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.
adoni [48]

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}

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
