Answer:hi

Step-by-step explanation:Let me first warn you that I CANNOT get the denominators of this problem to go underneath the numerators. It looks good on my answer page but when I click "preview your answer" the denominators are ALL over the place. Grrrrr.

I think the weirdly placed denominators make this explanation hard to understand but you give this a go and see if you understand things. If it is too hard to see, maybe this website will let you instant message me or email me. If so, then I will send you the solution via email. I'm very sorry the denominators are SO scattered.

See what you think of the explanations below but it might help if you write down my answer on paper, so that you can move the number to rest more closely under their proper numerators. :-)

Ok then......

Let's start with your first problem. A quick way to do this work is to cross multiply. Here's what I mean:

__3___ = __6___

r - 1 r + 2

Ok, so you can cross multiply:

3(r + 2) = 6(r - 1) (cross multiply)

3r + 6 = 6r - 6 (use the distributive property)

Now you will have to put the "r" variables on the left side of the equal sign and numbers without variables on the right side of the equal sign. To get 6r from the right side to the left, you can subtract 6r from the right side. If you subtract it from the right, you must subtract it from the left.....

To get 6 from the left side to the right, you can subtract it from the left. If you subtract it from the left, you must subtract it on the right.....

So now you have:

3r - 6r = -6 - 6 This becomes.........

- 3r = -12

Now to solve for "r" you will have to divide by -3. Why? Well, -3r is really saying: -3 times r. The -3 and the r are actually being multiplied together so to isolate the "r" you have to sort of "undo" the multiplication. What is the opposite of multiplication? It's DIVISION. Soooo, you must divide by -3 on both sides. SO you have:

- 3r = -12

r = 4 (-12 divided by -3 is a positive 4)

Now you know "r" equals 4. If we "plug" 4 back into the original equation, we can see the answer is correct. Check this out:

__3___ = __6___ (original equation)

r - 1 r + 2

__3___ = __6___ (substitute "4" in for "r"

4 - 1 4 + 2

__3___ = __6___ (do the math in the denominator area)

 

3 6

1 = 1 (3/3 equals 1 and 6/6 also equals 1, so our

solution that r = 4 is correct!) :-)

Now to your 2nd problem..........

4/2x-5 = 24/2x

___4___ = __24___

2x � 5 2x

Let's cross multiply again:

4(2x) = 24(2x - 5)

8x = 48x - 120

8x - 48x = - 120

-40x = - 120

(divide both sides by -40)

x = 3

Now let's "plug" 3 in where we had the variable "x" in the original equation to see if we are correct.

___4___ = __24___ (original equation)

2x � 5 2x

___4___ = __24___ (substituted 3 for "x")

2(3) � 5 2(3)

___4___ = __24___

6 - 5 6

___4___ = __24___

1 6

4 = 4

SO once again we have found the correct answer. Yay for us! :-)

I hope this helps. :-)

Answer:

r=9

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-8(6-r)=24

Divide both sides by -8:

6-r=-3

Subtract 6 from both sides:

-r=-9

Divide both sides by -1:

r=9

And we're done!

Leona [35]

Answer:

a. 5 b. y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{2} c. 148.5 d. 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

Show all of your work, even though the question may not explicitly remind you to do so. Clearly label any functions, graphs, tables, or other objects that you use. Justifications require that you give mathematical reasons, and that you verify the needed conditions under which relevant theorems, properties, definitions, or tests are applied. Your work will be scored on the correctness and completeness of your methods as well as your answers. Answers without supporting work will usually not receive credit. Unless otherwise specified, answers (numeric or algebraic) need not be simplified. If your answer is given as a decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point. Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers for which f() is a real number Let f be an increasing function with f(0) = 2. The derivative of f is given by f'(x) = sin(πx) + x² +3. (a) Find f" (-2) (b) Write an equation for the line tangent to the graph of y = 1/f(x) at x = 0. (c) Let I be the function defined by g(x) = f (√(3x² + 4). Find g(2). (d) Let h be the inverse function of f. Find h' (2). Please respond on separate paper, following directions from your teacher.

Solution

a. f"(2)

f"(x) = df'(x)/dx = d(sin(πx) + x² +3)/dx = cos(πx) + 2x

f"(2) = cos(π × 2) + 2 × 2

f"(2) = cos(2π) + 4

f"(2) = 1 + 4

f"(2) = 5

b. Equation for the line tangent to the graph of y = 1/f(x) at x = 0

We first find f(x) by integrating f'(x)

f(x) = ∫f'(x)dx = ∫(sin(πx) + x² +3)dx = -cos(πx)/π + x³/3 +3x + C

f(0) = 2 so,

2 = -cos(π × 0)/π + 0³/3 +3 × 0 + C

2 = -cos(0)/π + 0 + 0 + C

2 = -1/π + C

C = 2 + 1/π

f(x) = -cos(πx)/π + x³/3 +3x + 2 + 1/π

f(x) = [1-cos(πx)]/π + x³/3 +3x + 2

y = 1/f(x) = 1/([1-cos(πx)]/π + x³/3 +3x + 2)

The tangent to y is thus dy/dx

dy/dx = d1/([1-cos(πx)]/π + x³/3 +3x + 2)/dx

dy/dx = -([1-cos(πx)]/π + x³/3 +3x + 2)⁻²(sin(πx) + x² +3)

at x = 0,

dy/dx = -([1-cos(π × 0)]/π + 0³/3 +3 × 0 + 2)⁻²(sin(π × 0) + 0² +3)

dy/dx = -([1-cos(0)]/π + 0 + 0 + 2)⁻²(sin(0) + 0 +3)

dy/dx = -([1 - 1]/π + 0 + 0 + 2)⁻²(0 + 0 +3)

dy/dx = -(0/π + 2)⁻²(3)

dy/dx = -(0 + 2)⁻²(3)

dy/dx = -(2)⁻²(3)

dy/dx = -3/4

At x = 0,

y = 1/([1-cos(π × 0)]/π + 0³/3 +3 × 0 + 2)

y = 1/([1-cos(0)]/π + 0 + 0 + 2)

y = 1/([1 - 1]/π + 2)

y = 1/(0/π + 2)

y = 1/(0 + 2)

y = 1/2

So, the equation of the tangent at (0, 1/2) is

\frac{y - \frac{1}{2} }{x - 0} = -\frac{3}{4}  \\y - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{4}x\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{2}

c. If g(x) = f (√(3x² + 4). Find g'(2)

g(x) = f (√(3x² + 4) = [1-cos(π√(3x² + 4)]/π + √(3x² + 4)³/3 +3√(3x² + 4) + 2

g'(x) = [3xsinπ√(3x² + 4) + 18x(3x² + 4) + 9x]/√(3x² + 4)

g'(2) = [3(2)sinπ√(3(2)² + 4) + 18(2)(3(2)² + 4) + 9(2)]/√(3(2)² + 4)

g'(2) = [6sinπ√(12 + 4) + 36(12 + 4) + 18]/√12 + 4)

g'(2) = [6sinπ√(16) + 36(16) + 18]/√16)

g'(2) = [6sin4π + 576 + 18]/4)

g'(2) = [6 × 0 + 576 + 18]/4)

g'(2) = [0 + 576 + 18]/4)

g'(2) = 594/4

g'(2) = 148.5

d. If h be the inverse function of f. Find h' (2)

If h(x) = f⁻¹(x)

then h'(x) = 1/f'(x)

h'(x) = 1/(sin(πx) + x² +3)

h'(2) = 1/(sin(π2) + 2² +3)

h'(2) = 1/(sin(2π) + 4 +3)

h'(2) = 1/(0 + 4 +3)

h'(2) = 1/7
