Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by

a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer!!!!!

Checking your answer....

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.

-46 - 8x > 22

-8x > 22 + 46

-8x > 68

x < 68/-8 (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)

x < -17/2

B. Accuracy is if it's right or not. Precision is how many decimal places it goes out to. So it is precise but not accurate.

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

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

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

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

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

Ngl I think it’s 20 because 15 is 5x3 but 60 divided by 3=20 lmk if I’m wrong
