Answer:

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

12^2 + b^2 = 13^2

144+b^2 =169

Subtract 144 from each side

144-144+b^2 = 169-144

b^2 = 25

Take the square root on each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(25)

b = 5

There are (4^9)^5 ⋅ 4^0 books at the library. What is the total number of books at the library?

seraphim [82]

Do (4^9)^5 first, when an exponent is in a parenthesis with another exponent outside, you multiply them which makes 4^45. Then we multiply 4^0 but this time we add the exponent because there’s no parentheses, which gives you 4^45.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Split it into two:

Y<3x

Y<5

X = 1

Y = 3

(1,3)

X = 2

Y = 6

(2, 6)

Plot the line up to y = 4.999999999999999999999 and not higher.

Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

<em>Using first principle, this gives:</em>

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

<em>Hence, the smallest sum is 2</em>
