<h3>The value of the smaller number is 31.</h3><h3>The value of the larger number is 43.</h3>

y = 12 + x

y + x = 74

Since we have a value for y, we can plug it into the second equation

12 + x + x = 74

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x + x = 62

Combine like terms.

2x = 62

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 31

Now that we have a value of x, we can plug it into the original equation to get a value for y.

y = 12 + 31

y = 43

Answer:

151.9 if the side length of the pentagon/ base of each triangle is 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

if the side length of the pentagon/ base of each triangle is 6 m then it is a pretty simple question, we just need to add the surface area of the base pentagon and each triangle.

We have the area of the base, so we just need the triangles. The area of a triangle is .5bh, where the base of a triangle here is one side of the pentagon and the height is that indicated red 6. so that means one triangle has an area of .5*6*6 or 18. There are 5 triangles total so that means that with all the triangles there is an area of 90. Adding that to 61.9 gets us 151.9. let me know if you need any more help.

Answer:

AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the legs are congruent, that is

BC = BA, substitute values

5x - 10 = 3x - 4 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = - 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Thus

AB = 3x - 4 = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-xy - 2y = -4

Rate of change of the tangent line at point (-1, 4)

Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1

Find 1st Derivative

Implicit Differentiation [Product Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $-y - xy' - 2y' = 0$
[Algebra] Isolate y' terms: $-xy' - 2y' = y$
[Algebra] Factor y': $y'(-x - 2) = y$
[Algebra] Isolate y': $y' = \frac{y}{-x-2}$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-y}{x+2}$

Step 3: Find y

Define equation: $-xy - 2y = -4$
Factor y: $y(-x - 2) = -4$
Isolate y: $y = \frac{-4}{-x-2}$
Simplify: $y = \frac{4}{x+2}$

Step 4: Rewrite 1st Derivative

[Algebra] Substitute in y: $y' = \frac{-\frac{4}{x+2} }{x+2}$
[Algebra] Simplify: $y' = \frac{-4}{(x+2)^2}$

Step 5: Differentiate Pt. 2

Find 2nd Derivative

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{0(x+2)^2 - 8 \cdot 2(x + 2) \cdot 1}{[(x + 2)^2]^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{8}{(x+2)^3}$
