Let's keep the,

Value of unknown number as y.

Then find the y,

→ 5y + 30 = 15

→ 5y = 15 - 30

→ 5y = -15

→ y = -15/5

→ [y = -3]

Therefore, -3 is the number.

Answer:

let x=the number

5x+30=15

5x=15-30

5x=-15

5x/5=-15/5

x=-3

Differentiate y=x⁴(1-2x⁵)⁶(5-8x³)².

Liula [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y(x)=f(x)g(x)h(x)$ where

$f(x) = x^4$

$g(x)= (1 -2x^5)^6$

$h(x)= (5 - 8x^3)^2$

so that

$y(x) = x^4(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2$

Recall that the derivative of the product of functions is

$y'(x)=f'(x)g(x)h(x)+f(x)g'(x)h(x)+f(x)g(x)h'(x)$

so taking the derivatives of the individual functions, we get

$f'(x) = 4x^3$

$g'(x) = 6(1 - 2x^5)^5(-10x^4)$

$h'(x) = 2(5 - 8x^3)(-24x^2)$

So the derivative of y(x) is given by

$y'(x) = 4x^3(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2 + x^4 6(1 -2x^5)^5(-10x^4)(5 - 8x^3)^2 + x^4(1 -2x^5)^6 2(5 - 8x^3)(-24x^2)$

$y'(x) = 4x^3(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:- 60x^8(1 -2x^5)^5(5 - 8x^3)^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:- 48x^6(1 -2x^5)^6 2(5 - 8x^3)$

Find the perimeter and the area of each shape. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approxi

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Circumference: 12π + 8 cm,

Area: 48 ( cm )^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is composed of circles, squares, and semicircles. As you can see, the squares indicate that each semicircle should have ( 1 ) the same area, and ( 2 ) the same length ( circumference ). It would be easier to take the circumference of the figure first, as it is composed of arcs part of semicircles the same length.

Circumference of 1 semicircle = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( πd ) = $\frac{1}{2}$ π( 4 ) = 2π ( cm )

Circumference of Figure (composed of 6 semicircles + 2 sides of a square),

We know that 6 semicircles should be 6 $*$ 2π, and as the sides of a square are equal - if one side is 4 cm, the other 3 are 4 cm as well. Therefore the " 2 sides of a square " should be 2

Circumference of Figure = 6 $*$ 2π + 2 = 12π + 8 ( cm )

_____________

The area of this figure is our next target. As you can see, it is composed of 3 semicircles, and the area of 3 semicircles subtracted from the area of 3 squares. Therefore, let us calculate the area of 1 semicircle, and the area of 1 square first.

Area of 1 semicircle = 1/2π $r^2$ = 1/2π $(2)^2$ = 2π ( cm ),
