Let x be the number so we write the equation: $$\displaystyle{x}^{{2}}+{11}={60}$$
Solve for x. Subtract 11 from both sides: $$\displaystyle{x}^{{2}}+{11}-{11}={60}-{11}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}^{{2}}={49}$$
Use the square root property: $$\displaystyle{x}^{{2}}={a}\to{x}=\pm\sqrt{{a}}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}=\pm\sqrt{{49}}$$
x=+-7
-7 and 7

4.7 A multiprocessor with eight processors has 20attached tape drives. There is a large number of jobs submitted tothe system that each require a maximum of four tape drives tocomplete execution. Assume that each job starts running with onlythree tape drives for a long period before requiring the fourthtape drive for a short period toward the end of its operation. Alsoassume an endless supply of such jobs.
a) Assume the scheduler in the OS will not start a job unlessthere are four tape drives available. When a job is started, fourdrives are assigned immediately and are not released until the jobfinishes. What is the maximum number of jobs that can be inprogress at once? What is the maximum and minimum number of tapedrives that may be left idle as a result of this policy?

Consider the curves in the first quadrant that have equationsy=Aexp(7x), where A is a positive constant. Different valuesof A give different curves. The curves form a family,F. Let P=(6,6). Let C be the number of the family Fthat goes through P.
A. Let y=f(x) be the equation of C. Find f(x).
B. Find the slope at P of the tangent to C.
C. A curve D is a perpendicular to C at P. What is the slope of thetangent to D at the point P?
D. Give a formula g(y) for the slope at (x,y) of the member of Fthat goes through (x,y). The formula should not involve A orx.
