The triangles in the figure are similar. What is the length of CD?

Answer:

In steps

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABE ~ ΔACD

AB / AC = BE / CD

3 / 9 = 7 / CD

CD = (9 x 7) / 3 = 63 / 3 = 21

3. The curve C with equation y=f(x) is such that, dy/dx = 3x^2 + 4x +k
Andreas93 [3]

a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 4x + k \implies y = f(0) + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :

\displaystyle y = -2 + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt

\displaystyle y = -2 + (t^3+2t^2+kt)\bigg|_0^x

\displaystyle y = x^3+2x^2+kx - 2

Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

18 = 2^3 + 2\times2^2+2k - 2 \implies \boxed{k = 2}

Then the curve C has equation

\boxed{y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2}

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=a} = 3a^2 + 4a + 2

The slope of the given tangent line y=x-2 is 1. Solve for a :

3a^2 + 4a + 2 = 1 \implies 3a^2 + 4a + 1 = (3a+1)(a+1)=0 \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ or }a = -1

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).

Decide which of these points is correct:

x - 2 = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2 \implies x^3 + 2x^2 + x = x(x+1)^2=0 \implies x=0 \text{ or } x = -1

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).

How are rate of change and slope related for a linear relationship?
ale4655 [162]
Hello! In slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. M is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The rate of change and slope are interchangeable, therefore, they both create a line through the slope-intercept form. Feel free to rate my answer Brainliest if I helped you!

Twice as many students are in the chess club as in the fencing club.The number of students in the fencing club is one fifth the
jekas [21]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of students in cooking club = x

Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x

Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x

Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club

Then ;

Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42

2(1/5)x = x - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

-0.6x = - 42

x = 42 / 0.6

x = 70

Hence, number of students in chess club :

(2/5) * 70 = 28

What is 96\3 as a decimal please help thanks
spayn [35]
3 goes into 96 32 times, so 96/3=32. There is no decimal (unless you insist on including one, then it'd be 32.0) because 3 goes into 96 perfectly.
