Let smaller number be x/2 and the larger number x.

x/2 + x = 81
x/2 + x = 3x/2
3x/2 = 81
3x = 162
x= 54

The smaller number is 54/2= 27 and the larger number is 54.

A particle moves along the curve y = 5x^2 – 1 in such a way that the y value is decreasing at the rate of 2 units per second. At
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Increasing one fifth unit/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that gives the curve of the particle of the particle is y = 5·x² - 1

The rate of decrease of the y value dy/dt = 2 units per second

We have;

dy/dx = dy/dt × dt/dx

dy/dx = 10·x

dy/dt = 2 units/sec

dt/dx = (dy/dx)/(dy/dt)

dx/dt = dy/dt/(dy/dx) = 2 unit/sec/(10·x)

When x = 1

dx/dt = 2/(10·x) = 2 unit/sec/(10 × 1) = 1/5 unit/sec

dx/dt = 1/5 unit/sec

Therefore, x is increasing one fifth unit/sec.
