Maria and Sheila total marks are illustrations of proportions

The total marks obtained by both is 156

<h3>How to determine their total marks?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Sheila = 96 marks

2/5 of Maria's marks = 1/4 of Sheila's marks

The second highlight above means that:

2/5 * Maria = 1/4 * 96

Multiply both sides by 5/2

Maria = 1/4 * 96 * 5/2

Evaluate the product

Maria = 60

Their total mark is then calculated as:

Total = Sheila + Mark

This gives

Total = 96 + 60

Evaluate the sum

Total = 156

Hence, the total marks obtained by both is 156

Find the values of m and b that make the following function differentiable.
KengaRu [80]

f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2&\text{for }x\le2\\mx+b&\text{for }x>2\end{cases}

In order to be differentiable everywhere, f must first be continuous everywhere, which means the limits from either side as x\to2 must be the same and equal to f(2). By definition, f(2)=2^2=4, and

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}x^2=4

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}(mx+b)=2m+b

so we need to have 4m+b=4.

For f to be differentiable at x=2, the derivative needs to be continuous at x=2, i.e.

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to2^+}f'(x)

We then need to have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}2x=\lim_{x\to2}m\implies\boxed{m=4}

Then

2m+b=4\implies\boxed{b=-4}

Let f(x)=3x+4 and g(x)= 5-x. Find (g o f)(6)
Bond [772]

1. Substitute the function f(x) into x in g(x)

2. Simply your results in 1. now you have (g o f)(x)

3. Now substitute 6 into your results in 2 to get (g o f)(6)

The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 78. What is the largest of the integers?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?

In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n.   If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.

No stress!  Just logic! Keep the faith!
