If $$\\log_{0.4}(x-2)$$>$$\\log_{0.16}(x-2)$$, then $$x$$ lies in which of the following intervals?

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

Let $$t=x-2$$ with $$t$$>$$0.$$

Rewrite bases:

$$0.4=\\frac{2}{5},\\quad 0.16=\\frac{4}{25}=\\left(\\frac{2}{5}\\right)^2.$$

So:

$$\\log_{0.4}(t)=\\log_{2/5}(t),\\quad \\log_{0.16}(t)=\\log_{(2/5)^2}(t).$$

Use change of base:

$$\\log_{(2/5)^2}(t)=\\frac{\\log_{2/5}(t)}{2}.$$

So inequality becomes:

$$\\log_{2/5}(t)$$>$$\\frac{1}{2}\\log_{2/5}(t).$$

Multiply both sides by $$2$$:

$$2\\log_{2/5}(t)$$>$$\\log_{2/5}(t).$$

So:

$$\\log_{2/5}(t)$$>$$0.$$

Since base $$\\frac{2}{5}$$<$$1$$, the logarithm is decreasing, so:

$$0$$<$$t$$<$$1.$$

Thus:

$$0$$<$$x-2$$<$$1.$$

So:

$$2$$<$$x$$<$$3.$$

The quadratic function $$C(x)=x^2-12x+500$$ opens upward, so its minimum occurs at the vertex.

Find the solution set for the rational inequality $$\\frac{x-1}{x+3}$$ < $$2.$$

Start with the inequality:

$$\\frac{x-1}{x+3}$$ < $$2$$

Move everything to one side:

$$\\frac{x-1}{x+3}-2$$ < $$0$$

Combine into one fraction:

$$\\frac{x-1-2(x+3)}{x+3}$$ < $$0$$

Simplify the numerator:

$$\\frac{-x-7}{x+3}$$ < $$0$$

Factor out $$-1$$:

$$-\\frac{x+7}{x+3}$$ < $$0$$

Multiply both sides by $$-1$$ and reverse the inequality:

Critical values:

$$x=-7,\\quad x=-3$$

Test the intervals.

For $$x$$ < $$-7,$$ the expression is positive.

For $$-7$$ < $$x$$ < $$-3,$$ the expression is negative.

For $$x$$ > $$-3,$$ the expression is positive.

Also, $$x=-3$$ is not in the domain.

From $$x=-4$$ to $$x=-2$$:

$$f(-4)=3.1$$ > $$0$$

There is a sign change, so there must be a zero in: $$(-4,-2)$$

Let:

Factor:

Since $$u=x^2\\ge0,$$ only $$u=1$$ gives real solutions.

A box with an open top is made from a rectangular sheet of cardboard measuring $$10$$ inches by $$20$$ inches by cutting out squares of side length $$x$$ from each corner and folding up the sides. What value of $$x$$ maximizes the volume?

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

The volume is:

$$V(x)=x(20-2x)(10-2x).$$

Expand:

$$V(x)=x(200-60x+4x^2)$$

$$V(x)=200x-60x^2+4x^3.$$

Differentiate:

$$V'(x)=200-120x+12x^2.$$

Set the derivative equal to zero:

$$200-120x+12x^2=0.$$

Divide by $$4$$:

$$50-30x+3x^2=0.$$

Rewrite:

$$3x^2-30x+50=0.$$

Use the quadratic formula:

$$x=\\frac{30\\pm\\sqrt{900-600}}{6}$$

$$x=\\frac{30\\pm\\sqrt{300}}{6}$$

$$x=\\frac{30\\pm10\\sqrt{3}}{6}$$

$$x=\\frac{15\\pm5\\sqrt{3}}{3}.$$

Approximate the two solutions:

$$x\\approx2.11$$

$$x\\approx7.89.$$

Because the box requires:

$$20-2x$$ > $$0$$ and $$10-2x$$>$$0$$

we must have:

$$0$$<$$x$$<$$5$$

So, the only valid critical point is:

$$x=\\frac{15-5\\sqrt{3}}{3}\\approx2.11.$$

Final answer: $$2.11$$

Given the rectangular coordinates $$(-3,3\\sqrt{3})$$, find the polar coordinates.

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

Use:

$$r=\\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.$$

Substitute:

$$r=\\sqrt{(-3)^2+(3\\sqrt{3})^2}$$

$$r=\\sqrt{9+27}$$

$$r=\\sqrt{36}=6.$$

Now find the angle.

Since:

$$x=-3$$<$$0$$ and $$y=3\\sqrt{3}$$>$$0,$$ the point is in Quadrant II.

Use the reference angle:

$$\\tan\\theta=\\frac{y}{x}=\\frac{3\\sqrt{3}}{-3}=-\\sqrt{3}.$$

The reference angle is: $$\\frac{\\pi}{3}.$$

In Quadrant II, the angle is:

$$\\pi-\\frac{\\pi}{3}=\\frac{2\\pi}{3}.$$

So the polar coordinates are:

$$\\left(6,\\frac{2\\pi}{3}\\right).$$

Final answer: $$\\left(6,\\frac{2\\pi}{3}\\right)$$
