Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

(x · 3 - 15) = 18

[ Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation ]

x(3) − 15 = 18

3x + −15 = 18

3x − 15 = 18

[ Step 2: Add 15 to both sides ]

3x − 15 + 15 = 18 + 15

3x = 33

[ Step 3: Divide both sides by 3 ]

3x / 3 = 33 / 3

x = 11

Georgia [21]

Answer:

y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the slope

Using the coordinate points (4, 0) and (0, -4)

m = -4-0/0-4

m = -4/-4

m = 1

Since the line cuts the y axis at y = -4, the y-intercept b = -4

Get the equation;

Since y = mx+b

y = 1x + (-4)

y = x - 4

This gives the required equation

Answer:

-9/4 ÷ (-2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-(2 1/4) ➡ -9/4

-2/3 ➡ (again a reciprocal needed) -3/2 since we need the result to be positive both expression should remain negative so the answer is -9/4 ÷ -2/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a function of x,

$f(x) = 2sin x + 2cos x,0\leq x\leq 2\pi$

Let us find first and second derivative for f(x)

$f'(x) = 2cosx -2sinx\\f"(x) = -2sinx-2cosx$

When f'(x) =0 we have tanx = 1 and hence

a) f'(x) >0 for I and III quadrant

Hence increasing in $(0, \pi/2) U(\pi,3\pi/2)\\$

and decreasing in $(\pi/2, \pi)U(3\pi/2,2\pi)$

$x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}$

$f"(\pi/4)$

Hence f has a maxima at x = pi/4 and minima at x = 3pi/4

b) Maximum value = $2sin \pi/4+2cos \pi/4 =2\sqrt{2}$

Minimum value = $2sin 3\pi/4+2cos 3\pi/4 =-2\sqrt{2}$

f"(x) =0 gives tanx =-1

$x= 3\pi/4, 7\pi/4$

are points of inflection.

concave up in (3pi/4,7pi/4)

and concave down in (0,3pi/4)U(7pi/4,2pi)
