Answer:- There are 9 puppies in the shelter .

Explanation:-

Total dogs in the shelter=60

At the shelter 15% of the dogs are puppies.

Number of puppies=15% of total dogs

⇒Number of puppies $=\frac{15}{100}\times60$ ........[Simplify]

⇒Number of puppies $=9\ puppies$

Therefore, there are 9 puppies in the shelter .

What is the value of x, when -25(x - 4) = -55(x - 10)?

Murljashka [212]

-25(x-4)=-55(x-10)
-25x+100 = 55x-550 |+25x
100 = 80x-550 |+550
650 = 80x | /80
65/8 = x
x = 8 1/8

Consider the circle of radius 5 centered at (0, 0). Find an equation of the line tangent to the circle at the point (3, 4) in sl

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle of radius $5$ centered at $(0,0)$ is:

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 5^{2}$ .

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 25$ .

Differentiate implicitly with respect to $x$ to find the slope of tangents to this circle.

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[x^{2} + y^{2}] = \frac{d}{dx}[25]$

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^{2}) = 0$ .

Apply the power rule and the chain rule. Treat $y$ as a function of $x$ , $f(x)$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(f(x))^{2} = 0$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(2f(x)\cdot f^{\prime}(x)) = 0$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0$ .

Solve this equation for $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}$ .

The slope of the tangent to this circle at point $(3, 4)$ will thus equal

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{4}$ .

Apply the slope-point of a line in a cartesian plane:

$y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$ , where

$m$ is the gradient of this line, and
$(x_0, y_0)$ are the coordinates of a point on that line.

For the tangent line in this question:

$\displaystyle m = -\frac{3}{4}$ ,
$(x_0, y_0) = (3, 4)$ .

The equation of this tangent line will thus be:

$\displaystyle y - 4 = -\frac{3}{4} (x - 3)$ .

That simplifies to

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}$ .

If f(x) = 2x2 – 2, what is<br> X, what is f(-6)<br> give the right answer for a brilliant!

NARA [144]

Answer:

f(- 6) = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 6) , substitute x = - 6 into f(x)

f(- 6) = 2(- 6)² - 2 = 2(36) - 2 = 72 - 2 = 70
