In rectangle $ABCD$, $AD=1$, $P$ is on $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{DB}$ and $\overline{DP}$ trisect $\angle ADC$. Write the

perimeter of $\triangle BDP$ in simplest form as: $w + \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{y}}{z}$, where $w, x, y, z$ are nonnegative integers. What is $w + x + y + z$?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

w+x+y+z = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When right angle ADC is divided into three equal parts (trisected), each of those parts is 90°/3 = 30°. Thus, ∠CDB = ∠PBD = ∠PDB = 30°.

The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are in the proportion 1 : √3 : 2. Hence BD = 2, and PD = PB = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3.

Then the perimeter of ∆BDP is ...

... perimeter ∆BDP = BD + DP + PB

... = 2 + (2/3)√3 + (2/3)√3

... = 2 + (4√3)/3 . . . . . . . . w=2, x=4, y=3, z=3

w + x + y + z = 2+4+3+3 = 12

Mai, Eric, and Dean served a total of 103 orders on Monday. Mai served 8 more orders than Eric. Dean served 3 times as many orde

mel-nik [20]

Let the number of orders Eric served be x

Eric = x
Mai = x+ 8 [Mai served 8 more than Eric]
Dean = 3x [Dean served 3 times as many as Eric]

Given that the total is 103
x + x + 8 + 3x = 103
5x + 8 = 103
5x = 103 - 8
5x = 95
x = 19

x = 19
x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27
3x = 19 x 3 = 57

Eric served 19
Mai served 27
Dean served 57

Please help meeeee math

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Q2. By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy}{dt} \cdot \dfrac{dt}{dx} = \dfrac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$

We have

$x=2t \implies \dfrac{dx}{dt}=2$

$y=t^4+1 \implies \dfrac{dy}{dt}=4t^3$

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at $t=1$ is then

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{t=1} = \dfrac{4t^3}{2} \bigg|_{t=1} = 2t^3\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

so the slope of the normal line is $-\frac12$ . When $t=1$ , we have

$x\bigg|_{t=1} = 2t\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

$y\bigg|_{t=1} = (t^4+1)\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

so the curve passes through (2, 2). Using the point-slope formula for a line, the equation of the normal line is

$y - 2 = -\dfrac12 (x - 2) \implies y = -\dfrac12 x + 3$

Q3. Differentiating with the product, power, and chain rules, we have

$y = x(x+1)^{1/2} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{3x+2}{2\sqrt{x+1}} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=3} = \dfrac{11}4$

The derivative vanishes when

$\dfrac{3x+2}{2\sqrt{x+1}} = 0 \implies 3x+2=0 \implies x = -\dfrac23$

Q4. Differentiating with the product and chain rules, we have

$y = (2x+1)e^{-2x} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -4xe^{-2x}$

The stationary points occur where the derivative is zero.

$-4xe^{-2x} = 0 \implies x = 0$

at which point we have

$y = (2x+1)e^{-2x} \bigg|_{x=0} = 1$

so the stationary point has coordinates (0, 1). By its "nature", I assume the question is asking what kind of local extremum this point. Compute the second derivative and evaluate it at $x=0$ .

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\bigg|_{x=0} = (8x-4)e^{-2x}\bigg|_{x=0} = -4 < 0$

The negative sign tells us this stationary point is a local maximum.

Q5. Differentiating the volume equation implicitly with respect to $t$ , we have

$V = \dfrac{4\pi}3 r^3 \implies \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2 \dfrac{dr}{dt}$

When $r=5\,\rm cm$ , and given it changes at a rate $\frac{dr}{dt}=-1.5\frac{\rm cm}{\rm s}$ , we have

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi (5\,\mathrm{cm})^2 \left(-1.5\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = -150\pi \dfrac{\rm cm^3}{\rm s}$

Q6. Given that $V=400\pi\,\rm cm^3$ is fixed, we have

$V = \pi r^2h \implies h = \dfrac{400\pi}{\pi r^2} = \dfrac{400}{r^2}$

Substitute this into the area equation to make it dependent only on $r$ .

$A = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r \left(\dfrac{400}{r^2}\right) = \pi r^2 + \dfrac{800\pi}r$

Find the critical points of $A$ .

$\dfrac{dA}{dr} = 2\pi r - \dfrac{800\pi}{r^2} = 0 \implies r = \dfrac{400}{r^2} \implies r^3 = 400 \implies r = 2\sqrt[3]{50}$

Check the sign of the second derivative at this radius to confirm it's a local minimum (sign should be positive).

$\dfrac{d^2A}{dr^2}\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}} = \left(2\pi + \dfrac{1600\pi}{r^3}\right)\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}} = 6\pi > 0$

Hence the minimum surface area is

$A\bigg_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}\,\rm cm} = \left(\pi r^2 + \dfrac{800\pi}r\right)\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}\,\rm cm} = 60\pi\sqrt[3]{20}\,\rm cm^2$

Q7. The volume of the box is

$V = 8x^2$

(note that the coefficient 8 is measured in cm) while its surface area is

$A = 2x^2 + 12x$

(there are two $x$ -by- $x$ faces and four 8-by- $x$ faces; again, the coefficient 12 has units of cm).

When $A = 210\,\rm cm^2$ , we have

$210 = 2x^2 + 12x \implies x^2 + 6x - 105 = 0 \implies x = -3 \pm\sqrt{114}$

This has to be a positive length, so we have $x=\sqrt{114}-3\,\rm cm$ .

Given that $\frac{dx}{dt}=0.05\frac{\rm cm}{\rm s}$ , differentiate the volume and surface area equations with respect to $t$ .

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = (16\,\mathrm{cm})x \dfrac{dx}{dt} = (16\,\mathrm{cm})(\sqrt{114}-3\,\mathrm{cm})\left(0.05\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = \dfrac{4(\sqrt{114}-3)}5 \dfrac{\rm cm^3}{\rm s}$

$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 4x\dfrac{dx}{dt} + (12\,\mathrm{cm})\dfrac{dx}{dt} = \left(4(\sqrt{114}-3\,\mathrm {cm}) + 12\,\mathrm{cm}\right)\left(0.05\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = \dfrac{\sqrt{114}}5 \dfrac{\rm cm^2}{\rm s}$

1. Provide an example of a variable term.

jeka94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) a variable term contains a variable. If x is a variable

5x is an example of a variable therm

2) a constant therm is not a variable

3 is an example

3) for example when a number multiply a sum or a difference between a constant and a variable

Example:

2(x-3) = 5(x+4)

4) one solution: only if x is equal to 0 the equation is true

5) no solution: the equation can’t be true for ever value of the variable

6) infinite solutions: the equation is ever true for every value of the variable
