Answer is negative 4
-7x + 4 - 8 = 24
-7x + 4 - 4 + 8 - 8 = 24 + 4 - 8
-7x = 28
x = 28/-7
x = -4

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Fantom [35]

Hello again! So we will be using the pythagorean theorem ( $leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$ ) to solve for the bottom leg of the triangles. After we do that, we'll subtract the value of the legs from 31, and that'll be x.

Plug in 17 and z (or any variable that isn't x) into the leg variable and 19 into the hypotenuse variable, and from there we can solve.

$17^2+z^2=19^2$

Solve the exponents to get $289+z^2=361$

Subtract 289 on each side to get $z^2=72$

Lastly, square root each side of the equation and your answer should be $z= \sqrt{72}$ (To get more accurate answers, you shouldn't round until the end of the problem)

Nextly, we will need to subtract $\sqrt{72}$ from 31. And since there are 2 triangles, you'll need to multiply $\sqrt{72}$ by 2.

$x=31- \sqrt{72} *2 \\ x=14.0$

In short, x = 14.0

a. For what values of x does f (x )equals 3 x plus 3 sine x have a horizontal tangent line? b. For what values of x does f (x )

laila [671]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the value of x= $\pi$

(b) Therefore the value of x $=\frac{\pi}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal tangent line: The first order derivative of a function gives the slope of the tangent of the function. The slope of horizontal line is zero.If the slope of tangent line is zero then the tangent line is called horizontal tangent line.

(a)

Given function is,

$f(x)= 3x+3sin x$

Differential with respect to x

$f'(x)=3+3cos x$

For horizontal tangent line, f'(x)=0

3+ 3 cos x= 0

⇒3 cos x=-3

⇒cos x=-1

⇒x = 180° $=\pi$

Therefore the value of x= $\pi$

(b)

Given that, the slope is 3.

Then,f'(x)=3

3+ 3 cos x= 3

⇒3 cos x= 3-3

⇒cos x=0

⇒x = 90° $=\frac{\pi}{2}$

Therefore the value of x $=\frac{\pi}{2}$
