Differentiate y=a/x+b with respect to x, when a and b are constant​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Basile [38]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-a/(x+b)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y = a/x+b

To differentiate, we will use the quotient rule.

dy/dx = (Vdu/dx-Udv/dx)/V²

Let u   = a

v = x+b

Note that differential of a constant is zero

du/dx = 0

dv/dx = 1

Substitute

dy/dx = (x+b)0 - a (1)/(x+b)²

dy/dx = 0 - a/(x+b)²

dy/dx = -a/(x+b)²

Solve the system of equations
rewona [7]

Answer:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a system of 3 equations with 3 variables:

4*x + 2*y + 1 = 1

2*x - y = 1

x + 3*y + z = 1

The first step to solve this, is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate "y" in the second equation:

2*x - y = 1

2*x - 1 = y

Now that we have an expression equivalent to "y", we can replace this in the other two equations:

4*x + 2*(2*x - 1) + 1 = 1

x + 3*(2*x - 1) + z = 1

Now let's simplify these two equations:

8*x - 1 = 1

7*x - 3 + z = 1

Now, in the first equation we have only the variable x, so we can solve that equation to find the value of x:

8*x - 1 = 1

8*x = 1 + 1 = 2

x = 2/8 = 1/4

Now that we know the value of x, we can replace this in the other equation to find the value of z.

7*(1/4) -3 + z = 1

7/4 - 3 + z = 1

z = 1 + 3 - 7/4

z = 4 - 7/4

z = 16/4 - 7/4 = 9/4

z = 9/4

Now we can use the equation y = 2*x - 1 and the value of x to find the value of y:

y = 2*(1/4) - 1

y = 2/4 - 1

y = 1/2 - 1

y = -1/2

Then the solution is:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

If f(x) = 2x² + 5, then what is the remainder when f (x) is divided by x – 10?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 10 = 0

x = 10

f(10) = 2*10² + 5 = 2*100 + 5 = 200 + 5

Simplify the expression <br><br> -2b - 6 + 3b - 2
Scilla [17]
Hello!

To do this we need to combine like terms, meaning combine the terms that have the same variables.

b is one variable that can be combined:

-2b - 6 + 3b - 2
b - 6 - 2

Now, combine the digits:

b - 8

Hope this helped!
