a) \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{16x}{25y}

b) \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{4x}{25\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}}

c) The two expressions match

Answer:

a)

The equation in this problem is

16x^2+25y^2=400

Here, we want to find \frac{dy}{dx} by implicit differentiation.

To do that, we apply the operator \frac{d}{dx} on each term of the equation. We have:

\frac{d}{dx}(16 x^2)=32x

\frac{d}{dx}(25y^2)=50y \frac{dy}{dx} (by applying composite function rule)

\frac{d}{dx}(400)=0

Therefore, the equation becomes:

32x+50y\frac{dy}{dx}=0

And re-arranging for dy/dx, we get:

50\frac{dy}{dx}=-32x\\\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{32x}{50y}=-\frac{16x}{25y}

b)

Now we want to solve the equation explicitly for y and then differentiate to find dy/dx. The equation is:

16x^2+25y^2=400

First, we isolate y, and we find:

25y^2=400-16x^2\\y^2=16-\frac{16}{25}x^2

And taking the square root,

y=\pm \sqrt{16-\frac{16}{25}x^2}=\pm 4\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}

Here we are told to consider only the first and second quadrants, so those where y > 0; so we only take the positive root:

y=4\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}

Now we differentiate this function to find dy/dx; using the chain rule, we get:

\frac{dy}{dx}=4[\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{x^2}{25})^{-\frac{1}{2}}\cdot(-\frac{2x}{25})]=-\frac{4x}{25\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}} (2)

c)

Now we want to check if the two solutions are consistent.

To do that, we substitute the expression that we found for y in part b:

y=4\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}

Into the solution found in part a:

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{16x}{25y}

Doing so, we find:

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{16x}{25(4\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}})}=-\frac{4x}{25\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{25}}} (1)

We observe that expression (1) matches with expression (2) found in part b: therefore, we can conclude that the two solutions are coeherent with each other.

The probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube 2/6. Jennifer rolls a number cube 60 times how many times shoul
Savatey [412]

Answer:

20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube:

Required outcome = (1, 2)

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 2 /6

= 1/3

Hence, if number cube is rolled 60 times, number of times a number less than 3 is expected :

(Probability of obtaining a number less than 3 in one roll × number of rolls)

= (1 / 3) × 60

= 60 / 3

= 20 times

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Which equation models t
Zanzabum

Answer:  [H+] = 10^-7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the PH of the solution = 7.2

Using the formula pH = –log[H+]. To get the H+ concentration from the pH, raise both sides by the base of 10. Then we have

10^ -pH = H+. with pH of 7.2,

Thus the answer to this problem is

[H+] = 10^-7.2
