Math Problem Statement

Multiple problems from algebra and quadratic equations.

Solution

Let's go through the problems from the image step by step.


6) h(x)=f(x)g(x)h(x) = f(x) - g(x)

Given:

  • f(x)=3x2+9x12f(x) = 3x^2 + 9x - 12
  • g(x)=3x2x7g(x) = 3x^2 - x - 7

Find h(x)h(x) and determine what it's divisible by.

Solution:

h(x)=f(x)g(x)h(x) = f(x) - g(x)

h(x)=(3x2+9x12)(3x2x7)h(x) = (3x^2 + 9x - 12) - (3x^2 - x - 7)

Simplifying:

h(x)=3x2+9x123x2+x+7h(x) = 3x^2 + 9x - 12 - 3x^2 + x + 7

h(x)=(9x+x)+(12+7)h(x) = (9x + x) + (-12 + 7)

h(x)=10x5h(x) = 10x - 5

Now, h(x)=10x5h(x) = 10x - 5, and we can factor this:

h(x)=5(2x1)h(x) = 5(2x - 1)

Thus, h(x)h(x) is always divisible by 5.

Answer: 5\boxed{5}


7) XY=(XY)2X \oplus Y = (X - Y)^2

We are asked to find 3(2)3 \oplus (-2).

Solution:

By the definition given, XY=(XY)2X \oplus Y = (X - Y)^2. Substituting the values:

3(2)=(3(2))23 \oplus (-2) = (3 - (-2))^2

3(2)=(3+2)2=52=253 \oplus (-2) = (3 + 2)^2 = 5^2 = 25

Answer: 25\boxed{25}


8) Sum of 5 consecutive odd integers greater than 20

We need to find the least possible outcome for the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers where all integers are greater than 20.

Solution:

The smallest odd integer greater than 20 is 21. The 5 consecutive odd integers starting from 21 are:

21,23,25,27,2921, 23, 25, 27, 29

Now, let's sum them:

21+23+25+27+29=12521 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 = 125

Thus, the least possible outcome is 125.

Answer: 125\boxed{125}


9) Rock band concert attendance

  • Year 1: Attendance is 25,000.
  • Year 2: Attendance is 5% lower than the first year.
  • Year 3: Attendance rises by 10% from the second year.

We need to calculate the attendance for the third year.

Solution:

  1. For Year 2, we calculate 5% lower than 25,000: Year 2 Attendance=25,000×(10.05)=25,000×0.95=23,750\text{Year 2 Attendance} = 25,000 \times (1 - 0.05) = 25,000 \times 0.95 = 23,750

  2. For Year 3, the attendance increases by 10% from Year 2: Year 3 Attendance=23,750×(1+0.10)=23,750×1.10=26,125\text{Year 3 Attendance} = 23,750 \times (1 + 0.10) = 23,750 \times 1.10 = 26,125

Thus, the attendance for the third year is 26,125.

Answer: 26,125\boxed{26,125}


10) Solve x2+7x=10x^2 + 7x = -10

We need to solve the quadratic equation x2+7x+10=0x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0.

Solution:

The equation can be factored as:

[ x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x +
