For the functions f(x)=18x2f(x) = \frac{18}{x - 2} and g(x)=x21g(x) = x^2 - 1, what is the value of f(g(3))f(g(3))?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The value of the composite function f(g(3))f(g(3)) is 3.
To evaluate the composite function f(g(3))f(g(3)), we start by evaluating the inner function g(3)=321=8g(3) = 3^2 - 1 = 8. We then substitute this result into the outer function, giving f(8)=1882=186=3f(8) = \frac{18}{8 - 2} = \frac{18}{6} = 3.

If the polynomial x413x2+36x^4 - 13x^2 + 36 is factored completely into the product of four linear binomials of the form (xr1)(xr2)(xr3)(xr4)(x - r_1)(x - r_2)(x - r_3)(x - r_4), where r1<r2<r3<r4r_1 < r_2 < r_3 < r_4, what is the value of the expression r1+2r2+3r3+4r4r_1 + 2r_2 + 3r_3 + 4r_4?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 11

Cevap

The value of the expression is 11.
Factoring the quartic polynomial x413x2+36x^4 - 13x^2 + 36 as a quadratic in x2x^2 yields (x29)(x24)(x^2 - 9)(x^2 - 4). Applying the difference of squares identity to each factor gives (x3)(x+3)(x2)(x+2)(x - 3)(x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 2). Matching these to the template (xr1)(xr2)(xr3)(xr4)(x - r_1)(x - r_2)(x - r_3)(x - r_4) with the condition r1<r2<r3<r4r_1 < r_2 < r_3 < r_4 yields r1=3r_1 = -3, r2=2r_2 = -2, r3=2r_3 = 2, and r4=3r_4 = 3. Evaluating the linear combination 3+2(2)+3(2)+4(3)-3 + 2(-2) + 3(2) + 4(3) results in 1111.

Cevap: 1.5

Cevap

The larger of the two solutions is 1.51.5.
Expanding the equation 2x(x1)=3x2x(x - 1) = 3 - x results in 2x22x=3x2x^2 - 2x = 3 - x. Setting this quadratic equation to zero yields 2x2x3=02x^2 - x - 3 = 0. Factoring the expression gives (2x3)(x+1)=0(2x - 3)(x + 1) = 0. Setting the first factor to zero, 2x3=02x - 3 = 0, results in x=1.5x = 1.5. Setting the second factor to zero, x+1=0x + 1 = 0, results in x=1x = -1. Comparing the two values, 1.51.5 is the larger solution.

The correct answer is 33. Substituting y=x3y = x - 3 into x2+y2=9x^2 + y^2 = 9 gives x2+(x3)2=9x^2 + (x - 3)^2 = 9. Expanding this yields 2x26x=02x^2 - 6x = 0, which factors as 2x(x3)=02x(x - 3) = 0. Since x>0x > 0, the xx-coordinate must be 33. Substituting x=3x = 3 back into the linear equation gives y=33=0y = 3 - 3 = 0. Therefore, x+y=3+0=3x + y = 3 + 0 = 3.

The correct answer is 22502250 dollars, which represents the ticket revenue for Saturday's performance.
The correct answer is 22502250 dollars. The element in the second row and first column of the product matrix C=ABC = AB is obtained by multiplying the elements of the second row of matrix AA (Saturday's ticket sales: 110110 adult, 6060 student) by the corresponding elements of the first column of matrix BB (ticket prices: $15\$15 adult, $10\$10 student) and summing the products: 110×15+60×10=1650+600=2250110 \times 15 + 60 \times 10 = 1650 + 600 = 2250.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the row of matrix AA representing Saturday's sales and the column of matrix BB representing the prices.
The second row of matrix AA is [11060]\begin{bmatrix} 110 & 60 \end{bmatrix} (representing 110110 adult tickets and 6060 student tickets sold on Saturday). Matrix BB is [1510]\begin{bmatrix} 15 \\ 10 \end{bmatrix} (representing the prices of $15\$15 and $10\$10 respectively).
Since the question asks for Saturday's performance (the second row of matrix AA) and the revenue is calculated by multiplying sales by prices, we use these specific components for the matrix multiplication.
2
Calculate the dot product of Saturday's sales row and the price column.
110×15+60×10=1650+600=2250110 \times 15 + 60 \times 10 = 1650 + 600 = 2250.
This calculation determines the sum of the revenue from adult tickets (110×15=1650110 \times 15 = 1650) and student tickets (60×10=60060 \times 10 = 600) to yield the total revenue.

Define variables for the unknowns and translate the price relationship into an algebraic equation.
Let WW be the price of a roll of wrapping paper and GG be the price of a box of greeting cards. The relationship is given by W=34GW = \frac{3}{4}G, which can be rearranged to express GG in terms of WW: G=43WG = \frac{4}{3}W.
Expressing one variable in terms of another allows us to set up a single-variable linear equation.

Write the linear equation representing the total revenue from the fundraiser sales.
The total revenue from selling 20 rolls of wrapping paper and 25 boxes of greeting cards is 20W+25G=80020W + 25G = 800. Substituting G=43WG = \frac{4}{3}W gives: 20W+25(43W)=80020W + 25\left(\frac{4}{3}W\right) = 800, which simplifies to 20W+1003W=80020W + \frac{100}{3}W = 800.

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The product of the y-coordinates of the intersection points is 4.
Solving the system of equations by setting x2=3x2x^2 = 3x - 2 leads to the quadratic equation x23x+2=0x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0, which factors as (x1)(x2)=0(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0. The x-coordinates of the intersection points are x=1x = 1 and x=2x = 2. Substituting these into y=x2y = x^2 gives the corresponding y-coordinates as y=12=1y = 1^2 = 1 and y=22=4y = 2^2 = 4. The product of these y-coordinates is 14=41 \cdot 4 = 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Equate the two equations to find the x-coordinates of the intersection points.
x2=3x2x^2 = 3x - 2
Since both equations are solved for y, setting them equal to each other allows us to find the x-coordinates where they intersect.
2
Move all terms to one side to set the quadratic equation to zero.
x23x+2=0x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
This puts the equation in the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, which can be solved by factoring.
3
Factor the quadratic equation.
(x1)(x2)=0(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0, so x1=1x_1 = 1 and x2=2x_2 = 2
Factoring shows that the values of x that satisfy the equation are the roots of the quadratic.
4
Substitute the x-coordinates back into the equation of the parabola to find the y-coordinates.
For x1=1x_1 = 1, y1=12=1y_1 = 1^2 = 1. For x2=2x_2 = 2, y2=22=4y_2 = 2^2 = 4.
Substituting x into either of the original equations gives the corresponding y-coordinates of the intersection points.
5
Calculate the product of the y-coordinates.
14=41 \cdot 4 = 4
The question asks for the product of the y-coordinates, so we multiply y1y_1 and y2y_2.

Cevap: 16s^2 + 52s + 12

Cevap

16s^2 + 52s + 12
The correct answer is found by first calculating the outer side length, which is the inner side length plus twice the walkway width: (3s2)+2(s+3)=5s+4(3s - 2) + 2(s + 3) = 5s + 4. Squaring this yields the outer area of 25s2+40s+1625s^2 + 40s + 16. The inner area is (3s2)2=9s212s+4(3s - 2)^2 = 9s^2 - 12s + 4. Subtracting the inner area from the outer area and distributing the negative sign properly gives (25s2+40s+16)(9s212s+4)=16s2+52s+12(25s^2 + 40s + 16) - (9s^2 - 12s + 4) = 16s^2 + 52s + 12.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the outer side length of the square including the walkway.
The outer side length is (3s2)+2(s+3)=3s2+2s+6=5s+4(3s - 2) + 2(s + 3) = 3s - 2 + 2s + 6 = 5s + 4 yards.
Since the walkway surrounds the garden on all sides, the width of the walkway must be added to both ends of the garden's side length.
2
Calculate the area of the outer square and the inner square garden by squaring their respective side lengths.
Outer Area = (5s+4)2=25s2+40s+16(5s + 4)^2 = 25s^2 + 40s + 16 and Inner Area = (3s2)2=9s212s+4(3s - 2)^2 = 9s^2 - 12s + 4.
The area of a square is equal to the square of its side length.
3
Subtract the inner garden area from the outer area to find the walkway area, distributing the negative sign to all terms of the inner area.
Walkway Area = (25s2+40s+16)(9s212s+4)=25s2+40s+169s2+12s4=16s2+52s+12(25s^2 + 40s + 16) - (9s^2 - 12s + 4) = 25s^2 + 40s + 16 - 9s^2 + 12s - 4 = 16s^2 + 52s + 12 square yards.
The area of the walkway is the difference between the total outer area and the inner garden area.

What is the set of all real numbers yy that make the inequality 2312y102 - 3|1 - 2y| \ge -10 a true statement?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.5y2.5-1.5 \le y \le 2.5

Cevap

1.5y2.5-1.5 \le y \le 2.5
To solve the inequality 2312y102 - 3|1 - 2y| \ge -10, we first isolate the absolute value term by subtracting 2 from both sides to get 312y12-3|1 - 2y| \ge -12, and then dividing both sides by 3-3. Since we divide by a negative number, the inequality sign reverses, giving 12y4|1 - 2y| \le 4. We rewrite this as the compound inequality 412y4-4 \le 1 - 2y \le 4. Subtracting 1 from all parts yields 52y3-5 \le -2y \le 3. Finally, dividing by 2-2 and reversing the inequality signs gives 2.5y1.52.5 \ge y \ge -1.5, which is rewritten from least to greatest as 1.5y2.5-1.5 \le y \le 2.5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality to begin isolating the absolute value term.
312y12-3|1 - 2y| \ge -12
Isolating the absolute value expression allows us to rewrite it as a standard inequality.
2
Divide both sides by 3-3 and reverse the inequality sign because of division by a negative number.
12y4|1 - 2y| \le 4
Dividing by a negative value requires reversing the inequality direction to preserve the truth of the statement.
3
Rewrite the absolute value inequality as a compound inequality.
412y4-4 \le 1 - 2y \le 4
An inequality of the form uc|u| \le c (where c>0c > 0) is equivalent to the compound inequality cuc-c \le u \le c.
4
Subtract 1 from all parts of the compound inequality.
52y3-5 \le -2y \le 3
This is the next step to isolate the variable yy in the middle.
5
Divide all parts of the compound inequality by 2-2 and reverse the inequality signs.
2.5y1.52.5 \ge y \ge -1.5, which is equivalent to 1.5y2.5-1.5 \le y \le 2.5
Dividing by the negative coefficient 2-2 requires reversing the direction of all inequality signs.

The expression is undefined when xx is equal to .
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The expression is undefined when the positive integer x is equal to 4.
The rational expression is undefined when its denominator is 0. Setting the denominator 3x210x83x^2 - 10x - 8 equal to 0 and factoring gives (3x+2)(x4)=0(3x + 2)(x - 4) = 0. The roots of this equation are x=23x = -\frac{2}{3} and x=4x = 4. Since the question restricts the target value to a positive integer, the correct value is 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set the denominator of the rational expression equal to 0.
3x210x8=03x^2 - 10x - 8 = 0
A rational expression is undefined when its denominator is equal to 0 because division by zero is undefined.
2
Factor the quadratic equation 3x210x8=03x^2 - 10x - 8 = 0.
(3x+2)(x4)=0(3x + 2)(x - 4) = 0
Factoring the quadratic trinomial helps identify the values of x that satisfy the equation.
3
Solve for the roots by setting each factor to 0.
x=23x = -\frac{2}{3} or x=4x = 4
According to the zero product property, if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
4
Filter the solutions based on the given constraint.
x=4x = 4
The question specifies that x must be a positive integer. Since 23-\frac{2}{3} is a negative fraction, we reject it and select 4.

If the equation 3x2+5x=23x^2 + 5x = 2 is solved for xx, what is the positive difference between the two solutions?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 73\frac{7}{3}

Cevap

The positive difference between the two solutions is 73\frac{7}{3}.
Rearranging the equation 3x2+5x=23x^2 + 5x = 2 by subtracting 22 from both sides gives the standard quadratic equation 3x2+5x2=03x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Factoring this expression yields (3x1)(x+2)=0(3x - 1)(x + 2) = 0. Setting each factor to zero gives the solutions x=13x = \frac{1}{3} and x=2x = -2. The positive difference between these solutions is 13(2)=13+2=73\frac{1}{3} - (-2) = \frac{1}{3} + 2 = \frac{7}{3}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Rearrange the quadratic equation into standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
3x2+5x2=03x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0
Before factoring a quadratic equation, all terms must be moved to one side so that the equation is set to zero.
2
Factor the quadratic expression by finding two binomials that multiply to 3x2+5x23x^2 + 5x - 2.
(3x1)(x+2)=0(3x - 1)(x + 2) = 0
Since the product of 33 and 2-2 is 6-6, we look for factors of 6-6 that sum to 55, which are 66 and 1-1. Splitting the middle term yields 3x2+6xx2=3x(x+2)1(x+2)=(3x1)(x+2)3x^2 + 6x - x - 2 = 3x(x + 2) - 1(x + 2) = (3x - 1)(x + 2).
3
Use the zero-product property to solve for xx by setting each binomial factor to zero.
3x1=0x=133x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{3} and x+2=0x=2x + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2
If the product of two quantities is zero, at least one of the quantities must be zero.
4
Calculate the positive difference between the two solutions.
13(2)=13+2=73|\frac{1}{3} - (-2)| = |\frac{1}{3} + 2| = \frac{7}{3}
The positive difference is the absolute value of the subtraction of one root from the other.

Cevap: -4

Cevap

The greatest integer value of yy that satisfies the inequality is 4-4.
Subtracting 9 from both sides of 92y169 - 2y \geq 16 gives 2y7-2y \geq 7. Dividing both sides by 2-2 and reversing the inequality sign yields y3.5y \leq -3.5. The greatest integer less than or equal to 3.5-3.5 is 4-4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Subtract 9 from both sides of the inequality.
2y7-2y \geq 7
This isolates the term containing yy on the left side.
2
Divide both sides of the inequality by 2-2 and reverse the direction of the inequality sign.
y3.5y \leq -3.5
Dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number requires reversing the direction of the inequality sign.
3
Identify the greatest integer that is less than or equal to 3.5-3.5.
4-4
The value of yy must be less than or equal to 3.5-3.5. The integers satisfying this condition are 4,5,6,-4, -5, -6, \dots, and the greatest of these is 4-4.

Cevap: [6,9507,650]\begin{bmatrix} 6,950 \\ 7,650 \end{bmatrix}

Cevap

The column matrix with first row 6,950 and second row 7,650
The total revenue for each store is found by calculating the product of the sales matrix NN and the price matrix PP. This multiplication is performed by taking the dot product of each row in NN with the column in PP. For the first row (Downtown store), the calculation is 40×80+25×150=3,200+3,750=6,95040 \times 80 + 25 \times 150 = 3,200 + 3,750 = 6,950. For the second row (Uptown store), the calculation is 30×80+35×150=2,400+5,250=7,65030 \times 80 + 35 \times 150 = 2,400 + 5,250 = 7,650. Combining these results yields the column matrix containing 6,950 and 7,650.

1
Set up the matrix multiplication to calculate the revenue, multiplying the sales matrix NN by the price matrix PP.
NP=[40253035][80150]NP = \begin{bmatrix} 40 & 25 \\ 30 & 35 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 80 \\ 150 \end{bmatrix}
To find the total revenue for each store, the number of units sold (organized by store in rows and product type in columns) must be multiplied by the unit prices (organized by product type in rows).
2
Calculate the revenue for the Downtown store by taking the dot product of the first row of NN and the column of PP.
40×80+25×150=3,200+3,750=6,95040 \times 80 + 25 \times 150 = 3,200 + 3,750 = 6,950
This combines the units sold of each headphone model at the Downtown store with their respective prices to find the store's total revenue.
3
Calculate the revenue for the Uptown store by taking the dot product of the second row of NN and the column of PP.
30×80+35×150=2,400+5,250=7,65030 \times 80 + 35 \times 150 = 2,400 + 5,250 = 7,650
This combines the units sold of each headphone model at the Uptown store with their respective prices to find the store's total revenue.
4
Combine the results into the final product matrix.
[6,9507,650]\begin{bmatrix} 6,950 \\ 7,650 \end{bmatrix}
The resulting matrix contains the total revenues for the Downtown store in the first row and the Uptown store in the second row.

Matrices AA, BB, and CC are defined such that A=[x324]A = \begin{bmatrix} x & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}, B=[21y5]B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ y & 5 \end{bmatrix}, and C=[1411422]C = \begin{bmatrix} 14 & 11 \\ 4 & 22 \end{bmatrix}. If AB=CAB = C, what is the value of x+yx + y?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The value of x+yx + y is 6.
The correct answer is 6 because performing the matrix multiplication ABAB yields the matrix [2x+3yx+154+4y22]\begin{bmatrix} 2x + 3y & -x + 15 \\ -4 + 4y & 22 \end{bmatrix}. Equating this to matrix CC gives the equations x+15=11-x + 15 = 11, which yields x=4x = 4, and 4+4y=4-4 + 4y = 4, which yields y=2y = 2. The sum of these values is 4+2=64 + 2 = 6. This is verified by checking the remaining equation 2(4)+3(2)=142(4) + 3(2) = 14.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Multiply matrix AA and matrix BB to express the product ABAB algebraically.
AB=[x(2)+3(y)x(1)+3(5)2(2)+4(y)2(1)+4(5)]=[2x+3yx+154+4y22]AB = \begin{bmatrix} x(2) + 3(y) & x(-1) + 3(5) \\ -2(2) + 4(y) & -2(-1) + 4(5) \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2x + 3y & -x + 15 \\ -4 + 4y & 22 \end{bmatrix}
To solve for the variables, we must first determine the resulting matrix from the multiplication of AA and BB.
2
Set up equations by equating the entries of ABAB with the corresponding entries of matrix CC.
2x+3y=142x + 3y = 14, x+15=11-x + 15 = 11, and 4+4y=4-4 + 4y = 4
Two matrices are equal if and only if all of their corresponding elements are equal.
3
Solve the single-variable equation from the first row, second column for xx.
x+15=11    x=4    x=4-x + 15 = 11 \implies -x = -4 \implies x = 4
Isolating xx gives its numeric value.
4
Solve the single-variable equation from the second row, first column for yy.
4+4y=4    4y=8    y=2-4 + 4y = 4 \implies 4y = 8 \implies y = 2
Isolating yy gives its numeric value.
5
Verify consistency with the remaining equation and calculate the final sum x+yx + y.
2(4)+3(2)=8+6=142(4) + 3(2) = 8 + 6 = 14 (consistent), and x+y=4+2=6x + y = 4 + 2 = 6.
Checking the first row, first column confirms the values are correct, and adding them yields the requested sum.

An agricultural cooperative packages a premium seed mixture containing rye grass, fescue, and bluegrass. The weight of the fescue in the mixture is 1010 pounds less than twice the weight of the rye grass. The weight of the bluegrass is 1515 pounds more than half the weight of the fescue. If the total weight of the mixture is 120120 pounds, how many pounds of bluegrass are in the mixture?

Cevap: 40

Cevap

The weight of the bluegrass in the mixture is 40 pounds.
By translating the given relationships into equations (f=2r10f = 2r - 10, b=12f+15b = \frac{1}{2}f + 15, and r+f+b=120r + f + b = 120), we can express all variables in terms of rr, yielding r+(2r10)+(r+10)=120r + (2r - 10) + (r + 10) = 120. Solving this gives r=30r = 30. Substituting this back gives the weight of bluegrass as 30+10=4030 + 10 = 40 pounds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define variables for each type of grass in the mixture.
Let rr represent the weight of rye grass, ff represent the weight of fescue, and bb represent the weight of bluegrass.
Establishing variables is necessary to translate the verbal descriptions into algebraic terms.
2
Translate the given relationships into equations.
f=2r10f = 2r - 10 and b=12f+15b = \frac{1}{2}f + 15
The problem states the fescue is 10 pounds less than twice the rye grass, and the bluegrass is 15 pounds more than half the fescue.
3
Substitute the expression for f into the equation for b to express b solely in terms of r.
b=12(2r10)+15=r5+15=r+10b = \frac{1}{2}(2r - 10) + 15 = r - 5 + 15 = r + 10
Reducing the number of variables simplifies the system of equations.
4
Set up the total weight equation and solve for r.
r+(2r10)+(r+10)=120    4r=120    r=30r + (2r - 10) + (r + 10) = 120 \implies 4r = 120 \implies r = 30
The sum of the three grass weights is given as 120 pounds.
5
Calculate the weight of the bluegrass using the value of r.
b=30+10=40b = 30 + 10 = 40
The question asks specifically for the weight of the bluegrass.
