Paper For Above instruction

The provided assignment encompasses several mathematical problems ranging from finding the domain of a function, performing algebraic operations, solving equations, and applying inverse variation concepts to real-world scenarios involving work rates, speed calculations, and weight modeling relative to Earth’s gravity. Each problem requires methodical approaches, such as simplifying expressions, applying algebraic properties, and utilizing formulas discussed in relevant mathematical sections. The following analysis systematically addresses each component, demonstrating the process and solutions while emphasizing important techniques like clearing fractions, set notation, and inverse proportionality.

Problem 1: Find the Domain of the Function

Without a specific function provided in the prompt, a general approach involves identifying all values of the variable for which the function is defined. For rational functions, the domain excludes values that make the denominator zero; for square roots or even roots, the radicand must be non-negative. For example, if the function were f(x) = 1/(x - 3), then the domain would be all real numbers except x = 3, written as {x | x ≠ 3}. Understanding the type of function is crucial in determining its domain accurately. If further details are supplied, specific solutions can be derived accordingly.

Problems 2-5: Operations and Simplification

The statement indicates performing indicated operations and simplifying, but specifics are absent. Typically, this involves algebraic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or composition of functions. For example, combining rational expressions, simplifying radicals, or simplifying algebraic fractions involves finding common denominators, canceling common factors, and applying algebraic identities. The key is systematically performing operations step-by-step and reducing expressions to simplest form.

Problems 6-7: Solving Equations and Checking Solutions

These problems ask to solve equations using the method of clearing fractions, as discussed in Section 6.5 of the text. The typical procedure involves multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) to clear fractions, then solving the resulting polynomial or algebraic equation. After obtaining solutions, substitution back into the original equation confirms their validity, accounting for any extraneous solutions introduced during multiplication. An example process:

  • Identify the LCD of the fractional parts
  • Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD
  • Simplify and solve the resulting equation
  • Check solutions by substituting back into the original equation

Problem 8: Work Rate Problem with Jack and Annie

When Jack and Annie paint together, their combined rate is 1 room per 6 hours, or 1/6 room per hour. Annie alone takes 9 hours, so her rate is 1/9 room per hour. Let Jack's rate be x rooms per hour. The sum of their rates is:

1/9 + x = 1/6

Subtracting 1/9 from both sides:

x = 1/6 - 1/9 = (3/18) - (2/18) = 1/18

Therefore, Jack can paint the room alone in 1 / (1/18) = 18 hours.

Problem 9: Speed Calculation Using Distance and Time

Let the speed of the bus be s mph. Then the speed of the car is s + 14 mph. The travel times are equal, so:

Time for car = Distance / Speed = 224 / (s + 14)

Time for bus = 175 / s

Set equal:

224 / (s + 14) = 175 / s

Cross-multiplied:

224s = 175(s + 14)

Expand:

224s = 175s + 2450

Subtract 175s:

49s = 2450

s = 2450 / 49 = 50

The bus travels at 50 mph, and the car’s speed is 50 + 14 = 64 mph.

Problem 10: Inverse Square Law and Weight Calculation

The weight (W) varies inversely as the square of the distance (d) from Earth's center:

W = k / d^2

Given at Earth’s surface (d = 4000 miles):

143 = k / 4000^2

Calculate k:

k = 143 × 4000^2

Find weight at 900 miles above surface:

Distance from Earth's center = 4000 + 900 = 4900 miles.

Calculate W:

W = k / 4900^2 = (143 × 4000^2) / 4900^2

Express as:

W = 143 × (4000 / 4900)^2

Calculate ratio: 4000 / 4900 ≈ 0.8163

Square this ratio: 0.8163^2 ≈ 0.6667

Estimate W:

W ≈ 143 × 0.6667 ≈ 95.33 pounds

Rounded to nearest pound: 95 pounds.

Conclusion

The comprehensive solutions involve algebraic procedures, formula applications, and understanding of inverse relationships. These methods are fundamental for solving diverse mathematical problems and are essential skills in advanced mathematics education.
