2. Solve 6x = 48 for x. a. x = 8 b. x = 288 c. x = 42 d. x = 54

I need help with this in math right now I'm struggling

kaheart [24]

Answer:

y=-4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

linear function, y = mx+c

the y intercept of the graph,c, is -2

thus y = mx - 2

substitute a point on the graph into the equation, (2,-1)

2 = m(-1) -2

m = - 4

thus equation of graph is y = -4x-2

Find the 2nd Derivative: f(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x² - 8x + 4

ad-work [718]

Answer:

$f''(x)=36x^2+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the first derivative of $f(x)= 3x^4+2x^2-8x+4$ . We can do so by using the power rule for derivatives.

The power rule states that:

$\frac{d}{dx} (x^n) = n \times x^n^-^1$

This means that if you are taking the derivative of a function with powers, you can bring the power down and multiply it with the coefficient, then reduce the power by 1.

Another rule that we need to note is that the derivative of a constant is 0.

Let's apply the power rule to the function f(x).

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4)$

Bring the exponent down and multiply it with the coefficient. Then, reduce the power by 1.

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = ((4)3x^4^-^1+(2)2x^2^-^1-(1)8x^1^-^1+(0)4)$

Simplify the equation.

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x^1-8x^0+0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x-8(1)+0)$

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x-8)$
$f'(x)=12x^3+4x-8$

Now, this is only the first derivative of the function f(x). Let's find the second derivative by applying the power rule once again, but this time to the first derivative, f'(x).

$\frac{d}{d} (f'x) = \frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8)$

$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = ((3)12x^3^-^1 + (1)4x^1^-^1 - (0)8)$

Simplify the equation.

$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4x^0 - 0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4(1) - 0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4 )$

Therefore, this is the 2nd derivative of the function f(x).

We can say that: $f''(x)=36x^2+4$

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4 times the smallest side. The third side is 4√15 cm. Find the length of the smallest side

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

x=4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smallest side

4x=hypotenuse

4√15=third side

use the Pythagorean Theorem

(4x)^2=x^2+(4√15)^2

16x^2=x^2+240

16x^2-x^2=240

15x^2=240

x^2=240/15

x^2=16

x=√16

x=4 cm is the smallest side

the hypotenuse is 16 cm

the third side is 4√15 cm

Find the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6. A) y = 6 because the graph crosses the y-axis at 6. B) y = -0.25 because that

Fofino [41]

Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero's are referencing when y=0, note that when y=0 they are talking about the x-intercepts. You can graph the function and see when the graph crosses the x-axis or solve for the x-values. I will solve it via factoring and so:

$f(x)=x^2+5x+6$

Multiply the outer coefficients, in this case 1 and 6, and 1×6=6. Now let's think about all the factors of 6 we have: 6×1 and 2×3. Now is there a way that if we use any of these factors and add/subtract them they will return the middle term 5? Actually we can say 6-1=5 and 2+3=5. Let's try both.

First let's use 6 and -1 and so:

$x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+6x-x+6\\\\x(x+6)-1(x-6)$

Notice how we have (x+6) and (x-6), these factors do not match so this is incorrect.

Now let's try 2 and 3 and so:

$x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\(x+2)(x+3)$

Notice how the factors (x+3) matched up so this is a factor and so is (x+2), now to solve for the zero's let's make f(x)=0 and solve each factor separately:

Case 1:

$f(x)=x+2\\\\0=x+2\\\\x=-2$

Case 2:

$f(x)=x+3\\\\0=x+3\\\\x=-3$

So your zero's are when x=-2 and x=-3.

D.) x=-3 and x=-2 because the graph crosses the x-axis at -3 and -2.
