MarkFL replied to a thread Two Pieces of Wire in Pre-Calculus
No, what we want is: A\left(W_1\right)+A\left(W_2\right)>5 A(x)+A(12-x)>5 Now, the arguments for the area function represent wire lengths,...

MarkFL replied to a thread Two Pieces of Wire in Pre-Calculus
Let's use x for the length of the sides of the square, so we have: P=4x A=x^2 Now, we want to replace x in the formula for the area with an...

I would look at a substitution like: u=\sqrt{x^2+4x+3}\implies dx=\frac{u}{x+2}\,du And the integral then becomes: I=\int\frac{1}{u^2+1}\,du

You are assuming x is positive when you do that. A better step is to subtract x/2 from both sides: \frac{2}{x}-\frac{x}{2}<0 Combine terms: ...

MarkFL replied to a thread Quadratic Inequality in Pre-Calculus
Yes, we have a parabola opening upwards, and given that it has two real roots, we should expect to find it to be negative in between its roots. :D
