How to do this plastic help

liraira [26]

Answer:

39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

by seeing the diagram in the attachment, we can see that the angles UWV and VWX are on straight line or, their sum makes 180 degrees.

we also know that sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

by using the first statement,

UWV + VWX = 180

UWV + 6x-3 = 180

UWV = 180+3-6x

= 183-6x

by using second statement,

UWV+WVU+VUW=180

substituting the values,

183-6x+2x+5+x+13=180

201-3x=180

substracting 180 from both sides,

21=3x

dividing both the sides by 3,

7=x

the angle VWX=6x-3

substituting 7=x,

VWX=6(7)-3= 39.

How do you find the x intercepts of 3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3)

kaheart [24]

Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.

3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0

Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.

In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.

To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have

4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as

4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)

Then

4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)

Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?

My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?

Find the values of m and b that make the following function differentiable.

Sonbull [250]

The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is 2x=6 approaching from the left side (apply power rule to y=x^2). The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is m approaching from the right side. In order for the function to be differentiable, the limit of derivative at x=3 must be the same approaching from both sides, so m=6. Then, x^2=mx+b at x=3, plug in m=6, 9=18+b, so b=-9.

Charlie bought 40 oz of flour for his bakery. He used 18.3 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.95 oz for each muffin. How many muf

Furkat [3]

Division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations. With the leftover flour of 7.45oz, charlie can make approximately 8 muffins.

<h3>What is Division?</h3>

The division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations, which tells us how the numbers are combined to form a new one.

A.) The total flour Charlie has was 40 oz, out of this he used 18.3 oz of flour. The amount of flour left now would be 21.7 (40-18.3).

Since a single muffin uses 0.95 oz of flour, therefore, the number of muffins Charlie made will be,

Number of muffins = 21.7/0.95 = 22.84 ≈ 23 muffins

B.) When Charlie had 7.45 oz of flour leftover, then the number of muffins would be,

Number of muffins = 7.45/0.95 = 7.84 ≈ 8 muffins

Hence, with the leftover flour of 7.45oz charlie can make approximately 8 muffins.
