Answer: =3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\left(x+1\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac$

$3\left(x+1\right)=3x+3\cdot \:1$

$=3x+3\cdot \:1$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:3\cdot \:1=3$

$=3x+3$

Find the derivative of the fucntion. Simplify where possible. y = tan^-1(x²)

givi [52]

$\bf \cfrac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1}(x^2)]\implies \stackrel{\textit{chain rule}}{\cfrac{1}{1+(x^2)^2}\cdot 2x}\implies \cfrac{2x}{1+x^4}$

NEED HELP ASAP! Solve the proportion: 5.2 / 3.5 = y / 7.5

natima [27]

Answer:

y=11.142857

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 5.2/3.5 to 1.485714

1.485714=y/7.5

Multiply both sides by 7.5

1.485714× 7.5=y

Simplify 1.485714×7.5 to 11.142857

11.142857=y

Switch sides

y=11.142857

ΔABC and ΔXYZ are similar triangles. If BC = x + 5, AC = x + 1, YZ = x + 3, and XZ = x + 2, find the value of x.

Softa [21]

Its B -7/3 because BCYZ = ACXZ

(x + 5)(x + 3) = (x + 1)(x + 2)
x = -73

A ship leaves port at 1:00 p.m. and travels s35°e at the rate of 26 mi/hr. another ship leaves the same port at 1:30 p.m. and tr

BabaBlast [244]

We need to use the distance formula for this problem. d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2] We need to find these values. d = (52)^2 + (30)^2 Thus, these ships are approximately sqrt(3604) = about 60 miles apart.
