Answer:

x =6

Step-by-step explanation: Q is the midpoint of PR.

Therefore PQ = QR

3 x + 14 = 7 x -10

-14 -14

3 x = 7 x-24

-7x -7x

-4x = -24 Divide both sides by -4

x = 6

2 over 5 x= 10 solve for x show your work

Sphinxa [80]

$\frac{2}{5}x= 10$

We need to solve for x

To get x alone we need to remove the denominator 5

To remove denominator 5 we multiply by 5 on both sides

$5*\frac{2}{5}x= 10*5$

2x = 50

2x means 2 times x

2 is multiplied with x. so to remove 2 we divide by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}= \frac{50}{2}$

So x= 25

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(t) = 2 cos(t) + sin(2t),[0, π/2].

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The absolute maximum is $\frac{3\sqrt 3}2$ and the absolute minimum value is $0.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiate of $f$ both sides w.r.t. $t$ ,

$f(t)=2 \cos t+\sin 2t$

$\Rightarrow f'(t)=-2\sin t+2\cos 2t$

Now take $f'(t)=0$

$\Rightarrow -2\sin t+2\cos 2t=0$

$\Rightarrow 2\cos 2t=2\sin t$

$\Rightarrow \cos 2t=\sin t$

$\Rightarrow 1-2\sin ^2t =\sin t \quad \quad [\because \cos 2t = 1-2\sin ^2t]$

$\Rightarrow 2\sin ^2t+\sin t-1=0$

$\Rightarrow 2\sin ^2t+2\sin t-\sin t-1=0$

$\Rightarrow 2\sin t(\sin t+1)-1(\sin t+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow (\sin t+1)(2\sin t-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow \sin t+1=0 \;\text{and}\; 2\sin t-1=0$

$\Rightarrow \sin t =-1 \;\text{and}\; \sin t =\frac 12$

In the interval $0\leq t\leq \frac {\pi}2$ , the answer to this problem is $\frac {\pi}6$

Now find the second derivative of $f(t)$ w.r.t. $t$ ,

$f''(t)=-2\cos t-4\sin 2t$

$\Rightarrow \left[f''(t)\right]_{t=\frac {\pi}6}=-2\times \frac {\sqrt 3}2-4\times \frac{\sqrt 3}2=-3\sqrt 3$

Thus, $f(t)$ is maximum at $t=\frac {\pi}6$ and minimum at $t=0$

$\left[f(t)\right]_{t=\frac {\pi}6}=2\times \frac {\sqrt 3}2+\frac{\sqrt 3}2=\frac{3\sqrt 3}2\;\text{and}\;\left[f(t)\right]_{t=\frac{\pi}2}= 2\times 0+0=0$

Hence, the absolute maximum is $\frac{3\sqrt 3}2$ and the absolute minimum value is $0$ .
