X/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
x(x+1) = (x -2) (x + 5)
x^2 + x = x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10
x = 3x - 10
3x - x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5

answer is A
5

Use the definition of the derviative to compute the derivative of f(x)= 1- 7x^2 at the specific point x=2.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

$f'(x) = -28 \ at \ x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{f(2+h)) -f(2)}{h} \\\\f(2+h) = 1 - 7(2+h)^2 = 1 - 7(4 +h^2 +4h) = 1 - 28 - 7h^2 - 28h = - 7h^2 -28h - 27\\\\f(2) = 1 - 7(2^2) = 1 - 28 = -27\\\\f(2+h) - f(2) = -7h^2 - 28h - 27 - (-27) = -7h^2 -28h -27 + 27 = -7h^2 -28h\\\\f'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{-7h^2 - 28h}{h} \\\\$

$= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h(-7h -28)}{h}\\\\= \lim_{h \to 0} (-7h -28)}\\\\= -7 (0) - 28\\\\= -28$

I need help with #8. I need to use the quadratic formula. I have a calculator that is programmed for the quadratic formula so al

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.

The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:

138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)

Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...

x^2 -31x +238 = 0

For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.

For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.
