There are two equation of the system

(1) The perimeter

    2(w + l) = p

    2(w + l) = 86

(2) The length and the width

     2w = l + 2

From the second equation

2w = l + 2

l + 2 = 2w

l = 2w - 2

Subtitute l with 2w - 2 in the first equation to find the width

2(w + l) = 86

2(w + 2w - 2) = 86

2(3w - 2) = 86

6w - 4 = 86

6w = 90

w = 15

Now, find the length by subtituting w with 15

l = 2w - 2

l = 2(15) - 2

l = 30 - 2

l = 28

The dimension of the rectangle

length = 28 cm

width = 15 cm

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The number is -1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming they are fractions. So we have the equation:

5/2 x + 2/3 = -7/12

We multiply through by 12 to eliminate the fractions:

5/2 * 12 x + 2/3 * 12 = -7/12 * 12

30x + 8 = -7

30x = -15

x =  -15/30

x = -1/2.

Find dy/dx if f(x) = (x + 8)^3x.
vlabodo [156]
This is quite a complex problem. I wrote out a really nice solution but I can't work out how to put it on the website as the app is very poorly made. Still, I'll just have to type it all in...

Okay so you need to use a technique called logarithmic differentiation. It seems quite unnatural to start with but the result is very impressive.

Let y = (x+8)^(3x)

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(y) = ln((x+8)^(3x))

By laws of logarithms, this can be rearranged:

ln(y) = 3xln(x+8)

Next, differentiate both sides. By implicit differentiation:

d/dx(ln(y)) = 1/y dy/dx

The right hand side is harder to differentiate. Using the substitution u = 3x and v = ln(x+8):

d/dx(3xln(x+8)) = d/dx(uv)

du/dx = 3

Finding dv/dx is harder, and involves the chain rule. Let a = x+ 8:

v = ln(a)
da/dx = 1
dv/da = 1/a

By chain rule:

dv/dx = dv/da * da/dx = 1/a = 1/(x+8)

Finally, use the product rule:

d/dx(uv) = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

This overall produces the equation:

1/y * dy/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

We want to solve for dy/dx, achievable by multiplying both sides by y:

dy/dx = y(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Since we know y = (x+8)^(3x):

dy/dx = ((x+8)^(3x))(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Neatening this up a bit, we factorise out 3/(x+8):

dy/dx = (3(x+8)^(3x-1))(x + (x+8)ln(x+8))

Well wasn't that a marathon? It's a nightmare typing that in, I hope you can follow all the steps.

I hope this helped you :)
