PR =25, PQ=7, so QR = PR - PQ = 25-7 =18

SQ=2x+5, TQ=6

Here we use the chord intersection formula, which will give

PQ*QR = SQ*TQ

7*18 = 6(2x+5)

126 = 12x +30

Subtracting 30 from both sides

96 = 12x

Dividing both sides by 12

8=x

So the value of the x is 8 .

Describe two quantities that can be measured accurately by integers

myrzilka [38]

Since a quantity is a variable that could be described in terms of numbers, then the quantities that can be measured exactly be integers would be, say, the amount of houses to be supplied with power and the number of people in the household. A fraction could never be a possible amount, because a person and a house is counted as one whole.

Derivative of y= 2^(sin pi x)

laila [671]

Take log of both sides
$\ln y = \ln(2^{\sin \pi x})$
Use log property to get "x" out of the exponent
$\ln y = (\ln 2) (\sin \pi x)$
Differentiate
$\frac{dy}{y} = (\pi \ln 2)(cos \pi x) dx$
Move y to Right side (Note y = original expression)
$\frac{dy}{dx} = (\pi \ln 2) (\cos \pi x) 2^{\sin \pi x}$

In general, whenever you have a function in the form
$y = a^{f(x)}$
The derivative will be
$\frac{dy}{dx} = (\ln a) (f'(x))a^{f(x)}$
