The change that happened from the first half of the equation to the second half was you moved the 9 and the 4c around.

Commutative property of addition allows you to do that. It's what says that 2+3 is the same thing as 3+2

Hope this helps you

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=- \dfrac{1}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y = \ln{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

using the properties of log we can take the power 1/2 and multiply it.

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}\ln{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)$

now we can differentiate:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)}\left(\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}\right)\right)$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1}\right)\left(- \dfrac{2}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}}\right)$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=- \dfrac{1}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}$

this is our answer!

3 / m + 4 - 4 / m = 6 (i) Show that this equation can be written as 6m^2 + 25m+16= 0

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Proved Below

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \frac{3}{m+4} - \frac{4}{m} = 6\\LCM = m(m+4)\\Multiplying \ both \ sides \ by\ m(m+4)\\3m - 4(m+4) = 6m(m+4)\\3m-4m-16 = 6m^2+24m\\-m-16 = 6m^2+24m\\Adding\ m\ to\ both\ sides\\-16 = 6m^2+24m+m\\-16 = 6m^2+25m\\Adding \ 16 \ to \ both \ sides\\0 = 6m^2+25m+16\\OR\\6m^2+25m+16 = 0$
