What is the first step in solving the inequality 2x + 3 ≥ 17?

2 answers:

5 0

The first step of solving this inequality is subtracting 3 to both sides. This will cancel 3 from the left side to start isolating x.

2x + 3 - 3 ≥ 17 - 3

2x ≥ 14

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x≥7

Step-by-step explanatio

To solve this problem, subtract 3 from both sides and divide by 2 from both sides.

2x+3-3≥17-3

17-3=14

2x≥14

2x/2≥14/2

14/2=7

x≥7 is the correct answer.

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation for ysin(y) = xcos(x)

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos(x)-x\sin(x)}{\sin(y)+y\cos(y)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

$y\sin(y)=x\cos(x)$

And we want to find dy/dx.

So, let's take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

$\frac{d}{dx}[y\sin(y)]=\frac{d}{dx}[x\cos(x)]$

Let's do each side individually.

Left Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[y\sin(y)]$

We can use the product rule:

$(uv)'=u'v+uv'$

So, our derivative is:

$=\frac{d}{dx}[y]\sin(y)+y\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(y)]$

We must implicitly differentiate for y. This gives us:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(y)]$

For the sin(y), we need to use the chain rule:

$u(v(x))'=u'(v(x))\cdot v'(x)$

Our u(x) is sin(x) and our v(x) is y. So, u'(x) is cos(x) and v'(x) is dy/dx.

So, our derivative is:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y(\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}})$

Simplify:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}}$

And we are done for the right.

Right Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[x\cos(x)]$

This will be significantly easier since it's just x like normal.

Again, let's use the product rule:

$=\frac{d}{dx}[x]\cos(x)+x\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(x)]$

Differentiate:

$=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

So, our entire equation is:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}}=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

To find our derivative, we need to solve for dy/dx. So, let's factor out a dy/dx from the left. This yields:

$\frac{dy}{dx}(\sin(y)+y\cos(y))=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

Finally, divide everything by the expression inside the parentheses to obtain our derivative:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos(x)-x\sin(x)}{\sin(y)+y\cos(y)}$

And we're done!

In 4 minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

kkurt [141]

Answer:

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In 4 minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable

aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes.

To find - If both belts are used, find how long it takes to move the cans

to the storage area.

Proof -

Given that,

Larger belt take 4 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Larger belt = 4 min/ shifting

Also,

Smaller belt take 6 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Smaller belt = 6 min/ shifting

Now,

As we know that Time is inversely proportional to time, so

Rate of Larger Belt = $\frac{1}{4}$ shifting/min

Rate of Smaller Belt = $\frac{1}{6}$ shifting/min

Now,

Let us assume that , if both belts used then,

Total time taken = x min/shifting

Then, Rate = $\frac{1}{x}$ shifting/min

Now,

$\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$

⇒ $\frac{6 + 4}{24} = \frac{1}{x}$

⇒ $\frac{10}{24} = \frac{1}{x}$

⇒10x = 24

⇒x = $\frac{24}{10}$ = 2.4 minutes

∴ we get

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.
