answer:(1) The expressions for the functions are f(x) = x^2 + 2x and g(x) = -x^2 - 2x. (2) The range of the real number lambda is boxed{(-infty, 0]}.
question:Elena is planning to spend some money from her monthly allowance to buy several equallypriced books. She spends onethird of her money to buy half of the books. What fraction of her money will she have left after she buys all the books? **A)** ( frac{1}{4} ) **B)** ( frac{1}{3} ) **C)** ( frac{1}{2} ) **D)** ( frac{2}{3} ) **E)** ( frac{3}{4} )
answer:1. **Define Variables:** Let ( M ) represent the total amount of money Elena has. Let ( B ) represent the total cost of all the books she wants to buy. 2. **Establish Relationships:** According to the new problem setup, Elena uses one-third of her money to buy half of the books. This is mathematically expressed as: [ frac{1}{3}M = frac{1}{2}B ] 3. **Solve for Total Cost of Books:** To determine the total cost of all the books, rearrange the equation to solve for ( B ): [ B = 2 left(frac{1}{3}Mright) = frac{2}{3}M ] This means the total cost of all the books is ( frac{2}{3}M ). 4. **Calculate Remaining Money:** After buying all the books, the amount of money Elena has left is: [ M - frac{2}{3}M = frac{3}{3}M - frac{2}{3}M = frac{1}{3}M ] 5. **Conclusion:** The fraction of her money that Elena will have left after buying all the books is ( frac{1}{3} ). Therefore, the answer is ( frac{1{3}} ). The final answer is boxed{**B)** ( frac{1}{3} )}
question:Given triangle triangle ABC, where A, B, and C are the angles opposite to sides a, b, and c respectively. Additionally, c=frac{5}{2}, b=sqrt{6}, and 4a3sqrt{6}cos A=0. (1) Find the value of a; (2) If B=lambda A, find the value of lambda.
answer:(1) From the given conditions, we have c=frac{5}{2} and b=sqrt{6}. Using the formula 4a = 3sqrt{6}cos A = 3sqrt{6}left(frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}right), we can substitute the values of b and c to obtain 12a^2 + 80a - 147 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation, we find a=frac{3}{2} or a=-frac{49}{6} (neglected since the length cannot be negative). So, a=boxed{frac{3}{2}}. (2) From part (1), we have cos A = frac{4}{3sqrt{6}}cdotfrac{3}{2} = frac{sqrt{6}}{3}. Therefore, sin A = sqrt{1-cos^2 A} = frac{sqrt{3}}{3}. Now, using the double angle formula, we obtain cos 2A = cos^2 A - sin^2 A = frac{1}{3}. Since a=frac{3}{2}, c=frac{5}{2}, and b=sqrt{6}, we have cos B = frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} = frac{1}{3}. So, cos 2A = cos B. As c>b>a in triangle ABC, we can conclude that B=2A. Hence, lambda=boxed{2}.
question:What is the largest quotient that can be formed using two numbers chosen from the set {36, 6, 4, 3, 7, 9}? A) 3 B) 4 C) 7 D) 9 E) 36
answer:To find the largest quotient formed using two numbers from the set {-36, -6, -4, 3, 7, 9}, consider both maximizing the numerator and minimizing the denominator, while maintaining a positive quotient. 1. **Maximizing the Quotient**: - The largest quotient frac{a}{b} occurs where a is largest and b is the smallest positive value, or both a and b are negative with a large and b small in magnitude. 2. **Case 1: Both a and b are positive**: - Choose a = 9 (max positive number). - Choose b = 3 (min positive number but not the smallest absolute, which allows a higher ratio than using 7). - Compute frac{9}{3} = 3. 3. **Case 2: Both a and b are negative**: - Choose a = -36 (max in absolute among negatives). - Choose b = -4 (min in absolute among negatives but not the smallest overall, providing a larger ratio than using -6). - Compute frac{-36}{-4} = 9. 4. **Comparison and Conclusion**: - From Case 1, the quotient is 3. - From Case 2, the quotient is 9. - Therefore, the largest quotient is 9. Concluding, the largest quotient that can be formed using numbers from this revised set is 9. boxed{The correct answer is D) 9.}
