Cevap: 84

Cevap

84

The correct answer is 84 because solving the system yields the quadratic equation

x^2 - 11x - 12 = 0

, which has roots

x = 12

and

x = -1

. Substituting these back into the original equations shows that only

x = 12

is valid (giving

y = 7

), while

x = -1

is extraneous (since

\sqrt{36} = 6 \neq -6

). The product of the coordinates of the valid solution is

12 \times 7 = 84

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set the two expressions for

y

equal to each other to solve for

x

.

\sqrt{x + 37} = x - 5

Since both equations are solved for

y

, their right-hand sides must be equal at the point of intersection.

2

Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the radical.

x + 37 = (x - 5)^2 \Rightarrow x + 37 = x^2 - 10x + 25

Squaring is the inverse operation of the square root. The binomial on the right must be expanded fully using

(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

.

3

Rearrange the quadratic equation into standard form.

x^2 - 11x - 12 = 0

Subtracting

x

and

37

from both sides sets the quadratic equation to zero so it can be solved.

4

Factor the quadratic equation to find the algebraic solutions.

(x - 12)(x + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 12 \text{ or } x = -1

Factoring the trinomial allows us to find the roots by setting each linear factor to zero.

5

Substitute each solution back into the original system to check for extraneous solutions.

For

x = 12

:

y = 12 - 5 = 7

and

y = \sqrt{12 + 37} = 7

(Valid). For

x = -1

:

y = -1 - 5 = -6

, but

y = \sqrt{-1 + 37} = 6 \neq -6

(Extraneous).

Squaring both sides of an equation can introduce extraneous solutions that do not satisfy the original radical relationship because the principal square root must be non-negative.

6

Calculate the product

xy

of the coordinates of the valid solution.

xy = 12 \times 7 = 84

The question asks for the product of

x

and

y

for the real solution

Cevap

The correct answer is 20, which is the value of the expression

3x + 2

when

x = 6

.

The value of the expression

3x + 2

is 20. Solving the linear equation

\frac{2}{3}(3x - 4) - \frac{1}{4}(x + 2) = \frac{22}{3}

yields

x = 6

Cevap: 41

Cevap

The value of the expression

2x - 5

is 41.

Solving the linear equation by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator of 12 yields the simplified equation

9(x - 3) - 4(2x + 5) = -24

. Expanding the terms gives

9x - 27 - 8x - 20 = -24

, which simplifies to

x - 47 = -24

. Combine the constant terms:

-\frac{9}{4} - \frac{5}{3} = -\frac{27}{12} - \frac{20}{12} = -\frac{47}{12}

. This gives the equation

\frac{1}{12}x - \frac{47}{12} = -2

. Add

\frac{47}{12}

to both sides:

\frac{1}{12}x = -2 + \frac{47}{12} = -\frac{24}{12} + \frac{47}{12} = \frac{23}{12}

5

To find the entry

c_{12}

in the first row and second column of the product matrix

C = AB

, we calculate the dot product of the first row of matrix

A

and the second column of matrix

B

. The first row of

A

is

[x, 4]

and the second column of

B

is

[-2, 3]^T

. Thus,

c_{12} = x(-2) + 4(3) = -2x + 12

. Setting this equal to the given value of

2

gives the equation

-2x + 12 = 2

Cevap: $16 + 16\sqrt{2}$

Cevap

16 + 16\sqrt{2}

Using the change of base property

\log_x(y) = \frac{1}{\log_y(x)}

, the equation can be written in terms of

u = \log_y(x)

as

u + \frac{6}{u} = 5

. Solving this quadratic equation gives

u = 2

or

u = 3

. If

\log_y(x) = 2

, then

x = y^2

. Substituting into

xy = 64

yields

y^3 = 64 \implies y = 4

, which gives

x = 16

. If

\log_y(x) = 3

, then

x = y^3

. Substituting into

xy = 64

yields

y^4 = 64 \implies y = 2\sqrt{2}

, which gives

x = 16\sqrt{2}

. The sum of these values is

16 + 16\sqrt{2}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the change of base formula to express the equation in terms of a single logarithmic base.

Since

\log_x(y) = \frac{1}{\log_y(x)}

, the equation

\log_y(x) + 6\log_x(y) = 5

becomes

\log_y(x) + \frac{6}{\log_y(x)} = 5

.

This allows us to solve for the log expression using substitution.

2

Substitute

u = \log_y(x)

and solve the resulting quadratic equation for

u

.

u + \frac{6}{u} = 5 \implies u^2 - 5u + 6 = 0 \implies (u-2)(u-3) = 0

, so

u = 2

or

u = 3

.

Solving the quadratic equation gives the possible relationships between

x

and

y

.

3

Analyze the first case where

u = 2

and solve for

x

.

If

\log_y(x) = 2

, then

x = y^2

. Substituting this into

xy = 64

gives

y^3 = 64

, which yields

y = 4

. Thus,

x = 4^2 = 16

.

This determines the first possible value of

x

.

4

Analyze the second case where

u = 3

and solve for

x

.

If

\log_y(x) = 3

, then

x = y^3

. Substituting this into

xy = 64

gives

y^4 = 64

, which yields

y = 64^{1/4} = (2^6)^{1/4} = 2^{3/2} = 2\sqrt{2}

. Thus,

x = (2\sqrt{2})^3 = 16\sqrt{2}

This determines the second possible value of

Instead of using substitution directly, you can write both equations in terms of base 2 or natural logs: let

\log_y(x) = k

, which means

x = y^k

. We then have

k + 6/k = 5

giving

k = 2

The correct answer is the matrix with entries 1,680 and 2,100. This is found by multiplying the sales matrix by the price matrix. The revenue for Friday is calculated as

80 \times 6 + 120 \times 10 = 480 + 1,200 = 1,680

. The revenue for Saturday is

100 \times 6 + 150 \times 10 = 600 + 1,500 = 2,100

If $x$ is a positive real number such that $\log_2(x) + \log_4(x) + \log_{16}(x) = 7$ , what is the value of $x$ ?

By converting all logarithms to base 2, we write

\log_4(x)

as

\frac{1}{2}\log_2(x)

and

\log_{16}(x)

as

\frac{1}{4}\log_2(x)

. Summing these gives

\frac{7}{4}\log_2(x) = 7

, which simplifies to

\log_2(x) = 4

. Converting to exponential form, we find

x = 2^4 = 16

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the change of base formula to express the logarithms with a common base of 2.

\log_4(x) = \frac{1}{2}\log_2(x)

and

\log_{16}(x) = \frac{1}{4}\log_2(x)

, giving the equation

\log_2(x) + \frac{1}{2}\log_2(x) + \frac{1}{4}\log_2(x) = 7

.

Rewriting the terms with a common base allows them to be combined algebraically.

2

Combine the coefficients of the like terms on the left-hand side.

\frac{7}{4}\log_2(x) = 7

.

The sum of the coefficients is

1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} + \frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4}

.

3

Isolate the logarithm term by dividing or multiplying by the reciprocal coefficient.

\log_2(x) = 4

Multiplying both sides by

\frac{4}{7}

solves for the value of

\log_2(x)

.

4

Convert the equation from logarithmic form to its equivalent exponential form.

The correct answer is 9. First, substitute the inner function into the outer function to get

f(g(x)) = |2g(x) - 6| - 16 = 0

. This simplifies to the absolute value equation

|2g(x) - 6| = 16

. Splitting this into its two possible cases gives

2g(x) - 6 = 16 \implies g(x) = 11

, and

2g(x) - 6 = -16 \implies g(x) = -5

. Solving the first case,

(x-3)^2 - 5 = 11 \implies (x-3)^2 = 16

. Taking both square roots yields

x - 3 = 4 \implies x = 7

and

x - 3 = -4 \implies x = -1

. Solving the second case,

(x-3)^2 - 5 = -5 \implies (x-3)^2 = 0 \implies x - 3 = 0 \implies x = 3

2

Isolate the absolute value term and split the equation into two cases.

The correct answer is 12. We can simplify the system of equations by using the power rule of logarithms, which allows us to rewrite

\log_2(a^2)

as

2\log_2(a)

. Letting

x = \log_2(a)

and

y = \log_2(b)

gives us the system

x + y = 5

and

2x - y = 4

. Adding these equations gives

3x = 9

, which means

x = 3

. Substituting this back gives

y = 2

. Converting back from logarithmic form to exponential form, we get

a = 2^3 = 8

and

b = 2^2 = 4

. Therefore,

a + b = 8 + 4 = 12

.

This simplifies the term

\log_2(a^2)

so that it is linear in terms of

\log_2(a)

2x - y = 4

Variable substitution reduces the logarithmic system to a standard system of linear equations.

3

Solve the linear system by adding the two equations together.

Adding the equations yields

(x + y) + (2x - y) = 5 + 4

, which simplifies to

3x = 9

, so

x = 3

. Substituting

x = 3

back into the first equation gives

3 + y = 5

, so

y = 2

x

and then find

y

A system of equations consists of the circle defined by $x^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 10$ and the line defined by $y = 2x - 1$ . The two points of intersection of this system and the origin, $(0, 0)$ , form the vertices of a triangle in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane. What is the area of this triangle?

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The correct area of the triangle is 1.

The correct answer of 1 is found by substituting the linear equation into the circle's equation, solving the resulting quadratic equation to find the coordinates of the two intersection points,

(1, 1)

and

(3, 5)

, and then applying the coordinate area formula for a triangle with a vertex at the origin.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute the linear equation into the circle's equation to form a quadratic equation in terms of

x

.

x^2 + (2x - 5)^2 = 10

This allows us to solve for the x-coordinates of the intersection points by replacing

y

with

2x - 1

in

(y - 4)^2

to get

(2x - 5)^2

.

2

Expand the squared binomial and simplify the quadratic equation.

5x^2 - 20x + 15 = 0

Expanding

(2x - 5)^2

yields

4x^2 - 20x + 25

. Adding

x^2

and subtracting

10

from both sides simplifies the equation to standard quadratic form.

3

Divide the quadratic equation by 5 and solve for

x

by factoring.

x = 1

and

x = 3

Dividing the equation by 5 yields

x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0

, which factors as

(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0

.

4

Find the corresponding y-coordinates by substituting the

x

-values back into the linear equation

y = 2x - 1

.

The intersection points are

(1, 1)

and

(3, 5)

.

For

x = 1

,

y = 2(1) - 1 = 1

. For

x = 3

,

y = 2(3) - 1 = 5

.

5

Calculate the area of the triangle with vertices at the origin

(0, 0)

and the two intersection points

(1, 1)

and

(3, 5)

.

Area = 1

Using the coordinate area formula for a triangle with one vertex at the origin,

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} |x_1 y_2 - x_2 y_1| = \frac{1}{2} |1(5) - 3(1)| = \frac{1}{2} |2| = 1

.

Instead of using the coordinate area formula, we can find the distance between the two intersection points to serve as the base of the triangle (

2x - y - 1 = 0

to serve as the height (

h = \frac{|-1|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

). The area is then

\frac{1}{2} \times 2\sqrt{5} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = 1

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Subtract 7 from both sides to begin isolating the absolute value term.

-3|2z + 1| \ge -15

To solve an absolute value inequality, we must first isolate the absolute value term on one side.

Divide both sides by -3 and reverse the direction of the inequality sign.

|2z + 1| \le 5

Dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality sign.

3

Rewrite the absolute value inequality as a compound inequality.

-5 \le 2z + 1 \le 5

An inequality of the form

|u| \le a

This is the first step to isolate the variable

z

in the middle.

5

Divide all three parts by 2.

-3 \le z \le 2

This fully isolates

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $2$

Cevap

The width of the rectangle is

2

inches.

The correct answer is the option stating that the width is

2

inches. This is obtained by expressing the length as

w+3

and setting the area equation to

w(w+3) = 10

. Expanding and setting it to zero gives the quadratic equation

w^2 + 3w - 10 = 0

, which factors to

(w+5)(w-2) = 0

. Since width must be positive, the only valid solution is

2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables for the dimensions of the rectangle based on the problem statement.

Let the width of the rectangle be

w

inches. The length of the rectangle is

w + 3

inches.

The problem states that the length is

3

inches greater than the width.

2

Set up an equation representing the area of the rectangle.

The area is the product of width and length:

w(w + 3) = 10

.

The area of a rectangle is calculated as width times length, and the given area is

10

square inches.

3

Rewrite the equation in standard quadratic form

aw^2 + bw + c = 0

.

Distribute

w

to get

w^2 + 3w = 10

, then subtract

10

from both sides:

w^2 + 3w - 10 = 0

.

Standard quadratic form is required to solve the equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula.

4

Factor the quadratic equation.

(w + 5)(w - 2) = 0

.

Finding factors that multiply to

-10

and add to

3

allows us to find the roots.

5

Solve for

w

and apply real-world constraints.

w = -5

or

w = 2

. Since a physical width must be positive, discard

-5

, leaving

w = 2

Cevap: $700$

Cevap

The library has

700

more fiction books than non-fiction books.

The correct answer is

700

because defining the non-fiction books as

n

gives

2n + 120

fiction books. Summing these to equal

1860

yields

3n + 120 = 1860

, which solves to

n = 580

. The number of fiction books is therefore

2(580) + 120 = 1280

. The difference between the two quantities is

1280 - 580 = 700

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables for the two categories of books.

Let

n

be the number of non-fiction books. Then the number of fiction books,

f

, can be written as

f = 2n + 120

.

This translates the statement 'the number of fiction books is

120

more than twice the number of non-fiction books' into an algebraic expression.

2

Set up an equation representing the total number of books.

n + f = 1860 \implies n + (2n + 120) = 1860 \implies 3n + 120 = 1860

.

The sum of the fiction and non-fiction books must equal the total library inventory of

1860

books.

3

Solve the equation for the number of non-fiction books,

n

.

3n = 1740 \implies n = 580

.

Subtracting

120

from both sides and then dividing by

3

isolates the variable

n

.

4

Calculate the number of fiction books and find the difference.

Fiction books:

f = 2(580) + 120 = 1280

. Difference:

f - n = 1280 - 580 = 700

.

The question asks for the difference between the number of fiction and non-fiction books.

Cevap: $-\frac{1}{4}$

Cevap

-\frac{1}{4}

The correct answer is

-\frac{1}{4}

. The line passes through

(4, 1)

with slope

m

. Using the point-slope formula, the equation of the line is

y - 1 = m(x - 4)

, which simplifies to

y = mx - 4m + 1

. The

y

-intercept is found by setting

x = 0

, giving

1 - 4m

. The

x

-intercept is found by setting

y = 0

, giving

\frac{4m-1}{m}

. The area of the right-triangular region in the first quadrant bounded by the axes is

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (\text{base}) \cdot (\text{height}) = 8

. Substituting the intercepts, we get

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{4m-1}{m}\right) \cdot (1-4m) = 8

. Multiplying by

2m

(which is negative, so we maintain positive side lengths) yields

-(1-4m)^2 = 16m

, which simplifies to

16m^2 + 8m + 1 = 0

. Factoring the quadratic expression gives

(4m+1)^2 = 0

, which has the single solution

m = -\frac{1}{4}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the equation of the line using the point-slope form with the point

(4, 1)

and slope

m

.

y - 1 = m(x - 4) \implies y = mx - 4m + 1

The point-slope formula

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

defines any line passing through a given point with a specific slope.

2

Find the

x

-intercept and

y

-intercept of the line.

y\text{-intercept} = 1 - 4m

(when

x=0

), and

x\text{-intercept} = \frac{4m-1}{m}

(when

y=0

)

The intercepts represent the vertices of the right triangle formed by the line and the coordinate axes.

3

Set up the area equation for the right triangle in the first quadrant, noting that since

m < 0

, both intercepts are positive.

Area = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \text{base} \cdot \text{height} \implies \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{4m-1}{m}\right) \cdot (1-4m) = 8

The area of the region bounded by the axes and the line is a right triangle whose legs are the intercepts.

4

Solve the algebraic equation for

m

.

(4m-1)(1-4m) = 16m \implies 16m^2 + 8m + 1 = 0 \implies (4m+1)^2 = 0 \implies m = -\frac{1}{4}

Multiplying both sides by

2m

and expanding the terms leads to a quadratic equation in terms of

m

, which resolves to a single real root.

Instead of using the point-slope form, write the line in intercept form:

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

, where

a

and

b

are the

x

- and

y

-intercepts. The area of the region is

\frac{1}{2}ab = 8 \implies ab = 16 \implies b = \frac{16}{a}

. Substitute this back into the intercept form to get

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{16/a} = 1 \implies \frac{x}{a} + \frac{ay}{16} = 1

. Since the line passes through

(4, 1)

, substitute these coordinates:

\frac{4}{a} + \frac{a(1)}{16} = 1

. Multiply the entire equation by

16a

to clear the denominators:

64 + a^2 = 16a \implies a^2 - 16a + 64 = 0 \implies (a-8)^2 = 0 \implies a = 8

. Since

a = 8

, the

y

-intercept is

b = \frac{16}{8} = 2

. Using the intercepts

(8, 0)

and

(0, 2)

, the slope is

m = \frac{2 - 0}{0 - 8} = -\frac{2}{8} = -\frac{1}{4}

.
