Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x+2(x-3)=3x+x-12\qquad|\text{use the distributive property}\\\\4x+(2)(x)+(2)(-3)=3x+x-12\\\\4x+2x-6=3x+x-12\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\(4x+2x)-6=(3x+x)-12\\\\6x-6=4x-12\qquad|\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\6x-6+6=4x-12+6\\\\6x=4x-6\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-4x=4x-4x-6\\\\2x=-6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-6}{2}\\\\x=-3$

Derivative of y= 2^(sin pi x)

laila [671]

Take log of both sides
$\ln y = \ln(2^{\sin \pi x})$
Use log property to get "x" out of the exponent
$\ln y = (\ln 2) (\sin \pi x)$
Differentiate
$\frac{dy}{y} = (\pi \ln 2)(cos \pi x) dx$
Move y to Right side (Note y = original expression)
$\frac{dy}{dx} = (\pi \ln 2) (\cos \pi x) 2^{\sin \pi x}$

In general, whenever you have a function in the form
$y = a^{f(x)}$
The derivative will be
$\frac{dy}{dx} = (\ln a) (f'(x))a^{f(x)}$

Jim has received scores of 72 72 and 77 77 on his first two 100 point tests. what score must he get on his third 100 point test

Alisiya [41]

77+72=149
149/2=74.5
through the process of elimination, I found that Jim needs to get an 88 or higher to receive an average of 79 or greater.

77+72+88=237
237/3=79

Answer:

Step 1 - Find Whole Number. Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. ...

4 / 3 = 1.3333 = 1.

Step 2 - Find New Numerator. Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

4 - (3 x 1) = 1.

Step 3 - Get Solution.
