Answer:

(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>
  • Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
  • Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000

<h3>Case-2:</h3>
  • Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
  • Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

2x   - 3y  +  z = 0

<h3>Case-3:</h3>
  • Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
  • Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

- x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000

Thus our system of equations is

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

Now solve the equation accordingly:

\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

You have recorded your car mileage and gasoline use for 5 weeks. Estimate the number of miles you can drive on a full 15-gallon
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

325 miles to the nearest mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average  gasoline consumption over the 5 weeks

= miles travelled / gasoline used

= (198 + 115 + 154 + 160 + 132) / (9 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 6)

= 21.69 miles per gallon.

Estimate of number of miles you can drive on 15 gallons

= 15 * 21.69

= 325 miles.

Lim x→π/2 1-sinx/cot^2x<br>any genious help please ​
Simora [160]

Rewrite the limand as

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / (cos²(<em>x</em>) / sin²(<em>x</em>))

… = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / cos²(<em>x</em>)

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(<em>x</em>) + cos²(<em>x</em>) = 1

Then

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / (1 - sin²(<em>x</em>))

Factorize the denominator; it's a difference of squares, so

1 - sin²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Cancel the common factor of 1 - sin(<em>x</em>) in the numerator and denominator:

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = sin²(<em>x</em>) / (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Now the limand is continuous at <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2, so

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{1-\sin(x)}{\cot^2(x)}=\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{\sin^2(x)}{1+\sin(x)}=\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac\pi2\right)}{1+\sin\left(\frac\pi2\right)}=\boxed{\frac12}
