Find the number of automobiles that must be produced to minimize the cost Tried to factor out the four then simpliy. Stuck. Help! 1 solutions Answer 212543 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2010-04-21 11:31:41 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The minimum is the C(x) value that is the smallest (ie it is the smallest cost value). This minimum occurs at the vertex (h,k) where In this case, and meaning that . In other words, if 2 thousand autos are produced, then the cost will be at a minimum. Simply plug this value into the function to get: which means that . So the minimum cost is 16 million dollars (when 2 thousand autos are manufactured). So the vertex is the point (2,16). What this means is that if we graph , the lowest point on the graph is (2,16)

Since 'x' is positive, this means that . Also, because we have two sides of length x+2, this means that the legs are x+2 units long leaving the hypotenuse to be 'x' units long. That's where the problem lies: the hypotenuse cannot be shorter than either leg. So either there's a typo, or something is missing.

Quadratic_Equations/294126: Please help me solve this problem. 2x^2-11x+12 1 solutions Answer 212182 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2010-04-19 20:25:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-12,-24 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*24 = 24 2*12 = 24 3*8 = 24 4*6 = 24 (-1)*(-24) = 24 (-2)*(-12) = 24 (-3)*(-8) = 24 (-4)*(-6) = 24 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 24 1+24=25 2 12 2+12=14 3 8 3+8=11 4 6 4+6=10 -1 -24 -1+(-24)=-25 -2 -12 -2+(-12)=-14 -3 -8 -3+(-8)=-11 -4 -6 -4+(-6)=-10 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

In triangle ABC angles A and B have the same measure while angle c is 9 degrees larger than each of the other two angles. Find the measure of angle C Please show work. Thanks 1 solutions Answer 212053 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2010-04-19 12:18:32 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hint: Let 'x' be the measure of angles A and B (since they are equal) and 'y' be the measure of angle C. Because "angle c is 9 degrees larger than each of the other two angles", we know that (just add 9 to the measure of 'x' to get 'y') Now recall that the three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. So this means that: angle A + angle B + angle C = 180 which then means that . From here, plug in to get and you can remove the parenthesis to get . I'll leave it to you to solve for 'x'. Once you have the value of 'x', plug it into to find 'y', which is the measure of angle C.

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/293740: Factor: tsquared+3t-10 1 solutions Answer 211967 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2010-04-18 22:21:18 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,5,10 -1,-2,-5,-10 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-10) = -10 2*(-5) = -10 (-1)*(10) = -10 (-2)*(5) = -10 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 -10 1+(-10)=-9 2 -5 2+(-5)=-3 -1 10 -1+10=9 -2 5 -2+5=3 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Hint: For any polar number in the form , where 'r' is the magnitude and 'x' is the angle, it can be converted into rectangular form using the following equations: 1) (this can be seen if you draw out a triangle with sides 'a', 'b', and hypotenuse 'r') 2) (again this can be seen with a drawing of the triangle) Note: since 'b' is the vertical side, this is the side opposite from the angle 'x' So in this case, and meaning that and . You'll then find that you'll have two equations and two unknowns which means that you can solve for both 'a' and 'b'.
