Answer:

  • 8 3/4
  • 2, 3
  • 4 1/2, 11 1/4
  • 9 3/4, 16 1/4
  • Y/B = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

The first line is simply the sum of the two given numbers.

  3 1/2 +5 1/4 = (3+5) +(2/4+1/4) = 8 3/4

__

To find values on the remaining lines, it is convenient to find the ratios of the numbers involved. The ratio of yellow to blue is ...

  Y/B = (3 1/2)/(5 1/4) = (7/2)/(21/4) = (7/2)(4/21) = 2/3

Then ...

  Y : B : total = 2 : 3 : 5

This tells you the numbers on the second line are ...

  Y = 2; B = 3

__

The value for B on the third line is the basic ratio number multiplied by (6 3/4)/3 = 2 1/4. Then the other two numbers are ...

  Y = 2(2 1/4) = 4 1/2

  total = 5(2 1/4) = 11 1/4

__

The value for Y on the fourth line is the basic ratio number multiplied by (6 1/2)/2 = 3 1/4. Then the other two numbers are ...

  B = 3(3 1/4) = 9 3/4

  total = 5(3 1/4) = 16 1/4

_____

<h3>b)</h3>

The equation is the one we used to find the values on the second line:

  Y/B = 2/3

Can I get some help with 4) and 5) plz
bulgar [2K]
Plan 1 is the best choice because plan 2 would be an extra $120.00 more for the year.

No because Pam is reading 42 pages every hour so in 5 hours she would have only read 210 pages. Zack is reading 45 pages in an hour so he would finish just under 5 hours.

find the equations of the tangents to the curve y= x(x-1)(x+2) at the points where the curve cuts the x axis
antoniya [11.8K]

First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have

x(x-1)(x+2) = 0 \iff x=0\ \lor\ x-1=0\ \lor\ x+2=0

Which means that the roots are

x=0\ \lor\ x=1\ \lor\ x=-2

Next, we can expand the function definition:

y = x(x-1)(x+2) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x

In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:

y' = 3x^2+2x-2

If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have

y'(-2) = 6,\quad y'(0)=-2,\quad y'(1)=3

This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

is what we need. The three lines are:

y-0=6(x+2) \iff y = 6x+12  This is the tangent at x = -2

y-0=-2(x-0) \iff y = -2x  This is the tangent at x = 0

y-0=3(x-1) \iff y = 3x-3  This is the tangent at x = 1
