Answer:

Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solution;

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

base of the triangle is x feet;

Base = x

The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;

Height = 5x - 2

the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;

Area A = 12 ft^2

The area of a triangle is;

Area A = 1/2 × base × height

Substituting the base and height;;

Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Area A = 12

12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply through by 2.

24 = (5x^2 - 2x)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solving the simultaneous equation;

x = 2.4 or -2

Since the base cannot be negative;

x = 2.4 ft

Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft

Find the second derivative at the point (2,2), given the function below. 2x^4=4y^3
Bogdan [553]

The second derivative at the point (2,2) is 34/9

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

2x⁴ = 4y³

2x⁴ - 4y³ = 0

We first need to find dy/dx and then d²y/dx²

On differentiating the equation in terms of x

dy/dx = d(2x⁴ - 4y³) / dx

We get,

dy/dx = 2x³/3y²

On differentiating dy/dx we get,

d²y/dx² = 2x²/y² + 8x⁶/9y⁵

\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{2 X 2^2}{2^2} + \frac{8 X 2^6}{9 X 2^5}\\  \\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 2 + \frac{16}{9}\\  \\

d²y/dx² = 34/9

Therefore, the second derivative at the point (2,2) is 34/9

You are picking out an outfit. Which of the following options shows a closet with 24 different possible combinations of outfits?
babymother [125]

Answer:

C, D, E

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need to multiply the numbers together.  Whichever choice is equal to 24, is your answer

So when you multiply for each one...

A is 36

B is 48

C is 24

D is 24

E is 24

So since C, D, E multiply to 24, they are the correct answers.

Find the missing angles using either the triangle sum theorem (a2+b2=c2) or inverse trigonometric ratios
insens350 [35]

using trigonometry:-

cos of angle ? = 7/16

so ? = arccos 7/16 = 64.06 degrees


The other angle is 90 - 64.06 = 25.94 degrees
