Answer:

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

Total parts:

2+3+9 = 14

500/14 = 250/7

2×250/7 : 3×250/7 : 9×250/7

500/7 : 750/7 : 2250/7

The largest share is 2250/7, the smallest share is 500/7.

Find the difference.

2250/7 - 500/7 = 250

Answer:

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3x+9x= $500

9x-2x= 7x=?

14x= $500

7x= $500/2= $250

Complete parts a through c for the given function.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. The critcal points are at

x=0,-5,3

b. Then, x = -5   is a maximum and x=3 is a minimum

c. The absolute minimum is at   x = 3  and the absolute maximum is at  x = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Remember that you need to find the points where

f'(x)=0

Therefore you have to solve this equation.

20x^4  + 40x^3 - 300x^2 = 0

From that equation you can factor out    20x^2  and you would get

20x^2 (  x^2  +2x - 15)  = 0

And from that you would have   20x^2 = 0  , so x = 0.

And you would also have  x^2 +2x-15 = 0.

You can factor that equation as    x^2 +2x -15 = (x+5)(x-3) = 0

Therefore   x=-5 ,   x=3.

So the critcal points are at

x=0,-5,3

b.  

Remember that a function has a maximum at a critical point if the second derivative at that point is negative. Since

f''(x) = 80x^3 + 120x^2 -600x\\f''(-5) = 80(-5)^3 + 120(-5)^2 -600(-5) = -4000 < 0\\\\f''(3) = 80(3)^3 + 120(3)^2 -600(3) = 1440 > 0 \\

Then, x = -5   is a maximum and x=3 is a minimum

c.

The absolute minimum is at   x = 3  and the absolute maximum is at  x = -5.

The surface area of this cube is 96 square meters. what is the value of y?
ELEN [110]
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is A=6y^2 where y is the side length. we know a=96. so we just isolate y.
96/6= 6y^2 / 6
16=y^2
sqrt (16) = sqrt(y^2)
4=y

So y is 4

Drag each tile to the correct box. Each tile shows an investor's tax bracket along with the tax-free yield of a bond the investo
shusha [124]

The tax bracket and tax-free yield will be (18%, 3%) < (32%, 3%) < (32% , 4%) < (22% , 5%) < (24% , 6%) .

<h3>Taxable equivalent yield based problem:</h3>

The taxable equivalent yield will be:

= Tax-free yield / (100 - Tax bracket)

Taxable equivalent yield =  3 / (100 - 18) = 0.03659

Taxable equivalent yield = 6 / (100 - 24) = 0.07895

Taxable equivalent yield = 3 / (100 - 32) = 0.04412

Taxable equivalent yield = 5 / (100 - 22) = 0.06410

Taxable equivalent yield = 4 / (100 - 32) = 0.05882
