B is the midpoint of AC and AC=8r-20,and AB=3x-1 Find BC

Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

BC = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

since B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC

AC = 8x - 20 & AB = 3x - 1

AC = AB + BC or 2AB

8x - 20 = 2(3x - 1)

8x - 20 = 6x - 2

subtract 6x form each side

2x - 20 = -2

add 20 to each side

2x - 20 + 20 = -2 + 20

2x = 18

x = 9

BC = 3x - 1

BC = 27 - 1

BC = 26

AC = 52

If 3x^2 + y^2 = 7 then evaluate d^2y/dx^2 when x = 1 and y = 2. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Use the hyphen symbol, -,
S_A_V [24]
Taking y=y(x) and differentiating both sides with respect to x yields

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[3x^2+y^2\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[7\bigg]\implies 6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0

Solving for the first derivative, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac{3x}y

Differentiating again gives

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[0\bigg]\implies 6+2\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2+2y\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=0

Solving for the second derivative, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=-\dfrac{3+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}y=-\dfrac{3+\frac{9x^2}{y^2}}y=-\dfrac{3y^2+9x^2}{y^3}

Now, when x=1 and y=2, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}\bigg|_{x=1,y=2}=-\dfrac{3\cdot2^2+9\cdot1^2}{2^3}=\dfrac{21}8\approx2.63

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $30,900
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Your answer is $30,000.
The way I have answered this is quite strange, but I'll do my best to explain it. So because we know that $30,900 is 3% than last year, we can call it 103%. This allows us to form a ratio and therefore find 100%.
30,900 : 103
÷ 103
300 : 1
× 100
30,000 : 100
Which means $30,000 is 100%, or 3% less than $30,900. I hope this helps! Let me know if it was confusing or anything :)
