18+12*4=18+48=66 ft
1st floor is 18ft
next 4 are 12ft
The highest power is 2.
Explanation:
Because x has a maximum power of 2, there will be 2 answers. if it were 3, there could be up to 3 answers, etc.
While solving this problem, you gather all terms on one side so the equation looks like
x
2
−
81
+
17
=
0
x
2
−
64
=
0
then factor
(
x
−
8
)
(
x
+
8
)
=
0
then, because any number times 0 equals 0, we know that one of the two parts in the parenthesis must be equal to 0, so
x
−
8
=
0
or
x
+
8
=
0
and so the two answers
x
=
8
,
−
8
come to be.
Answer:
dy/dx = (4 (x + y)^3 - y) / ( x - 4(x + y)^3).
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = (x + y)^4
Using implicit differentiation:
x dy/dx + y*1 = 4 (x + y)^3 * (1 + dy/dx)
x dy/dx + y = 4 (x + y)^3 + 4 dy/dx (x + y)^3
x dy/dx - 4 dy/dx (x + y)^3 = 4 (x + y)^3 - y
dy/dx( x - 4(x + y)^3) = 4 (x + y)^3 - y
dy/dx = (4 (x + y)^3 - y) / ( x - 4(x + y)^3)
