Answer:

Since C is the mid point,

therefore, (6x - 4)/2 = 4x-3

=> 6x - 4 = 2X(4x-3) = 8x - 6

=> 6x - 8x = -6 + 4

=> -2x = -2

=> x = (-2)/(-2) = 1

Hence, CD = AC = 4x - 3 = 4X1 - 3 = 1

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

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

Using 5 letters followed by 2 digits, how many passwords are possible?

Deffense [45]

Since there is no condition whatsoever for this arrangement, I can consider the 2 digits and the 5 letters as 7 different objects.

Total permutation (with no repetition):
7 chosen among 7 , that is 7 ! = 5040 arrangements

Total permutation (WITH REPERTITION):

7⁷ = 823 543

Solve each system of inequalties by graphing.

nordsb [41]

Start by graphing each line.

• Because the first inequality is smaller than, it will have a dotted (- - -) line.

• Because the second inequality is smaller than or equal to, it will have a solid line (---).

Then, plug in points to see where your shading will go. If the statement is true (x = x), you will shade that area along the line.

$y < 3x + 2$

$(0) < 3(0) + 2$

$0 < 2$

0 is less than 2.

Do the same step for the other equation. Your solution to the problem is any point that lies between the shading from both inequalities (where the blue and red meet).

A deck of 38 cards contains 16 blue cards, 6 red cards, and 16 yellow cards. What is the probability of randomly drawing a blue

GalinKa [24]

The probability of drawing a blue card is equal to the quotient when the number of blue cards is divided by the total number of cards. This is, 16/38 which is also equal to 8/19. Thus, the probability of drawing a yellow card is 8/19. The answer is letter C.

The ratio of the number of cups of blue paint to the number of cups of red paint that Lara mixed to make a shade of purple paint

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Generally given that the number of cups of blue to that of red paint is 3: 1 then the Lara mixed 3 cups of blue paint with 1 cup of red paint

The number is $x= \frac{1}{3}$
