4x + 8 = $\frac{2}{3}$ (9 + x)

12x + 24 = 2(9 + x) multiplied both sides by 3

12x + 24 = 18 + 2x distributed 2 on the right side

10x + 24 = 18 subtracted 2x from both sides

10x = -6 subtracted 24 from both sides

$\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{-6}{10}$ divided both sides by 10

x = $\frac{-3}{5}$

Answer: $\frac{-3}{5}$

Answer:

-8X^4y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2X² × 4X²y² = -8X^4y^2

edit to add:

first: multiply the coefficients together:

-2 x 4 = -8

second: add the exponents of X together (when you multiply exponents, you just add them together):

² & ² = ^4

and you have the answer:

-8X^4y^2

Answer:

See below for proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

First derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.4 cm}\underline{Chain Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $f(g(x))$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=f'(g(x))\:g'(x)$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Differentiating $x^n$}\\\\If $y=x^n$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=xn^{n-1}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\begin{aligned} y_1=\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{2x}{2\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right) \\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(\dfrac{x+\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\end{aligned}$

Second derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Product Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $y=uv$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=u\dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}+v\dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\textsf{Let }u=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}=-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}$

$\textsf{Let }v=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\begin{aligned}y_2=\dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}&=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\&=\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\\\\ &=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)\\\\\end{aligned}$

$= \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\right)\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)$

Proof

$(x^2+1)y_2+xy_1-m^2y$

$= (x^2+1) \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$
