X squared + 8 squared = 10 squared
X= 6... answer B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a curve defined by the function 2x²+3y²−4xy=36
The total differential of this function with respect to a variable x makes the function an implicit function because it contains two variables.
Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x we have:
4x+6ydy/dx-(4xd(y)/dx+{d(4x)/dx(y))} = 0
4x + 6ydy/dx -(4xdy/dx +4y) = 0
4x + 6ydy/dx - 4xdy/dx -4y = 0
Collecting like terms
4x-4y+6ydy/dx - 4xdy/dx = 0
4x-4y+(6y-4x)dy/dx = 0
4x-4y = -(6y-4x)dy/dx
4y-4x = (6y-4x)dy/dx
dy/dx = (4y-4x)/6y-4x
dy/dx = 2(2y-2x)/2(3y-2x)
dy/dx = 2y-2x/3y-2x proved!
Is there anything else that goes with this question like a picture or something
Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
