In isosceles pqr with base , pq = 2x + 3, and pr = 9x - 11. what is the value of x?

1 answer:

8 0

First, draw and label a rough sketch of an isosceles triangle. Now put in the values of pq=2x+3 and pr=9x-11

You know that the triangle is isosceles, therefore, the sides pq and pr are identical.

Now, make the equations equal to each other to find the value of x.

2x+3=9x-11
3+11=9x-2x
14=7x
14/7=x
2=x

Therefore the value of x=2.

Hope I helped :)

Hey there, hope I can help!

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Product\:Rule}: \left(f\cdot g\right)^'=f^'\cdot g+f\cdot g^'$
$f=x,\:g=\sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right)x \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}: \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx} \ \textgreater \ =\sqrt{u},\:\:u=x+6$
$\frac{d}{du}\left(\sqrt{u}\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+6\right)$

$\frac{d}{du}\left(\sqrt{u}\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt{a}=a^{\frac{1}{2}} \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{du}\left(u^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right) \ \textgreater \ 0$

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{u}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x+6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ Simplify$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{x+6}$
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$
$\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}: \sqrt{x+6}=\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1} \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}+\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1}$

$Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions$
$\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{x+2\sqrt{x+6}\sqrt{x+6}}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$\sqrt{x+6}\sqrt{x+6}=\:\left(x+6\right)^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}=\:\left(x+6\right)^1=\:x+6 \ \textgreater \ x+2\left(x+6\right)$
$\frac{x+2\left(x+6\right)}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$x+2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\cdot \:x+2\cdot \:6 \ \textgreater \ 2x+12 \ \textgreater \ x+2x+12$
$3x+12$

Therefore the derivative of the given equation is
$\frac{3x+12}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

9. Find the mean of the data set: 2, 3, 4, 5, 5

Leni [432]

Answer: Step 1 box= 19 (2+3+4+5+5)

Step 2 box= 3.8 (19 divided by 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

You add together the numbers to get 19, the you divide the number by five because you added 5 numbers together.

You had it just right on the bottom. Your equation was perfect. It doesn't matter if you get a decimal number.

Your answers are right too, I double checked.

Hope I was helpful.
