Question 1- explain how Sheldon immediately knew howard was incorrect?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Part 1) In the procedure

Part 2) In the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Observing the graph

The roots are x=-1/2 and x=4

Remember that, the roots are the x-values when the value of y is equal to zero (the x-intercepts)

That's why Sheldon immediately realizes Howard's solution is incorrect

Part 2) we have

y=2x^{2}-7x-4

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

equate the equation to zero

2x^{2}-7x-4=0  

so

a=2\\b=-7\\c=-4

substitute

x=\frac{-(-7)(+/-)\sqrt{-7^{2}-4(2)(-4)}} {2(2)}

x=\frac{7(+/-)\sqrt{49+32}} {4}

Howard's error is in this step, is wrong with the sign of the number 7, is positive instead of negative

x=\frac{7(+/-)\sqrt{81}}{4}

x=\frac{7(+/-)9}{4}

x=\frac{7(+)9}{4}=4

x=\frac{7(-)9}{4}=-1/2

If cos(xy) = 3x+1 , find dy/dx

_______________


          dy
Find  ——  for an implicit function:
          dx

cos(xy) = 3x + 1.


First, differentiate implicitly both sides with respect to x. Keep in mind that y is not just a variable, but it is also a function of x, so you have to use the chain rule there:

\mathsf{\dfrac{d}{dx}\big[cos(xy)\big]=\dfrac{d}{dx}(3x+1)}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(xy)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(3x)+\dfrac{d}{dx}(1)}


Apply the product rule to differentiate that term at the left-hand side:

\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)\cdot y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3+0}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[1\cdot y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3}

   

Now, multiply out the terms to get rid of the brackets at the left-hand
                                       dy
side, and then isolate  —— :
                                       dx

\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot y-sin(xy)\cdot x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{-\,y\,sin(xy)-x\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{-\;x\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3+y\,sin(xy)}\\\\\\\\&#10;\therefore~~\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{3+y\,sin(xy)}{-\;x\,sin(xy)}\qquad\quad for~~x\,sin(xy)\ne 0\qquad\quad\checkmark}


and there it is.


I hope this helps. =)

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC ahs vertices at points A(-4,-4), B(-1,-2) and C(-1,-4).

<u>1 way:</u> First reflect this triangle across the y-axis to form the triangle A''B''C'' which vertices are at points A''(4,-4), B''(1,-2) and C''(1,-4).

Then translate this triangle 7 units up to form the triangle A'B'C' with vertices:

A'(4,-4+7)=A'(4,3)\\ \\B'(1,-2+7)=B'(1,5)\\ \\C'(1,-4+7)=C'(1,3)

<u>2 way:</u> First translate this triangle 7 units up to form the triangle A''B''C'' which vertices are at points A''(-4,3), B''(-1,5) and C''(-1,3).

Then reflect this triangle across the y-axis to form the triangle A'B'C' with vertices:

A'(-(-4),3)=A'(4,3)\\ \\B'(-(-1),5)=B'(1,5)\\ \\C'(-(-1),3)=C'(1,3)
