Use <em>CPCTC</em> and make ratios and proportionalities to find the value of segment PW:

If △WPJ∼△DNJ, then according to CPCTC, WP must be proportional to DN and PJ must be proportional to JN. Now, we can make a ratio:

$\frac{WP}{DN}= \frac{PJ}{NJ}$

Substitute the values that are given in the diagram.
DN=87.5
NJ=56
PJ=64

$\frac{WP}{87.5}= \frac{64}{56}$

Solve for x. You can do it by cross-multiplication.

$\frac{WP}{87.5}= \frac{64}{56} \\ 56*WP=64*87.5 \\ 56*WP=5600 \\ WP=100$

The measure of segment WP is 100 meters.

Suppose f(x, y) is a differentiable function of x and y and let g(r, s) = f (2rs, 8s − 2r). Use

worty [1.4K]

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial r} = \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial r} \\\\ ~~~~~ = \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial r} + \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y} \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial r} \\\\ ~~~~~ = 2 s \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} - 2 \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}$

where $x(r,s)=2rs$ and $y(r,s)=8s-2r$ .

If $r=2$ and $s=1$ , then

$x = 2\cdot2\cdot1 = 4$

$y=8\cdot1-2\cdot2 = 4$

so that

$g_r(2,1) = 2\cdot1 f_x(4,4) - 2 f_y(4,4) = 2\cdot2-2\cdot3 = \boxed{-2}$

Find the x-coordinates of any relative extrema and inflection point(s) for the function f(x)= 6x^1/3 + 3x^4/3. You must justify

irina [24]

Answer:

x-coordinates of relative extrema = $\frac{-1}{2}$

x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=6x^{\frac{1}{3}}+3x^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Differentiate with respect to x

$f'(x)=6\left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-2}{3}}+3\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )x^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$f'(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1}{2}$

Differentiate f'(x) with respect to x

$f''(x)=2\left ( \frac{-2}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-5}{3}}+\frac{4}{3}x^{\frac{-2}{3}}=\frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}\\f''(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}=0\Rightarrow x=1$
