Find the gradient of the curve y = x^5/2 at the point where x = 4


Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The equation of the curve is:

[tex]y=x^{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]

To find:

The gradient of the given curve at the point where [tex]x = 4[/tex].

Solution:

We have,

[tex]y=x^{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to x.

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}x^{\frac{5}{2}-1}[/tex]       [tex][\because \dfrac{d}{dx}x^n=nx^{n-1}][/tex]

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}x^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=4[/tex], we get

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}(4)^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}(2^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

Using properties of exponents, we get

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}(2)^{2\times \frac{3}{2}}[/tex]         [tex][\because (a^m)^n=a^{mn}][/tex]

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}(2)^{3}[/tex]

[tex]y'=\dfrac{5}{2}(8)[/tex]

[tex]y'=20[/tex]

Therefore, the gradient of the given curve at the point where [tex]x = 4[/tex] is 20.

A cylindrical pipe is 25 ft long and has a volume of 900ft3 find it's approximate diameter to the nearest hundredth of a foot

Answers

Answer:

Diameter of the pipe ≈ 6.77 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Here, r = Radius of the cylindrical pipe

h = Length of the pipe

Volume of the pipe = 900 ft³

Length of the pipe = 25 ft

By substituting the given values in the formula,

900 = π(r)²(25)

r² = [tex]\frac{900}{25\pi}[/tex]

r = √11.459

r = 3.385

Diameter = 2(radius)

                = 2(3.385)

                = 6.77 ft

The diameter of the cylinderi is 6.77ft

Volume of a cylinder

the formula for calculating thevolume of a cylinder is given as

V = pi d²/4 × h

Given the following

V = 900ft³

h = 25ft

Substitute the given parameters

900 = 3.14 × d²/4 × 25

900 = 19.625d²

d² = 45.859

d = 6.77ft

Hence the diameter of the cylinderi is 6.77ft

Place the numbers 40 and 100 into the proportion. (Whole)(percents) ----------- (Part) what goes where?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hard to tell how the question should read.

40/100 = 40%

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Proportion means writing in fraction form as numerator and denominator.

40/100 = 40%

The proportion of 40 and 100 is 40%.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

We have.

40 and 100.

Proportion means writing in fraction form as numerator and denominator.

So,

If we write 40/100 we get 40%.

This means 40 out of 100.

Thus,

40/100 = 40%

The proportion of 40 and 100 is 40%.

He dimensions are tripled. The new surface area would be times larger than the original surface area.

Answers

Answer:

The new surface area would be 9 times larger than the original surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we do not know what was the original shape, but we will see that it does not matter.

Let's start with a square of side length L.

The original area of this square will be:

A = L^2

Now if each dimension is tripled, then all the sides of the square now will be equal to 3*L

Then the new area of the square is:

A' = (3*L)^2 = (3*L)*(3*L) = 9*L^2 = 9*A

So the new surface area is 9 times the original one.

Now, if the figure was a circle instead of a square?

For a circle of radius R, the area is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Now if the dimensions of the circle are tripled, the new radius will be 3*R

Then the new area of the circle is:

A' = pi*(3*R)^2 = pi*9*R^2 = 9*(pi*R^2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original one.

If the figure is a triangle?

We know that for a triangle of base B and height H, the area is:

A = B*H/2

If we triple each measure, we will have a base 3*B and a height 3*H

Then the new area is:

A' = (3*B)*(3*H)/2 = (3*3)*(B*H/2) = 9*(B*H/2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original area.

So we can conclude that for any shape, the new area will be 9 times the original area.

One diagonal of the kite is three times as long as the other diagonal. If the area of the kite is 48 square meters, what is the length of each diagonal?​

Answers

Given:

One diagonal of the kite is three times as long as the other diagonal.

The area of the kite is 48 square meters.

To find:

The length of each diagonal.

Solution:

We know that, the area of the kite is:

[tex]A=\dfrac{d_1d_2}{2}[/tex]

Where, [tex]d_1,d_2[/tex] are two diagonals of a kite.

It is given that, one diagonal of the kite is three times as long as the other diagonal.

Let [tex]d_1=3d_2[/tex]. Then the area of the kite is:

[tex]A=\dfrac{3d_2d_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{3d_2^2}{2}[/tex]

The area of the kite is 48 square meters.

[tex]\dfrac{3d_2^2}{2}=48[/tex]

[tex]3d_2^2=2(48)[/tex]

[tex]d_2^2=\dfrac{96}{3}[/tex]

[tex]d_2^2=32[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]d_2=\sqrt{32}[/tex]       [It is only positive because side length cannot be negative]

[tex]d_2=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]d_1=3d_2[/tex]

[tex]d_1=3(4\sqrt{2})[/tex]

[tex]d_1=12\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the diagonals of the kite are [tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex] units and [tex]12\sqrt{2}[/tex] units.

A bar of soap is shaped like a right rectangular prism. The base is a rectangle that is 12 centimeters by 2 centimeters. The height is 3 centimeters. A second bar of soap is shaped like a square pyramid with the same volume as the first bar of soap. Each side of the base of the pyramid is 6 centimeters in length. What is the height of the pyramid?​

Answers

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Prism = base area x height =

Base area = length x width =  12 x 2 = 24 cm^2

Volume = 24 x 3 = 72 cm^3

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3( l x w x h)

72 = 1/3( 6x6 x h)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

216 = 36 x h

divide both sides by 36

h = 6

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 4x° + 8x° make a straight angle of 180°.

4x° + 8x° = 180°

12x° = 180°

12x = 180

x = 180/12 = 15

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

I gotcha bro

The line C is straight and straight lines are 180°

so 180° = 4x + 8x = 12x ----> 180 = 12x ---> then divide both sides by 12

180/12 = 15   and 12x/12 = x

so 15 = x or x = 15
