The answer is <span>√x + √y = √c </span>
<span>=> 1/(2√x) + 1/(2√y) dy/dx = 0 </span>
<span>=> dy/dx = - √y/√x </span>

<span>Let (x', y') be any point on the curve </span>
<span>=> equation of the tangent at that point is </span>
<span>y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>

<span>x-intercept of this tangent is obtained by plugging y = 0 </span>
<span>=> 0 - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>
<span>=> x = √(x'y') + x' </span>

<span>y-intercept of the tangent is obtained by plugging x = 0 </span>
<span>=> y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (0 - x') </span>
<span>=> y = y' + √(x'y') </span>

<span>Sum of the x and y intercepts </span>
<span>= √(x'y') + x' + y' + √(x'y') </span>
<span>= (√x' + √y')^2 </span>
<span>= (√c)^2 (because (x', y') is on the curve => √x' + √y' = √c) </span>
<span>= c.  hope this helps :D</span>

Solving Equations<br> ve<br> x + 14 = 7x + 32 - 3x
Mkey [24]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+14=7x+32−3x

x+14=7x+32+−3x

x+14=(7x+−3x)+(32)(Combine Like Terms)

x+14=4x+32

x+14=4x+32

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

x+14−4x=4x+32−4x

−3x+14=32

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

−3x+14−14=32−14

−3x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3=18/−3

x=−6

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 20
vladimir2022 [97]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st number be x

2nd number = x + 2

3rd number = x + 4

4th number = x + 6

5th number = x + 8

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 20

5x + 20 = 20

5x = 20 - 20

5x = 0

x = 0 ÷ 5

x = 0

The 5 consecutive integers are

0, 2, 4, 6, 8

A projectile was launched straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 48 ft/s. The height of the projectile t second
alex41 [277]
Factor f(t) and you can identify the values of t for which the height is zero.
.. f(t) = -16t(t -3)

The projectile lands after 3 seconds in the air. (selection A)

Coffee café mix 90 pounds of coffee that cost six dollars per pound the types of coffee used to make this makes you cost seven d
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

y =  60

Step-by-step explanation:

From the  information we get:

x  quantity of 4 dollars  coffee used in the mix

y  quantity of 7 dollars  coffee used in the mix

For the quantity of coffee to be sold a 7 $/pound  ( 90 pounds)

Then  6*90  =  540  $

Therefore

x  +  y  =  90     and

4*x  +  7*y  =  540

A two equations system we solve for x and y

y =  90  -  x

4*x  +  7* ( 90  -  x ) = 540

4*x  +  630 - 7*x  =  540

- 3*x  =  - 90

x = 30 pounds   and

y  =  90  -  30

y  =  60

We should use  60 pounds of the seven $ coffee
