It's dependent on the context. A book may ask you to find the f'(x) of a function and you may have to use a u sub in your problem which requires you to find the dy/dx of what you substitute. So in this case both would be used.
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle. the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'
so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out
so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11
11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60
12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth
Answer:
M + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jen has 3 more pencils than mike, then you add the amount of pencils to however many mike has which leads to M+3
Answer:
x=6, x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring this quadratic gets you (x-6)(x+5)=0, for this to be possible, either x-6 or x+5 has to be zero, so therefor x is 6, or x is -5
