Find the derivative of f(x) = 6/x at x = -2. (2 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the definition of the derivative,

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{f(x) - f(-2)}{x - (-2)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{\dfrac6x + 3}{x + 2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{\dfrac{6+3x}x}{x + 2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{6+3x}{x(x + 2)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{3(x+2)}{x(x + 2)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f'(-2) = \lim_{x\to-2}\frac{3}{x} = \boxed{-\dfrac32}[/tex]

Answer: x³+8x²+11x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which polynomial has the roots of -5, -4, and 1, we want to first put them into an equation.

-5 is the same as x+5=0

-4 is the same as x+4=0

1 is the same as x-1=0

Now that we have the factors, we can multiply them together.

(x+5)(x+4)(x-1)                  [FOIL]

(x²+4x+5x+20)(x-1)          [combine like terms]

(x²+9x+20)(x-1)                 [FOIL]

x³-x²+9x²-9x+20x-20       [combine like terms]

x³+8x²+11x-20

Therefore, x³+8x²+11x-20 is the correct polynomial with those roots.

In the SuperLottery, three balls are drawn (at random) from ten white balls numbered from $1$ to $10$, and one SuperBall is drawn (at random) from ten red balls numbered from $11$ to $20$. When you buy a ticket, you choose three numbers from $1$ to $10,$ and one number from $11$ to $20$.

If the numbers on your ticket match the three white balls and the red SuperBall, then you win the jackpot. (You don't need to match the white balls in order). What is the probability that you win the jackpot?

Answers

This question is solved using probability concepts.

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.The order in which the balls are chosen don't matter, which means that the combinations formula is used to find the number of outcomes.

Doing this, we get that:

[tex]\frac{1}{1200}[/tex] probability that you win the jackpot.

------------------------------------------

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

----------------------------------------------------

Total outcomes:

3 white from a set of 10(numbered from $1 to $10).1 red from a set of 10(numbered from $11 to $20).

Thus:

[tex]T = C_{10,3}C_{10,1} = \frac{10!}{7!3!} \times \frac{10!}{1!9!} = 120 \times 10 = 1200[/tex]

Desired outcomes:

The correct balls, order does not matter, so only one outcome, that is, [tex]D = 1[/tex]

What is the probability that you win the jackpot?

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{1200}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{1200}[/tex] probability that you win the jackpot.

4x=44

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

let x year ago son age was 5 time his father age.

age of son before x year = 19-x

age of father before x year = 51-x

NOW

according to the question

5(19-x) =51-x

95-5x =51-x

95-51 = -X-5x

It costs 3 bowls and a jug 13.70, the jug costs $4.10 more that the bowl, how much does the jug cost-?

Thank u~!

Answers

Answer:

$6.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a bowl and a jug be $b and $j respectively.

3b +j= 13.70 -----(1)

j= b +4.10 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

3b +b +4.10= 13.70

4b +4.10= 13.70 (simplify)

4b= 13.70 -4.10 (-4.10 on both sides)

4b= 9.60

b= 9.60 ÷4 (÷4 on both sides)

b= 2.40

Substitute b= 2.40 into (2):

j= 2.40 +4.10

j= 6.50

Thus, the jug costs $6.50.

Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]6+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}\approx 15.17\:\mathrm{cm^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD consists of two triangles. By adding the area of the two triangles, we get the area of the entire quadrilateral.

Vertices A, B, and C form a right triangle with legs [tex]AB=3[/tex], [tex]BC=4[/tex], and [tex]AC=5[/tex]. The two legs, 3 and 4, represent the triangle's height and base, respectively.

The area of a triangle with base [tex]b[/tex] and height [tex]h[/tex] is given by [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]. Therefore, the area of this right triangle is:

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12=6\:\mathrm{cm^2}[/tex]

The other triangle is a bit trickier. Triangle [tex]\triangle ADC[/tex] is an isosceles triangles with sides 5, 5, and 4. To find its area, we can use Heron's Formula, given by:

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are three sides of the triangle and [tex]s[/tex] is the semi-perimeter ([tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]).

The semi-perimeter, [tex]s[/tex], is:

[tex]s=\frac{5+5+4}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the isosceles triangle is:

[tex]A=\sqrt{7(7-5)(7-5)(7-4)},\\A=\sqrt{7\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3},\\A=\sqrt{84}, \\A=2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}[/tex]

Thus, the area of the quadrilateral is:

[tex]6\:\mathrm{cm^2}+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}=\boxed{6+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: Using the angle formed by two chords theorem, angle X is equal to 1/2 times the sum of the degree measures of the two arcs.

The angle x will be equal to 128 degrees. The correct answer is option D.

What are the Angles of Intersecting Chords Theorem?

When two chords cross inside of a circle, the resulting angle's measure is equal to the product of the lengths of the arcs it intercepts and its vertical angle, divided by two.

The angle x will be calculated as below:-

Angle x = Sum of angles made by two intersecting chords / 2

Angle x = ( 54 + 202 ) / 2

Angle x  = ( 256 / 2 )

Angle x  = 128 degrees

Therefore, the angle x will be equal to 128 degrees. The correct answer is option D.

A Triangle with an area of 24 square feet has a side of length 10 feet. If all 3 sides are even integers, what is the perimeter of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

so, we don't know anything else about the triangle ?

ok, let's see.

the area of a triangle is (a side length) × (the height from that side to the opposite corner) / 2

At = 24 = side × height / 2

48 = side × height = 10 × height

height = 48/10 = 4.8 = 24/5

let's say that the height on our known side splits this side into 2 parts, p and q (p+q = 10).

we can calculate the triangle side on the right hand side of our know side by calling it a and using Pythagoras :

a² = height² + q² = (4.8)² + q² = 23.04 + q²

as all sides have to be even integers, a² has to be an even square number larger than 23.04.

and because p+q = 10, we know q must be smaller than 10, and therefore q² smaller than 100.

the only candidates for a² are therefore 36 and 64 (6² and 8²).

in a similar way this applies to the left hand triangle side b tool.

b² = height² + p² = 23.04 + p²

with the same restrictions and possible solutions as a².

we have the possibilities that a = b = 6 or 8, or a = 6 and b = 8 (or vice versa).

let's rule out a=b :

a=b wound also mean p=q=5

then

a² = 23.04 + 5² = 23.04 + 25 = 48.04, which is not an even square integer. therefore, this assumption is wrong.

so, the only possible solution is a = 6 and b = 8 (or vice versa, but it did not matter which is which, as we only need the perimeter, which would be the same either way).

proof :

36 = 23.04 + 12.96 = 23.04 + q²

=> q = 3.6 ft

64 = 23.04 + 40.96 = 23.04 + p²

=> p = 6.4 ft

p+q = 3.6 + 6.4 = 10 ft

perfect, it fits, this is the correct solution

so, the perimeter of the triangle is

10 + 6 + 8 = 24 ft
