Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it.  We can call it anything.  I'd like to call it ' G '.

The number we're looking for is ' G '.

Half of it is  1/2 G

The sum of that and 6 is          1/2 G + 6

Ten times that is              10 (1/2 G + 6)

The question says that's 8.
                                        So       10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8

Divide each side by  10 :                1/2 G + 6  =  0.8

Subtract  6  from each side:            1/2 G  =  - 5.2

Multiply each side by  2 :                        G  =  - 10.4

That seems like a weird answer.  We should check it.

The number:                                         -10.4
Half the number:                                   - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6:      -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum:                                                  8

Yep !  By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !  
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is      - 10.4

What is the derivative of y with respect to x if y = 2/X4
zepelin [54]
You're correct, the answer is C.

Given any function of the form y=x^n, then the derivative of y with respect to x (\frac{dy}{dx}) is written as:
\frac{dy}{dx}=nx^n^-^1

In which n is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.

For this example we have y= \frac{2}{x^4}, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form y=x^n:
y= \frac{2}{x^4} =2x^-^4

Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which n=-4):
\frac{dy}{dx}=(2)(-4)x^{-4-1}=-8 x^{-5}= -\frac{8}{x^5}

Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).

According to the United States Health and Human Services, the mean height for Americans is 1.757 meters for men and 1.618 meters
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Her z-score is 2.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Michelle’s height is 1.758 meters. What is her z-score?

Michelle's is a woman.

The average height of women is \mu = 1.618 and the standard deviation is \sigma = 0.069

This is Z when X = 1.758. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1.758 - 1.618}{0.069}

Z = 2.03

Her z-score is 2.03.
