Answer:

The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the equation</em>

  f(x) =  {x²                x  ≤ 2

            {ax³ + bx     x > 2  

* We need to find the values of a , b that make the function

 differentiable at x = 2

- <em>At first for f(x) to be continuous at x = 2, substitute x by two in the</em>

<em>  the two expressions and equate them</em>

∵ f(x) = x² at x ≤ 2 and f(x) = ax³ + bx at x > 2

∴ f(2) = (2)² = 4 ⇒ (1)

∴ f(2) = a(2)³ + b(2)

∴ f(2) = 8a + 2b ⇒ (2)

- Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

* <em>For f(x) to be differentiable when x = 2, the function must be </em>

<em>  continuous when x = 2 and the one-sided derivatives must be </em>

<em>  equal when x = 2</em>

# <u>Remember</u>: If f(x)=ax^{b} , then f'(x)=abx^{b-1}

 If f(x)=ax , then f'(x)=a

 If f(x)=a , then f'(x)=0

∵ f(x) = x²

∴ f'(x) = 2x

- Substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 2(2) = 4

∴ f'(2) = 4 ⇒ (4)

∵ f(x) = ax³ + bx

∴ f'(x) = 3ax² + b

- substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 3a(2)² + b

∴ f'(2) = 12a + b ⇒ (5)

- Equate (4) and (5)

∴ 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

* Now we have system of equations

 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

- Multiply equation (6) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -24 a - 2b = -8 ⇒ (7)

- Add equations (3) and (7)

∴ -16a = -4

- Divide both sides by -16

∴ a = \frac{1}{4}

- substitute the value of a in equation (6)

∴ 12(\frac{1}{4})+b=4

∴ 3 + b = 4

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ b = 1

* The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

HELP PLEASE THANK YOU! :) 50 POINTS !!!!!!!1
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:  0.88

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.

Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,

Total number of people = 50

Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19

Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16

Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2

Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5

Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)

= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4

Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44

⇒ Probability that this person likes tea = \frac{\text{ Total person who like to drink milk}}{\text{ Total number of people}} = \frac{44}{50} = 0.88

Pedro is building a playground in the shape of a right triangle. The base of the triangle is 18 yards. The height of the triangl
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

567 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area for 1 Triangular playground = 1/2 × Base × Height

The base of the triangle is 18 yards. The height of the triangle is 21 yards.

Hence:

= 1/2 × 18 yards × 21 yards

= 189 square yards

The area of the Triangular 3 playground is given as:

= 3 × 189 square yards

= 567 square yards
