Answer: x = 7

-----------------------------------------

Angle STU is 15x. This is the exterior angle on the right side of the triangle
Subtract this from 180 to get angle RTS

angle RTS = 180 - (angle STU)
angle RTS = 180 - 15x

Focus solely on triangle RTS. If needed, erase the portion that extends out toward point U
If we focus on the triangle only, then angle R = angle T since they are the base angles of the isosceles triangle. We know that triangle RST is isosceles since RS = ST is given to us.

Because angle R = angle T, we know
angle R = 180-15x
angle T = 180-15x
and we also know
angle S = 4x+2
since that's given as well

Add up the three angles and set that sum equal to 180. Then solve for x
R+S+T = 180
(180-15x)+(4x+2)+(180-15x) = 180
(-15x+4x-15x) + (180+2+180) = 180
-26x + 362 = 180
-26x + 362-362 = 180-362
-26x = -182
-26x/(-26) = -182/(-26)
x = 7

The tangents to the curve with equation y = x^3-3x at the points A and B with x coordinates −1 and 4 respectively meet at the po

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$\displaystyle C=\left(\frac{26}{9}, 2\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the tangent lines of Points A and B.

Differentiate the equation:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2-3$

Point A has an <em>x-</em>coordinate of -1. Hence, the slope of its tangent line is:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=-1}=3(-1)^2-3=0$

Find the <em>y-</em>coordinate of Point A using the original equation:

$y(-1)=(-1)^3-3(-1)=2$

Hence, Point A is (-1, 2).

Thus, the tangent line at Point A is:

$y-2=0(x-(-1))$

Simplify:

$y=2$

Point B has an <em>x-</em>coordinate of 4. Hence, the slope of its tangent line is:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=4}=3(4)^2-3=45$

Find the <em>y-</em>coordinate of Point B:

$y(4)=(4)^3-3(4)=52$

Thus, Point B is at (4, 52).

So, the tangent line at Point B is:

$y-52=45(x-4)$

Simplify:

$y=45x-128$

Point C occurs at the intersections of the tangent lines of Points A and B. Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for <em>x: </em>

$2=45x-128$

We acquire:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{26}{9}$

Since one of our equations is <em>y</em> = 2, the <em>y-</em>coordinate is 2.

Hence, Point C is:

$\displaystyle C=\left(\frac{26}{9}, 2\right)$

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

x= -2-√11. or. x= -2 + √11

Step-by-step explanation:

solving quadratic equation by completing the square

x^2+4x-7=0

x^2+4x=7

x^2+4x + (4/2)^2=7 + (4/2)^2 ( adding (1/2 coefficient of x)^2 on both sides

x^2+4x + 4=7 + 4

x^2+4x + 4=11. factorize(x^2+4x + 4) into (x + 2)^2

(x + 2)^2=11

√(x + 2)^2= + - √11

x + 2 = + - √11

there are two different solution .

x + 2 = -√11. or x + 2 = + √11.

x= -2-√11. or. x= -2 + √11.
