Let a,b,c be positive real numbers. Prove the inequality

[tex]\dfrac{(a+b)^2}{c} +\dfrac{c^2}{a} \geq 4b.[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

If a,b,c are positive real numbers, the inequality [tex]\frac{(a+b)^{2} }{c} +\frac{c^{2} }a[/tex] [tex]\geq 4b[/tex] is not correct because it gives the value a³+2a²b+ab²≥4abc

How to find the solution set of an inequality?

Inequality is a mathematical statement showing that two quantities are not equal.

The given inequality is [tex]\frac{(a+b)^{2} }{c}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{c^{2} }{a}[/tex][tex]\geq[/tex]4abc

Simplifying the inequality we have [tex]\frac{(a+b)(a+b)}{c}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{c^{2} }{a }[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex]4b

This implies that: [tex]\frac{a^{2}+ab+ab+b^{2} }{c}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{c^{2} }{a}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 4b

Taking the LCM,

[tex]\frac{a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} }{c}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{c^{2} }{a}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex]4b

Simplifying further

[tex]\frac{a^{3}+2a^{2}b+ab^{2}+c^{3} }{ac}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex]4b

The expression gives that: a³+2a²b+ab²≥4abc

Comparing the values of a,b,c on both sides of the inequality,  the inequality is wrong.

Does the volume of a cone increase more when you double the height of the original or when you double its radius? Explain why.

Answers

The volume of a cone increase more when you double the height of the original or when you double its radius. This is true.

What is a cone?

A cone is a shape formed by connecting a common point, known as the apex or vertex, to all the points of a circular base with a set of line segments. The height of the cone is the distance from the vertex to the base.

A cone always contains a right angle. To solve for the volume of a cone, we need to get the radius of the cone and its height. radius is the line from the center of the circle of the cone going to the edge of the circle. height is the measurement of the cone from its pointy tip going downward.

The volume of a cone is 1/3πr²h, so if you double the radius the volume would quadruple. So, when the height is doubled, the volume is also doubled.

Using the graph given, the rate of change from hour 4 to hour 7 is: -20.

How to Find the Rate of Change of a Graph?

The rate of change of a relationship that is represented on a graph is determined using the formula below:

Rate of change = f(b) - f(a) / b - a.

Given the graph above, we are asked to find the rate of change between the interval x = 4 to x = 7:

a = 4

f(a) = f(4) = 120

b = 7

f(b) = f(7) = 60

Plug in the values:

Rate of change = f(b) - f(a) / b - a = (60 - 120) / (7 - 4)

= -60/3

What is a slope?

Slope is determined by dividing the vertical change by the horizontal change between two distinct points on a line.

It is defined as the difference in y coordinate divided by the difference in x coordinate between two distinct points on the line.

A line's slope is a number that describes both its direction and its steepness. Slope is a measure of change or a constant rate of change between two points.

As a result, from the options given, slope is not a line segment connecting two points, but rather the change in a line segment between two points.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Show your work:

(It should look something like this)

6370                                                                                                                              x   30

First: 0 x 0 = 0 (so you put):

      0

(everything else times 0 just equals 0 so you'd get this):

Next: 3 x 7 = 21 (so you put):

0000

 1 10

(add the number you carried to 9: giving you 11 so you also have to carry a 1 again)

(the first number: 0 of 110 goes under the third 0 of 0000)

(the spacing is just to make sure that the placement is correct: the first 1: of 110 goes under the first 0 of 0000)

Next: 3 x 6 = 18 (so you put):

1 2

6370                                                                                                                              x   30

  0000

191 10

(you add the 1 that you carried to 18 to give you 19)

(again: I only moved the zeros over so that the placement is correct)

Next: Now you add(this is why the placement of the numbers is important):

1 2

6370                                                                                                                              x   30

     0000

+ 191 10

  191,100

(you will put imaginary zeros over 19 because you know that there is already nothing there. You will also add an imaginary zero under the last zero that is hanging there because you know there is nothing there either.)

Answers

Using the exponential function T = 18 + 68e^(-t/8), the initial temperature is 86°C, the time the temperature will reach 35°C is 11.1 minutes

Exponential Function

An exponential function is a mathematical function in the form f (x) = ax, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.

An exponential function is defined by the formula f(x) = aˣ, where the input variable x occurs as an exponent. The exponential curve depends on the exponential function and it depends on the value of the x.

The exponential function is an important mathematical function which is of the form f(x) = aˣ

In the question given, the exponential function given shows an exponential decay

T = 18 + 68e^(-t/8)

a) The initial temperature when the tea was poured would be (t = 0)

T = 18 + 68e^(-0/8)

T = 16 + 68 = 86°C

b) The temperature of the tea at 35°C

35 = 18 + 68e^(-t / 8)

T = 11.1

c) The reason why the the tea will never reach 15°C is because there's no solution for the expression.

Since 2009 the number of smartphones shipped from manufacturers to stores around the world has increased exponentially. The growth from 2009 through 2015 can be modeled using the function G (t) = 174 . 1.67^t where t is the number of years singe 2009 and G (t) is measured in millions of smartphones.

Use this information and your knowledge of exponential and logistic growth to explore the mathematical concepts in the questions below.

Answers

The y-intercept indicates that 174 million smartphones were shipped to stores in 2009. This implies that after two years, in 2011, smartphone manufacturers shipped 500 million smartphones to stores worldwide.

Since 2009 the number of smartphones shipped from manufacturers to stores around the world has increased exponentially.

What is the exponential function?

The mathematical expression f(x)=exp or ex denotes the exponential function. The word, unless specifically stated differently, normally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, though it can be extended to the complex numbers or adapted to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

The growth from 2009 through 2015 can be modeled using the function G(t) = 174 * 1.67^t where t is the number of years since 2009 and G(t) is measured in millions of smartphones.

The required graph of the exponential function G(t) has been attached below

Now, finding the y-intercept

G(t) = 174· 1.67^t...(i)

Substitute the value of t = 0 in the above function,

G(t) = 174* 1.67⁰

G(t) = 174(1)

G(t) = 174

The meaning of the y-intercept is that 174 million smartphones are being shipped to stores in years 2009.

Substitute the value of G(t) =500 in the exponential function(i),

500 = 174 * 1.67^t

500/174 = 1.67^t

2.8735 = 1.67^t

In(2.8735 ) = t In (1.67)

t = In (2.8735 ) / In (1.67

t = 2.05827 ≈ 2

Hence, This means after 2 years i.e. in 2011, smartphone manufacturers were shipping 500 million smartphones to stores around the world.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine oo, the number of outfits Christopher can purchase while staying within his budget.

Answers

The required inequality for number of outfit is n ≤  6.3  and Christopher can purchase 6 biking outfits.

What is inequality?

Inequality shows relation between two expression which are not equal to each others.

Given that,

Maximum amount that Christopher can spend = $780.

The price of new bicycle = $446.45.

Also, Christopher buys 2 bicycle reflectors for $16.82 each.

And a pair of bike gloves for $24.60.

Let Christopher buys n outfits.

The price of 1 outfit is $43.70.

The price of n outfits = $43.70n

Since,  Price of 1 bicycle reflectors = $16.82

Price of 2 reflectors = $16.82 x 2 = $33.64

The inequality to determine the number of outfits can be written as,

43.70n + 446.45 + 24.60 + 33.64 ≤ 780.

43.70n + 504.69 ≤ 780.

43.70n ≤ 780 - 504.69

43.70n  ≤ 275.31

n ≤  6.3

First, divide by 35 on both sides to isolate 1 multiple of z.

[tex]35z > 34\\\overline{\ 35\ } \ \ \ \: \overline{35}[/tex]

[tex]z > \dfrac{34}{35}[/tex]

See the attached image for a graph.

The values of z stop at an open circle at the point 34/35.

Point P was rotated about the origin (0, 0) by - 15°.
