*the diagram of the Russian stringed instrument is attached below.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To show that the traingular parts of the two balalaikas instruments are congruent, substitute x = 6, to find the missing measurements that is given in both ∆s.

Parts of the first ∆:

WY = (2x - 2) in = 2(6) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 in

m<Y = 9x = 9(6) = 54°.

XY = 12 in

Parts of the second ∆:

m<F = 72°

HG = (x + 6) in = 6 + 6 = 12 in

HF = 10 in

m<G = 54°

m<H = 180 - (72° + 54°)

m<H = 180 - 126

m<H = 54°

From the information we have, let's match the parts that are congruent to each other in both ∆s:

WY ≅ FH (both are 10 in)

XY ≅ GH (both are 12 in)

<Y ≅ <G (both are 54°)

Thus, since two sides (WY and XY) and an included angle (<Y) of ∆WXY is congruent to two corresponding sides (FH and GH) and an included angle (<G) in ∆FGH, therefore, ∆WXY ≅ ∆FGH by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem.

This is enough proof to show that the triangular parts of the two balalaikas are congruent for x = 6.

For what values of x is f(x) = |x + 1| differentiable? I'm struggling my butt off for this course
pav-90 [236]

By definition of absolute value, you have

f(x) = |x+1| = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x+1\ge0 \\ -(x+1)&\text{if }x+1

or more simply,

f(x) = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x\ge-1\\-x-1&\text{if }x

On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.

For <em>x</em> > -1, we have

(<em>x</em> + 1)<em>'</em> = 1

while for <em>x</em> < -1,

(-<em>x</em> - 1)<em>'</em> = -1

More concisely,

f'(x) = \begin{cases}1&\text{if }x>-1\\-1&\text{if }x

Note the strict inequalities in the definition of <em>f '(x)</em>.

In order for <em>f(x)</em> to be differentiable at <em>x</em> = -1, the derivative <em>f '(x)</em> must be continuous at <em>x</em> = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of <em>x</em> = -1 for the derivative do not match:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(-1) = -1

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^+}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}1 = 1

All this to say that <em>f(x)</em> is differentiable everywhere on its domain, <em>except</em> at the point <em>x</em> = -1.

10m^2 of tiles cover a pool, the pool is shaped as a square, so all four edges are the same, and the depth is constant but not e
nignag [31]
Assume:

Size of sides = x m
Depth of the pool = y m

Therefore, surface area = x^2+4xy =10 m^2

Then, y = (10-x^2)/(4x)

Now,
Volume (V) = x^2*y = x^2*y =x^2(10-x^2)/4x = (10x-x^3)/4 = 1/4(10x-x^3)
For maximum volume, first derivative of volume function is equal to zero.
That is,
dV/dx =0 = 1/4(10-3x^2)
Then,
1/4(10-3x^2) = 0
10-3x^2 = 0
3x^2=10
x= sqrt (10/3) = 1.826 m
And
y= (10-1.826^2)/(4*1.826) = 0.913 m

Therefore,
V= 1.826^2*0.913 = 3.044 m^3

23 POINTS HERE PEOPLE
SOVA2 [1]

Hello!  

<h2>Answer: </h2>

23. 138 people voted for Nyemi, 69 people voted for Luke, and 23 people voted for Natalie.

24. Reina did not ride 11/16 of the rides.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

23:

3 ÷ 5 = 0.6

230 × 0.6 = 138

230 × 0.3 = 69

230 × 0.1 = 23

24:

We know that Alberto rode 5/8 of the rides at the park, and Reina rode half of this.

5/8 × 1/2 = 5/16

16 - 5 = 11
