For this problem, assume \(x\) is positive. a. Name three values of \(x\) for which \(\sqrt{x}\) is less than \(x\) . b. Name three values of \(x\) for which \(\sqrt{x}\) is greater than \(x\) . c. In general, how can you tell whether \(\sqrt{x}\) is greater than \(x ?\)
The diameter of the body of a Purkinje cell is \(8 \times 10^{-5} m\) a. If a microscope magnifies 1,000 times, what will be the scaled diameter, in meters, as viewed in the microscope? b. What is the scaled diameter, in centimeters, as viewed in the microscope?
Julia found three Web sites that sell 4-inch-square stickers of her favorite band’s logo. The three sites sell the stickers for different prices, and charge different amounts for shipping. Site \(1 :\) Stickers are 75 each; shipping is \(\$ 4\) for any size order. Site \(2 :\) Stickers are 60\(\phi\) each; shipping is \(\$ 5.50\) for any size order. Site \(3 :\) Stickers are \(\$ 1.25 ;\) shipping is included. a. For each site, write an equation to represent the charge \(C\) for ordering any number of stickers \(s\) b. Graph your three equations on axes like these. Label each graph with its site number. c. Use your graph to answer this question: If Julia wants to order 16 stickers, which site will charge her the least? d. Use your graph to answer this question: If Julia wants to order 10 stickers, which site will charge her the least?
Solve each equation. If it has no solution, write "no solution." $$ 5 \sqrt{x}=25 $$
Solve each equation. If it has no solution, write "no solution." $$ \sqrt{x+2}+8=1 $$
