Answer:

The solution to the equation is x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the equation:

2ˣ - 1 = 0

To solve it for x, let´s add 1 to both sides of the equation:

2ˣ = 1

Apply log to both sides of the equation

log(2ˣ) = log(1)

Apply logrithm property: log(2ˣ) = x log(2)

x log(2) = log(1)

x log(2) = 0

x = 0

The solution is x = 0

Let´s check the solution:

2ˣ - 1 = 0

x = 0

2⁰ - 1 = 0

1 - 1 = 0

0 = 0

The solution is correct!

Have a nice day!

The diameter of a circular tablecloth is 72 inches. Find the area and circumference. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi.

nalin [4]

Answer:

Part 1) The area is $A=4,069.44\ in^{2}$

Part 2) The circumference is $C=226.08\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area

we know that

The area of a circle (circular tablecloth) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=72/2=36\ in$ ------> the radius is half the diameter

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=(3.14)(36)^{2}$

$A=4,069.44\ in^{2}$

step 2

Find the circumference

we know that

The circumference of a circle (circular tablecloth) is equal to

$C=\pi D$

we have

$D=72\ in$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$C=(3.14)(72)$

$C=226.08\ in$

Greetings. As a beginner, I'm struggling a bit to learn calculus. May I know what is the derivative of x to the power 4 step by

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If you're just starting calculus, perhaps you're asking about using the definition of the derivative to differentiate $x^4$ .

We have

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x+h)^4 - x^4}h$

Expand the numerator using the binomial theorem, then simplify and compute the limit.

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x^4+4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4) - x^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} (4x^3 + 6hx^2 + 4h^2x + h^3) = \boxed{4x^3}$

In general, the derivative of a power function $f(x) = x^n$ is $\frac{df}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$ . (This is the aptly-named "power rule" for differentiation.)
