Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle given its altitude is six inches long.

1 answer:

8 0

An equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.
The altitude divides it into two 30 60 90 triangles.
The altitude is the "middle side" of such a triangle.
When that is the case, the middle side divided by the square root of 3 = the short side and multiplied by (2/sq root (3)) equals the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the side of the equilateral triangle.
So, 6 * 2 / (sq root of 3) = 6.9282032303

Find the derivative of the inverse function of the original function f(x)=(x+1)^3-5

____ [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x)=y

$y=(x+1)^{3} -5\\flip ~x~and~y\\x=(y+1)^{3}-5\\(y+1)^{3}=x+5\\y=(x+5)^{\frac{1}{3} } -1\\or~f^{-1}(x)=(x+5)^{\frac{1}{3} } -1\\(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac{1}{3} (x+5)^{\frac{-2}{3} }$
