Cevap: 2

Cevap

2
Solving the given inequality 2x75|2x - 7| \le 5 yields the compound inequality 52x75-5 \le 2x - 7 \le 5. Adding 7 across the inequality gives 22x122 \le 2x \le 12, which simplifies to 1x61 \le x \le 6. Geometrically, x8|x - 8| represents the distance between xx and 8 on the real number line. To minimize this distance for any xx in the closed interval [1,6][1, 6], we select the point in [1,6][1, 6] closest to 8, which is x=6x = 6. Evaluating at x=6x = 6 produces 68=2|6 - 8| = 2.

For all real numbers xx satisfying the absolute value inequality 4x1220|4x - 12| \le 20, the maximum possible value of the expression 23x|2 - 3x| is MM. What is the value of MM?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 22

Cevap

The maximum possible value MM of the expression 23x|2 - 3x| on the domain 2x8-2 \le x \le 8 is 22.
Solving 4x1220|4x - 12| \le 20 yields 204x1220-20 \le 4x - 12 \le 20, which simplifies to 2x8-2 \le x \le 8. Evaluating 23x|2 - 3x| over this interval gives a minimum of 00 (at x=2/3x = 2/3) and endpoint values of 23(2)=8|2 - 3(-2)| = 8 and 23(8)=22=22|2 - 3(8)| = |-22| = 22. Thus, the maximum value MM is 22.

Isolate the variable xx by adding 12 and dividing by 4.
2x8-2 \le x \le 8
Adding 12 gives 84x32-8 \le 4x \le 32. Dividing by positive 4 preserves inequality signs, yielding 2x8-2 \le x \le 8.
3
Evaluate the target expression 23x|2 - 3x| at the boundary points of the interval [2,8][-2, 8].
For x=2x = -2: 23(2)=8=8|2 - 3(-2)| = |8| = 8. For x=8x = 8: 23(8)=22=22|2 - 3(8)| = |-22| = 22.
The expression f(x)=23xf(x) = |2 - 3x| is convex and non-negative, reaching its local minimum of 0 at x=23x = \frac{2}{3}. Its maximum over a closed interval must occur at one of the endpoints.
4
Compare the evaluated values to find the maximum MM.
M=max(8,22)=22M = \max(8, 22) = 22
Comparing 8 and 22 shows that 22 is the absolute maximum value achievable within the domain.

In a right triangle, the lengths of the two legs are in a ratio of 3:43:4. If the perimeter of the triangle is 3636 centimeters, what is the area of the triangle, in square centimeters?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 54

Cevap

The area of the triangle is 54 square centimeters.
Since the ratio of the legs of the right triangle is 3:4, the triangle forms a classic 3-4-5 right triangle proportion. The perimeter is 3x+4x+5x=12x3x + 4x + 5x = 12x. Setting 12x=3612x = 36 yields x=3x = 3. The legs are therefore 99 cm and 1212 cm. Calculating the area using 12×9×12\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 12 gives 5454 square centimeters.

2
Solve for xx using the given perimeter
x=3x = 3
The sum of all three sides is 3x+4x+5x=12x=363x + 4x + 5x = 12x = 36, giving x=3x = 3.

In a circle centered at point OO, the ratio of the area of sector AOBAOB to the area of the entire circle is 3:83:8. If the total perimeter of sector AOBAOB is 24+9π24 + 9\pi, what is the radius of the circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The radius of the circle is 12.
Since the ratio of the sector area to the total circle area is 3:83:8, the sector accounts for 38\frac{3}{8} of the entire circumference 2πr2\pi r, making the arc length L=38(2πr)=34πrL = \frac{3}{8}(2\pi r) = \frac{3}{4}\pi r. The perimeter of the sector is 2r+L=2r+34πr2r + L = 2r + \frac{3}{4}\pi r. Equating this to 24+9π24 + 9\pi gives 2r=242r = 24, so r=12r = 12.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Relate sector area ratio to arc length
Arc length L=34πrL = \frac{3}{4}\pi r
The fraction of the circle occupied by the sector is 38\frac{3}{8}, so the arc length is 38\frac{3}{8} of the circle's circumference 2πr2\pi r.
2
Formulate the perimeter expression for sector AOBAOB
Perimeter = 2r+34πr2r + \frac{3}{4}\pi r
The boundary of a sector includes two straight radii of length rr plus the curved arc length LL.
3
Equate to given perimeter and solve for rr
r=12r = 12
Comparing 2r+34πr2r + \frac{3}{4}\pi r to 24+9π24 + 9\pi, setting 2r=242r = 24 yields r=12r = 12, which also satisfies 34π(12)=9π\frac{3}{4}\pi (12) = 9\pi.

By converting all radicals into fractional exponents and systematically applying exponent rules, the expression under the cube root simplifies to x4x^4. Taking the cube root gives x4/3=16x^{4/3} = 16. Solving for xx by raising both sides to 3/43/4 yields x=163/4=(24)3/4=23=8x = 16^{3/4} = (2^4)^{3/4} = 2^3 = 8.

1
Express the inner nested radical using fractional exponents
\sqrt{x\sqrt{x}} = \sqrt{x \cdot x^{1/2}} = \sqrt{x^{3/2}} = x^{3/4}
Applying the product and power rules of exponents: xaxb=xa+bx^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b} and (xa)b=xab(x^a)^b = x^{ab}.
2
Simplify the numerator inside the outer radical
x^3 \cdot x^{3/4} = x^{3 + 3/4} = x^{15/4}
Multiplying exponential terms with the same base requires adding their exponents.
3
Divide by the negative exponent in the denominator
\frac{x^{15/4}}{x^{-1/4}} = x^{15/4 - (-1/4)} = x^{16/4} = x^4
Dividing exponential terms with the same base requires subtracting the denominator exponent from the numerator exponent.
4
Apply the outer cube root to the simplified expression
x43=(x4)1/3=x4/3\sqrt[3]{x^4} = (x^4)^{1/3} = x^{4/3}
The nn-th root of an expression is equivalent to raising that expression to the power of 1/n1/n.
5
Solve the resulting exponential equation for xx
x^{4/3} = 16 \implies x = 16^{3/4} = (2^4)^{3/4} = 2^3 = 8
Raise both sides of x4/3=16x^{4/3} = 16 to the power of 3/43/4 to isolate xx.

The measure of AXC\angle AXC is 103103^\circ.
Line L1L_1 is parallel to line L2L_2, meaning segment ACAC is parallel to segment BDBD. Transversal line CDCD intersects both parallel lines, creating alternate interior angles XCA\angle XCA and XDB\angle XDB. Hence, XCA=XDB=35\angle XCA = \angle XDB = 35^\circ. Inside triangle ACXACX, the three interior angles must sum to 180180^\circ. Substituting the values yields AXC=180(42+35)=103\angle AXC = 180^\circ - (42^\circ + 35^\circ) = 103^\circ.

Rewriting the equation of line mm, 3x4y=123x - 4y = 12, in slope-intercept form gives y=34x3y = \frac{3}{4}x - 3, so line mm has a slope of 34\frac{3}{4}. Since line kk is perpendicular to line mm, its slope is the negative reciprocal, 43-\frac{4}{3}. Using the point (1,2)(1, -2), line kk has the equation y=43x23y = -\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}. Setting this equal to the equation of line nn (y=2x+1y = 2x + 1) yields 43x23=2x+1-\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3} = 2x + 1, which solves to x=0.5x = -0.5 and y=0y = 0, giving the intersection point P(0.5,0)P(-0.5, 0). Finally, calculating the distance between P(0.5,0)P(-0.5, 0) and (3.5,3)(3.5, 3) using the distance formula gives (3.5(0.5))2+(30)2=42+32=25=5\sqrt{(3.5 - (-0.5))^2 + (3 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5.

1
Determine the slope of line mm
The slope of line mm is 34\frac{3}{4}
Rewriting 3x4y=123x - 4y = 12 in slope-intercept form gives y=34x3y = \frac{3}{4}x - 3, so the slope is 34\frac{3}{4}.
2
Determine the slope of line kk
The slope of line kk is 43-\frac{4}{3}
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
3
Write the equation of line kk
The equation of line kk is y=43x23y = -\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}
Using point-slope form with (1,2)(1, -2) gives y(2)=43(x1)y - (-2) = -\frac{4}{3}(x - 1), which simplifies to y=43x23y = -\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}.
4
Find the coordinates of intersection point PP
Point PP has coordinates (0.5,0)(-0.5, 0)
Setting 43x23=2x+1-\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3} = 2x + 1 yields 103x=53    x=0.5-\frac{10}{3}x = \frac{5}{3} \implies x = -0.5. Substituting x=0.5x = -0.5 into y=2x+1y = 2x + 1 yields y=0y = 0.

Solving the piecewise linear inequality 3x4+2x+5263|x - 4| + 2|x + 5| \le 26 yields the interval [4,5.6][-4, 5.6]. The distance function x7|x - 7| reaches its maximum at the endpoint farthest from 77, which is x=4x = -4. Evaluating 47|-4 - 7| yields 11.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the critical points of the absolute value terms.
The critical points are x=5x = -5 (where x+5=0x + 5 = 0) and x=4x = 4 (where x4=0x - 4 = 0).
Critical points mark where the linear expressions inside the absolute values change sign.
2
Analyze the inequality piecewise across the three regions defined by the critical points.
For x<5x < -5: 3(4x)+2(5x)26    25x26    x4.83(4 - x) + 2(-5 - x) \le 26 \implies 2 - 5x \le 26 \implies x \ge -4.8. This produces no solution since xx cannot be simultaneously <5< -5 and 4.8\ge -4.8.
For 5x<4-5 \le x < 4: 3(4x)+2(x+5)26    22x26    x43(4 - x) + 2(x + 5) \le 26 \implies 22 - x \le 26 \implies x \ge -4, yielding 4x<4-4 \le x < 4.
For x4x \ge 4: 3(x4)+2(x+5)26    5x226    x5.63(x - 4) + 2(x + 5) \le 26 \implies 5x - 2 \le 26 \implies x \le 5.6, yielding 4x5.64 \le x \le 5.6.
Expanding absolute value terms according to their regional sign definitions removes the absolute values.
3
Combine the valid regional solutions to establish the complete solution interval for xx.
The set of all satisfying real numbers is x[4,5.6]x \in [-4, 5.6].
Taking the union of the non-empty piecewise solution intervals yields the total solution set.
4
Find the maximum value of x7|x - 7| over x[4,5.6]x \in [-4, 5.6].
At x=4x = -4, 47=11=11|-4 - 7| = |-11| = 11. At x=5.6x = 5.6, 5.67=1.4=1.4|5.6 - 7| = |-1.4| = 1.4. The maximum possible value is 11.
The expression x7|x - 7| measures distance from 77. The maximum distance on a closed interval occurs at the endpoint farthest from 77, which is x=4x = -4.

1
Substitute p=3p = 3 and q=4q = -4 into the expression 2p23q2p^2 - 3q.
2(3)23(4)2(3)^2 - 3(-4)
The custom operation defines how to process the two inputs pp and qq.
2
Simplify the powers and products according to order of operations.
2(9)(12)=18+122(9) - (-12) = 18 + 12
Exponents must be calculated before multiplication, and multiplying two negative numbers yields a positive value.
3
Add the terms together to get the final numerical result.
3030
18+12=3018 + 12 = 30.

The area of the original triangle ABC\triangle ABC is computed as 8484 using Heron's formula. By defining the linear scale factor kk between ADE\triangle ADE and ABC\triangle ABC, the perimeters of ADE\triangle ADE and quadrilateral DBCEDBCE are expressed as 42k42k and 4214k42 - 14k, respectively. Setting these equal yields k=0.75k = 0.75. The area of ADE\triangle ADE is then k2×84=0.5625×84=47.25k^2 \times 84 = 0.5625 \times 84 = 47.25.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the perimeter and area of the main triangle ABC\triangle ABC.
The perimeter of ABC\triangle ABC is 13+14+15=4213 + 14 + 15 = 42. Using Heron's formula with semi-perimeter s=21s = 21, Area(ABC)=21(2113)(2114)(2115)=21×8×7×6=84\text{Area}(\triangle ABC) = \sqrt{21(21-13)(21-14)(21-15)} = \sqrt{21 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6} = 84.
Finding the area and perimeter of the full triangle sets the required baseline for proportional scaling.
2
Set up expressions for the perimeters of ADE\triangle ADE and quadrilateral DBCEDBCE using a scale factor kk.
Because DEBCDE \parallel BC, ADEABC\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ABC with scale factor k=ADAB=AEAC=DEBCk = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AE}{AC} = \frac{DE}{BC}. Thus, Perimeter(ADE)=13k+15k+14k=42k\text{Perimeter}(\triangle ADE) = 13k + 15k + 14k = 42k. The segments DB=13(1k)DB = 13(1-k) and EC=15(1k)EC = 15(1-k), so Perimeter(DBCE)=13(1k)+14+15(1k)+14k=4214k\text{Perimeter}(DBCE) = 13(1-k) + 14 + 15(1-k) + 14k = 42 - 14k.
Parallel lines create similar triangles, which allows all perimeter segment lengths to be represented in terms of one variable kk.
3
Solve for the scale factor kk by equating the two perimeters.
42k=4214k    56k=42    k=4256=34=0.7542k = 42 - 14k \implies 56k = 42 \implies k = \frac{42}{56} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75.
Equating the perimeters satisfies the condition specified in the question stem.
4
Calculate the area of ADE\triangle ADE using the square of the linear scale factor.
Area(ADE)=k2×Area(ABC)=(34)2×84=916×84=1894=47.25\text{Area}(\triangle ADE) = k^2 \times \text{Area}(\triangle ABC) = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 \times 84 = \frac{9}{16} \times 84 = \frac{189}{4} = 47.25.
The area ratio of similar geometric figures is proportional to the square of their linear scale factor.

A water reservoir is filled by Pipe A and Pipe B operating simultaneously at their respective constant rates. Operating together at their original rates, the two pipes can fill the empty reservoir completely in 1212 hours. On a certain day, both pipes begin filling the empty reservoir together at their original rates. After 44 hours, Pipe A's rate decreases by 25%25\%, while Pipe B's rate increases by 50%50\%. Operating at these new constant rates, the two pipes require an additional 77 hours to fill the remainder of the reservoir. How many hours would it take Pipe A, operating alone at its original rate, to fill the entire reservoir?

Cevap: 25.2

Cevap

It would take Pipe A 25.2 hours operating alone at its original rate to fill the entire reservoir.
By defining the original work rates aa and bb in reservoirs per hour, the initial condition yields a+b=112a + b = \frac{1}{12}. In the first 4 hours, 13\frac{1}{3} of the job is completed, leaving 23\frac{2}{3}. Setting up the equation for the remaining job with modified rates 0.75a0.75a and 1.5b1.5b over 7 hours produces 7(0.75a+1.5b)=237(0.75a + 1.5b) = \frac{2}{3}. Solving this system of two linear equations yields a=5126a = \frac{5}{126} reservoirs per hour. Taking the reciprocal gives the time required for Pipe A alone to fill the reservoir, which is 25.225.2 hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up equations for the original rates of Pipe A (aa) and Pipe B (bb).
The combined original rate is a+b=112a + b = \frac{1}{12} reservoir per hour.
Together they complete 11 reservoir in 1212 hours.
2
Determine the fraction of the reservoir filled in the first 4 hours and the remaining fraction.
Work completed = 4×112=134 \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{3}; Remaining work = 23\frac{2}{3}.
The pipes worked at their original combined rate for 4 hours.
3
Set up an equation for the work done during the remaining 7 hours at the adjusted rates.
7(0.75a+1.5b)=23    5.25a+10.5b=23    63a+126b=87 \left(0.75a + 1.5b\right) = \frac{2}{3} \implies 5.25a + 10.5b = \frac{2}{3} \implies 63a + 126b = 8.
Pipe A's rate decreases by 25%25\% to 0.75a0.75a, and Pipe B's rate increases by 50%50\% to 1.5b1.5b.
4
Solve the system of linear equations for aa.
a=5126a = \frac{5}{126} reservoir per hour.
Multiplying a+b=112a + b = \frac{1}{12} by 126126 yields 126a+126b=10.5126a + 126b = 10.5. Subtracting 63a+126b=863a + 126b = 8 gives 63a=2.563a = 2.5, so a=2.563=5126a = \frac{2.5}{63} = \frac{5}{126}.
5
Calculate the time for Pipe A alone to fill the entire reservoir.
Time =1a=1265=25.2= \frac{1}{a} = \frac{126}{5} = 25.2 hours.
Time equals total work divided by individual rate.

In circle OO, line segments ABAB and CDCD are perpendicular diameters, each of length 1212. An arc of a second circle, centered at point AA with radius ACAC, is drawn from point CC to point DD through the interior of circle OO. What is the area of the crescent-shaped region bounded by the semicircle CBDCBD of circle OO and arc CDCD of the second circle?

Cevap: 36

Cevap

36
Circle OO has radius r=6r = 6, giving semicircle CBDCBD an area of 12π(62)=18π\frac{1}{2}\pi(6^2) = 18\pi. The distance AC=62+62=62AC = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2} is the radius of circle AA. Because CAD=90\angle CAD = 90^\circ, sector ACDACD has area 90360π(62)2=18π\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ}\pi(6\sqrt{2})^2 = 18\pi. Subtracting the area of triangle ACDACD (12×12×6=36\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 6 = 36) yields a segment area of 18π3618\pi - 36. Subtracting this segment area from the semicircle area yields 18π(18π36)=3618\pi - (18\pi - 36) = 36.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the radii of circle OO and circle AA.
Radius of circle OO is r=6r = 6. In right triangle AOCAOC, OA=OC=6OA = OC = 6, so radius AC=62+62=62AC = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2}.
Perpendicular diameters ABAB and CDCD intersect at center OO, dividing each diameter into radii of length 66.
2
Calculate the area of sector ACDACD of circle AA and triangle ACDACD.
Sector area =90360π(62)2=18π= \frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi (6\sqrt{2})^2 = 18\pi. Triangle area =12×12×6=36= \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 6 = 36.
Angle CAD=90\angle CAD = 90^\circ because ACD\triangle ACD is a right isosceles triangle with hypotenuse CD=12CD = 12.
3
Find the area of the circular segment bounded by chord CDCD and arc CDCD of circle AA.
Segment Area =18π36= 18\pi - 36.
The area of a circular segment is equal to the sector area minus the triangle area.
4
Subtract the segment area from the area of semicircle CBDCBD of circle OO.
Region Area =18π(18π36)=36= 18\pi - (18\pi - 36) = 36.
Semicircle CBDCBD has radius 66 and area 12π(62)=18π\frac{1}{2}\pi(6^2) = 18\pi. Subtracting the segment area leaves the crescent region.

- Each Beta board requires 1 hour of Solder, 4 hours of Component Placement, and 2 hours of Inspection.
- Each Gamma board requires 3 hours of Solder, 2 hours of Component Placement, and 4 hours of Inspection.

Cevap: 28

Cevap

The total number of circuit boards produced is 28.
Setting up equations for total machine hours yields 2x+y+3z=552x + y + 3z = 55, 3x+4y+2z=853x + 4y + 2z = 85, and x+2y+4z=65x + 2y + 4z = 65, where xx, yy, and zz represent the quantities of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma boards produced, respectively. Subtracting the third equation from the first equation gives (2x+y+3z)(x+2y+4z)=5565(2x + y + 3z) - (x + 2y + 4z) = 55 - 65, which simplifies to xyz=10x - y - z = -10, or x=y+z10x = y + z - 10. Substituting x=y+z10x = y + z - 10 into the second and third equations produces the 2x2 system 7y+5z=1157y + 5z = 115 and 3y+5z=753y + 5z = 75. Subtracting these two equations eliminates zz, giving 4y=404y = 40, so y=10y = 10. Substituting y=10y = 10 into 3y+5z=753y + 5z = 75 gives 30+5z=7530 + 5z = 75, so z=9z = 9. Substituting y=10y = 10 and z=9z = 9 into x=y+z10x = y + z - 10 gives x=9x = 9. The total number of circuit boards produced is x+y+z=9+10+9=28x + y + z = 9 + 10 + 9 = 28.

3y+5z=753y + 5z = 75 and 7y+5z=1157y + 5z = 115
Reducing to a two-variable system allows direct elimination.
