Answer:

The given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram , then the opposite sides would be equal.

Here we are going to equate the length of  1 pair of opposite sides to find the value of x and use this value of x to verify whether the other pair of opposite sides are equal.

AB = 6x

BC = 3x

DC = x + 15

AD = 9  

Equate AB and CD,

6x = x + 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Now BC and DA should be equal.

BC = 3x = 9

Also DA = 9

As we can see, the other pair of opposite sides are also equal.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

Hence , the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

<h2>Solving Equations</h2>

To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.

  • If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
  • If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
  • Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.

We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.

<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>

5x+7=15

Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:

5x+7-7=15-7\\5x=8

Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:

\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{8}{5}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{5}

Therefore. x=\dfrac{8}{5}.

<h3>Question 2</h3>

7x+4=5x-18

Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:

7x+4-5x=5x-18-5x\\2x+4=-18

To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:

2x+4-4=-18-4\\2x=-22

Divide both sides by 2:

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-22}{2}\\\\x=-11

Therefore, x=-11.

Differentiate<br>y=tan (x^2-5x+6)​
slavikrds [6]

Use the chain rule:

<em>y</em> = tan(<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6)

<em>y'</em> = sec²(<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6) × (<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6)'

<em>y'</em> = (2<em>x</em> - 5) sec²(<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6)

Perhaps more explicitly: let <em>u(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6, so that

<em>y(x)</em> = tan(<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6)   →   <em>y(u(x))</em> = tan(<em>u(x)</em> )

By the chain rule,

<em>y'(x)</em> = <em>y'(u(x))</em> × <em>u'(x)</em>

and we have

<em>y(u)</em> = tan(<em>u</em>)   →   <em>y'(u)</em> = sec²(<em>u</em>)

<em>u(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6   →   <em>u'(x)</em> = 2<em>x</em> - 5

Then

<em>y'(x)</em> = (2<em>x</em> - 5) sec²(<em>u</em>)

or

<em>y'(x)</em> = (2<em>x</em> - 5) sec²(<em>x</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 6)

as we found earlier.
