The answer is C because 15 * 17 is 255 and its two yards arpart

Let w=width
then w-2=length
Area = w(w-2)=255
Solve for w
w^2-2w-255=0
(w-17)(w+15)=0
w=15 or w=17
Since w>length, reject w=15.
So width 17, length=15

Note: Double check if question actually says width is two yards longer than the length.

Find dy/dx if f(x) = (x + 8)^3x.
vlabodo [156]
This is quite a complex problem. I wrote out a really nice solution but I can't work out how to put it on the website as the app is very poorly made. Still, I'll just have to type it all in...

Okay so you need to use a technique called logarithmic differentiation. It seems quite unnatural to start with but the result is very impressive.

Let y = (x+8)^(3x)

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(y) = ln((x+8)^(3x))

By laws of logarithms, this can be rearranged:

ln(y) = 3xln(x+8)

Next, differentiate both sides. By implicit differentiation:

d/dx(ln(y)) = 1/y dy/dx

The right hand side is harder to differentiate. Using the substitution u = 3x and v = ln(x+8):

d/dx(3xln(x+8)) = d/dx(uv)

du/dx = 3

Finding dv/dx is harder, and involves the chain rule. Let a = x+ 8:

v = ln(a)
da/dx = 1
dv/da = 1/a

By chain rule:

dv/dx = dv/da * da/dx = 1/a = 1/(x+8)

Finally, use the product rule:

d/dx(uv) = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

This overall produces the equation:

1/y * dy/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

We want to solve for dy/dx, achievable by multiplying both sides by y:

dy/dx = y(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Since we know y = (x+8)^(3x):

dy/dx = ((x+8)^(3x))(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Neatening this up a bit, we factorise out 3/(x+8):

dy/dx = (3(x+8)^(3x-1))(x + (x+8)ln(x+8))

Well wasn't that a marathon? It's a nightmare typing that in, I hope you can follow all the steps.

I hope this helped you :)

Iago is interested in money. He has a collection of bills in his pocket. He finds that he has two fewer $20 bills than he does $
Colt1911 [192]

Let x be the number of $10 bills in Iago pocket.

1. If he has twice as many $1 bills as $10 bills, then he has (2x) $1 bills.

2. He has two fewer $20 bills than he does $10 bills, then he has (x-2) $20 bills.

3. He has three more $5 bills than $10 bills, then he has (x+3) $5 bills.

In total he has $160 that is x·10+2x·1+(x-2)·20+(x+3)·5.

Equate these two expressions and solve the equation:

x\cdot 10+2x\cdot 1+(x-2)\cdot 20+(x+3)\cdot 5=160,\\ \\10x+2x+20x-40+5x+15=160,\\ \\37x=160+25,\\ \\37x=185,\\ \\x=5.

Thus, he has

  • 5 bills for $10;
  • 10 bills for $1;
  • 3 bills for $20;
  • 8 bills for $5.
