It is not differentiable at x=1 since the slope of the tangent line as x -> 1 from the right is 1 while the slope of the tangent line as x->1 from the left is -1

By definition of absolute value:

|x - 1| = \begin{cases} x - 1 & \text{if } x \ge 1 \\ -(x-1) & \text{if } x < 1 \end{cases}

Then the derivative is

\dfrac{d|x-1|}{dx} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x > 1 \\ -1 & \text{if } x < 1\end{cases}

but does not exist at x=1 because

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^-} f'(x) = -1

while

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^+} f'(x) = 1

and these limits are not equal, so the derivative is discontinuous and hence |x-1| is not differentiable at x=1.

Bob brings home 156.40 his gross is 184.00 what percentage do he bring home​
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage we will have to start by dividing the amount he brings home by the gross.

156.4 / 184 = 0.85

By doing this, we get the answer in decimal form, which is not what we want.

Multiply it by 100 to convert it into a percent.

0.85 x 100 = 85.

Now, we know that he brings home 85% of his gross.

Suppose you buy 4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64. If you bought 8
Sophie [7]

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.

So we have ,

4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64

8  buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72

Writing this in the equation form we have,

4A + 5P = 64

8A + 3P = 72

Step 2:

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs

Equation 1 is

4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128

Equation 2  = 8A + 3P = 72

Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8

Substituting this in equation 1 we have

8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6

Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.

Option D is the correct answer.
