epsilon) \in S[/tex].

Either way, it would be necessary to find (or construct) an element [tex]z[/tex] of [tex]S[/tex] such that [tex]z > 3 - \epsilon[/tex].

For the first situation, it would be necessary that [tex]\displaystyle 3 - \epsilon \le \frac{1}{3}[/tex], such that [tex]\displaystyle \epsilon \ge \frac{8}{3}[/tex]. Let [tex]z := 1[/tex] (or any other number between [tex](1/3)[/tex] and [tex]3[/tex].)

Apparently [tex]\displaystyle 1 > \frac{1}{3} \ge (3 - \epsilon)[/tex]. At the same time, [tex]1 \in S[/tex]. Hence, [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] would not be an upper bound of [tex]S[/tex] when [tex]\displaystyle \epsilon \ge \frac{8}{3}[/tex].

With the first situation [tex]\displaystyle \epsilon \ge \frac{8}{3}[/tex] accounted for, the second situation may assume that [tex]\displaystyle 0 < \epsilon < \frac{8}{3}[/tex].

Claim that  [tex]\displaystyle z:= \left(3 - \frac{\epsilon}{2}\right)[/tex] (which is strictly greater than [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex]) is also an element of [tex]S[/tex].

To verify that [tex]z \in S[/tex], set [tex]x := z[/tex] and evaluate the expression: [tex]\begin{aligned} & 3\, z^{2} - 10\, z + 3 \\ =\; & 3\, \left(3 - \frac{\epsilon}{2}\right)^{2} - 10\, \left(3 - \frac{\epsilon}{2}\right) + 3 \\ = \; &3\, \left(9 - 3\, \epsilon - \frac{\epsilon^{2}}{4}\right) - 30 + 5\, \epsilon + 3 \\ =\; & 27 - 9\, \epsilon - \frac{3\, \epsilon^{2}}{4} - 30 + 5\, \epsilon + 3 \\ =\; & \frac{3}{4}\, \left(\epsilon\left(\frac{16}{3} - \epsilon\right)\right)\end{aligned}[/tex].This expression is smaller than [tex]0[/tex] whenever [tex]\displaystyle 0 < \epsilon < \frac{16}{3}[/tex]. The assumption for this situation [tex]\displaystyle 0 < \epsilon < \frac{8}{3}[/tex] ensures that [tex]\displaystyle 0 < \epsilon < \frac{16}{3}\![/tex] is indeed satisfied. Hence, [tex]\displaystyle 3\, z^{2} - 10\, z + 3 < 0[/tex], such that [tex]z \in S[/tex].At the same time, [tex]z > (3 - \epsilon)[/tex]. Hence, [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] would not be an upper bound of [tex]S[/tex].

Either way, [tex](3 - \epsilon)[/tex] would not be an upper bound of [tex]S[/tex]. Contradiction.

Hence, [tex]3[/tex] is indeed the smallest upper bound of [tex]S[/tex]. By definition, [tex]\sup(S) = 3[/tex].

The proof for [tex]\displaystyle \inf(S) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex] is similar and is omitted because of the character limit.

You are designing a metal sculpture that will be placed in front of your school. You sketch an initial design
with a scale of 1 cm = 2 feet. The design shows that the sculpture has a length of 8 feet.
After reviewing your design, the principal asks you to use the same drawing, but change the scale to 1 cm
= 5 feet.
What will be the length of the sculpture using the new scale?

A. 8 feet
B. 12 feet
C. 15 feet
D. 20 feet

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the length of the sculpture using the new scale is given by:

D. 20 feet.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The initial scale is of 1 cm = 2 feet, with a sculpture of 8 feet, hence the length of the drawing is given by:

l = 8/2 = 4 cm.

For the new scale, 1 cm = 5 feet, and you keep the drawing of 4 cm, hence the length of the sculpture is given by:

l = 4 x 5 = 20 feet.

Hence option D is correct.

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

Explanation:

We'll be using this square root rule: [tex]\sqrt{A}*\sqrt{B} = \sqrt{A*B}[/tex]

So we could have this as our steps:

[tex]3\sqrt{12}*\sqrt{6}\\\\3\sqrt{12*6} \ \text{ ... Apply the rule mentioned}\\\\3\sqrt{72}\\\\3\sqrt{36*2}\\\\3\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2} \ \text{ ... Apply the rule again, but in reverse}\\\\3*6*\sqrt{2}\\\\18\sqrt{2}\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]3\sqrt{12}*\sqrt{6} = 18\sqrt{2}[/tex]

The basic idea is to first combine the roots using that rule. From there, we factor the radicand such that we pull out the largest perfect square factor. This will allow us to break the root apart and fully simplify it.

Ok I don’t know how they got 3y-24

Answers

Answer:

y = -5/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets turn the equation from standard form to slope intercept form.

3x - 5y = 1

~Subtract 3x to both sides

-5y = 1 - 3x

~Divide -5 to everything

y = -1/5 + 3/5x

~Reorder

y = 3/5x - 1/5

Now that we have the equation in slope intercept form, we can find the new equation. A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

3/5x -> -5/3x

Now that we have the slope, we can use the given point to find the y-intercept.

y = -5/3x + b

8 = -5/3(-3) + b

8 = 5 + b

3 = b

Put all the information we solved for into a final equation.

y = -5/3x + 3

The net of a rectangular prism is shown below. What is the total surface area of this prism?

A. 112 cm²
B. 142 cm²
C. 105 cm²
D. 71 cm²

Answers

Answer:   142 cm^2  (choice B)

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

Explanation:

Think of unwrapping a present and doing so without any unnecessary tearing. That means there aren't any little small pieces thrown away. There are many ways to unwrap a 3D box, and this diagram shows one of many ways. This flat layout is the 2D version of the 3D surfaces.

To find the surface area of the 3D figure, we simply need to find the area of each rectangle in this 2D flat net. Once we know all the little areas, we add them up to get the surface area.

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

The lowest rectangle is 3 cm by 5 cm, so its area is 3*5 = 15 cm^2. Let A = 15 so we can use it later.

Let's move to the middle row of four rectangles. From left to right, we have these four rectangular areas

3*7 = 21 cm^25*7 = 35 cm^23*7 = 21 cm^25*7 = 35 cm^2

I'll call these results B,C,D,E in the order given above. So B = 21, C = 35, etc.

The rectangle up top has area of 3*5 = 15 cm^2. I'll let F = 15

Lastly, we'll add up the sub-areas to get the grand total

A+B+C+D+E+F = 15+21+35+21+35+15 = 142 cm^2 is the surface area

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

Another pathway to the answer:

If you can picture how this flat diagram would fold up, then you would see that we'd get a 3D block with the following dimensions

L = 7 cmW = 5 cmH = 3 cm

The order of L,W,H doesn't really matter.

Then we can use the 3D block surface area formula like so

SA = 2*(LW + LH + WH)

SA = 2*(7*5 + 7*3 + 5*3)

SA = 2*(35 + 21 + 15)

SA = 2*71

SA = 142 cm^2 is the surface area

As you can see from the third step, we have "35", "21" and "15" show up again. The 2 out front is because we have 2 copies of each item mentioned.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

We have two points on the graph, (2, 16) and (6, 48)

Let's say (2, 16) = (x₁, y₁) ( there's no reason why (6, 48) can't be (x₁, y₁), but one of them has to be it) and (6, 48) = (x₂, y₂). Our slope is then

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (48-16) / (6-2) = 32 / 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of an intercept (x/y) of an equation like this, simply set the other variable to 0 and divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable you're trying to find.

When x=0
5(0)-8y=14
-8y=14
Y=-2
So y intercept= -2

When y=0
5x-8(0)=14
5x=14
X=5/14 or 0.36
So x-intercept = 5/14
