I'm going to assume that your function is f(x) = 1 + x^2    (NOT x2).

I suspect you're trying to estimate the "area under the curve of f(x) = 1 + x^2.  You need to use this or a similar description to explain what you're doing.

Also, you need to specify whether you want "left end points" or "right end points" or "midpoints."  Again I must assume you want one or the other (and will assume that you meant "left end points").  

First, let's address the case n=3.  You must graph f(x) = 1 + x^2 between -1 and +1.     We will find the "lower sum," using "left end points."  The 3 x-values are {-1, -1/3, 1/3}.  Evaluate the function f(x) = 1 + x^2 at these 3 x-values.  Keep in mind that the interval width is 2/3.
The function (y) values are {0, 2/3, 4/3}.

Sorry, Michael, but I must stop here and await clarification from you regarding what you've been told to do in this problem.  Otherwise too much guessing (regarding what you meant) is necessary.  Please review the original problem and ensure that you have copied it exactly as presented, and also please verify whether this problem does indeed involve estimating areas under curves between starting and ending x-values.

Find dy/dx if f(x) = (x + 8)^3x.
vlabodo [156]
This is quite a complex problem. I wrote out a really nice solution but I can't work out how to put it on the website as the app is very poorly made. Still, I'll just have to type it all in...

Okay so you need to use a technique called logarithmic differentiation. It seems quite unnatural to start with but the result is very impressive.

Let y = (x+8)^(3x)

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(y) = ln((x+8)^(3x))

By laws of logarithms, this can be rearranged:

ln(y) = 3xln(x+8)

Next, differentiate both sides. By implicit differentiation:

d/dx(ln(y)) = 1/y dy/dx

The right hand side is harder to differentiate. Using the substitution u = 3x and v = ln(x+8):

d/dx(3xln(x+8)) = d/dx(uv)

du/dx = 3

Finding dv/dx is harder, and involves the chain rule. Let a = x+ 8:

v = ln(a)
da/dx = 1
dv/da = 1/a

By chain rule:

dv/dx = dv/da * da/dx = 1/a = 1/(x+8)

Finally, use the product rule:

d/dx(uv) = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

This overall produces the equation:

1/y * dy/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

We want to solve for dy/dx, achievable by multiplying both sides by y:

dy/dx = y(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Since we know y = (x+8)^(3x):

dy/dx = ((x+8)^(3x))(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Neatening this up a bit, we factorise out 3/(x+8):

dy/dx = (3(x+8)^(3x-1))(x + (x+8)ln(x+8))

Well wasn't that a marathon? It's a nightmare typing that in, I hope you can follow all the steps.

I hope this helped you :)

Which of the following statements is true?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

e. All of these statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is true because an experiment is actually the process by which an observation is made. Consider rolling a die. It is called an experiment because we observe which side of the die lands facing upwards and that number is noted.

The second statement is also true because a simple event is the one which can not be further decomposed into an event. (Compound events can be decomposed into simple events).

The third statement is also true that an event is the collection of one or more simple events. An event can contain either simple events of compound events which are basically a combination of two or more simple events.

Hence, we can say that <u>all the statements are true</u>.

A large spherical balloon is being deflated
artcher [175]

The formula for volume of a sphere is V = 4 /3 x π x r3 (cubed).

The original radius of the balloon is 10 ft, so when we plug that value into the equation we get 4188.79. When the balloon deflated, the new radius was 5 ft, so the new volume is 523.6. The question asks how much volume was lost, so we need to subtract 4188.79 - 523.6 and get approximately 3665.

Hope this helps! I hate taking usa test prep quizzes too haha.
