Z varies directly as x^3 and inversely as y^3. if z=59 when x=8 and y=8, find Z if x=3 and y=4

1 answer:

8 0

$z=\dfrac{kx^3}{y^3}\\\\\\59=\dfrac{k\cdot 8^3}{8^3}\\k=59\\\\\\z=\dfrac{59x^3}{y^3}\\\\\\z=\dfrac{59\cdot 3^3}{4^3}=\dfrac{1593}{64}$

Answer:

$f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

$f(x)=\frac{4}{\sqrt x}$

And we want to find the derivative using the limit process.

The definition of a derivative as a limit is:

$\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Therefore, our derivative would be:

$\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{4}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{4}{\sqrt x}}{h}$

First of all, let's factor out a 4 from the numerator and place it in front of our limit:

$=\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{4(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x})}{h}$

Place the 4 in front:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h}$

Now, let's multiply everything by (√(x+h)(√(x))) to get rid of the fractions in the denominator. Therefore:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h}(\frac{\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x}{\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})$

Distribute:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{({\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h({\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})}$

Simplify: For the first term on the left, the √(x+h) cancels. For the term on the right, the (√(x)) cancel. Thus:

$=4 \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt x-(\sqrt{x+h})}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt{x}) }$

Now, multiply both sides by the conjugate of the numerator. In other words, multiply by (√x + √(x+h)). Thus:

$= 4\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt x-(\sqrt{x+h})}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt{x}) }(\frac{\sqrt x +\sqrt{x+h})}{\sqrt x +\sqrt{x+h})}$

The numerator will use the difference of two squares. Thus:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x-(x+h)}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Simplify the numerator:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x-x-h}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}\\=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-h}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Both the numerator and denominator have a h. Cancel them:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Now, substitute 0 for h. So:

$=4 ( \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x+0}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+0})})$

Simplify:

$=4( \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x})})$

(√x)(√x) is just x. (√x)+(√x) is just 2(√x). Therefore:

$=4( \frac{-1}{(x)(2\sqrt{x})})$

Multiply across:

$= \frac{-4}{(2x\sqrt{x})}$

Reduce. Change √x to x^(1/2). So:

$=-\frac{2}{x(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}$

Add the exponents:

$=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$

And we're done!

$f(x)=\frac{4}{\sqrt x}\\f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$

Points (0,0) and (3,3) lie on line k. What is the slope of the line perpendicular to k?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(0, 0) and (3, 3)

To find slope:

3-0/3-0 = 3/3 = 1

Since it's looking for the perpendicular slope, you just do the opposite of 1.

Which is -1.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

14 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 0.79x + 4.5

11.5 = 0.79x

x = 14.55 or 14

rounding down because it can't go over $16.

0.79(14) + 4.5 = $15.56
