Answer:

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2(x-4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function  

y=ln(x-4)^{\frac{1}{2}}

We have to find the derivative of the function

y=\frac{1}{2}ln(x-4)

By using lna^b=blna

Differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{x-4}

By using formula

\frac{d(lnx)}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2(x-4)}

Hence, the derivative of function

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2(x-4)}

Given g ( x ) = 2 x + 3 , solve for x when g(x)=3.
padilas [110]

Answer:

x = 0

Step by step explanation:

g ( x ) = 2x + 3

If x = 0,

g ( 0 ) = 2 (0) + 3

or, g ( 0 ) = 3

An open top rectangular box is to be made from a rectangular piece of metal that is 3cm wide and 8cm long by cutting a square fr
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x  = 0.67 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  " x " the length of the side of the square to cut from each corner

then the sides of the future box would be

L = 8 - 2x       and   D = 3 - 2x

The volume of the box is:

V = L*D*x

And such volume as function of x is

V(x)  = ( 8 - 2x ) * ( 3 - 2x ) * x     ⇒  V(x)  = ( 24 - 16x - 6x + 4x²) * x

V(x)  =  4x³ - 22x² + 24x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

V´(x) = 12x² - 44x + 24

Then    V´(x) = 0       ⇒   12x² - 44x + 24 = 0    ⇒  3x² -  11x + 6 = 0

We got a second degree equation solving for x

x₁,₂  = [11 ± √ 121 - 72 ] / 6

x₁  = ( 11 + 7 ) / 6         x₁  =  3   we dismiss this solution since according to problem statement  one side would become negative

Then

x₂  =  (  11 - 7 ) / 6    ⇒    x₂  =  4/6      ⇒   x₂  =  0.67 cm

As the second drivative is smaller than 0 then there is a maximun in that point

V´´(x)  = 12x - 44  < 0

Sides of the box

L = 8 - 2x    ⇒  L = 8 - 2*(0.67)   ⇒  L  = 8  - 1.34    ⇒  L = 6.66 cm

D = 3 - 2x   ⇒   D = 3 - 2* (0.67) ⇒  D = 3 - 1.34    ⇒   D = 1.66 cm

Heigh  =  x  = 0.67 cm

V(max) = 6.66*1.66*0.67

V(max) = 7.41 cm³

A thermos in the shape of a cylinder is filled with coffee. The height of the cylinder is 12 inches and its radius is 2 inches.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Option C is correct

Volume of coffee in the thermos is, 150.8 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cylinder is given by:

V =\pi r^2h

Where

V is the volume of the cylinder

r is the radius

h is the height of the cylinder respectively

As per the statement:

A thermos in the shape of a cylinder is filled with coffee.

the height of the cylinder is 12 inches and its radius is 2 inches

⇒ h = 12 inches and r = 2 inches.

Substitute the given values and use \pi = 3.14 in [1]

then;

V =3.14 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 12

V =3.14 \cdot 48

Simplify:

V  ≈150.8 inches.

Therefore, the volume of coffee in the thermos is, 150.8 cubic inches
