To solve this problem, we just need to change the described expression into a numerical one.

Our answer is 7(y-1).

This is because the difference of y and 1 refers to the operation of subtraction, and this shows us that we need to subtract 1 from the value that is represented by y. The fact that it says 7 times the difference of y and 1 shows us that we must multiply the quantity y-1 and 7 (meaning we must perform the subtraction between y and 1 before the multiplication with 7). This is what indicates to us that we need parentheses, which allow us to perform this operation first, outlined by the rules of PEMDAS referring to the order of operations.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following represents dy/dx when y = e-2x sec (3x)?

Sindrei [870]

Using the product rule, which states that (uv)' = u'v + uv':
If y = (e^-2x)(sec3x)
y' = (e^-2x)'(sec3x) + (e^-2x)(sec3x)'
y' = -2(e^-2x)(sec3x) + (e^-2x)(3 sec3x tan3x)
y' = 3(e^-2x)(sec3x tan3x) -2e^-2x (sec3x)

This matches choice B.

Help picture below problem 14

AlexFokin [52]

The Pythagorean theorem is the idea that the sum of the two legs which are both squared is equal to the hypotenuse's length squared.

*<em>look at the image I attached for a better explanation</em>

By looking at the picture, we are missing the leg's length, and by using the Pythagorean theorem, we get the equation

$?^2+6^2 = 10^2\\?^2 + 36 = 100\\?^2 = 64\\? = 8$
