An adventure sports club claims to take its hot air balloon to a height of 10,020 feet. The hot air balloon’s elevation is model

ed by the equation y = x5 − 6x4 + 3x3 − 18x2 + 180x, where x is the number of minutes since the balloon took off. In how many minutes will the hot air balloon reach an elevation of 1,080 feet?
A)4 minutues
B)5 minutes
C)6 minutes
D)7 minutes

The answer is

C) 6 minutes.For the solution, we will plug in the options for x and compute y for each; the correct answer will deliver y=1080 feet:

Examining option A:

y=1024-1536+192-288+720

$y=4^{5}-6*4^{4}+3 *4^{3}-18*4^{2} +180*4$

y=112 feet.

Next for option B:

y=3125-3750+375-450+900

$y=5^{5}-6*5^{4}+3 *5^{3}-18*5^{2} +180*5$

y=200 feet.

Applying option C:

y=7776-7776+648-648+1080

$y=6^{5}-6*6^{4}+3 *6^{3}-18*6^{2} +180*6$

y=1080 feet. Thus, in 6 minutes, the balloon will achieve an elevation of 1080 feet.

C, six minutes; perhaps it’s D, I’m not certain.

For $\fbox{\begin \\\math{x}=6\\\end{minispace}}$ the function $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ both yield the same result.

Detailed breakdown:

The functions involved are

$f(x)=-x^{2}+4x+12$

$g(x)=-x+6$

Step 1:

Insert $x=1$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(1)$ .

$f(1)=-1^{2} +4(1)+12\\f(1)=-1+4+12\\f(1)=15$

Insert $x=1$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(1)$ .

$g(1)=-1+6\\g(1)=5$

Step 2:

Insert $x=2$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(2)$ .

$f(2)=-2^{2} +4(2)+12\\f(2)=-4+8+12\\f(2)=16$

Substitute $x=2$ into $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(2)$ .

$g(2)=-2+6\\g(2)=4$

Step 3:

Replace $x=3$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(3)$ .

$f(3)=-3^{2} +4(3)+12\\f(3)=-9+12+12\\f(3)=15$

Also, replace $x=3$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(3)$ .

$g(3)=-3+6\\g(3)=3$

Step 4:

Insert $x=4$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(4)$ .

$f(4)=-4^{2} +4(4)+12\\f(4)=-16+16+12\\f(4)=12$

Also, replace $x=4$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(4)$ .

$g(4)=-4+6\\g(4)=2$

Step 5:

Insert $x=5$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(5)$ .

$f(5)=-5^{2} +4(5)+12\\f(5)=-25+20+12\\f(5)=7$

Replace $x=5$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(5)$ .

$g(5)=-5+6\\g(5)=1$

Step 6:

Insert $x=6$ into $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(6)$ .

$f(6)=-6^{2} +4(6)+12\\f(6)=-36+24+12\\f(6)=0$

Also, substitute $x=6$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(6)$ .

$g(6)=-6+6\\g(6)=0$

Step 7:

According to the provided condition $f(x)=g(x)$ .

(a). Insert $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ into the previously mentioned equation.

$-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6$

(b). Multiply through by $-1$ on both sides.

$x^{2} -4x-12=x-6$

(c). Move the term $x-6$ to the left side of the equation.

$x^{2} -4x-12-x+6=0\\x^{2} -5x-6=0$

(d). Divide the middle term so that its sum equals 5 and the product equals 6.

$x^{2} -(6-1)x-6=0\\x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\(x+1)(x-6)=0\\x=-1,6$

From the analysis above, it is noted that for $x=6$ both functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ yield the same outcome.

Using a direct approach:

$f(x)=g(x)\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +5x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +6x-x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow(x+1)(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow x=6,-1$

Explain why the following expression is false. |x| < -4

Zina [12379]

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative number is placed within a modulus function, the result will be positive. For instance, |-3| equals 3, |-6| equals 6, and |5| equals 5, etc.

A modulus function, expressed as |x|, is always positive unless x is zero, in which case it equals zero.

Consequently, |x| cannot be less than -4 because |x| is always non-negative. Thus, the statement is inaccurate.
