The fuel cost per hour for running a ship is approximately one half the cube of the speed (measured in knots) plus additional fi

xed costs of $216 per hour. Find the most economical speed to run the ship for a 500 M (nautical mile) trip. Note: Assume that there are no major disturbances, such as heavy tides or stormy seas

Answer:

6 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed be v knots

then time taken to cover 500 M = 500 / v hrs

fuel consumption /hr = 216 + 0.5v^3

let F be the fuel consumption for trip

= [500/v][216 + 0.5v^3]

= 500[216/v + 0.5v^2]

dF/dv = 500[ - 216/v^2 + v]

d^2F/d^2v = 500[432/v^3 + 1] , i.e. +ve

so setting dF/dv will give a minima

500[ -216/v^2 + v] = 0

or v = 216/v^2

or v^3 = 216

solving, we get v = [216]^(1/3) = 6 knots

I buy a MP3 player for £40 in a sale where it was 20% off. What was the original price
natta225 [31]
20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50

I don't know how to work this problem out
madam [21]
1/5(x-y) = 1
x+y = 9

x-y = 5 (x5)
x+y = 9

First you want to create both equations so at least one of the variables (x or y) are the same in both equations, so that is why I multiplied the top one by 5, you multiply the whole equation (both sides)

2x = 14
x = 7

Then you either Plus or minus one from the other, I plused the top one onto the bottom one, then solved for x

7 + y = 9
y = 2

Then put x back into one of the first two equations to get Y
