So, the triangle is equilateral, all its sides are equal⇒

AB=BC=AC=8

In an equilateral triangle, the height is also the median, so it divides the sides into 2 equal parts⇒

AO=OC=8:2=4

by the Pythagorean theorem

$8^2=4^2+BO^2\\BO^2=64-16\\BO=\sqrt{48} \\BO=4\sqrt{3}$

Answer: BO=4√3

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Answer: The required derivative is $\dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$y=\ln[x(2x+3)^2]$

Differentiating log function w.r.t. x, we get that

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{[x(2x+3)^2]}\times [x'(2x+3)^2+(2x+3)^2'x]\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{[x(2x+3)^2]}\times [(2x+3)^2+2x(2x+3)]\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{4x^2+9+12x+4x^2+6x}{x(2x+3)^2}\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}$

Hence, the required derivative is $\dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}$

Determine the average rate of change from 0 to 4 for the function f(x)=2^x-3

IrinaVladis [17]

If the question meant f(x)=2^(x) -3 then the answer should be 1 over 4 or 1/4

For each sequence write an explicit formula 96,48,24,12,6

STALIN [3.7K]

$a_1=96;\ a_2=48;\ a_3=24;\ a_4=12;\ a_5=6\\\\a_1=a_2:2\to96:2=48\\a_2=a_3:2\to48:2=24\\a_3=a_2:2\to24:2=12\\a_4=a_3:2\to12:2=6\\\\therefore\\\\a_n=96:2^{n-1}=\frac {96}{2^{n-1}}\\\\check:\\a_1=\frac{96}{2^{1-1}}=\frac{96}{1^0}=96\\a_2=\frac{96}{2^{2-1}}=\frac{96}{2^1}=\frac{96}{2}=48\\a_3=\frac{96}{2^{3-1}}=\frac{96}{2^2}=\frac{96}{4}=24\\\vdots$

Write a division problem. Show two different ways that you can estimate the quotient using compatible numbers.

Levart [38]

98 divided by 7

1. 98-round to 100
7-round to 10

100 divided by 10=10

So 98 divided by 7 is about 10

That is one way

The height of two similar pails are 12cm and 8cm.The larger pail can hold 2litres. What is the capacity of the smaller pail?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters
