Because if you draw a three pies and cut all of them into 8 pieces and shade 6 in one, 5 in the other, and 7 into the last one, you will see that there is a bigger piece shaded in the one with 6 shaded than the pie with 5 shaded. And less shaded than the one with 7 shaded. Hope I helped :)
Properly identifying and assigning the proper variables to each part of the problem before attempting to solve it
Answer:
The value of x is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles in a triangles is 180°
From the question:
In ΔVWX,
m∠V=(4x+3) ∘
m∠W=(x+7) ∘
m∠X=(5x+0) ∘ .
Hence:
m∠V + m∠W + m∠V = 180°
4x + 3 + x + 7 + 5x + 0 = 180°
Collect like terms
4x + x + 5x + 3 + 7 + 0 = 180°
10x + 10 = 180°
Subtract 10 from both sides
10x + 10 - 10 = 180° - 10
10x = 170
Divide both sides by 10
10x/10 = 170/10
x = 17
The value of x is 17
(a)
![f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%27%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7Blnx%7D%7Bx%7D%5D)
Using the quotient rule:
For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
(b) <em>Deduce:
</em>
<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
, since ln(e) is simply equal to 1
Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
, as required.
