Answer:

for a it would be 11/18 and for b it would be 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because I did the same butterfly method. 5 times 5 times 18 which is 90 for 5/9 and 9 times 18 is 99 for 11/18, you can also write it as 5/9 and 11/18 but cross multiply. This is also what I did with the second one.

B, the smaller the number the bigger the fraction.

Differentiate the following by using "limit"

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x } }$

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to differentiate the following by using limit:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \sqrt{x}$

derivative definition by limit given by

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{f(x + \Delta x) - f(x)}{ \Delta x} \right)$

given that,

f(x)=√x

so,

f(x+∆x)=√(x+∆x)

thus substitute:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ \sqrt{x + \Delta x}- \sqrt{x} }{ \Delta x} \right)$

multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the numerator:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ \sqrt{x + \Delta x}- \sqrt{x} }{ \Delta x} \times \frac{ \sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x} }{\sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x}} \right)$

simplify which yields:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ (\sqrt{x + \Delta x}) ^{2} - x }{ \Delta x(\sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x})} \right)$

simplify square:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{ \Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ x + \Delta x - x }{ \Delta x(\sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x})} \right)$

collect like terms:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ \Delta x }{ \Delta x(\sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x})} \right)$

reduce fraction:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \lim _{\Delta x \to 0} \left( \frac{ 1 }{ (\sqrt{x + \Delta x} + \sqrt{x})} \right)$

get rid of ∆x as we are approaching its to 0

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{x } + \sqrt{x}}$

simplify addition:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{d }{dx} \sqrt{x} = \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x } }$

and we are done!

Write the equation of the graph shown below in factored form.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

y = (x +2)(x -1)(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

For each x-intercept (r) the corresponding factor is (x -r). For x-intercepts -2, 1, 3, the factors are ... (x+2), (x-1), (x-3). Then the equation is ...

y = (x +2)(x -1)(x -3)

What is the solution to the given system of equations?

bixtya [17]

Depends, what was given for x? For example, 4 times the number given for x minus 3 would be the coordinate and the negative number given for x minus 13 would be your coordinate, I hope this helped you solve it :) if not put the number given for x

In triangle ABC, (angle A) is a right angle and (m angle B) = 45deg.

Ratling [72]

We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to $x \sqrt{2}$ , and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to $16 \sqrt{2}$ ft

LENGTH OF ARCS. URGENT.

Alenkinab [10]

Since the angle of the arc is 90°, we'll plug that in for theta. We're finding the length of the arc, so we'll use the circumference formula.
