Reggie currently has a square rug in his living room. He is moving soon and has determined that for his new living room, he will

need a rug that has a width that is two feet shorter than his current rug and a length that is five feet longer than his current rug. Let x represents the side measure of Reggie's current rug, in feet. Determine the equation that represents the area, y, in square feet, of the rug needed for his new living room.

Reggie currently has a square shaped rug in his living room. The side lengths of square are all equal. The length of a side of a square is given to be x feet.
So length and width of current rug are x feet and x feet respectively.

For his new room, he needs a rug that is 2 feet shorter in width than his current rug. So the width of new rug will be (x - 2) feet. The length of his new rug will be 5 feet more than the length of his current rug. So the length of new rug will be (x + 5) feet.

The new rug will have unequal length and width, hence it will be rectangular in shape. The area of new rug will be:

Area = Length x Width

y = (x + 5)(x - 2) square feet

This equation represents the Area of the rug Reggie needs for his new room.

To find the derivative of this function, there is a property that we should know called the Constant Multiple Rule, which says:

\dfrac{d}{dx}[cf(x)] = cf'(x) (where c is a constant)


Remember that the derivative of \csc(x) is -\csc(x)\cot(x). However, you may notice that we are finding the derivative of \dfrac{1}{2}\csc(2x), not \dfrac{1}{2} \csc(x). So, we are going to have to use the chain rule. To complete the chain rule for the derivative of a trigonometric function (in layman's terms) is basically the following: First, complete the derivative of the trig function as you would if what was inside the trig function is x. Then, take the derivative of what's inside of the trig function and multiply it by what you found in the first step.


Let's apply that to our problem. Right now, I am not going to worry about the \dfrac{1}{2} at the front of the equation, since we can just multiply it back in at the end of our problem. So, let's examine \csc(2x). We see that what's inside the trig function is 2x, which has a derivative of 2. Thus, let's first find the derivative of \csc(2x) as if 2x was just x and then multiply it by 2.


The derivative of \csc(2x) would first be -\cot(2x)\csc(2x). Multiplying it by 2, we get our derivative of -2\cot(2x)\csc(2x). However, don't forget to multiply it by the \dfrac{1}{2} that we removed near the beginning. This gives us our final derivative of -\cot(2x)\csc(2x).


Remember that we now have to find the derivative at the given point. To do this, simply "plug in" the point into the derivative using the x-coordinate. This is shown below:

-\cot[2(\dfrac{\pi}{4})]\csc[2(\dfrac{\pi}{4})]

-\cot(\dfrac{\pi}{2})\csc(\dfrac{\pi}{2})

-(0)(1) = \boxed{0}


Our final answer is 0.

Teddy will buy at least 15 bags of ice for the graduation picnic. Each large bag of ice costs $4.00, and each small bag of ice c
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of large bags be x

Let number of large bags be x

Teddy will buy at least 15 bags of ice for the graduation picnic.

Each large bag of ice costs $4.00, and each small bag of ice costs $2.50. He will spend up to $50 on ice. The set of inequalities that describe this scenario are

4x + 2.5y lesser than or equal 50

x + y greater than 15

The combination of bags of ice that Teddy can buy is

b) 6 large bags and 10 small bags

From the option b, the total number of large and small bags is greater than 15 and the total cost is 49( it doesn't exceed 50)

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation

The highest degree of a quadratic equation or polynomial always determine the number of factors or zeros that such polynomial have.'

For the polynomial 2x^4+6x-5

You can see that the leading degree is 4. Hence the polynomial will have 4 roots and factors
