Maristella is constructing an isosceles triangle to use as a model in her Algebra class. The perimeter of her triangle is 24 cm.

Maristella uses the equation b = 24 – 2s to find b, the length of the triangle's third side, in terms of s, the length of each of its two congruent sides. What is her equation written in terms of s?

Isolating s, the equation written in terms of s is:

$s = 12 - 0.5b$

-------------------------

The equation for the length of the third side, as stated in the problem,("Maristella uses the equation b = 24 – 2s to find b, the length of the triangle's third side") is:

$b = 24 - 2s$

To solve for the lengths of the congruent sides, we isolate s, thus:

$b = 24 - 2s$

$2s = 24 - b$

Inverse of multiplication is division, thus:

$s = \frac{24 - b}{2}$

Separating into two fractions:

$s = \frac{24}{2} - \frac{b}{2}$

Solving each fraction:

$s = 12 - 0.5b$

Find the indefinite integrals, if possible, using the formulas and techniques you have studied so far in the text.(a) 11 x4 dxTh

hoa [83]

Answer:

a) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 11x^{4}dx = \frac{11}{5} x^{5}+C$

b) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx=\frac{4}{3}x^{6}+C$

c) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 3x^{31}x^{4}dx=\frac{x^{36}}{12}+C$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $\int 11x^{4}dx$

In order to solve this problem, we can directly make use of the power rule of integration, which looks like this:

$\int kx^{n}=k\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

so in this case we would get:

$\int 11x^{4}dx=11 \frac{x^{4+1}}{4+1}+C$

$\int 11x^{4}dx=11 \frac{x^{5}}{5}+C$

b) $\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx$

In order to solve this problem we just need to use some algebra to simplify it. By using power rules, we get that:

$\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx=\int 8x^{1+4}dx=\int 8x^{5}dx$

So we can now use the power rule of integration:

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{8}{5+1}x^{5+1}+C$

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{8}{6}x^{6}+C$

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{4}{3}x^{6}+C$

c) The same applies to this problem:

$\int 3x^{31}x^{4}dx=\int 3x^{31+4}dx=\int 3x^{35}dx$

and now we can use the power rule of integration:

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{3x^{35+1}}{35+1}+C$

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{3x^{36}}{36}+C$

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{x^{36}}{12}+C$

5) What problems have a negative slope?

Fantom [35]

A negative slope can be illustrated when a line that is trending downward from left to right, has a negative value.

<h3>What is a negative slope</h3>

It should be noted that a negative slope implies that two variables are negatively related.

This implies that when x increases, y decreases, and also when x decreases, y increases.

Graphically, a negative slope implies that as the line on the line graph moves from left to right, the line will fall.
