For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537

Multiply and Simplify:

x+x+1+x+2=537

3x+3=537

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x+3-3=537-3

3x=534

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3=537/3

x=179

179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537

180 is the third number.

Find the maximum rate of change of f at the given point and the direction in which it occurs. f(x, y) = 4y sqrt (x) , (4, 5) max

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Remember that the maximum rate of change of f at a point u is the length of the of the gradient vector evaluate in u, and the direction in which it occurs is in direction of the gradient vector evaluate in u.

The gradient vector of f is

$\triangledown f(x,y)=(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y})=(2yx^{-\frac{1}{2}}, 4\sqrt x)$

Then, the maximum rate of change is $|\triangledown f(4,5)|=|(2*5*4^{-\frac{1}{2}}, 4\sqrt 4)|=|(5,8)|=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=\sqrt89$ in the direction of (5,8).

Verify cot x sec^4x=cotx +2tanx +tan^3x

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify that:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) + 2 \tan(x) + { \tan}^{3} x$

Verifying from left, we have

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) \: ( 1 + { \tan}^{2} x )^{2}$

Expand the perfect square in the right:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) \: ( 1 + { 2\tan}^{2} x + { \tan}^{4} x)$

We expand to get:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) \: + \cot(x){ 2\tan}^{2} x +\cot(x) { \tan}^{4} x$

We simplify to get:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) \: + 2 \frac{ \cos(x) }{\sin(x) ) } \times \frac{{ \sin}^{2} x}{{ \cos}^{2} x} +\frac{ \cos(x) }{\sin(x) ) } \times \frac{{ \sin}^{4} x}{{ \cos}^{4} x}$

Cancel common factors:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) \: + 2 \frac{{ \sin}x}{{ \cos}x} +\frac{{ \sin}^{3} x}{{ \cos}^{3} x}$

This finally gives:

$\cot(x) \: { \sec}^{4} x = \cot(x) + 2 \tan(x) + { \tan}^{3} x$

Evaluate 2.43+51.62+124.77

Damm [24]

2.43 + 1.62 + 124.77 = 178.82 Because all you have to do is add up all the numbers (Don't take the decimals out, leave them in) And then you get: 178.82.

Hope I helped!
