f (x)=-5x^2+7x+6

df(x)/dx=-10x+7

set df(x)/dx=0 to find vertex

10x=7

x=7/10

Use Cramer Rule to solve the following system: 8x−5y=70 and 9x+7y=3

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (5,-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{\textbf{Determinant of a matrix.}}\\\\\text{For a}~ 2 \times 2 ~ \text{matrix,}\\\\\begin{vmatrix} a_1&a_2\\b_1&b_2 \end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2 - a_2b_1\\\\\\\text{For a}~ 3 \times 3 ~ \text{matrix,}\\\\\begin{vmatrix} a_1&a_2&a_3\\ b_1&b_2&b_3\\ c_1&c_2&c_3 \end{vmatrix} = a_1\begin{vmatrix} b_2&b_3\\c_2&c_3 \end{vmatrix} - a_2 \begin{vmatrix} b_1&b_3\\c_1&c_3 \end{vmatrix}+ a_3 \begin{vmatrix} b_1&b_2\\c_1&c_2 \end{vmatrix}\\\\\\$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=a_1(b_2c_3-b_3c_2) -a_2(b_1c_3-b_3c_1) +a_3(b_1c_2-b_2c_1)$

$\underline{\textbf{Cramer's Rule to solve a system of two equations.}}\\\\\text{Consider the system of two equations:}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a_1x + b_1 y= c_1\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a_2x +b_2 y = c_2\\\\\text{Here,}\\\\x = \dfrac{D_x}{D}= \dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} c_1&b_1\\c_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\ y= \dfrac{D_y}{D}= \dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&c_1\\a_2&c_2 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}\\\\$

$\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~8x-5y = 70~~~~~~...(i)\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9x +7y = 3~~~~~~~...(ii)\\\\\text{Applying Cramer's rule:}\\\\x = \dfrac{D_x}{D}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} 70& -5 \\3&7 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} 8& -5\\ 9& 7\end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{70(7) -(-5)(3)}{(8)(7)-(-5)(9)}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{490+15}{56+45}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{505}{101}\\\\\\~~=5$

$y = \dfrac{D_y}{D}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} 8& 70 \\9&3 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} 8& -5\\ 9& 7\end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{(8)(3) -(70)(9)}{(8)(7)-(-5)(9)}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{24-630}{56+45}\\\\\\~~=-\dfrac{606}{101}\\\\\\~~=-6$

$\textbf{Hence, the solution to the system of equation is}~ (x,y) = (5,-6)$

Yuri purchased 8 trees to have planted at his house. The store charged a delivery fee of $5 per tree.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the cost of each tree.

We have been given that Yuri purchased 8 trees to have planted at his house. So the cost of 8 trees will be 8t.

We are also told that the store charged a delivery fee of $5 per tree. So the delivery charges of 8 trees will be $8\times \$5=\$40$
