Answer:

 Speed they were traveling on the drive home = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Trip to relatives home:

   Speed = 55 mph

   Time taken = 2 1/2 hours = 2.5 hours

   Distance = Speed x Time taken = 55 x 2.5 = 137.5 miles.

Trip to drive home:

   Time taken = 2 1/2 hours + 15 minutes = 2 3/4 hours = 2.75 hours

   Distance  = 137.5 miles.

   Speed = Distance / Time = 137.5/2.75 = 50 mph

Speed they were traveling on the drive home = 50 mph

————————

You can actually use either the product rule or the chain rule for this one. Observe:

•  Method I:

y = cos² x

y = cos x · cos x


Differentiate it by applying the product rule:

\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{d}{dx}(cos\,x\cdot cos\,x)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{d}{dx}(cos\,x)\cdot cos\,x+cos\,x\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(cos\,x)}


The derivative of  cos x  is  – sin x. So you have

\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(-sin\,x)\cdot cos\,x+cos\,x\cdot (-sin\,x)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-sin\,x\cdot cos\,x-cos\,x\cdot sin\,x}


\therefore~~\boxed{\begin{array}{c}\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2\,sin\,x\cdot cos\,x}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

—————

•  Method II:

You can also treat  y  as a composite function:

\left\{\!
\begin{array}{l}
\mathsf{y=u^2}\\\\
\mathsf{u=cos\,x}
\end{array}
\right.


and then, differentiate  y  by applying the chain rule:

\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{dy}{du}\cdot \dfrac{du}{dx}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{d}{du}(u^2)\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(cos\,x)}


For that first derivative with respect to  u, just use the power rule, then you have

\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2u^{2-1}\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(cos\,x)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2u\cdot (-sin\,x)\qquad\quad (but~~u=cos\,x)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2\,cos\,x\cdot (-sin\,x)}


and then you get the same answer:

\therefore~~\boxed{\begin{array}{c}\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2\,sin\,x\cdot cos\,x}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark


I hope this helps. =)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 +5/12 = 19/24

common denominator is 24 for both of them so multiple 3/8 by 3 and 19/24 by 2

F two angles have the same vertex, then they are adjacent.
arlik [135]
Are you asking if it's true or false?
Because it's false, they are not necessarily adjacent.
