Aliyah, Brenda and Candy share a sum of money in the ratio of 3:5:6. After
Candy gives $100 to Aliyah and $50 to Brenda, the ratio becomes 2 : 3:3.
(a) Suppose Aliyah has $3x at the start, express Candy's initial sum of money in
terms of x.
(b) Find the value of x.
(c) Hence, how much money does Brenda have in the end?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Candy's initial sum as a terms of x is $6x

(b) x = $60

(c) $350

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The ratio in which Aliyah, Brenda and Candy share the sum of money = 3:5:6

The amount Candy later gives Aliyah = $100

The amount Candy later gives Brenda = $50

The new ratio of the sum of the shared money between Aliyah, Brenda and Candy = 2:3:3

(a) Whereby Aliyah has $3x at the start, we have;

Total sum of mony = Y

Amount of Aliyah's initial share = Y × 3/(3 + 5 + 6) = Y×3/14

Therefore, Y×3/14 = $3x

x = Y×3/14 ÷ 3 = Y/14

Amount of Candy's initial share = Y × 6/14

Therefore Candy's initial sum as a terms of x = $6x

(b) Given that Aliyah's and Candy's initial sum as a function of x are   $3x and $6x, therefore, in the ratio 3:5:6, Brenda's  initial sum as a function of x = $5x

Which gives;

Total amount of money = $14x

With

6x - 150, 3x + 100, and 5x + 50, the ratio =is 2:3:3

Therefore, we have;

14·x × 2/(2 + 3 + 3) = (6·x - 150)

14·x × 2/(8) = (6·x - 150)

14·x × 1/4 = (6·x - 150)

7·x/2 = (6·x - 150)

12·x - 300 = 7·x

12·x - 7·x = 300

5·x = 300

x = $60

(b) The final amount of money with Brenda = 5x + 50 = 5 × 60 + 50 = $350

The final amount of money with Brenda = $350.

Yet another calculus question :)


Given [tex]y = x^3 - 2x[/tex] for [tex]x \geq 0[/tex], find the equation of the tangent line to y where the absolute value of the slope is minimized.

I have tried taking both the first and second derivatives and setting them equal to 0 and using that as the answer, but they're incorrect. Could somebody please explain how to complete the question correctly? Thank you so much!

Answers

Answer:  y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

This is the same as writing [tex]y = -\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]

============================================================

Explanation:

The phrasing "where the absolute value of the slope is minimized" is an interesting way of saying "the tangent slope is 0". This is because absolute values are never negative, so the smallest it can get is 0.

Your teacher has given you

y = x^3 - 2x

which differentiates into

dy/dx = 3x^2 - 2

after using the power rule

The derivative function lets us determine the slope of the tangent. The slope is the dy/dx value. Since we want a slope of 0, we'll set 3x^2-2 equal to zero and solve for x. So you have the correct idea, but you won't involve the second derivative.

dy/dx = 0

3x^2 - 2 = 0

3x^2 = 2

x^2 = 2/3

x = sqrt(2/3)

Notice how I'm ignoring the negative version of this root. This is due to the fact that [tex]x \ge 0[/tex]

-------------------------

Now plug this x value back into the original equation to find its corresponding y coordinate.

y = x^3 - 2x

y = x(x^2 - 2)

y = sqrt(2/3)*( 2/3 - 2 )

y = sqrt(2/3)*( -4/3 )

y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

Note that x = sqrt(2/3) leads to x^2 = 2/3 after squaring both sides.

-------------------------

Therefore, the equation of this tangent line is y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)

All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. This constant value is basically what number you want the horizontal line to go through on the y axis. That number would be (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3).

The polygons in each pair are similar. find the scale factor of the smallest figure to larger figure.

Answers

Greetings from Brasil...

It is said that polygons are similar, so we can use the expression of similarity.

BIG/small = BIG/small

35/14 = 25/X

X = 10

But the scale factor is questioned. Just use one of the expressions. We conclude that the largest is 2.5 times the value of the smallest

35/14 OR 40/16 OR 25/10

We get 2.5x

BIG/small = BIG/small

25/5 = 40/Y

Y = 8

25/5 OR 25/5 OR 40/8

Topic: Simultaneous equations Class 9 ICSE​

Answers

Denote the number by 10a + b, where both a and b are integers picked from {1, 2, 3, …, 9}.

"the difference of whose digits is 3"   ==>   |a - b| = 3

"4 times the number is equal to 7 times the number obtained by reversing the digits"   ==>   4 (10a + b) = 7 (10b + a)

Simplifying the second equation, you get

40a + 4b = 70b + 7a

33a - 66b = 0

a - 2b = 0

Assume a > b, in which case we would have |a - b| = a - b, so

a - b = 3

Eliminate a to solve for b, then for a :

(a - b) - (a - 2b) = 3 - 0

b = 3   ==>   a = 6

Then the original number is 63.

If instead we had assumed a < b, we would have had |a - b| = b - a = 3. Then

2 (b - a) + (a - 2b) = 2×3 + 0

-a = 6

But neither a nor b can be negative, so this case is moot.

The area of a trapezium is 31.5 cm². If the parallel sides are of length 7.5 cm and 5.3 cm, calculate the perpendicular distance between them

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 4.9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular distance between them that's the height we use the formula

[tex]Area \: \: of \: \: a \: \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h[/tex]

where

a and b are the parallel sides of the trapezium

h is the perpendicular distance

From the question

Area = 31.5cm²

a = 7.5 cm

b = 5.3 cm

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

[tex]31 .5 = \frac{1}{2} (7.5 + 5.3) \times h[/tex]

[tex]31.5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12.8h[/tex]

[tex]31.5 = 6.4h[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6.4

[tex]h = \frac{31.5}{6.4} [/tex]

h = 4.921875

We have the final answer

h = 4.9cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of PEMDAS you start with the parentheses and distribute the 4.

So,

(12x + 8) -6 x 6

Then, solve for the 6's

(12x + 8) -36

Remove the parentheses

12x + 8 - 36

Lastly, you get

12x - 28.

This is as far as you can go because there is no equals sign so you cannot actually solve for x.

a=6.00, b=7.56, y = 54°

Answers

Answer:

c=6.31, a=50.28 degrees, B=75.72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine rule of trigonometry helps us to equate the side of the triangles to the angles of the triangles. The remaining parts of the triangle can be found as shown.

What is Sine rule?

The sine rule of trigonometry helps us to equate the side of the triangles to the angles of the triangles. It is given by the formula,

[tex]\dfrac{Sin\ A}{\alpha} =\dfrac{Sin\ B}{\beta} =\dfrac{Sin\ C}{\gamma}[/tex]

where Sin A is the angle and α is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle A,

Sin B is the angle and β is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle B,

Sin C is the angle and γ is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle C.

Given that the length of side a and b is 6 and 7.56, also, the measure of the angle γ is 54°.

Now, Using the law of cosine, we can write,

[tex]c =\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 -2ab\cdot \cos\gamma}[/tex]

[tex]c =\sqrt{(6)^2 + (7.56)^2 -2(6)(7.56)\cdot \cos(54^o)}[/tex]

c = √39.8297

c = 6.311

Now, using the sine law the ratio of the sides and angles can be written as,

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{a} =\dfrac{\sin\beta}{b} =\dfrac{\sin\gamma}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{6} =\dfrac{\sin\beta}{7.56} =\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{6}=\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

α = 50.2775°

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\beta}{7.56} =\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

β = 75.726°

Hence, the remaining parts of the triangle can be found as shown.

The statement is false and the proof is as follows

Literally, rational numbers are decimal numbers that can be represented as a fraction of two integers;

Take for instance: 0.2, 0.5, 2.25, etc.

When any of these numbers is multiplied by an integer, the resulting number can take any of two forms;

1. It can result to an integer:

For instance;

[tex]0.2 * 5 = 1[/tex]

[tex]0.5 * 4 = 2[/tex]

[tex]2.25 * 8 = 18[/tex]

2. It can result in a decimal number

For instance;

[tex]0.2 * 3 = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]0.5 * 5 = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]2.25 * 7 = 15.75[/tex]

From (1) above, we understand that the product can result in an integer.

find the last common denominator for these two rational expressions

Answers

Answer:

Least common denominator = (x - 1)²(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common denominator of two rational expressions = LCM of the denominator of the expressions.

[tex]\frac{x^3}{x^2-2x+1}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{-3}{x^{2}-3x+2}[/tex]

Factorize the denominators of these rational expressions,

Since, [tex]x^{2}-2x+1[/tex] = x² - 2x + 1

                             = (x - 1)²

And x² - 3x + 2 = x² - 2x - x + 2

                         = x(x - 2) -1(x - 2)

                         = (x - 1)(x - 2)

Now LCM of the denominators = (x - 1)²(x - 2)

Therefore, Least common denominator will be (x - 1)²(x - 2).
