SuicideFuel Math thread problem (official)

[Sneir]

First, x needs to be nonnegative. Let u = the cube root of x. Then sqrt(1 + u^3) = u^2 - 1. Squaring both sides yields that 1 + u^3 = u^4 - 2u^2 + 1 -- i.e., u^4 - u^3 - 2u^2 = 0, so u = 0 or 0 = u^2 - u - 2 = (u - 2)(u + 1). Since u = 0 would imply x = 0, which is evidently a spurious solution, either u = 2 or u = -1. However, u = -1 would mean that x = -1, so u = 2 AKA x = 8 is the only solution.

The linear algebra book my uni used was in Flemish, so no. The following might be nice, however.

Let a be a positive real number. Set S(a) to the value of the enclosed area bounded by the y-axis, by the parabola =x² and by the tangent line to the same parabola at the point (a, a²).


Find the limit: lim→+∞ S(a)/(a³ + a² + a + 1)

Are those integers? If not.

Using the inequality of means, we can see it's 14,5 and 14,5.

If they are integers, then it's 14 and 15

Ye I figured it out but it was partly googles fault because it said X^2 can be negative but it cant

 

[DespressedCurryCel1]

14.5?

I never learned this stuff in school.

What method did you use and what’s the value for y

 

[Ahnfeltia]

Find the lowest value of |x - w |, given that |x| = 12 and | w - 3 - 4i| = 5

w = 10(3 + 4i)/5 & x = 12(3 + 4i)/5 & |x - w| = 2|3 + 4i|/5 = 2

 

[Ahnfeltia]

Two numbers have a sum of 29 and a product that is a maximum. Determine the two numbers and the maximum product.

While @trying to ascend is right, here's an easy way to see it.

We want to find a & b such that a + b = 90 and a*b is as large as possible. Since a + b = 29, we'll cleverly introduce a new variable c as follows: a = 14.5 + c & b = 14.5 - c. Evidently a + b still equals 29. However, a*b = (14.5 + c)(14.5 - c) = 210.25 - c^2. Since c^2 cannot be negative, the largest value for a*b is achieved when c^2 = 0, i.e., c = 0.

 

[trying to ascend]

w = 10(3 + 4i)/5 & x = 12(3 + 4i)/5 & |x - w| = 2|3 + 4i|/5 = 2

Correct

 

[DespressedCurryCel1]

(n/n)n * 2 = 29

n + n = 29

No Y is -14.5 XD

 

[Ahnfeltia]

What is the method one uses in this kind of problem?

We want to find a & b such that a + b = 90 and a*b is as large as possible. Since a + b = 29, we'll cleverly introduce a new variable c as follows: a = 14.5 + c & b = 14.5 - c. Evidently a + b still equals 29. However, a*b = (14.5 + c)(14.5 - c) = 210.25 - c^2. Since c^2 cannot be negative, the largest value for a*b is achieved when c^2 = 0, i.e., c = 0.

There's probably a positive correlation.

I take it the given expression needs to be simplified? Since x^2 - 6x + 9 = (x - 3)^2, the expression is readily seen to simplify to 4(x - 3) - 3 = 4x - 15.

What is the maximum total area that
450 cm of string can enclose if it is used
to form the perimeters of two adjoining
rectangles as shown?

I live in Canada as well.

Two numbers have a difference of
13 and a product that is a minimum.
Determine the two numbers and the
minimum product.

So let x be the first number and 13+x be the second number
You would have x(13+x)= 13x + x^2
This is a upward parabola so you find the minimum value.
Use the equation -b/2a to find the the x-value of the min value, which is -13/2(2)= -6.5
Then sub the x-value into 13x+x^2, and you get -42.25 as the min product.

If it's joining two rectangles, then it would have 3 lengths and 4 widths, so the equation would be 3l + 4w = 450
Area would be l*2w, or 150-4/3w * 2w = 300w - 8/3w^2
x-value of max value is -300/(2(-8/3)) = 56.25
Max value and max perimeter is 8437.5.

@DespressedCurryCel1 if you know calculus, then find the derivative of 300w - 8/3w^2, which is 300-16/3w, then solve for w by setting the equation to 0, and you'll get 56.25, then sub it back into the original equation and you get your answer.
