Answer:

See the attached figure which represents the problem.

As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.

△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)

△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

∴ A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC

using scissors method

∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC

Find the slope of the graph below and provide an explanation on how you found it.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points

(1,0) and (3,-1)

Then use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-1 -0)/(3-1)

= -1 /2

The sum of two numbers is 36. the first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?

Digiron [165]

6 and 30. 6 is 1/5 of thirty. If the first number is x,that means that the second number is 5x. Combine like terms. 6x = 36. 36/6 = 6. x = 6. The first number is 6. the second number is 5x. Replace x with 6. 5 * 6 = 30. 30 is the second number.

Find dy/dx for 4 - xy = y^3

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{y}{3y^2+x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4-xy=y^3

dy/dx=?

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