Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So,

=> The sum of number and 15 is x + 15

=> Three times will be 3(x+15)

Given that it equals 24

So, the given condition is:

3(x+15) = 24

Resolving Parenthesis

3x + 45 = 24

Subtracting 45 to both sides

3x = 24 - 45

3x = -21

Dividing both sides by 3

x = -7

Find f'(x) if f(x) = (2/(x^1/3)) + 3 cos x + x^pi

galben [10]

The derivative of $f$ is

$f'(x)=\left(2x^{-1/3}+3\cos x+x^\pi\right)'$

$f'(x)=\left(2x^{-1/3}\right)'+(3\cos x)'+\left(x^\pi\right)'$

By the power rule,

$f'(x)=-\dfrac23x^{-4/3}+(3\cos x)'+\pi x^{\pi-1}$

The derivative of $\cos x$ is $-\sin x$ :

$f'(x)=-\dfrac23x^{-4/3}-3\sin x+\pi x^{\pi-1}$

The answer is 8, that line is 180° and we know 140. 180-140=40 and it’s 5x so that leaves us with 5x=40. divide 5 on both sides leaving 8
