Using the principle of parallel lines, the value of x in the given triangle is calculated to be 8

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>smaller</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base = 6/x ----(1)

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>larger</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base
  • Side = 6+9 = 15
  • 15/20 - - - - - (2)

<u>Equating</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

6/x = 15 / 20

15x = 20 × 6

15x = 120

x = 120 / 15

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 8.

Consider the function on the interval (0, 2π). f(x) = sin x + cos x (a) Find the open intervals on which the function is increas
Annette [7]

Answer:Increasing in x∈(0,π/4)∪(5π/4,2π) decreasing in(π/4,5π/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

given f(x) = sin(x) + cos(x)

f(x) can be rewritten as \sqrt{2} [\frac{sin(x)}{\sqrt{2} }+\frac{cos(x)}{\sqrt{2} }  ]..................(a)\\\\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } = cos(45) = sin(45)\\\\

Using these result in equation a we get

f(x) = \sqrt{2} [ cos(45)sin(x)+sin(45)cos(x)]\\\\= \sqrt{2} [sin(45+x)]..........(b)

Now we know that for derivative with respect to dependent variable is positive for an increasing function

Differentiating b on both sides with respect to x we get

f '(x) = f '(x)=\sqrt{2}  \frac{dsin(45+x)}{dx}\\ \\f'(x)=\sqrt{2} cos(45+x)\\\\f'(x)>0=>\sqrt{2} cos(45+x)>0

where x∈(0,2π)

we know that cox(x) > 0 for x∈[0,π/2]∪[3π/2,2π]

Thus for cos(π/4+x)>0 we should have

1) π/4 + x < π/2  => x<π/4  => x∈[0,π/4]

2) π/4 + x > 3π/2  => x > 5π/4  => x∈[5π/4,2π]

from conditions 1 and 2 we have  x∈(0,π/4)∪(5π/4,2π)

Thus the function is decreasing in x∈(π/4,5π/4)

Answer:

y = ( x-2)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 5x - 14

What 2 numbers multiply to -14 and add to 5

-2 * 7 = -14

-2+7 = 5

y = ( x-2)(x+7)
