It is negative only when the number itself is negative.
hence, sometimes.

Dividing negative exponents is almost the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.

You are given the following equation.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 4x²+ 49y² = 196

a) Differentiating implicitly with respect to y, we have;

$8x + 98y\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\\98y\frac{dy}{dx} = -8x\\49y\frac{dy}{dx} = -4x\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{49y}$

b) To solve the equation explicitly for y and differentiate to get dy/dx in terms of x,

First let is make y the subject of the formula from the equation;

If 4x²+ 49y² = 196

49y² = 196 - 4x²

$y^{2} = \frac{196}{49} - \frac{4x^{2} }{49} \\y = \sqrt{\frac{196}{49} - \frac{4x^{2} }{49} \\} \\$

Differentiating y with respect to x using the chain rule;

Let $u= \frac{196}{49} - \frac{4x^{2} }{49}$

$y = \sqrt{u} \\y =u^{1/2} \\$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du} * \frac{du}{dx}$

$\frac{dy}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-1/2} \\$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 0 - \frac{8x}{49} \\\frac{du}{dx} =\frac{-8x}{49} \\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{196}{49} - \frac{4x^{2} }{49})^{-1/2} * \frac{-8x}{49}\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{196-4x^{2} }{49})^{-1/2} * \frac{-8x}{49}\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} ( \sqrt{ \frac{49}{196-4x^{2} })} * \frac{-8x}{49}\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} *{ \frac{7}\sqrt {196-4x^{2} }} * \frac{-8x}{49}\\$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{7\sqrt{196-4x^{2} } }$

c) From the solution of the implicit differentiation in (a)

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{49y}$

Substituting $y = \sqrt{\frac{196}{49} - \frac{4x^{2} }{49} \\$ into the equation to confirm the answer of (b) can be shown as follows

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{49\sqrt{\frac{196-4x^{2} }{49} } }\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{49\sqrt{196-4x^{2}}/7} }\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4x}{7\sqrt{196-4x^{2}}}$

This shows that the answer in a and b are consistent.

2. At a rate of 50 mph, a car travels a distance

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 480 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

first you divide 600 by 50 and thats the amount of hours.

600 / 50 = 12

then multiply 40 x 12 and you got your answer. :)

40 x 12 = 480 therefore your answer is 480
