P, Q, V, and K are collinear with V between K and P, and Q between V and K. If VP = 14x + 4, PK = x + 630, VQ = 17x + 6, and KQ

= 11x + 5, solve for VP.

It's given in the question,

P, Q, V and K are collinear.

VP = 14x + 4

PK = x + 630

VQ = 17x + 6

KQ = 11x + 5

By segment addition postulate,

KQ + VQ + VP = KP

Substitute the values in the expression,

(11x + 5) + (17x + 6) + (14x + 4) = x + 630

(11x + 17x + 14x) + (5 + 6 + 4) = x + 630

42x + 15 = x + 630

42x - x = 630 - 15

41x = 615

x = \frac{615}{41}

x = 15

Therefore, value of VP = (14x + 4)

                                      = 14(15) + 4

                                      = 214 units

What is the first operation used to evaluate 13-2x3+4 divided by 4+4
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

  multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

The evaluation of ...

  13 -2·3 +4/4 +4

starts with the multiplication, because there are no exponents or parentheses.

  13 -6 +4/4 +4

Next is the division:

  13 -6 +1 +4

Finally, the addition and subtraction:

  7 +1 +4

  8 +4

 12

_____

We have assumed your x is not a variable, but is intended to indicate multiplication. We have also assumed that your "divided by" implies no particular grouping, so that the numerator is the first preceding number and only the first following number is in the denominator.

Show that the sum of two concave functions is concave. Is the product of two concave functions also concave?
spayn [35]

Answer with explanation:

Let us assume that the 2 functions are:

1) f(x)

2) g(x)

Now by definition of concave function we have the first derivative of the function should be strictly decreasing thus for the above 2 function we conclude that

\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)

Now the sum of the 2 functions is shown below

y=f(x)+g(x)

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)+\frac{d}{dx}\cdot g(x)\\\\

Since each term in the right of the above equation is negative thus we conclude that their sum is also negative thus

\frac{dy}{dx}

Thus the sum of the 2 functions is also a concave function.

Part 2)

The product of the 2 functions is shown below

h=f(x)\cdot g(x)

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

h'=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot (f(x)\cdot g(x))\\\\h'=g(x)f'(x)+f(x)g'(x)

Now we can see the sign of the terms on the right hand side depend on the signs of the function's themselves hence we remain inconclusive about the sign of the product as a whole. Thus the product can be concave or convex.
