Let's say the second piece is x ft long
The first piece is 2x ft long
The third piece is x+4 ft long
All of the pieces should add up to 10ft
x+2x+x+4=10
4x= 6
x=1.5ft
The first piece is 2x ft long=3 ft long

Write the expression in algebraic form. [hint: sketch a right triangle.] tan(arcsec(x/3))
WARRIOR [948]

Sketch  a right triangle having adjacent side(A) is given as “3”, hypotenuse side (H) is “x” and assigning angle “a” as the angle between A and H. Using Pythagorean theorem, you will get “square root of x-squared minus 9” as the opposite side (O). Using SOH CAH TOA function, and since secant is the reciprocal of cosine, sec(a) = x/3. Thus, a = arcsec(x/3). The remaining expression tan(a) is Opposite side over Adjacent side which is equal to “square root of x^2 - 9” over "3". Therefore, the algebraic expression would be: tan(arcsec(x/3)) = “sqrt (x^2 -9)” /3. Different answers can be made depending on which side you consider the “3” and “x”.

CALC- limits<br> please show your method
gladu [14]
A. Factor the numerator as a difference of squares:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to9}\frac{x-9}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}\frac{(\sqrt x-3)(\sqrt x+3)}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}(\sqrt x+3)=6

c. As x\to\infty, the contribution of the terms of degree less than 2 becomes negligible, which means we can write

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2-4x-8}{x^2-9}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2}{x^2}=\lim_{x\to\infty}4=4

e. Let's first rewrite the root terms with rational exponents:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{\sqrt[3]x-x}{\sqrt x-x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}

Next we rationalize the numerator and denominator. We do so by recalling

(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2
(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)=a^3-b^3

In particular,

(x^{1/3}-x)(x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2)=x-x^3
(x^{1/2}-x)(x^{1/2}+x)=x-x^2

so we have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}\cdot\frac{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{1/2}+x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}

For x\neq0 and x\neq1, we can simplify the first term:

\dfrac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}=\dfrac{x(1-x^2)}{x(1-x)}=\dfrac{x(1-x)(1+x)}{x(1-x)}=1+x

So our limit becomes

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{(1+x)(x^{1/2}+x)}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}=\frac{(1+1)(1+1)}{1+1+1}=\frac43

Please solve the questions
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a

2 + x = 15

x = 15 -2

x = 13

For B

x - 12 = 14

x = 12 + 14

x = 26

For C

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Hope it helps:)
