By means of relationship between powers and roots and algebra properties we conclude that radical expression ∛y · [2 · y · ∛(8 · y²) - ∛(y⁵) - 4∛(8 · y²)] is equivalent to 2 · y · ∛(8 · y⁵) - ∛(y⁶) - 4 ∛(8 · y³).

In this problem we find a polynomial-like radical expression that must be simplified by algebra properties and by taking advantage of relationship between powers and roots. First, write the entire expression:

∛y · [2 · y · ∛(8 · y²) - ∛(y⁵) - 4∛(8 · y²)]

Second, apply distributive property:

2 · y · ∛(8 · y²) · ∛y - ∛(y⁵) · ∛y - 4∛(8 · y²) · ∛y

Third, use relationship between roots and powers:

2 · ∛(y³) · ∛(8 · y²) · ∛y - ∛(y⁵) · ∛y - 4∛(8 · y²) · ∛y

Fourth, apply multiplication of roots and multiplication of powers of equal base:

Answer: 3c+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is E, The roots of Auxiliary equation are √6 and -√6.

The solution of an nth-order differential equation or difference equation depends on an algebraic equation of degree n called the characteristic equation (or auxiliary equation) in mathematics.

The auxiliary equation, however, lacks true roots. Consider the simple harmonic equation y + y = 0, which has solutions and was given that name because of how it relates to the vibration of a musical tone. Y2(t) = cos t and Y1(t) = sin t. r2 + 1 = 0 is the auxiliary equation for the straightforward harmonic equation.

The Auxiliary form of the given equation is m² - 6 = 0

Using identity a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b),

⇒ The equation becomes (m - √6)(m+√6) = 0

⇒ either m = √6 or m = -√6

Hence, The roots of Auxiliary equation are √6 and -√6.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex (h, k) is always in the format of "x-" so if we have a positive h value for the vertex, it would be written as "x-(h)" and if we have a negative h value for the vertex, it would be written as "x-(-h)" which is the same as "x+h". Since our sign inside the absolute value symbols is negative, the h value for the the vertex is 9. The k value is always what's outside the absolute value symbols, including the sign. Ours is a positive 7. Thus the vertex is (9, 7).

We observe that, the sequence is symmetric and all the terms are perfect squares:

This is neither arithmetic nor geometric.

The zero term is 16 and the fourth term is 0 so the nth term would be:

Answer:

a)  Neither

b)  t(n) = n² - 8n + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

An Arithmetic Sequence has a constant difference between each consecutive term.

A Geometric Sequence has a constant ratio (multiplier) between each consecutive term.

As the sequence has neither a constant difference or a constant ratio, the sequence is neither arithmetic or geometric.

Work out the differences between the terms until the differences are the same:

First differences

[tex]16 \underset{-7}{\longrightarrow} 9 \underset{-5}{\longrightarrow} 4 \underset{-3}{\longrightarrow} 1 \underset{-1}{\longrightarrow} 0 \underset{+1}{\longrightarrow} 1 \underset{+3}{\longrightarrow} 4[/tex]

Second differences

[tex]-7 \underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -5 \underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -3\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} -1\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} 1\underset{+2}{\longrightarrow} 3[/tex]

As the second differences are the same, the sequence is quadratic and will contain an n² term.  The coefficient of n² is always half of the second difference.  Therefore, the coefficient of n² = 1.

Write out the numbers in the sequence n² and determine the operation that takes n² to the given sequence:

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-8} n&0& 1& 2&3 &4 &5 &6 \\\cline{1-8}n^2 &0& 1& 4& 9&16 & 25&36 \\\cline{1-8} \sf operation&+16& +8&+0&-8&-16&-24&-32\\\cline{1-8} \sf sequence & 16&9 &4 & 1& 0& 1& 4\\\cline{1-8}\end{array}[/tex]

As the operation is not constant, work out the differences between the operations:

[tex]16\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} 8\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} 0\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -8\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -16\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -24\underset{-8}{\longrightarrow} -32[/tex]

As the differences are the same, the second operation in the sequence is -8n.  Write out the numbers in the sequence with both operations and and determine the operation that takes (n² - 8n) to the given sequence:

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-8} n&0& 1& 2&3 &4 &5 &6 \\\cline{1-8}n^2 -8n&-0&-7&-12&-15&-16&-15&-12\\\cline{1-8}\sf operation &+16&+16&+16&+16&+16&+16&+16\\\cline{1-8} \sf sequence & 16&9 &4 & 1& 0& 1& 4\\\cline{1-8}\end{array}[/tex]

As the operation is constant, the final operation in the sequence is +16.

So the equation for the nth term is:

[tex]\implies t(n)=n^2-8n+16[/tex]

Note that in the above scenario, the original dimensions of the piece of metal that is rectangular are:

Let x equal the width of the box and x + 15 equal the length of the box.  

Subtract 6 (the amount cut out) from both of these to get the following terms: (x+9) and (x-6).  

These are the length and width of the box respectively.  We also know that the height of the box is 3.  Plugging these into the formula for the volume of a box gives you:

3(x+9)(x-6)=858

If the above is expanded, we have:

3x²+9x-162=858

Subtract 858 from both sides to make the quadratic equation equal zero.  Plug the a, b and c coefficients into the quadratic formula (or factor) to find x.

3x²+9x-162- 858 = 0

⇒ 3x²+9x -1020= 0

At the stage we solve for x:

3x2+9x−1020 = 0

Factor left side of the equation.

3(x−17)(x+20)=0

Set factors equal to 0.

x−17=0 or x+20=0

x=17 or x=−20

We can't get a negative side, so the answer that makes sense is x =17 recall that the metal is 15 inches longer than its width.

So if the Width is x and the Lenght is x +15

Then Width is 17 while the length is 17 + 15 = 32inces.

Thus the original dimensions of the metal are:

Length: 32 Inches

Width: 15 Inches

Answer:Well, we already see that the number of girls is greater than the number of boys, to find the result of girls, just do the division that is 30:2= 15 and boys is 30:3= 10

i hope i have helped you

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

8 boys, 22 girls

To solve, you must isolate the variable. This means moving the variable and it's coefficient to the other side of the equation with only the same variable on the same side with all the constants on the other side.

If you multiply, divide, add, subtract, square root, exponent both sides of the equation by the same value, that end value stays the same.

Q)

Lets set the amount of boys to x.

The amount of girls is 3x-2 as the amount of boy is x.

Set up an equation.

x+3x-2 = 30

30 is the amount of members.

Add 2 on both sides.

x+3x+2-2=30+2

Simplify by combining like terms.

4x = 32

Divide 8 on both sides.

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{32}{4}[/tex]

x = 8

There are 8 boys in the class.

Plug back into the equation or subtract from 30 to solve for the amount of girls.

30 - 8 = 22

8(3) - 2 = 22

The correct rule of the transformation is,

The rectangular box dimensions are 21m ,12m and 10m.

What is volume of the rectangular box?

The area of the base times the height of the rectangular prism equals the volume of the object. As a result, the formula for a rectangular prism's volume is given. A rectangular prism's volume is equal to its length, width, and height in cubic units.

Here the dimensions of a box is 2x+5 , x+4 and x+2 meters and volume of the box is 2520 [tex]m^3[/tex].

Volume of rectangular box = w×h×l [tex]unit^3[/tex]

=> 2520 = (2x+5)(x+4)(x+2)

=> 2520 = [tex](2x^2+13x+20)(x+2)[/tex]

=> 2520 = [tex]2x^3+4x^2+26x+13x^2+20x+40[/tex]

=> [tex]2x^3-16x^2+33x^2-264x+310x-2480=0[/tex]

=> [tex]2x^2(x-8)+33x(x-8)+310(x-8)=0[/tex]

=> [tex](x-8)(2x^2+33x+310)=0[/tex]

Here x-8=0 and [tex]2x^2+33x+310=0[/tex]

Then x=8 and x ∈ R.

Now the dimensions 2x+5=2(8)+5=16+5=21m.

=> x+4 = 8+4=12 m.

=> x+2= 8+2 = 10m.

Hence the rectangular box dimensions are 21m ,12m and 10m.

By evaluating the quadratic equation, we will see that the values of the expressions are:

f(-1) + f(4) = 27

f(-1) - f(4) =  -35

Here we need to work with the quadratic function:

f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 1

First, we want to find the value of the expression:

f(-1) + f(4)

To get that, we need to evaluate the quadratic equation:

f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 6*(-1) + 1

f(-1) = 1 - 6 + 1 = -4

f(4) = 4^2 + 6*4 + 1

f(4) = 16 + 24 + 1 = 31

Then the first expression is:

f(-1) + f(4) = -4 + 31 = 27

The second expression is:

The exact ratio of of the volume of the cone that is occupied by the sphere is 4/(1+√2)³.

What is a cone?

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that narrows smoothly from a flat base (typically circular base) to a point called the apex or vertex (which creates an axis to the centre of base).

Given that the height and radius of the cone is the same.

Assume that the radius of the cone is x.

Thus the slant height of the cone is √(x² + x²) = x√2.

Assume the radius of the sphere is r.

△OEC and △BDC are similar triangles according to AAA rule.

Thus, BD/OE =BC/OC

x/r = x√2/(x -r)

Cross multiply:

x(x - r) = xr√2

x² - rx = xr√2

x² = xr√2 + rx

rx( 1+√2) = x²

r = x²/[x( 1+√2)]

r = x/ (1+√2)

The volume of the sphere is 4/3 ∏ r³ = 4/3 ∏ [ x/ (1+√2)]³

The volume of the cone is 1/3 ∏r²h =  1/3 ∏x³

The surface area of the capsule is calculated by adding the surface area of the cylinder and the surface area of the hemispherical bowl.

A hemispherical bowl is a type of bowl with a rounded bottom that is shaped like half of a sphere. It is often used in laboratories, kitchens, and dining rooms. The bowl’s curved surface prevents the contents from spilling, which makes it an ideal choice for mixing, swirling, and scooping. Additionally, the bowl’s shape makes it look aesthetically pleasing, so it can be used as a decorative piece as well.

The surface area of the cylinder = 2πr2 + 2πrh

Where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

The radius of the cylinder = 12 cm

The height of the cylinder = 16 cm

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder = 2π(12)2 + 2π(12)(16) = 1536π cm2

The surface area of the hemispherical bowl = 2πr2

Where r is the radius of the hemispherical bowl.

The radius of the hemispherical bowl = 12 cm

Therefore, the surface area of the hemispherical bowl = 2π(12)2 = 144π cm2

The total surface area of the capsule = 1536π cm2 + 144π cm2 = 1680π cm2

Two positive numbers whose product is 192 and whose sum is a minimum are; 8√3 and 8√3.

The correct option is (D).

Minima is the minimum value of a function in given domain.

First Order Derivative Test

Let f be the function defined in an open interval I and f be continuous at critical point c in I such that f’(c) = 0.

If f’(x) changes sign from negative to positive as x increases through point c, then c is the point of local minima. And the f(c) is the minimum value.

Given,

Product of two positive numbers = 192

Sum should be minimum

Let x be the first positive number and y be the other positive number. So, the equation would be

x . y = 192

⇒ y = 192/x       --------(a)

Let S be the sum of the two positive numbers.

S = x + y

substituting value of y in terms of x from equation(a)

S = x + 192/x

⇒ S = x + 192 . x⁻¹

Differentiating with respect to x

S'(x) = 1 + (-1)192x⁻²

S'(x) = 1 - 192/x²

S'(x) = (x² - 192)/x²

To determine the minimum S, equating first derivative of S with respect to x to zero.

S'(x) = 0

(x²-192)/x² = 0

x² - 192 = 0

x² = 192

x = ±√192

Rejecting negative root, since the numbers are positive

x = √192

Substituting value of x in equation (a)

y = 192/√192

y = √192

x and y can be written as

x = √192 = 8√3

y = √192 = 8√3

We are given;

Current population of city of rock hill = 70000

Rate at which people move into  city of rock hill = 100 people per month

Rate at which people move out of city of rock hill = 150 people per month

Net average increase a month = 100 - 150 = -50 people per month

Current population of City of Greenville = 61000

Rate at which people move into  City of Greenville = 200 people per month

If the number of months it will take for both cities to have the same population is x, then it means that;

70000 - 50x = 61000 + 200x

Rearrange to get;

200x + 50x = 70000 - 61000

250x = 9000

x = 9000/250

x = 36 months
