Answer:

a. y = 12\times \frac{1}{x^2} \\b. x = 2 , when \ y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

y \ is\ inversely  \ proportional \  to \  square \  of \  x \ means , y \  \alpha \ \frac{1}{x^2}

Therefore, y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}

Given y = 48, x = 1/2. We will find k.

                 y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\48 = k \times \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\k = 48 \times \frac{1}{4} =12

Find x.

y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2} \\\\3 = 12 \times \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\\frac{3}{12} =  \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\x^2 = \frac{12}{3}\\\\x^2 = 4 \\\\x = 2

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.
adoni [48]

Answer: The required derivative is \dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

y=\ln[x(2x+3)^2]

Differentiating log function w.r.t. x, we get that

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{[x(2x+3)^2]}\times [x'(2x+3)^2+(2x+3)^2'x]\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{[x(2x+3)^2]}\times [(2x+3)^2+2x(2x+3)]\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{4x^2+9+12x+4x^2+6x}{x(2x+3)^2}\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}

Hence, the required derivative is \dfrac{8x^2+18x+9}{x(2x+3)^2}

Is y = 3x+4 and y=3x-5 parallel, perpendicular or neither?
sineoko [7]

Answer: These Lines are <em>Parallel</em>

Step-by-step explanation: For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope with different y-intercepts. Both of the lines above have a slope of 3 and differing y-intercepts of 4 and -5. Therefore, these lines must be parallel to one another.

box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 4,000 cm3. Find the dimensions of the box (in cm) that minimize the am
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has a square base, let length = width = x. Also, let the height = y, therefore:

The volume of box = width * length * height

4000 = x * x * y

4000 = x²y

y=4000/x²

The surface area (SA) = area of the base + sum of the area of each side

SA = x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = x² + 4xy

substitute y = 4000/x²

SA = x² + 4x(4000/x²)

SA = x² + 16000/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 2x - 16000/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 2x - 16000/x²

2x = 16000/x²

2x³ = 16000

x³ = 8000

x = 20 cm

y = 4000 / x² = 4000 / 20² = 10 cm

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm
