Suppose $x$ and $y$ are integers such that $xy+5x+4y=-5$. Find the greatest possible value of $y$.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

xy + 5x + 4y = -5

(x + 4) y + 5x = -5

(x + 4) y = -5x − 5

y = -5 (x + 1) / (x + 4)

For y to be large as possible, (x + 1) / (x + 4) must be negative.  That means -4 < x < -1.  So x is either -2 or -3.

The possible values of y are:

y = -5 (-2 + 1) / (-2 + 4) = 5/2 (not an integer).

y = -5 (-3 + 1) / (-3 + 4) = 10.

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

Answers

Answer:

(B) {6,6,7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A criterion to determine if each triplet represents a triangle is the Law of Cosine, which states that:

[tex]a^{2} = b^{2}+c^{2}-2\cdot b \cdot c \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]

Where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex] are sides of the triangle and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle opposite to side [tex]a[/tex]. Now, let is clear the cosine function:

[tex]2\cdot a \cdot b\cdot \cos \theta = b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2\cdot b \cdot c}[/tex]

Cosine is a bounded function between -1 and 1, a triplet corresponds to a triangle if and only if result is located between upper and lower bounds. Now let is evaluate each triplet:

a) [tex]a = 2[/tex], [tex]b = 5[/tex], [tex]c = 9[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta =\frac{5^{2}+9^{2}-2^{2}}{2\cdot (5)\cdot (9)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = 1.133[/tex] (Absurd)

The triplet does not represent a triangle.

b) [tex]a = 6[/tex], [tex]b = 6[/tex], [tex]c = 7[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta =\frac{6^{2}+7^{2}-6^{2}}{2\cdot (6)\cdot (7)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = 0.583[/tex] (Reasonable)

The triplet represents a triangle.

c) [tex]a = 6[/tex], [tex]b = 4[/tex], [tex]c = 2[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{4^{2}+2^{2}-6^{2}}{2\cdot (4)\cdot (2)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = -1[/tex] (Absurd)

The triplet does not represent a triangle, but a straight line.

d) [tex]a = 7[/tex], [tex]b = 8[/tex], [tex]c = 1[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{8^{2}+1^{2}-7^{2}}{2\cdot (8)\cdot (1)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos \theta = 1[/tex] (Absurd)

The triplet does not represent a triangle, but a straight line.

Hence, the correct answer is B.

The sum of two numbers is 48. The larger number is 7 less than four times the smaller number. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer: x = 37 and y = 11

Explanation:

Let x be the bigger number
Let y be the smaller number

x + y = 48

But x is 7 less 4 times the smaller number.

=> x = 4y - 7
Substitute this value of x:

4y - 7 + y = 48
5y = 48 + 7
5y = 55
y = 11

Substitute the value of y in to the equation:

x + 11 = 48
x = 48 - 11
x = 37

Therefore, x = 37 and y = 11

Answer:

Larger number = 37

Smaller Number = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take x as the bigger number and y as the smaller number

x + y = 48

What do we know?

The larger number is 7 less than four times the smaller number

so 4y - 7 = x

Lets replace the equation obove with x

4y - 7 + y = 48

5y - 7 = 48

5y = 48 + 7

y = 55/5

y = 11

Then multiply 11 by 4 11 times 4 = 44 and subtract by 7 44 - 7 = 37

To recheck add 37  to 11 and u should get 48

Find all values of in the interval [0, 2π] that satisfy the equation. Enter your answers from smallest to largest. (Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) $$ 2\sin^2(x) = 1 $$

Answers

Answer:

π/4 and 3π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]2\sin^2(x) = 1 \\[/tex], we are to find all the values of x in the interval  [0, 2π] that satisfies the equation.

Simplifying the equation:

[tex]2\sin^2(x) = 1 \\\\sin^2x = \frac{1}{2} \\\\[/tex]

Square both sides of the equation;

[tex]\sqrt{sin^2x } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} } \\\\sin(x) = \sqrt{0.5}\\ \\sin(x) = 0.7071\\\\x = sin^{-1}0.7071\\\\x \approx 45^0[/tex]

The general formula for sin(x)  is x = nπ + (-1)ⁿ∝ where n = 0, 1, 2, 3...

Since ∝ = 45° = π/4.

x = nπ + (-1)ⁿπ/4

when n = 1

x = π + (-1)¹π/4

x =  π - π/4

x = 3π/4

Hence the values of x within the given interval are π/4 and 3π/4

Point C is the midpoint of a segment AB . What are the coordinates of point B, if: A(–1, 3), C( 1, –1)

Answers

Answer:

(3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the  midpoint, add the  x coordinates together and divide by 2

The x coordinate is

(x1+x2)/2

We know one point and the midpoint

( -1+x)/2 = 1

Multiply by 2

-1 +x = 2

Add 1

x =2+1

x=3

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the  y coordinates together and divide by 2

The y coordinate is

(y1+y2)/2

We know one point and the midpoint

(3+y)/2 = -1

Multiply by 2

3+y = -2

Subtract 3

y = -2-3

y =-5

The other endpoint is (3,-5)

Answer:

B(3, -5)

Step-by-step explantion

We know that these formulas can be used to find the mid point between 2 points on a graph

[tex]\frac{a_{1} +b_{1}}{2}= c_{1}\\ \frac{a_{2} +b_{2}}{2} =c_{2}[/tex]

Now we plot these points in

A(-1, 3), C(1, -1)

[tex]\frac{-1+b_{1}}{2} =1 \\\frac{3+b_{2}}{2} =1[/tex]

And we can find that

[tex]b_{1}= 3\\b_{2}=-5[/tex]

Therefore we get the answer of (3, -5)

According to a recent pol, 29 % of adults in a certain area have high levels of cholesterol. They report that such elevated levels "could be financially devastating to the regions healthcare system" and are a major concern to health insurance providers. Assume the standard deviation from the recent studies is accurate and known. According to recent studies, cholesterol levels in healthy adults from the area average about 205 mg/dL, with a standard deviation of about 25 mg/dL, and are roughly Normally distributed. If the cholesterol levels of a sample of40 healthy adults from the region is taken,What is the probability that the mean cholesterol level of the sample will be between 200 and 210

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean value μ = 205  , standard deviation of population σ = 25

no of people n = 40

standard deviation of sample of 40 people = σ / √n

σ₁ = 25 / √ 40 = 3.95

probability between 200 and 205

P ( 200 < X < 205 ) = P ( Z= (210 - 205)  / 3.95  -  P ( Z= (200 - 205)  / 3.95

= P ( Z = + 1.26 ) - P ( - 1.26 )

= .8962 - .1038

= .7924

A movie rental company offers a membership plan that costs $10/month and charges $2 to rent each movie.How many movies can a member rent in one month and spend at most $24

Answers

Answer:

7 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

membership cost for 1 month = $10

rent for 1 movie = $2

Maximum money to be spent by a member = $24

Let the no. of movie rented by x

Thus, total rent for x movies = x* rent for 1 movie = x*$2 = $2x

Total spending for 1 month = membership cost for 1 month +  total rent for x        movies

Total spending for 1 month = 10 +2x

Given that he can spend at most $24

Total spending for 1 month <= 24

10 + 2x <= 24

2x <= 24-10

2x <= 14

x <= 14/2

x <= 7

Thus, movies rented can be less than or equal to 7.

since we have to find the maximum movies rented in 23, it will be 7

Thus, at most 7 movies can be rented.

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment, given its midpoint and one endpoint. (Hint: Let (XY) be the unknown endpoint. Apply the midpoint formula, and solve the two equations for x and y)
midpoint (5. - 12), endpoint (4-7)
The other endpoint is
(Type an ordered pair)

Answers

Answer:

(6, -17)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate of a midpoint, (5, -12), and one endpoint, (4, -7), the other endpoint can be determined as follows:

The midpoint formula is given as [tex] M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}) [/tex].

Since we are given ordered pairs of the midpoint and one endpoint, we would find the other ordered pair of the endpoint as shown below.

Let the other endpoint be [tex] (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

Midpoint = M(5, -12)

Let the given endpoint = [tex] (4, -7) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Thus:

[tex] M(5, -12) = (\frac{x_1 + 4}{2}, \frac{y_1 +(-7)}{2}) [/tex]

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of the other endpoints

[tex] 5 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2} [/tex] and [tex] -12 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2} [/tex]

Solve for each:

[tex] 5 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2} [/tex]

[tex] 5*2 = \frac{x_1 + 4}{2}*2 [/tex]

[tex] 10 = x_1 + 4 [/tex]

[tex] 10 - 4 = x_1 + 4 - 4 [/tex]

[tex] 6 = x_1 [/tex]

[tex] x_1 = 6 [/tex]

[tex] -12 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2} [/tex]

[tex] -12*2 = \frac{y_1 - 7}{2}*2 [/tex]

[tex] -24 = y_1 - 7 [/tex]

[tex] -24 + 7 = y_1 - 7 + 7 [/tex]

[tex] -17 = y_1 [/tex]

[tex] y_1 = -17 [/tex]

Ordered pair of the other endpoint is (6, -17)

Find the nth Taylor polynomial for the function, centered at c. f(x) = ln(x), n = 4, c = 3 P4(x) =

Answer:

P₄(x) = ln3 + 1/3 (x-3) - 1/9*2! (x-3)² + 2/27*3! (x-3)³ - 2/27*4! (x - 3)⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = ln(x)

n = 4

c = 3

To find:

nth Taylor polynomial for the function, centered at c

Solution:

The Taylor series for f(x) = ln x centered at 3 is:

[tex]P_{n}(x) = f(c) + \frac{f'(c)}{1!}(x-c)+\frac{f''(c)}{2!}(x-c)^{2} +\frac{f'''(c)}{3!}(x-c)^{3}+...+\frac{f^{n} (c)}{n!}(x-c)^{n}[/tex]

Since c = 3 So,

[tex]P_{4}(x) = f(3) + \frac{f'(3)}{1!}(x-3)+\frac{f''(3)}{2!}(x-3)^{2} +\frac{f'''(3)}{3!}(x-3)^{3}+...+\frac{f^{n} (3)}{n!}(x-3)^{n}[/tex]

Now

f(3) = ln 3

f'(x) = 1/x ⇒ f'(3) = 1/3

f''(x) = -1/x² ⇒ f''(3) = -1/3² = -1/9

f'''(x) = 2/x³  ⇒ f'''(3) = 2/3³ = 2/27

f[tex]^{(4)}[/tex] (x) = -6/x⁴ ⇒ f[tex]^{(4)}[/tex] (3) = -6/3⁴ = -6/81 = - 2/27

So Taylor polynomial for n=4 is:

P₄(x) = ln3 + 1/3 (x-3) - 1/9*2! (x-3)² + 2/27*3! (x-3)³ - 2/27*4! (x - 3)⁴
