Rewrite the expression using the Distributive Property.

1 answer:

8 0

The Distributive Property states: a(b+c) = ab+ac.

5(6+12) is the expression.

5•6+5•12 is the product of the Distributive Property.

30+60 is the product of multiplication.

Therefore, 30+60 is the correct answer.

• We just distributed the 5 to the 6 and 12 because the entire expression of 6+12 is being multiplied by the 5, hence there are parentheses.

The sum of two numbers is 24. The difference is 15. What are the two numbers?

tatiyna

The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5

x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

Rob laid three sticks end to end. The lengths of the sticks were 45 millimeters, 32 centimeters, and 4 decimeters. How long, in

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

<u>0.765 meters</u> long were the sticks when laid end to end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rob laid three sticks end to end. The lengths of the sticks were 45 millimeters, 32 centimeters, and 4 decimeters.

Now, to find the length in meters of the sticks when laid end to end.

The lengths of the sticks are:

1st stick - 45 millimeters.

2nd stick - 32 centimeters.

3rd stick - 4 decimeters.

So, we convert the units of sticks into meters by using conversion factor:

1st stick:

1 millimeter = 0.001 meter.

45 millimeters = 0.001 × 45

45 millimeters = 0.045 meter.

2nd stick:

1 centimeter = 0.01 meter.

32 centimeters = 0.01 × 32

32 centimeters = 0.32 meter.

3rd stick:

1 decimeter = 0.1 meter.

4 decimeters = 0.1 × 4

4 decimeters = 0.4 meter.

Now, adding all the three sticks length to get the the length in meters of the sticks when laid end to end:

$0.045+0.32+0.4\\\\=0.765\ meters.$

Therefore, 0.765 meters long were the sticks when laid end to end.

Let f(x) = 1/x^2 (a) Use the definition of the derivatve to find f'(x). (b) Find the equation of the tangent line at x=2

Verdich [7]

Answer:

(a) $f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}$

(b) $y=-0.25x+0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}$ .... (1)

According to the first principle of the derivative,

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{x^2(x+h)^2}}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{x^2-x^2-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-h(2x+h)}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

Cancel out common factors.

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-(2x+h)}{x^2(x+h)^2}$

By applying limit, we get

$f'(x)=\frac{-(2x+0)}{x^2(x+0)^2}$

$f'(x)=\frac{-2x)}{x^4}$

$f'(x)=\frac{-2)}{x^3}$ .... (2)

Therefore $f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}$ .

(b)

Put x=2, to find the y-coordinate of point of tangency.

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2^2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

The coordinates of point of tangency are (2,0.25).

The slope of tangent at x=2 is

$m=(\frac{dy}{dx})_{x=2}=f'(x)_{x=2}$

Substitute x=2 in equation 2.

$f'(2)=\frac{-2}{(2)^3}=\frac{-2}{8}=\frac{-1}{4}=-0.25$

The slope of the tangent line at x=2 is -0.25.

The slope of tangent is -0.25 and the tangent passes through the point (2,0.25).

Using point slope form the equation of tangent is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-0.25=-0.25(x-2)$

$y-0.25=-0.25x+0.5$

$y=-0.25x+0.5+0.25$

$y=-0.25x+0.75$

Therefore the equation of the tangent line at x=2 is y=-0.25x+0.75.
