9/10 minis what equals 1/5?

Mathematics

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation to solve the problem

1/5 = 9/10 - x

Lets make them all have a common denominator

1/5 = 2/10

Subtract the 9/10

2/10 = 9/10 - x

- 9/10 - 9/10

-7/10 = -x

Since -x equals -7/10, that means positive x equals 7/10

The answer then comes out to:

x = 7/10

Francisco needed to get his computer fixed. He took it to the repair

grin007 [14]

Answer:

$95 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of charges is the sum of the cost of labor and the cost of parts. The cost of labor is the product of hours (5) and the cost per hour (x). Then the equation for total cost is ...

total cost = parts cost + hours cost

651 = 176 + 5x

475 = 5x . . . . . . . subtract 176

95 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The cost of labor per hour is $95.

The base of a pyramid has n sides. Write and expression for the number of faces of the pyramid

11111nata11111 [884]

Remark

The number of faces reaching out in the 3rd dimension of the pyramid = the number of edges on the base.

Givens

Number of edges (or sides on the base)= e

Number of faces = f

Formula

F = e + 1 Don't forget that the base is also a face.

A company manufactures running shoes and basketball shoes. The total revenue (in thousands of dollars) from x1 units of running

Alborosie

Answer:

$x_1 =2 , x_2=7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the revenue function given by $R(x_1,x_2) = -5x_1^2-8x_2^2 -2x_1x_2+34x_1+116x_2$ . We want to find the values of each of the variables such that the gradient( i.e the first partial derivatives of the function) is 0. Then, we have the following (the explicit calculations of both derivatives are omitted).

$\frac{dR}{dx_1} = -10x_1-2x_2+34 =0$

$\frac{dR}{dx_2} = -16x_2-2x_1+116 =0$

From the first equation, we get, $x_2 = \frac{-10x_1+34}{2}$ .If we replace that in the second equation, we get

$-16\frac{-10x_1+34}{2} -2x_1+116=0= 80x_1-2x_1+116-272= 78x_1-156$

From where we get that $x_1 = \frac{156}{78}=2$ . If we replace that in the first equation, we get

$x_2 = \frac{-10\cdot 2 +34}{2}=\frac{14}{2} = 7$

So, the critical point is $(x_1,x_2) = (2,7)$ . We must check that it is a maximum. To do so, we will use the Hessian criteria. To do so, we must calculate the second derivatives and the crossed derivatives and check if the criteria is fulfilled in order for it to be a maximum. We get that

$\frac{d^2R}{dx_1dx_2}= -2 = \frac{d^2R}{dx_2dx_1}$

$\frac{d^2R}{dx_{1}^2}=-10, \frac{d^2R}{dx_{2}^2}=-16$

We have the following matrix,

$\left[\begin{matrix} -10 & -2 \\ -2 & -16\end{matrix}\right]$ .

Recall that the Hessian criteria says that, for the point to be a maximum, the determinant of the whole matrix should be positive and the element of the matrix that is in the upper left corner should be negative. Note that the determinant of the matrix is $(-10)\cdot (-16) - (-2)(-2) = 156>0$ and that -10<0. Hence, the criteria is fulfilled and the critical point is a maximum
