Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let the side of the original square be x. Then side of the new square = x + 3 and Area of new square = 64 cm²

Area of a square = (side)²

⇒ 64 = (x + 3)²

⇒ 64 = x² + 6x + 9

⇒ x² + 6x - 55 = 0

⇒ x² + 11x - 5x - 55 = 0 (Since 6x = 11x - 5x as part of factorizing)

⇒ x(x + 11) - 5(x + 11) = 0

⇒ (x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = -11 and x = 5 (Lengths can't be negative)

Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 1 + x at a = 0. g(x) ≈ Correct: Your answer is correct. Use it to approxi

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$3.296x+3$

2.835

3.330

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = 3^{1+x}$

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

$L(x) = g(a) + g'(a)(x-a)$

$g'(x)$ is the derivative of $g(x)$ . To find this, we use the form

If $f(x) = a^x$ , then $f'(x) =a^x\ln a$

By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

$g'(x) = 3^{1+x}\ln 3$

Then

$g'(0) = 3^{1+0}\ln 3 = 3.296$

Also $g(0) = 3^{1+0} = 3$

Hence $L(x) = 3+(x-0)\times3.296 = 3.296x + 3$

For $3^{0.95}$ , $1+x = 0.95$ and $x=-0.05$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{0.95} = 3.296(-0.05) + 3 = 2.835$

For $3^{1.1}$ , $1+x = 1.1$ and $x=0.1$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{1.1} = 3.296(0.1) + 3 = 3.330$

Solve the equation : 2x + 7 = 21 and find the value of x. Is 2x + 7 = 21 a first degree equation or not?

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The proposed equation is solved as follows:

2X + 7 = 21

2X = 21 - 7

2X = 14

X = 14 / 2

X = 7

The value of X is 7.

A first degree equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or a product of a fixed term on a single variable. Therefore, this equation is a first degree one, since it only has a single variable, which is X.
