Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the number X

x/5 is the fifth part of that number

I propose equality:

x + x/5 = 17

we add the fractions on the left side:

6x/5 = 17

We pass 5 to multiply to the other side:

6x = 5 * 17

6x = 85

we clear x

x = 85/6

x = 14.17

test

14.17 + 2.83 = 17

okay

Answer:

14.1666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation as:

x + x/5 = 17

=> 5/5x + 1/5x = 17

=> 6/5x = 17

=> 6x = 17 * 5

=> 6x = 85

=> x = 85/6

=> x = 14.1666666667

Let's check whether our answer is correct

=> 14.1666666667 + 14.1666666667 / 5 = 17

=> 14.1666666667 + 2.83333333333 = 17

=> 17 = 17

So, the answer is 14.1666666667

Find gradient xe^y + 4 ln y = x² at (1, 1)

cricket20 [7]

$xe^y+4\ln y=x^2$

Differentiate both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x).

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y+4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\mathrm d(4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x)}{\mathrm dx}e^y+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$e^y+xe^y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

Solve for dy/dx :

$e^y+\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-e^y$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x-e^y}{xe^y+\frac4y}$

If y ≠ 0, we can write

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2xy-ye^y}{xye^y+4}$

At the point (1, 1), the derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=1,y=1}=\boxed{\dfrac{2-e}{e+4}}$
