A rope is 72 feet long. What is the length of the rope in yards

Lostsunrise [7]

The answer would be 24 yards. This would be 24 because 3 feet equal one yard so 3/72 is 24 or 24•3.

Can someone please help me with this equation, ill give brainest to the person who is correct.

5x means that 5 should be multiplied by the value of x
Every time a variable is touching a number it means it’s multiplying

5x + 8 = ?

If x = 9, you would multiply 5 and 9 which is 45. You then add 45 and 8

45 + 8 = 53

Therefore 5x + 8 = 53

Hope this helps you! :)

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following and are trying to find the second derivative at x = 2:

$\displaystyle f(2) = 2$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 6\sqrt{x^2 + 3y^2}$

We can differentiate the 1st derivative to obtain the 2nd derivative. Let's start by rewriting the 1st derivative:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 6(x^2 + 3y^2)^\big{\frac{1}{2}}$

When we differentiate this, we must follow the Chain Rule: $\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx} \Big[ 6(x^2 + 3y^2)^\big{\frac{1}{2}} \Big] \cdot \frac{d}{dx} \Big[ (x^2 + 3y^2) \Big]$

Use the Basic Power Rule:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3(x^2 + 3y^2)^\big{\frac{-1}{2}} (2x + 6yy')$

We know that y' is the notation for the 1st derivative. Substitute in the 1st derivative equation:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3(x^2 + 3y^2)^\big{\frac{-1}{2}} \big[ 2x + 6y(6\sqrt{x^2 + 3y^2}) \big]$

Simplifying it, we have:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3(x^2 + 3y^2)^\big{\frac{-1}{2}} \big[ 2x + 36y\sqrt{x^2 + 3y^2} \big]$

We can rewrite the 2nd derivative using exponential rules:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{3\big[ 2x + 36y\sqrt{x^2 + 3y^2} \big]}{\sqrt{x^2 + 3y^2}}$

To evaluate the 2nd derivative at x = 2, simply substitute in x = 2 and the value f(2) = 2 into it:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \bigg| \limits_{x = 2} = \frac{3\big[ 2(2) + 36(2)\sqrt{2^2 + 3(2)^2} \big]}{\sqrt{2^2 + 3(2)^2}}$

When we evaluate this using order of operations, we should obtain our answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \bigg| \limits_{x = 2} = 219$
