Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines l and m are the parallel lines and 't' is a transversal line,
Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angle postulate]
∠5 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles theorem]
∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Transitive property]
Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles theorem]
Taking the derivative of 7 times secant of x^3:
We take out 7 as a constant focus on secant (x^3)
To take the derivative, we use the chain rule, taking the derivative of the inside, bringing it out, and then the derivative of the original function. For example:
The derivative of x^3 is 3x^2, and the derivative of secant is tan(x) and sec(x).
Knowing this: secant (x^3) becomes tan(x^3) * sec(x^3) * 3x^2. We transform tan(x^3) into sin(x^3)/cos(x^3) since tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). Then secant(x^3) becomes 1/cos(x^3) since the secant is the reciprocal of the cosine.
We then multiply everything together to simplify:
sin(x^3) * 3x^2/ cos(x^3) * cos(x^3) becomes
3x^2 * sin(x^3)/(cos(x^3))^2
and multiplying the constant 7 from the beginning:
7 * 3x^2 = 21x^2, so...
our derivative is 21x^2 * sin(x^3)/(cos(x^3))^2
A ratio of 3:2.
The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:

This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.

Your answer:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
