The length of the rug is 4 ft.

The width of the rug is 2.5 ft.

Explanation:

The area of the rug is 10 ft.

The length of the rug be l.

Let us convert the inches to feet.

Thus, 18 inches =  1.5 ft

Thus, the length of the rug is l=1.5+w

Let the width of the rug be w.

Substituting these values in the formula of area of the rectangle, we get,

A=length\times width

10=(1.5+w)(w)\\10=1.5w+w^2\\w^2+1.5w-10=0

Solving the expression using the quadratic formula,

$w=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Substituting the values, we have,

$w=\frac{-15 \pm \sqrt{15^{2}-4 \cdot 10(-100)}}{2 \cdot 10}\\

$w=\frac{-15 \pm \sqrt{4225}}{20}$

$w=\frac{-15 \pm 65}{2 0}$

Thus,

w=\frac{-15 + 65}{2 0}\\w=\frac{50}{20} \\w=2.5  and   w=\frac{-15 - 65}{2 0}\\w=\frac{-80}{20} \\w=-4

Since, the value of w cannot be negative, the value of w is 2.5ft

Thus, the width of the rug is 2.5ft

Substituting w=2.5 in l=1.5+w, we get,

l=1.5+2.5\\l=4

Thus, the length of the rug is 4 ft.

Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative with respect to x of the function y= (sin x)^lnx
Helga [31]
Logarithmic differentiation means tAke logarithm of both sides to make the function easier to find the derivative.

y = (sinx)^lnx

ln(y) = ln((sinx)^lnx)

power rule logarithm

ln(y) = ln(x) ln(sinx)

Take derivative

y'/y = ln(sinx)(1/x) + ln(x) cosx/sinx

multiply both sides by y

y' = y( ln(sinx)/x + ln(x)cotx )

remember y = (sinx)^lnx
sub this in for y

y' = (ln(sinx)/x + ln(x)cotx)(sinx)^lnx

FUNCTION OR NOT /// ALGEBRA I
guapka [62]

Answer:

First figure: The graph is not a function

Second figure:

Statement 1: It is false

Statement 2: It is false

Statement 3: It is right

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph is not a function.

The domain of it is ⇒ 0 ≤ x < 3 , 3 < x ≤ 6 , 6 ≤ x < 9

From the domain ⇒ x = 6 has two corresponding values of y⇒ 3 and 4

∴ It is not a function because every x must have one and only one

  corresponding value of y

Second figure

{(3 , 6) , (4 , 6) , (5 , 7) , (6 , 8) , (7 , 10) , (8 , 10)}

<u>Statement 1</u>: It is false because we use x-value to check function or not.

The relation is a function because every x-value has one corresponding

y-value

<u>Statement 2</u>: It is false because 3 ≤ x ≤ 8 means we will use for x all real numbers from 3 to 8 not only the integers 3 , 4 , 5 , 6, ,7 , 8

The domain of this function is { 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 }

<u>Statement 3</u>: It is right because the range is the y-value and all the y-value in the function are 6 , 7 , 8 , 10
