$\text{Hello there! :)}$

$x = 8\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}$

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

$\text{Since Point M is the midpoint of AB, then:}\\\\AM = MB\\\\$

$\text{Set the two equations equal to each other:}\\\\3x + 40 = x^{2} \\\\$

$\text{Move all terms over to one side to simplify more easily:}\\\\0 = x^{2} - 3x - 40$

$\text{Factor by finding numbers that sum up to -3 and multiply into -40:}\\\\0 = (x - 8)(x + 5)\\\\x = -5, 8$

$\text{The length of a segment cannot be negative, so choose the positive solution:}\\\\x = 8$

$\text{Substitute in this value of x into either AM or MB to solve for AB:}$

$AB = 2(MB)\\\\AB = 2(x^{2} )\\\\AB = 2(8^{2})\\ \\AB = 2(64)\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}$

Find dy/dx when y = Ln (sinh 2x). A. 2 cosh 2x B. 2 sech 2x C. 2 coth 2x D. 2 csch 2x

givi [52]

The function given is a composite function. Let's work from the outside in:
$y=(ln(sinh(2x)))$

First step:
$\frac{d}{dx}[y]= \frac{d}{dx}[ln(sinh(2x))]$

Now, let's work it out:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{sinh(2x) } * \frac{d}{dx}[sinh(2x)]$

Next step:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{sinh(2x) } * cosh(2x) * \frac{d}{dx}[2x]$

Next step:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{sinh(2x) } * cosh(2x) *2$

Simplify:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2cosh(2x)}{sinh(2x) }$

Simplify further:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 (\frac{cosh(2x)}{sinh(2x)})$

Remember that:
${\frac{cosh(x)}{sinh(x)} = coth(x)$

So, your final answer is:
$\boxed{ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2coth(2x) }$

So, your answer is C. Hope I could help you!

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

PT=30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Line PQ which has a mid point at T.

$PT = 3x + 9$ and

$TQ = 5x -5$

To find:

PT = ? in simplified terms.

Solution:

First of all, let us recall that mid point on a line segment is a point that divides the line in two equal parts.

In other words:

If a point B is the mid point of line segment AC, then AB = BC.

Here, the point T is the midpoint of PQ.

i.e. PT = TQ

$3x+9=5x-5\\\Rightarrow 3x-5x=-5-9\\\Rightarrow -2x=-14\\\Rightarrow x=7$

Putting value of $x$ in PT above:

$PT = 3x+9 = 3 \times 7 +9 \\\Rightarrow \bold{PT=30\ units}$

For what values of the variables are the following expressions defined? 1. 5y+2 2. 18/y 3. 1/x+7 4. 2b/10−b Example: X>7

Serga [27]

Answer:

1. All real numbers

2. All real numbers except y = 0

3. All real numbers except x = -7

4. All real numbers except b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For any function to be defined at a particular value, it should not be approaching to a value $\infty$ or it should not give us the $\frac{0}{0}$ (zero by zero) form when the input is given to the function.
