3x(x-8)=-12
x(x-8)=-4
x²-8x+4=0

USE QUADRATIC FORMULA:

x=(−b±√(b2−4ac))/2a
x=4+2√3 or x=4−2√3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a related rates problem from calculus using implicit differentiation. The main equation is Pythagorean's Theorem. Basically, what we are looking for is $\frac{dx}{dt}$ when y = 6 and $\frac{dy}{dt}=-2$ .

The equation for Pythagorean's Theorem is

$x^2+y^2=c^2$ where x and y are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The length of the hypotenuse is 10, so when we find the derivative of this function with respect to time, and using implicit differentiation, we get:

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ and divide everything by 2 to simplify:

$x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ . Looking at that equation, it looks like we need a value for x, y, $\frac{dx}{dt}$ and $\frac{dy}{dt}$ .

Since we are looking for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ , that can be our only unknown and everything else has to have a value. So what do we know?

If we construct a right triangle with 10 as the hypotenuse and use 6 for y, we can solve for x (which is the only unknown we have, actually). Using Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for x:

$x^2+6^2=10^2$ and
