Explain why the square root of a number or variable can be either positive or negative.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, the answer is: it depends on what was printed in the problem. The principal square root symbol never has a negative output, so if the test maker printed that symbol, it’s restrictions have to be respected: all square roots then are positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16, because 4² = (−4)² = 16. Every nonnegative real number x has a unique nonnegative square root, called the principal square root, which is denoted by √(x), where the symbol √( ) is called the radical sign or radix.

Answer 2

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The square root could be positive or negative because multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number. The principal square root is the nonnegative number that when multiplied by itself equals a. The square root obtained using a calculator is the principal square root.

The sum of first four terms is a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960. if its first term is 2 find the common ratio .

Answers

If the sum of first four terms in a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960, then the sum of the first 8 terms is 990

We also know that a = 2

sum of first 4 terms

= 2(r^4 - 1)(r-1) = 30

r^4 - 1 = 15r - 15

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0

r = 1 works for the equation , but r = 1 would make all the terms of the

GP the same, so clearly not a solution

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0 , a bit of trial and error ....

(r-1)(r - 2)(r^2 + 3r + 7) = 0

so r = 2 or r = not real

check: sum(4) = 2(2^4 - 1)/(2-1) = 30 , as needed

so r = 2 , BUT it does not work for sum(8)

sum(8) = 2(2^8 - 1)(2-1) = 510 , not 990 as necessary according to your second part of the question.

check your question.

If y varies inversely as (x-3). If y = 5 when x =7 find y when x=5

Answers

Given that y varies inversely as (x-3) .When y is 5 x is 7 . We need to find out the value of y when x is 5 .

According to the Question ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow y \propto \dfrac{1}{x-3}\\\\\sf\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{k}{x-3}[/tex]

where k is a constant .

And ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow 5 =\dfrac{k}{7}\\[/tex]

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow k = 7*5 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\bf\longrightarrow k = 35[/tex]

Now , when x is 5 ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{k}{x-3} \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{35}{5-3}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow y=\dfrac{35}{2}\\ [/tex]

If f is an always positive, differentiable function and y = ln(f(sin x)), what is y’ when x=4 ?

Answers

Answer:

cos(4) f'(sin 4)/f(sin 4) is y' at x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't actually find the numerical value for this without more information.

We are given:

y=ln(f(sin x))

This is equivalent to

e^y=f(sin x)

Differentiate both sides:

y' e^y=cos(x) f'(sin x)

Divide both sides by e^y:

y' =cos(x) f'(sin x)/e^y

Rewrite in terms of x using that e^y=f(sin x):

y' =cos(x) f'(sin x)/f(sin x)

Now replace x with 4:

cos(4) f'(sin 4)/f(sin 4) is y' at x=4

Solution: Because the line is a dotted line. so print (-3, -1) and (3, 3) , (0, 0) are not the solution, so , answer is (0, 5) choice B.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

first way: (easier way)

Plot the points out, points in the blue region are solutions. points on the dotted line are not solutions since it is a dashed line.

(0,5 is in the blue region)

second way:

find the equation of the in-equality:

the line that divides solutions and non-solutions passes through 3,3 and -3,-1

y=mx+b

m=change in y/change in x = (-1-3)/(-3-3) = 2/3

y=2/3x+b

plug x=3, y=3 (from the point "3,3")

3=2/3*3+b

3=2+b

b=1

y=2/3x+1 is the solution of the line.

the in-equality is

y(?)2/3x+1

plug in -5,5, which is a solution (looking at the graph)

5>-7/3

so use >, and not <

y>2/3x+1 is the equation of the in-equality, now just plug the answer choices in to see that

x=0,y=5 is a solution

Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Current value of an item and divide it by the value from an earlier period. Subtract one and multiply the resulting number by 100 to give it a percentage representation.

ROC = (current value/previous value​ − 1) x 100

ROC = (1,000,000/1,250,000 - 1) x 100

ROC = (0.8 - 1) x 100

ROC = -0.2 x 100

ROC = -20

- BRAINLIEST answerer

Answer:

substitute the value you solve the variable for back into the original equation and see if the left and right sides of the equation are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say you have this equation:    

2x - 10 = 26

solve by first adding 10 to each side to get:

2x = 36

now divide each side by 2 to get:

x = 18

to check, substitute 18 in for 'x' in the original equation to see if the left side equals the right side of the equation:

2(18) - 10 = 26

36 - 10 = 26

26 = 26

we know our answer is correct

Notice the numbers decrease by 4 so

a2 = a1 -4

a3 = a2 -4

a4 =a3 -4

a5= a4-4

generalized we will have

how would I solve this??
logx^125 = -3​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, this is how I read it.

[tex]\log(x^{125})=-3[/tex]

Next, this is how logarithms work:

[tex]b^y=x\implies \log_b(x)=y[/tex]

In your equation, we have all 3 numbers:

b = 10 (implied)x = [tex]x^{125}[/tex]y = -3

With that information, you can convert the logarithm into "normal" form:

[tex]10^{-3}=x^{123}[/tex]

The negative power rule [tex]x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}[/tex] is also useful here.

Now, just solve for x:

[tex]x^{125}=\frac{1}{10^3}\\x^{125}=\frac{1}{1000}\\x=\sqrt[125]{\frac{1}{1000}}\\x=\frac{1}{\sqrt[125]{1000} }[/tex]

That's about as simplified as it gets, unless you want this:

[tex]x=\frac{1}{10^{\frac{3}{125}}}[/tex]

Thats 10^(3/125), numbers got very small.

I'm still not confident I understood the problem correctly, so let me know if I need to fix anything.
