Answer:

1 7/8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Yuan has left can be found by multiplying the original amount by the fraction he has left.

After using 1/2 of the broth for soup, the fraction remaining is ...

1 -1/2 = 1/2

The amount Yuan used for gravy is 1/4 of this, or ...

(1/4)(1/2) = 1/8 . . . of the original amount of broth

The total fraction Yuan used was ...

fraction used = fraction for soup + fraction for broth = 1/2 +1/8 = 5/8

<h3>remaining</h3>

Then the fraction remaining is ...

fraction remaining = 1 - fraction used = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.

The amount remaining is this fraction of the original amount:

(3/8)(5 quarts) = 15/8 quarts = 1 7/8 quarts . . . . remaining

At what point of the curve y = cosh(x does the tangent have slope 2?

Dahasolnce [82]

The hyperbolic cos (cosh) is given by
cosh (x) = (e^x + e^-x) / 2
The slope of a tangent line to a function at a point is given by the derivative of that function at that point.
d/dx [cosh(x)] = d/dx[(e^x + e^-x) / 2] = (e^x - e^-x) / 2 = sinh(x)
Given that the slope is 2, thus
sinh(x) = 2
x = sinh^-1 (2) = 1.444

Therefore, the curve of y = cosh(x) has a slope of 2 at point x = 1.44

Substitution method <br><br> x-7y=-9<br> -x+8y=10

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = -2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-7y=-9---------------------equation 1

-x+8y=10-------------------equation 2

From equation 1, make x the subject of formula

x=7y-9----------------------equation 3

substituting x=7y-9 in equation 2,

-(7y-9)+8y=10

Expanding bracket

-7y+9+8y=10

Collecting like terms

8y-7y=10-9

y=1

substituting y=1 in 3

x=7(1)-9

x=7-9

x=-2

Answer:

The amount of wood left is 36 9/16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount of wood left

To calculate this, we have to subtract what is cut and what is wasted from the original total length

So we have what is left as follows;

45 1/2 - 8 7/8 - 1/16

45 1/2 = 91/2

8 7/8 = 71/8

91/2 - 71/8 - 1/16

(728 - 142 - 1)/16

585/16 = 36 9/16 in
