Answer: The length is 5 times the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of rectangle = $5x^2=(5x)(x)$

Here x must be a positive real number since it can not be negative.

Also for area of rectangle = $length \times width$

And length is always greater than width of rectangle, therefore in the given expression 'x' must be width and '5x' must be length of rectangle .

[∵ for every positive x , 5x>x]

Hence, the coefficient 5 means the length is 5 times the width.

Answer:

${ \rm{y = \frac{3 \sqrt{x} + 2x}{ {4x}^{2} } }} \\$

• We are gonna use the quotient rule

${ \boxed{ \bf{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ {\huge{v} } \frac{du}{dx} - { \huge{u}} \frac{dv}{dx} }{ {v}^{2} } }}} \\$

u is (3√x + 2x)
v is 4x²
du/dx is 3/2√x
dv/dx is 8x

• Therefore:

${ \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(4 {x}^{2})( \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{x} }) - (3 \sqrt{x} + 2x)(8x) }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(6 {x}^{2})( {x}^{ - \frac{1}{2} } ) - (24 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } + 16 {x}^{2} ) }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ 6 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - {24x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - {16x}^{2} }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ - 18 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - 16 {x}^{2} }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = - 2 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } (9 + 8 {x}^{ \frac{4}{3} } ) \div 16 {x}^{4} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \rm{ \: \: \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{8 \sqrt{ {x}^{ \frac{8}{3} }} + 9}{8x {}^{ \frac{8}{3} } } \: \: }}}}$

A minor league baseball team plays 72 games in a season. If the team won 15 more than twice as many games as they lost, how many

Alina [70]

X = games won
y = games lost

x + y = 72
x = 2y + 15

2y + 15 + y = 72
3y + 15 = 72
3y = 72 - 15
3y = 57
y = 57/3
y = 19 <=== lost games

x = 2y + 15
x = 2(19) + 15
x = 53 <=== won games
