Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the x-axis is measured vertically, so you would look at the second number of the coordinates, the y value. Point Z is 15 units below the x-axis.

Can someone thoroughly explain this implicit differentiation with a trig function. No matter how many times I try to solve this,

Anton [14]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)(1+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2))}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$\tan(x-y)=\frac{y}{8+x^2}$

And we want to find dy/dx.

So, let's take the derivative of both sides:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\tan(x-y)]=\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{y}{8+x^2}]$

Let's do each side individually.

Left Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\tan(x-y)]$

We can use the chain rule, where:

$(u(v(x))'=u'(v(x))\cdot v'(x)$

Let u(x) be tan(x). Then v(x) is (x-y). Remember that d/dx(tan(x)) is sec²(x). So:

$=\sec^2(x-y)\cdot (\frac{d}{dx}[x-y])$

Differentiate x like normally. Implicitly differentiate for y. This yields:

$=\sec^2(x-y)(1-y')$

Distribute:

$=\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)$

And that is our left side.

Right Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{y}{8+x^2}]$

We can use the quotient rule, where:

$\frac{d}{dx}[f/g]=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}$

f is y. g is (8+x²). So:

$=\frac{\frac{d}{dx}[y](8+x^2)-(y)\frac{d}{dx}(8+x^2)}{(8+x^2)^2}$

Differentiate:

$=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}$

And that is our right side.

So, our entire equation is:

$\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}$

To find dy/dx, we have to solve for y'. Let's multiply both sides by the denominator on the right. So:

$((8+x^2)^2)\sec^2(x-y)-y'\sec^2(x-y)=\frac{y'(8+x^2)-2xy}{(8+x^2)^2}((8+x^2)^2)$

The right side cancels. Let's distribute the left:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2-y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2=y'(8+x^2)-2xy$

Now, let's move all the y'-terms to one side. Add our second term from our left equation to the right. So:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2=y'(8+x^2)-2xy+y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2$

Move -2xy to the left. So:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy=y'(8+x^2)+y'\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2$

Factor out a y' from the right:

$\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy=y'((8+x^2)+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2)$

Divide. Therefore, dy/dx is:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2}$

We can factor out a (8+x²) from the denominator. So:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=\frac{\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2)^2+2xy}{(8+x^2)(1+\sec^2(x-y)(8+x^2))}$

And we're done!

The radius of a circle is 18 yards. What is the circle's area? Use 3.14 for .

IrinaVladis [17]

Solution:

We know that:

Radius: 18 yards
πr² = Area of circle
π = 3.14

Finding the area of the circle:

(π)(r²) = Area of circle
=> (3.14)(18²) = Area of circle
=> (3.14)(324) = Area of circle
=> Area of circle = 3.14 x 324 = 1017.36 yards²

Divide 33 photos into two groups so that the ratio is 4 to 7

Andre45 [30]

Total ratio = 4+7 = 11
33/11 = 3
4x3 = 12
7x3 = 21
so the two groups are 12:21
which is also = 4:7
