Powered by AIThe perimeter of a rectangle is given by \( P = 2(l+w) \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width. Given a perimeter of 50m and a length of 15m, substitute: \( 50 = 2(15 + w) \). Simplify to \( 50 = 30 + 2w \). Solve for \( w \) by subtracting 30 from both sides: \( 20 = 2w \). Finally, divide by 2 to find \( w = 10m \).
Let the number of girls be \( g \), then the number of boys is \( 1.5g \). The total number of students is the sum of girls and boys: \( g + 1.5g = 600 \). Simplify to \( 2.5g = 600 \). Solve for \( g \) by dividing both sides by 2.5, resulting in \( g = 240 \).
The derivative of \( y = 4x^2 - 3x + 5 \) with respect to \( x \) is computed using the power rule for differentiation. For \( 4x^2 \), the derivative is \( 8x \), and for \( -3x \), it is \( -3 \). Constant terms have a derivative of 0. Thus, \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 8x - 3 \).
To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{2} + 3 = 2x \), first isolate the variable \( x \). Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \( x + 6 = 4x \). Then, solve for \( x \) by subtracting \( x \) from both sides: \( 6 = 3x \). Finally, divide both sides by 3 to find \( x \): \( x = 2 \).
Integrate each term separately: For \( 4x^4 \), the integral is \( \frac{4}{5}x^5 \); for \( -3x^3 \), \( -\frac{3}{4}x^4 \); for the constant 5, the integral is \( 5x \). The resulting expression is \( \frac{4}{5}x^5 - \frac{3}{4}x^4 + 5x + C \).
To rationalize \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), multiply by \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \) to eliminate the square root in the denominator. This results in \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \).
Express 8 as a power of 4: \( 8 = 4^{1.5} = (4^{1.5})^x \). Rewrite the equation as \( 4^{x+1} = 4^{1.5x} \). Both sides have the same base, so equate the exponents: \( x + 1 = 1.5x \). Solve for \( x \) by isolating it: \( 1 = 0.5x \), so \( x = 2 \).
Use the property \( \log_6 = \log_3 + \log_2 \), since \( 6 = 3 \times 2 \). Compute \( \log_6 = 0.4771 + 0.3010 = 0.7781 \).
To find the angular difference between P(\(62^\circ N, 38^\circ W\)) and Q(\(62^\circ N, 47^\circ E\)), sum the absolute values of their longitudinal differences: \(|38 - (-47)| = |38 + 47| = 85^\circ\).
To convert the equation \( P^3 = m \) into logarithmic form, recall that the exponential expression \( a^b = c \) can be rewritten in logarithmic form as \( \log_a(c) = b \). Thus, \( \log_P(m) = 3 \).
