This is a parabola that opens downward, and the vertex (maximum point) will be at x=%28-b%29%2F%282a%29. In this case, vertex is at x=+%28-6%29%2F%28-2%29=3.

If x = 3, then y = -3^2 + 6*3= -9 + 18 = 9.

Maximum value is 9. Check it out with the graph:

Complex_Numbers/42031: Why does the Trichotomy Property not apply to all complex numbers?
Thank you

Answer 27165 by rapaljer(4667) About Me  on 2006-06-13 23:35:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because the complex number system does NOT have an order relationship. Notice that the real numbers can be arranged on a numberline, so they can be placed in ORDER. Therefore, when comparing real numbers, each number on a real numberline must be equal to, greater than, or less than any other number. Since complex numbers cannot be "arranged in order, there are no such comparisions, and the Trichotomy Property does not apply.

49x^2+9 = 42x

First set the equation equal to zero and place in descending powers of x:
49x^2 - 42x + 9 = 0

Factor it. (NOTE: It just happens to factor!!)
{7x - 3)(7x - 3) = 0

I think you may have an error in the equation. Your P(x) equation for profit is a parabola that opens upward, since the coefficient of x^2 is positive. A parabola that opens upward has a MAXIMUM, not a MINIMUM value. Whatever it is, to find the profit if 500 are sold, just substitute the 500 into the value of x in the formula and calculate it.

Length-and-distance/38695: I am needing a step-by-step process on how to convert kilometers to miles.

I think it is easiest to convert directly from km to miles. If you use the conversion of 1 km. = 0.62 miles, then 4690 km will be 4690 times what 1 km is. In other words, just multiply 4690 times 0.62, which gives you approximately 2908 miles.

Answer 24171 by rapaljer(4667) About Me  on 2006-05-20 09:57:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is an exponential equation, so you will have to take the log or ln of each side of the equation to convert it from an exponential equation to an ordinary linear equation. First subtract 9 from each side:
1.95%5Ex+=+31

Now, take the ln of each side. By the way, taking the log of each side works equally well and gives exactly the same answer!
+ln+1.95%5Ex+=+ln+31

By the third law of logarithms ln+M%5Ex+=+x+%2A+ln+M
x+%2Aln+1.95+=+ln+31

Divide each side by ln 1.95:
%28x%2Aln+1.95%29%2F%28ln+1.95%29+=+%28ln+31%29%2F%28ln+1.95%29+
x+=+%28ln+31%29%2F%28ln+1.95%29+ = 5.142 approximately.
Final answer rounded to nearest tenth = 5.1

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/37893: A circle has an inscribed right triangle having an altitude of 4 and an area of 28. What are the circumference and area of circle? (Inscribes means inside with vertex's touching the edsge of the circle)
1 solutions

Answer 24156 by rapaljer(4667) About Me  on 2006-05-19 22:27:02 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, then the legs of that right triangle will be the base and altitude of the triangle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle will be the diameter of the circle. To find the area and circumference of the circle, you need to find the diameter (and radius!) of the circle.
If altitude = 4 and area = 28, then
A=+%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah
28+=+%281%2F2%29%2A+4%2Ah
28=2h
h=+14

Next, Let d= diameter of the circle, which is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle. According to the Theorem of Pythagoras: a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2
4%5E2+%2B+14%5E2+=+d%5E2
16+%2B+196+=+d%5E2
212+=+d%5E2
d+=+sqrt%28212%29+=+2%2Asqrt%2853%29+

Remember that the radius is HALF of the diameter, so if r= the radius, then
r=+sqrt%2853%29+ and r%5E2+=+53

Area = A=+pi%2Ar%5E2=++pi%2A53+=+53%2Api square units.

Circumference = C+=+pi%2Ad=+pi%2A+2%2Asqrt%2853%29+=2%2Api%2Asqrt%2853%29+ units.

Answer 24154 by rapaljer(4667) About Me  on 2006-05-19 22:20:59 (Show Source):

The key is to factor the numerator! This is usually a tough factoring problem, but since the denominator has a factor of (x+6), you might just expect a factor of (x+6) in the numerator also. Otherwise, there won't be anything to do in this problem.

I'd start with 2x%5E2%2B11x-6+, and realize it has to start out
+%282x______%29%2A%28x_______%29+.

Expecting the factor of x+6 to show up here, I would next try:
+%282x______%29%2A%28x%2B6%29+.

Since the LAST term has to be a -6, this means that the blank space left in the previous step will have to be -1. Do you follow this?
+%282x-1%29%2A%28x%2B6%29+. Now, check the middle term: 12x - 1x = + 11x.

+%282x%5E2%2B11x-6%29%2F%28x%2B6%29
%28%282x-1%29%28x%2B6%29%29%2F%28x%2B6%29+

Divide out the x+6 factors, and you have a final answer of 2x-1.

Answer 24153 by rapaljer(4667) About Me  on 2006-05-19 22:12:28 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First I would add up the numbers given in the ratio:
2+5+7+10+20+50 = 94 shares.

The one who receives the least amount, therefore, received 2 shares out of a total of 94 shares of the total treasure, or 1%2F47th of the treasure.

Let x = total treasure, then
+%281%2F47%29%2Ax+=+14000

Multiply both sides by 47:
x+=+14000%2A47=658000 pounds = total weight of gold.

The "or =" just means to make the graph with a SOLID line, which means that the line itself is included.

In my opinion the easiest way to graph this is to use the intercepts method and graph the line with an "=" sign only. We can handle the ">" sign later:

4x+%2By=4
Let x = 0, then y=4.
Let y = 0, then 4x = 4, so x = 1. Graph these two points, and remember that if you have a POSITIVE Y-coefficient, the ">" or ">+" means to shade ABOVE the line. If you have a "<" or "<=" then it means to shade BELOW the line.

In this case you will have to graph with a SOLID line, and shade ABOVE the line. I don't know how to do this in algebra.com graphing so I'll graph the line, and YOU make it a SOLID LINE and SHADE ABOVE the line:

+x%2F%28x-2%29+%2B+%281-5x%29%2F%28x%5E2+-8x%2B12%29+

Since this is addition of two fractions, you must first find a common denominator. Begin by factoring the second denominator:
+x%2F%28x-2%29+%2B+%281-5x%29%2F%28%28x-2%29%2A%28x-6%29%29+

The LCD must have all factors of the denominators, and this will be (x-2)*(x-6). The second fraction already has the common denominator, but you will have to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the missing factor (x-6).

+%28x%28x-6%29%29%2F%28%28x-2%29%2A%28x-6%29%29+%2B%281-5x%29%2F%28%28x-2%29%2A%28x-6%29%29+

DON'T CANCEL ANYTHING --THESE ARE TERMS!!!

Denominators can NEVER be zero, so any value that makes a denominator equal zero is a restriction. In this case, the denominator is 4z-6.

Therefore, the denominator 4z-6 must not be zero.
Therefore, the forbidden value would be
4z-6=0

Add 6 to both sides:
4z=6

Divide both sides by 4:
%284z%29%2F4=6%2F4
z=+3%2F2 IS THE FORBIDDEN VALUE!!

Therefore the restriction on z is that Z must NOT equal 3%2F2.

The critical step here is FACTORING, and I mean FACTOR COMPLETELY!!

%28x%5E2+-+9x+%2B+14%29%2F%285x%5E2+-+20%29
%28%28x-7%29%2A%28x-2%29%29%2F%285%28x%5E2-4%29%29
%28%28x-7%29%2A%28x-2%29%29%2F%285%28x-2%29%2A%28x%2B2%29%29

Divide out the x-2 factor in the numerator and denominator, and this should be what is left:
%28x-7%29%2F%285%28x%2B2%29%29

+2%2F%285w%2B10%29+-+3%2F%282w-4%29+

Because this is a fraction subtraction, your first step must be to find a common denominator. To do this, you'll have to factor each denominator, and take ALL the factors of all the denominators for the LCD.
+2%2F%285%28w%2B2%29%29+-+3%2F%282%28w-2%29%29+

The LCD will have to have within it factors of 5%2A2%2A%28w%2B2%29%2A%28w-2%29+. To set up each fraction so it has the common denominator, you will have to multiply numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the factors 2(w-2), and the second fraction by the factors 5(w+2). It should look like this:


Now, the LCD becomes the denominator of the entire problem, and you subtract numerators:
+%284%28w-2%29-+15%28w%2B2%29%29%2F%2810%28w%2B2%29%2A%28w-2%29%29

In this last step, DON'T be tempted to divide anything out! These are TERMS! NEVER DIVIDE OUT TERMS!! Instead, multiply out the numerators, and combine like terms. This should be the answer you are looking for:
+%284w-8-+15w-30%29%2F%2810%28w%2B2%29%2A%28w-2%29%29
+%28-+11w-38%29%2F%2810%28w%2B2%29%2A%28w-2%29%29

Set up a ratio of Yes votes compared to Total votes cast. If the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 2, then there were 3 yes votes cast for every 5 total votes. Set up the following ratio:
%28Yes%29%2F%28Total%29+=+3%2F5+=+2124%2Fx

Now, since a%2Fb=c%2Fd means that ad=bc,
3%2F5+=+2124%2Fx means taht 3x+=+5%2A2124
3x+=+10620
x=3540 total votes cast.

For the graph of a parabola or a quadratic function, the line of symmetry is exactly halfway between the zeros, which are the x intercepts of the graph, which are the solutions to the corresponding quadratic equation in which y = 0. Is that what you were asking??

Why would you want to find a common denominator for a MULTIPLICATION problem??? Maybe the problem should be re-stated.
