x = 4 and EF = 4 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are congruent, then

1. Their corresponding sides are equal

2. Their corresponding angles are equal

3. Their areas and perimeters are equal

∵ △ ABC ≅ △ DEF

∴ AB ≅ DE

∴ BC ≅ EF

∴ AC ≅ DF

∵ BC = 4 x - 12

∵ EF = -3 x + 16

∵ BC = EF

∴ 4 x - 12 = -3 x + 16

Let us solve the equation to find x

∵ 4 x - 12 = -3 x + 16

- Add 3 x for both sides

∴ 7 x - 12 = 16

- Add 12 to both sides

∴ 7 x = 28

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = 4

Substitute the value of x in the expression of EF

∵ EF = -3 x + 16

∵ x = 4

∴ EF = -3(4) + 16 = -12 + 16

∴ EF = 4

x = 4 and EF = 4

Carl is going to make a frame for a picture. The dimensions of the frame need to be 2 feet by 18 inches. How long must the board
MArishka [77]
The perimeter of an object is found by adding all of the sides.  The sides of his frame would be 2 ft, 2 ft, 1.5 ft (18 inches / 12 inches per foot = 1.5 feet), 1.5 feet.  Adding these together we get a total length of 7 feet.  However, he may want to use a slightly longer board to account for any errors!

Derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions please explain answers
Jobisdone [24]

I'll explain how to do the first one:-

y = cos-1(x2)

This can be described as ' a function of a function'   x^2 is a function of x and cos-1(x^2) is a function of x^2.

We need to  apply the chain rule.

Personally I find this  easier to understand if i let u = x^2, so

If y = f(u) and u is a function of x then

dy/dx = dy/ du * du/dx

Here u = x^2  and y = cos-1(u)

du/dx = 2x

so dy/dx = d(cos-1(x^2) dx = dy/du * du/dx


= -1 / √(1 - u^2) * 2x

= -2x / √(1 - u^2)    

= -2x / √(1 - (x^2)^2)

= -2x / √(1 - x^4)

I hope this helps. but if not. you might like to employ the formulae in the question - The square boxes contain the 'u' s in my answer. These formulae are equivalent to my explanation.
