A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. Let theta be the angle between the top of the ladder and the wall and let be

the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall, how fast does x change with respect to theta when theta=pi/3?

Answer:

5 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the ladder. The relation between the angle and distance X is:

X = L * sin θ      the change of X will be:

dX/dt = L * cos θ    If we evaluate the expression when θ = π/3, we get the change of X:

dX/dt = 10 * cos(π/3)

dX/dt = 5 ft/s

Find all real solutions to the equation (x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} ;  x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Relation given in the question:

(x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0

Now,

for the above relation to be true the  following condition must be followed:

Either  (x² − 6x +3) = 0 ............(1)

or

(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0 ..........(2)

now considering the equation (1)

(x² − 6x +3) = 0

the roots can be found out as:

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0

thus,

the roots are

x = \frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\times1\times(3)}}{2\times(1)}

or

x = \frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-12}}{2}

or

x = \frac{6+\sqrt{24}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{6-\sqrt{24}}{2}

or

x = \frac{6+2\sqrt{6}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{6-2\sqrt{6}}{2}

or

x = 3 + √6 and x = 3 - √6

similarly for (2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.

we have

the roots are

x = \frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times2\times(-7)}}{2\times(2)}

or

x = \frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+56}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+\sqrt{72}}{4} and, x = x = \frac{4-\sqrt{72}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{4-\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{4-(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{4}

or

x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} and, x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}

Hence, the possible roots are

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} ; x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}

The table represents an exponential function.
Stels [109]

The exponential function is given in the form

y= a (b)^{x}

where a is the initial value and b is the multiplicative rate of change

So lets plug the first two values of the table in this function , we get

2= a(b)^1

or

2= ab............................(eqn 1)

Now plug second

2/5 = a(b)^2 .............................( eqn2)

Divide equation 2 by equation 1

\frac{2=ab}{\frac{2}{5}=ab^2}

On simplifying we get

5= \frac{1}{b}

or

b=\frac{1}{5}

So the multiplicative rate of change of the function is

a) \frac{1}{5}

Solve 4x + 5 = x + 26​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 7

Subtract 5 on both sides to get 4x = x + 21

then, subtract x from 4x and x is 1, so 3x = 21 then divide by 3 on both sides
