-2(bx - 5) = 16 What’s does b and x equal?

1 answer:

3 0

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
 When you solve for bx, you have:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13

When you solve for b, you obtain:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)

When yoo solve for x:
2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)

Use the graph of the derivative of f to locate the critical points x0 at which f has neither a local maximum nor a local minimum

jok3333 [9.3K]

Critical points are where the derivative is 0, i.e. where it crosses the x - axis

The Critical points lies where the derivative is 0, while it crosses the x-axis, SO, in this case the choice 3 looks like best answer for this.

If CDE ~ GDF, find ED

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$
