Answer:
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = 2548.17[/tex] [tex]V(100) = 10098.10[/tex] [tex]V(1000) = 999201.78[/tex]
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]V(x) = [C_1(x) + C_2(x)](H(x))[/tex]
[tex]C_1(x) = \frac{x}{x+1}[/tex]
[tex]C_1(x) = \frac{2}{x-3}[/tex]
[tex]H(x) = \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solving (a): Expression for V(x)
We have:
[tex]V(x) = [C_1(x) + C_2(x)](H(x))[/tex]
Substitute known values
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solving (b): Simplify V(x)
We have:
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solve the expression in bracket
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x*(x-3) + 2*(x+1)}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-3x + 2x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Factor out x
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x(x^2 - 9)}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * (x^2 - 9)[/tex]
Express as difference of two squares
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * (x- 3)(x + 3)[/tex]
Cancel out x - 3
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)}] *(x + 3)[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Solving (c): V(50), V(100), V(1000)
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Substitute 50 for x
[tex]V(50) = [\frac{(50^2-50+2)(50 + 3)}{(50 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = \frac{(2452)(53)}{(51)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = 2548.17[/tex]
Substitute 100 for x
[tex]V(100) = [\frac{(100^2-100+2)(100 + 3)}{(100 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(100) = \frac{9902)(103)}{(101)}[/tex]
[tex]V(100) = 10098.10[/tex]
Substitute 1000 for x
[tex]V(1000) = [\frac{(1000^2-1000+2)(1000 + 3)}{(1000 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(1000) = [\frac{(999002)(10003)}{(10001)}][/tex]
[tex]V(1000) = 999201.78[/tex]
Solving (d): V(x) = 3000, find x
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]3000 = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]3000(x + 1) = (x^2-x+2)(x + 3)[/tex]
Equate to 0
[tex](x^2-x+2)(x + 3)-3000(x + 1)=0[/tex]
Open brackets
[tex]x^3 - x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3000x - 3000 = 0[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]x^3 + 3x^2- x^2 + 2x - 3x - 3000x + 6 - 3000 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x^3 + x^2 -3001x -2994 = 0[/tex]
Solve using graphs (see attachment)
[tex]x = -54.783[/tex] or
[tex]x = -0.998[/tex] or
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
x can't be negative. So:
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
