Answer: y = -4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

use the product formula (ab' + a'b) to find the derivative:

x * (1 - 2x)³

a = x a' = 1

b = (1 - 2x)³ b' = 3(-2)(1 - 2x)²

= -6(1 - 2x)²

ab' + a'b

= x(-6)(1 - 2x)² + 1(x)

= -6x(1 - 2x)² + x

Plug in the given x-values to find the slope:

= -6(1)(1 - 2(1))² + (1)

= -6(-1)² + 1

= -6 + 1

= -5

Next, input the slope and the point into the Point-Slope formula:

y + 1 = -5(x - 1)

y + 1 = -4x + 5

y = -4x + 4

Find all the complex roots. Write the answer in exponential form.

dezoksy [38]

We have to calculate the fourth roots of this complex number:

$z=9+9\sqrt[]{3}i$

We start by writing this number in exponential form:

$\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{9^2+(9\sqrt[]{3})^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+81\cdot3} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+243} \\ r=\sqrt[]{324} \\ r=18 \end{gathered}$ $\theta=\arctan (\frac{9\sqrt[]{3}}{9})=\arctan (\sqrt[]{3})=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Then, the exponential form is:

$z=18e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}$

The formula for the roots of a complex number can be written (in polar form) as:

$z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot\lbrack\cos (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})\rbrack\text{ for }k=0,1,\ldots,n-1$

Then, for a fourth root, we will have n = 4 and k = 0, 1, 2 and 3.

To simplify the calculations, we start by calculating the fourth root of r:

$r^{\frac{1}{4}}=18^{\frac{1}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{18}$

NOTE: It can not be simplified anymore, so we will leave it like this.

Then, we calculate the arguments of the trigonometric functions:

$\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k}{4}=\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\pi}{2}k=\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{k}{2})$

We can now calculate for each value of k:

$\begin{gathered} k=0\colon \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\pi}{8}) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot e^{i\frac{\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=1\colon \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{5\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{5\pi}{8})) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{5\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=2\colon \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{9\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{9\pi}{8})) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{9\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=3\colon \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{13\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{13\pi}{8})) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{13\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

The four roots in exponential form are

z0 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*π/8)

z1 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*5π/8)

z2 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*9π/8)

z3 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*13π/8)

The difference between three times a number and 7 is 14

Stels [109]

3x -7 = 14

3x - 7 (+7) = 14 (+7)

3x = 21

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7

hope this helps
