Answer:

36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use concept of basic proportionality theorem,

it states that , when a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

In a triangle ABC

If DE is parallel to BC

D is a point on line AB and E is point on AC, then

by basic proportionality theorem)

AD/DB = AE/EC

_____________________________________

in the problem given one side has a parallel line drawn to it

Hence we can use basic proportionality theorem in it

20/30 = 24/?

2/3 = 24/?

=> ? = 24*3/2 = 36

Hence, missing segment value is 36 units.

kate has a coin collection she keeps 7 of the coins in a box which is only 5% of her entire collection what is the total number

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

so where trying to find the unknown total of coins so where gonna call that x

then we will make an equation 5% * x= 7

then to make it easier to solve we will convert 5% to a decimal .05

and finally to find the answer we will divide both sides by .05

this gives us x= 140 which is the answer

Find dy/dx if y =x^3+5x+2/x²-1

stiks02 [169]

<u>Differentiate using the Quotient Rule</u> –

$\qquad$ $\pink{\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{d}{dx} \bigg[\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)} \bigg]= \dfrac{ g(x)\:\dfrac{d}{dx}\bigg[f(x)\bigg] -f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx}\:\bigg[g(x)\bigg]}{g(x)^2}}\\$

According to the given question, we have –

f(x) = x^3+5x+2
g(x) = x^2-1

Let's solve it!

$\qquad$ $\green{\twoheadrightarrow \bf \dfrac{d}{dx}\bigg[ \dfrac{x^3+5x+2 }{x^2-1}\bigg]} \\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{(x^2-1) \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^3+5x+2) - ( x^3+5x+2) \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1)}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{(x^2-1)(3x^2+5) - ( x^3+5x+2) 2x}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\pink{\sf \because \dfrac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1} }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{3x^4+5x^2-3x^2-5-(2x^4+10x^2+4x)}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{3x^4+5x^2-3x^2-5-2x^4-10x^2-4x}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\green{\twoheadrightarrow \bf \dfrac{x^4-8x^2-4x-5}{(x^2-1)^2 }}\\$

$\qquad$ $\pink{\therefore \bf{\green{\underline{\underline{\dfrac{d}{dx} \dfrac{x^3+5x+2 }{x^2-1}} = \dfrac{x^4-8x^2-4x-5}{(x^2-1)^2 }}}}}\\\\$
