Answer:

Second choice, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2

16 + b^2 = 25

b^2 = 9 (square root both sides)

b = 3

Power and chain rule (where the power rule kicks in because $\sqrt x=x^{1/2}$ ):

$\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}\right)'=\dfrac1{2\sqrt{\frac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}}\left(\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}\right)'$

Simplify the leading term as

$\dfrac1{2\sqrt{\frac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}$

Quotient rule:

$\left(\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}\right)'=\dfrac{(1+\sin(2x))(\cos(2x))'-\cos(2x)(1+\sin(2x))'}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

Chain rule:

$(\cos(2x))'=-\sin(2x)(2x)'=-2\sin(2x)$

$(1+\sin(2x))'=\cos(2x)(2x)'=2\cos(2x)$

Put everything together and simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{(1+\sin(2x))(-2\sin(2x))-\cos(2x)(2\cos(2x))}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{-2\sin(2x)-2\sin^2(2x)-2\cos^2(2x)}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{-2\sin(2x)-2}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=-\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{\sin(2x)+1}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=-\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac1{1+\sin(2x)}$

$=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac1{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}$

$=\boxed{-\dfrac1{\sqrt{\cos(2x)(1+\sin(2x))}}}$

What is the slope of y-4=5/2(x-2)

OLEGan [10]

The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.
