So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>
</span>
A number without denominator such is equal to number with denominator 1.
So, 24 is equal to 24/1
5/8 x 24
= 5/8 x 24/1
= (5x24) / (8x1)
= 120/8
= 15
The function
... f(x) = (x+2)/(x-1) = 1 + 3/(x-1)
is symmetrical about the line y=x, hence is its own inverse.
We can evaluate the desired derivative directly.
... f'(x) -3/(x-1)²
so f'(2) is
... f'(2) = -3/(2-1)²
