Answer:

x = 8.75, y = 8.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{8}{5}$ = $\frac{14}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

8x = 70 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 8.75

And

$\frac{8}{5}$ = $\frac{13}{y}$ ( cross- multiply )

8y = 65 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = 8.125

You would do the parenthesis first and then outside the parenthesis and for the second one you multiply -3 by the answer for the parenthesis

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation. x2 − 4xy + y2 = 4

alekssr [168]

2x -4xydy/dx+ 2ydy/dx= 0
(2y-4xy) dy/dx = -2x
dy/dx = -2x / 2y-4xy

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2-16=0

maks197457 [2]

Good evening.

This is a incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 = 0}$

Add 16 to both sides:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16}\\ \\ \mathsf{x^2 = 16}$

Take the square root:

$\mathsf{\sqrt {x^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\boxed{\mathsf{x = \pm4} }}$

Therefore:

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{S=\{-4, \ +4\}}}}$
