Answer:

Base = x = 18ft

Height = x - 4 = 14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of A the triangle is given by the following equation:

1) A = (base * heigth)/(2)

From this problem, we know that

base = x and that the height is 4ft less than the base, so height = base - 4 = x - 4.

We also know that the area is 126ft², so A = 126 ft². Now we can replace these informations in equation 1).

126 = (x(x-4))/2

x² - 4x = 252

x² -4x - 252 = 0

The roots of this equation are x = 18 or x = -14. But we know that a triangle cannot have negative dimensions, so we use x = 18.

The base is x, so base = 18ft.

Height is 4ft less than the base, so height equals 18-4 = 14ft

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x(1-2lnx)}{x^{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question we refresh our knowledge of the quotient rule.

For a function f(x) express as a ratio of another functions u(x) and v(x) i.e

f(x)=\frac{u(x)}{v(x)}\\, the derivative is express as

\frac{df(x)}{dx}=\frac{v(x)\frac{du(x)}{dx}-u(x)\frac{dv(x)}{dx}}{v(x)^{2} }

from y=lnx/x^{2}

we assign u(x)=lnx and v(x)=x^2

and the derivatives

\frac{du(x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}\\\frac{dv(x)}{dx}=2x\\.

Note the expression used in determining the derivative of the logarithm function.it was obtain from the general expression of logarithm derivative i.e y=lnx\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}

If we substitute values into the quotient expression we arrive at

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(x^{2}*\frac{1}{x})-(2x*lnx)}{x^{4}}\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x-2xlnx}{x^{4}}\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x(1-2lnx)}{x^{4}}

If H is the center of the circle, find mGJI A 117.33 B 222.57 C 242.67 D 256.56
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

GJI = 242.67

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is 360 degrees

GI + GJI = 360

The arc length is the same as the angle when it is at the center

117.33 + GJI = 360

GJI = 360 - 117.33

GJI = 242.67
