Answer:

Athena weighs 6 pounds. (Zeus weighs 3 pounds).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that A (Athena) + Z (Zeus) = 9. And we know that Zeus weighs three pounds less than Athena. Knowing this we can do
1 + 8 = 9
2 + 7 = 9
3 + 6 = 9
We can see that 6 and 3 equal 9 and 6 is 3 away from 3, getting us the answer that Athena weighs 6 pounds. :) I hope this helps! ^^

X + (X-3) = 9
2X -3 = 9
2X = 12
X = 6

X-3 = ?
6-3 = 3

One cat weighs 6 lbs and one weighs 3 lbs for total of 9 lbs. Athena weighs 6 lbs.

The rate of change of revenue (in dollars per calculator) from the sale of x calculators is R′(x)=(x+1)ln(x+1)R ′ (x)=(x+1)ln(x+

jekas [21]

Answer:

Total revenue = $\frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}$ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

$R'(x)=(x+1)\ln(x+1)$

Integrate with respect to $x$ .

$R(x)=$ ∫ $(x+1)\ln(x+1)$ dx

Take $x+1=u$

Differentiate with respect to $x$

$dx=du$

So,

$R(x)=$ ∫ $u\ln(u)\,du$

Use integration by parts: ∫f g dx = f∫ g dx-∫(∫g dx)f' dx

Therefore,

$R(x)=$ $\frac{u^2}{2}\ln(u)$ $-$ ∫ $\frac{u^2}{2}\frac{1}{u}\,du$

= $\frac{u^2}{2}\ln(u)$ $-$ ∫ $\frac{u}{2}\,du$

Put $u=x+1$

$R(x)= \frac{(x+1)^2}{2}\ln(x+1)-\frac{(x+1)^2}{4}$

To find total revenue from the sale of the first 12 calculators, put $x=12$

$R(x)= \frac{(12+1)^2}{2}\ln(12+1)-\frac{(12+1)^2}{4}\\\\= \frac{(13)^2}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{(13)^2}{4}\\\\=\frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}$

Total revenue = $\frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}$ dollars

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS AND EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$A = 297\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to be familiar with the formula for the surface area of a cone:

$A = \pi r(r + \sqrt{h^2+r^2})$

We are given the length of a side and the diameter, to calculate the radius divide the diameter in half:

$r = \frac{d}{2}\\r = \frac{18}{2}\\r = 9 cm$

To calculate the height of the cone, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem:

$C^2 = A^2 + B^2$

We can treat the side length as the hypotenuse $C$ , the radius as the base $A$ , and solve for height $B$ . Set the expression up like this:

$C^2 = A^2 + B^2\\24^2 = 9^2 + B^2\\B^2 = 24^2 - 9^2\\B = \sqrt{24^2 - 9^2}\\B = \sqrt{576 - 81}\\B = \sqrt{495}\\B \approx 22.25$

Now we can plug into our original formula:

$A = \pi r(r + \sqrt{h^2+r^2})\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{\sqrt{495}^2+9^2}\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{495 + 81}\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{576})\\A = \pi 9(9 + 24)\\A = \pi 9(33)\\A = 297\pi$

26=5(x+10)+3x whatsy answer how do I get it??

olga_2 [115]

26 = 5 (x + 10) + 3x
26 = 5x + 50 + 15x
26 = 5x +15x + 50
26 = 20x + 50
26 - 50 = 20x - 50
-14 = 20x
-14 / 20 = x
-0.7 = x
