The formula for calculating area of parallelogram is given as:

Area = base x height

So, here in this question,

Base = 3. 5 units

Height = 2 units

Area = 3.5 x 2

= 7 unit^2

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$f(x+h) = \sqrt{x+h} = (x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

We use binomial expansion for $(x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

This can be rewritten as

$[x(1+\dfrac{h}{x})]^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

From the expansion

$(1+x)^n=1+nx+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2!}+\ldots$

Setting $x=\dfrac{h}{x}$ and $n=\frac{1}{2}$ ,

$(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+(\dfrac{h}{x})(\dfrac{1}{2})+\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{2})}{2!}(\dfrac{h}{x})^2+\tldots$

$=1+\dfrac{h}{2x}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^2}+\ldots$

Multiplying by $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ ,

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}+\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

$\dfrac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

The limit of this as $h\to 0$ is

$\lim_{h\to0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$ (since all the other terms involve $h$ and vanish to 0.)

Please help I’m stuck on this question

It helps demonstrate it since it forms a right triangle in the middle with 2 base lengths and a hypotenuse. The areas of the squares can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem in order to find the answer

The number of pieces of 1/3 foot tall to make a 6 feet skyscraper is 18 pieces.

The model of a skyscraper comes in pieces and each piece is 1/3 feet tall.

After all the pieces are put together the skyscraper is 6 feet tall.

We have to calculate how many pieces were put together to make the 6 feet skyscraper.

Let X be the number of pieces put together to make a 6 feet skyscraper.

Now,

Each piece = 1/3 feet tall.

Since all the pieces together make 6 feet tall, we can write the number of pieces needed to make 6 feet tall as:

X x (1/3) = 6

X = 6 x 3 = 18

Thus, we need 18 pieces of 1/3 foot tall to make a 6 feet skyscraper.

Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

I multiplied 18.6 by the answer choices that should give me 100.44. But the shortcut to this is to divide the area by it’s height.
