Find dy/dx. if y = 8u - 6 and u = 3x - 8.

Mathematics

Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago

Use the chain rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}

We have

y=8u-6\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}=8

u=3x-8\implies\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=3

so we get

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=8\cdot3=\boxed{24}

Alternatively, you can substitute <em>u</em> in the definition of <em>y</em> and differentiate with respect to <em>x</em> :

y=8u-6=8(3x-8)=24x-64\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=24

The measure of angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of angle B. The two angles are complementary. Find the measure for
svetlana [45]
Given: 
Angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of Angle B. Both angles are complementary

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°

Angle A = x + 4° ; Angle B = x

x + 4° + x = 90°
2x = 90° - 4°
2x = 86°
x = 86° ÷ 2
x = 43° ANGLE B.

Angle A = x + 4° ⇒ 43° + 4 = 47°

Given:
Angle D is 5 times the measure of Angle E. These angles are supplementary. This means that their sum is 180°

Angle D = 5x ; Angle E = x

5x + x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 180° ÷ 6
x = 30°  Angle E.

Angle D = 5x = 5(30) = 150°
