Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!

Find f if f′(x)=2x−3/x^4, x>0 and f(1)=2.

slavikrds [6]

$f'(x)=2x-\dfrac3{x^4}$
$\displaystyle\int f'(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int\left(2x-\frac3{x^4}\right)\,\mathrm dx$
$f(x)=x^2+\dfrac1{x^3}+C$

Given that $f(1)=2$ , we get

$2=1^2+\dfrac1{1^3}+C$
$2=2+C$
$\implies C=2$

so that

$f(x)=x^2+\dfrac1{x^3}$

Simplify the following expression:<br> 4x - 3y + 2z - 3x - y + 3z = ?

nordsb [41]

Add all the like terms together so 4x-3x is x or 1x -3y-y is -4y 2z+3z is 5z so put them all together it's x-4y+5z
