Chapter 1: Problem 54

Solve the inequality and write the solution set in interval notation. \(x^{4}(x-3) \leq 0\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution set in interval notation is \([0,3]\)

Step by step solution

01

Setting up the inequality

The given inequality is \(x^{4}(x-3) \leq 0\). Set the expression equal to zero; this gives \(x^{4}(x-3) = 0\).
02

Finding the zeroes or root points

Solve for x by setting each part of the equation = 0. We get the values of x as 0 and 3. These are the points where the expression on the left side changes its sign.
03

Test the intervals

The intervals we have are \(-\infty ,0\), \(0,3\) and \(3, \infty\). Now choose a test point from each interval, substitute it into the original inequality equation and check the sign. We take -1 for the first interval, 1 for the second interval, and 4 for the third interval. After substitution, we find that the signs for the first and third intervals are negative and for the second interval, it is positive.
04

Write the solution in interval notation

Since the inequality allows for the expression to be equal to 0, we know that the end points which are 0 and 3 are included in the solution. Thus, the solution to the inequality \(x^{4}(x-3) \leq 0\) in interval notation is \([0,3]\).

The daily amount \(I\) (in thousands of barrels) of crude oil imported to the United States from 1995 to 2005 can be modeled by \(I=428.2 t+6976, \quad 5 \leq t \leq 15\) where \(t\) represents the year, with \(t=5\) corresponding to 1995. (a) Use the model to find the year in which the amount of crude oil imported to the United States exceeded 12 million barrels a day. (b) Use the model to predict the year in which the amount of oil imported to the United States will exceed 14 million barrels a day.

Use a calculator to solve the inequality. (Round each number in your answer to two decimal places.) \(1.2 x^{2}+4.8 x+3.1<5.3\)

An overnight delivery service will not accept any package whose combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section) exceeds 126 inches. Suppose that you are sending a rectangular package that has square cross sections. If the length of the package is 66 inches, what is the maximum width of the sides of its square cross sections?

Solve the inequality. Then graph the solution set on the real number line. \(2 x^{3}-x^{4} \leq 0\)

You want to determine whether there is a relationship between an athlete's weight \(x\) (in pounds) and the athlete's maximum bench-press weight \(y\) (in pounds). An equation that models the data you obtained is \(y=1.4 x-39\) (a) Estimate the values of \(x\) that predict a maximum bench-press weight of at least 200 pounds. (b) Do you think an athlete's weight is a good indicator of the athlete's maximum bench-press weight? What other factors might influence an individual's bench-press weight?
