Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem as written cannot have any of the solutions offered.

For any of those choices, the right side expression will be irrational. The left side expression will be rational for any rational value of x, so cannot be equal to the right-side expression.

The solution is an irrational number near ...

x ≈ 1.33682898582

For each of the following vector fields F , decide whether it is conservative or not by computing curl F . Type in a potential f

Phantasy [73]

The key idea is that, if a vector field is conservative, then it has curl 0. Equivalently, if the curl is not 0, then the field is not conservative. But if we find that the curl is 0, that on its own doesn't mean the field is conservative.

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(5x+10y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-6x+5y)}{\partial y}=5-5=0$

We want to find $f$ such that $\nabla f=\vec F$ . This means

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-6x+5y\implies f(x,y)=-3x^2+5xy+g(y)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=5x+10y=5x+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=10y\implies g(y)=5y^2+C$

$\implies\boxed{f(x,y)=-3x^2+5xy+5y^2+C}$

so $\vec F$ is conservative.

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(\dfrac{\partial(-2y)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(1)}{\partial y}\right)\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-3x)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(1)}{\partial z}\right)\vec\jmath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-2y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-3x)}{\partial y}\right)\vec k=\vec0$

Then

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-3x\implies f(x,y,z)=-\dfrac32x^2+g(y,z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-2y=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies g(y,z)=-y^2+h(y)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=1=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=z+C$

$\implies\boxed{f(x,y,z)=-\dfrac32x^2-y^2+z+C}$

so $\vec F$ is conservative.

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(10y-3x\cos y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-\sin y)}{\partial y}=-3\cos y+\cos y=-2\cos y\neq0$

so $\vec F$ is not conservative.

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(\dfrac{\partial(5y^2)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(5z^2)}{\partial y}\right)\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-3x^2)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(5z^2)}{\partial x}\right)\vec\jmath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(5y^2)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-3x^2)}{\partial y}\right)\vec k=\vec0$

Then

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-3x^2\implies f(x,y,z)=-x^3+g(y,z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=5y^2=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies g(y,z)=\dfrac53y^3+h(z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=5z^2=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=\dfrac53z^3+C$

$\implies\boxed{f(x,y,z)=-x^3+\dfrac53y^3+\dfrac53z^3+C}$

so $\vec F$ is conservative.

-4x -6 = 3 - 5x<br> Solve for x pls

ycow [4]

Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

-4x - 6 = 3 - 5x

Add 6 to both sides

-4x - 6 + 6 = 3 - 5x + 6

-4x = -5x + 9

Add 5x to both sides

-4x + 5x = -5x + 9 + 5x

x = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 = 3/6

2/3 = 4/6

3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6

7/6 - 1/6 = 6/6 or 1

Tomas has a garden with a length of 2.45 meters and a width of 5/8 meters. Use benchmarks to estimate the area and perimeter of

Alchen [17]

Answer: The area is 1 1/4. The perimeter is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: 2.45 is about 2.5. 5/8 is about 1/2. To find the area we need to multiply length times width. 2.5 is 2 and 1/2 which is 5/2. 5/2 times 1/2 is 5/4. To simplify it divide 5 by 4 which is 1 with remainder 1. 5/4 is 1 1/4. Therefore the area is 1 1/4 meters squared. To find the perimeter we have to add length + length + width + width. . 2.5 is the same thing as 2 1/2. 5/8 is about 1/2 if we use benchmarks. 2 1/2 + 2 1/2 + + 1/2 + 1/2 is 6. The perimeter is 6.
