We're given the implicit equation

x² + 2x + y² - 4y = 12

where "implicit" means that one of the variables is considered a function of the other. In this case, the variable y = y(x) depends on the value of the variable x - in other words, the possible values of y are implied by the value of x. We then say that this equation defines y as an implicit function of x.

We're also given the implicit derivative,

dy/dx = (-2x - 2)/(2y - 4)

which tells us the rate of change y as a function of both x and y. The value of dy/dx corresponds to the slope of the tangent line to the curve defined by the implicit equation above at some point (x, y).

The tangent line is horizontal when its slope is zero. This happens when

(-2x - 2)/(2y - 4) = 0

If y ≠ 2, then we can eliminate the denominator and we're left with

-2x - 2 = 0

Solve for x :

-2x = 2

x = -1

This tells us that the points on the curve with x-coordinate -1 have a tangent line to the curve that is horizontal.

The tangent line is vertical when its slope is undefined/infinite, or equivalently when the denominator of dy/dx is zero:

2y - 4 = 0

Solve for y :

2y = 4

y = 2

So any point on the curve with y-coordinate 2 will have a tangent line there that is vertical.

By completing the square in the implicit equation, we can easily identify where these points are located.

x² + 2x + y² - 4y = 12

x² + 2x + 1 + y² - 4y + 4 = 17

(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 17

This equation defines a circle centered at (-1, 2) with radius √17. When x = -1, we have

(y - 2)² = 17   ⇒   y = 2 ± √17

and when y = 2, we have

(x + 1)² = 17   ⇒   x = -1 ± √17

See the attached plot to see the circle and the tangents at these points.

Someone please Solve 3 (x - 1) = 6. Thank you
kramer
We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.

It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.

3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6

Now we have an equation that is easier.

The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.

3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
                  And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
                So, I divided both sides by 3.

So, x is equal to 3.

Your averages and values are the following:

Answer: You need a grade of 78 on the final exam to earn a final grade average of at least 87 in each grading system.

Step-by-step explanation:

(85 + 90 + 95 + x)÷ 4 =87

Simplify:

(270 + x) ÷ 4 = 87

Rearrange:

(x + 270) ÷ 4 = 87

Multiply terms to Reduce:

4((x + 270) ÷ 4) = 4 * 87

Cancel Multiplied terms in Denominator:

x + 270 = 4 * 87

Multiply:

x + 270 = 348

Subtract 270 on both sides of the equation:

x + 270 - 270 = 348 - 270

Simplify:

x = 78
