When an integer is subtracted from 2 times the next consecutive odd integer, the difference is 1. Find the value of the greater integer.

f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 15x - 36 is the equation of a degree 3 polynomial (in factored form) with the given zeros of f(x) are − 3 , 4 , − 3 assuming that the leading coefficient is 1. This can be obtained by formula of polynomial function.

⇒ f(x) =  a(x - r₁)(x - r₂)(x - r₃)

where a is the leading coefficient

Here in the question it is given that,

By using the formula of polynomial function we get,

⇒ f(x) =  a(x - r₁)(x - r₂)(x - r₃)

⇒ f(x) = 1(x - (-3))(x - (4))(x - (-3))

⇒ f(x) = 1(x + 3)(x - 4)(x + 3)

⇒ f(x) = (x + 3)(x² - x - 12)

⇒ f(x) = x³ - x² - 12x + 3x² - 3x - 36

⇒ f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 15x - 36

Hence f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 15x - 36 is the equation of a degree 3 polynomial (in factored form) with the given zeros of f(x): − 3 , 4 , − 3 assuming that the leading coefficient is 1.

The limit does not exist. There are infinitely many infinite discontinuities at [tex]x=n\pi[/tex], where [tex]n\in\Bbb N[/tex]. The function oscillates wildly between negative and positive infinity.

Since [tex]a,b,c[/tex] are in geometric progression, if [tex]r[/tex] is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then

[tex]a=a[/tex]

[tex]b = ar[/tex]

[tex]c=ar^2[/tex]

Since [tex]a,b,c[/tex] are also in arithmetic progression, if [tex]d[/tex] is the common difference between consecutive terms, then

[tex]a = a[/tex]

[tex]b = a + d \implies d = b-a[/tex]

[tex]c = b + d = a + 2d \implies c = a + 2(b-a) = 2b-a[/tex]

Given that [tex]abc=27[/tex], we have

[tex]abc = a\cdot ar\cdot ar^2 = (ar)^3 = 27 \implies ar = 3 \implies a = \dfrac3r[/tex]

[tex]b = \dfrac3r \cdot r = 3[/tex]

[tex]c = \dfrac3r \cdot r^2 = 3r[/tex]

It follows that

[tex]c = 2b-a \iff 3r = 6 - \dfrac3r[/tex]

Solve for [tex]r[/tex].

[tex]3r - 6 + \dfrac3r = 0[/tex]

[tex]3r^2 - 6r + 3 = 0[/tex]

[tex]r^2 - 2r + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex](r-1)^2 = 0[/tex]

If the length of hypotenuse is 95 m ,perpendicular is 57 m then the length of missing leg is 76m.

Given that the length of hypotenuse is 95 m ,the length of perpendicular is 57 m.

We are required to find the length of base or missing leg.

The given triangle is a right angled triangle. We can easily find out the length of the base of the triangle by using pythagoras theorem.

If a kite is flying 95 ft. off the ground, and its string is pulled taut. The angle of elevation of the kite is 59 degrees. Then the length of the string will be 110.8 ft.

Given information constitutes the following,

The distance of the flying kite from the ground, length AB (refer the figure) = 95 ft.

The angle of elevation of the kite, ∠ACB = 59°

We have to find the length of the string, that is the length AC. For that, we can apply Trigonometry as shown in the next steps of the solution.

In ΔABC, as shown in the attached figure,

Answer:

x = 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x

7/4 x -2  = -5x +1

Add 5x to each side

7/4 x -2+5x  = -5x +1+5x

7/4 x  + 5x -2  = 1

Get a common denominator for the x terms

7/4x  +20/4x -2 = 1

Add 2 to each side

27/4 x -2+2 = 1+2

27/4 x = 3

Multiply each side by 4

27/4 x *4 = 3*4

27x = 12

Divide each side by 27

27x/27 = 12/27

x = 12/27

Simplify

Due to length restrictions, we kindly invite to check the explanation herein for further details of the hyperbola.

Herein we have an hyperbola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and the major semiaxis length is in the y-direction. By analytical geometry, we know that eccentricities of hyperbolae are greater than 1.

a) The formula for eccentricity is:

e = √(a² + b²) / a      (1)

Where:

If we know that a = 4 and b = 3, then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is:

e = √(4² + 3²) / 4

e = 5 / 4

b) The coordinates of the two vertices of the hyperbola are:

V(x, y) = (h, k ± a)      (2)

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola.

V₁ (x, y) = (0, 4), V₂ (x, y) = (0, - 4)

The coordinates of the foci of the hyperbola are:

F(x, y) = (h, k ± c), where c = √(a² + b²).     (3)

c = √(4² + 3²)

c = 5

F₁ (x, y) = (0, 5), F₂ (x, y) = (0, - 5)

The equations of the asymptotes of the hyperbola are:

y = ± (a / b) · x

y = ± (4 / 3) · x      (4)

And the equations of the directrices of the hyperbola are:

y = k ± (2 · a - c)

y = 0 ± (8 - 5)

y = ± 3     (5)

The graph is presented in the image attached below.

c) The parametric equations for the hyperbola are the following formulae:

y = ± a · cosh t   →   y = ± 4 · cosh t      (6)

x = b · sinh t   →   x = 3 · sinh t     (7)

d) First, we determine the slopes of the two tangent lines by implicit differentiation:

m = (16 · x) / (9 · y)

m = (16 · 2.3) / [9 · (± 4.807)]

m = ± 0.851

Second, we find the intercept of each tangent line:

(x, y) = (2, 4.807)

b = 4.807 - 0.851 · 2

b = 3.105

y = 0.851 · x + 3.105      (8)

(x, y) = (2, - 4.807)

b = - 4.807 - (- 0.851) · 2

b = - 3.105

y = - 0.851 · x - 3.105      (9)

e) The definite integral of the arc length of the hyperbola is presented below:

[tex]s = \int\limits^{2}_{1} {\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dt} \right)^{2}}} \, dt[/tex]

If we know that dx / dt = a² · sinh² t and dy / dt = b² · cosh² t, then the definite integral for the arc length is:

[tex]s = \int\limits^2_1 {\sqrt{a^{2}\cdot \sinh ^{2}t +b^{2}\cdot \cosh^{2}t}} \, dt[/tex]      (10)

f) We apply the following substitutions on (1): x = r · cos θ, y = r · sin θ. Then, we have the polar form by algebraic handling:

r(θ) = (a · b) / (b² · sin² θ - a² · cos² θ)     (11)

From the question, we are to determine the measure of angle 1 and the measure of angle 2

The given diagram is a kite and the diagonals intersect at right angles

Thus,

m ∠2 + 28° + 90° = 180°

m ∠2 = 180° - 28° - 90°

m ∠2 = 62°

Hence, the measure of angle 2 is 62°

For the measure of angle 1

Consider ΔADB

ΔADB is an isosceles triangle

Thus,

In the triangle, m ∠D = m ∠B

Then, we can write that

m ∠1 + 62° + 90° = 180°

m ∠1 = 180° - 62° - 90°

m ∠1 = 28°

∴ The measure of angle 1 is 28°

As per the unitary method, Mrs. Smith's current weight is 121 pounds and 3 ounces.

To find Mrs. Smith's current weight, we need to add the weight she gained over the last two months to her initial weight. First, we will convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions for easier calculations.

1½ pounds can be written as (2 * 1) + 1/2 = 3/2 pounds.

1/4 pound remains as it is.

Now, let's add the weight gained in the last two months:

3/2 pounds + 1/4 pound = (3/2) + (1/4) = (6/4) + (1/4) = 7/4 pounds.

Next, we add the total weight gained to Mrs. Smith's initial weight:

120 pounds + 7/4 pounds = (120 * 4/4) + (7/4) = (480/4) + (7/4) = 487/4 pounds.

Answer:

23.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of HJ in triangle GHJ, create three equations using the given information, then solve simultaneously.

Equation 1

HJ is two inches longer than GH:

⇒ HJ = GH + 2

Equation 2

GJ is 17 inches shorter than the sum of HJ and GH:

⇒ GJ + 17 = HJ + GH

Equation 3

The perimeter of ΔGHJ is 73 inches:

⇒ HJ + GH + GJ = 73

Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2 and isolate GJ:

⇒ GJ + 17 = GH + 2 + GH

⇒ GJ + 17 = 2GH + 2

⇒ GJ = 2GH - 15

Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 3 and isolate GJ:

⇒ GH + 2 + GH + GJ = 73

⇒ 2GH + GJ = 71

⇒ GJ = 71 - 2GH

Equate the two equations where GJ is the subject and solve for GH:

⇒ 2GH - 15 = 71 - 2GH

⇒ 4GH = 86

⇒ GH = 21.5

Substitute the found value of GH into Equation 1 and solve for HJ:

⇒ HJ = 21.5 + 2

⇒ HJ = 23.5

Answer:

9π m ≈ 28.27m

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a right cylinder is given by the formula

πr²h where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder(which is a circle), h is the height of the cylinder

Circumference of base of cylinder is given by the formula 2πr

Given,

2πr = 4m

r = 2/π m

Volume given as 36 m³

So πr²h = 36
π (2/π)² h = 36

π x 4/π² h = 36

(4/π) h = 36

h = 36π/4 = 9π ≈ 28.27m

Answer:

The shortest piece is the first piece and it is 14 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three unknowns so we need 3 equations.

Let x = the length of the first piece

Let y = the length of the second piece

Let z = the length of the third piece.

x + y + z = 74            y = 2x          z = y + 4

There are a number of ways to solve this.  I am going to plug in 2x for y into the first and the third equation to get:

x + y + z = 74

x + 2x + z = 74 Combine the x terms

3x + z = 74

Next, I am going to substitute 2x in for y in the third equation above.

z = y + 4

z = 2x + 4  I am going to put both variable on the left side of the equation

z - 2x = 4

I can know take the two bold equations that I have above and solve for the either x or z.  I am going to solve for z.  I need one of the equation to have a z and the other equation to have -z so that they will cancel one another out.  I am going to multiple z - 2x = 4 all the way through by -1 to get:

z - 2x = 4

-1(z - 2x) = 4(-1)

-z +2x = -4  

I am going to rearrange 3x + z = 74 so that the z term is first and add it to -z + 2x = -4

z + 3x = 74

-z + 2x = -4

      5x = 70 divide both sides by 5

x = 14  This is the length of the first piece.

y = 2x

y = 2(14) = 28

y = 28 This is the length of the second piece.

z = y+4

z = 28 + 4 = 32

or

x + y + z = 74

14 + 28 + z = 74

42 + z = 74  Subtract 42 from both sides.

z = 32

the area of the minor segment is 0. 29 cm^2

From the information given, we have the following parameters;

It is important to note the formula for area of a sector is given as;

Area = πr² + θ/360° - 1/ 2 r² sin θ

The value for π = 3.142

θ = 30°

Now, let's substitute the values

Area = 3. 142 × 5² × 30/ 360 - 1/ 2 × 5² × sin 30

Find the difference

Area = 3. 142 × 25 × 1/ 12 - 1/ 2 × 25 × 1/2

Multiply through

Area = 6. 54 - 6. 25

Area = 0. 29 cm^2

The area of the minor segment is given as 0. 29 cm^2

Thus, the area of the minor segment is 0. 29 cm^2
