$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x-3y=2&|\text{add 3y to both sides}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x=3y+2&|\text{divide both sides by 4}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=0.75y+0.5&(*)\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to the second equation}\\\\3(0.75y+0.5)+5y=16\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(3)(0.75x)+(3)(0.5)+5y=16\\\\2.25y+1.5+5y=16\qquad\text{subtract 1.5 from both sides}\\\\7.25y=14.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7.25}$

$\boxed{y=2}\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to}\ (*):\\\\x=0.75(2)+0.5\\\\x=1.5+0.5\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\Answer:\ x=2\ and\ y=2\to(2,\ 2)$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes for the first roll, 6 possible outcomes for the second roll, and 2 possible outcomes for the coin flip. Since all of the events are independent, you can simply multiply these together to get a total of 72 outcomes. Hope this helps!

Differentiate the function. f(x) = ln(25 sin^2(x))

tigry1 [53]

Use the chain rule.
Let u = 25sin²(x), such that dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{25sin^{2}(x)} \cdot 50cos(x) \cdot sin(x)$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2cos(x) sin(x)}{sin^{2}(x)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2cot(x)$
