James has a job with a current salary of $42,000. He wants to earn a college degree that will take him 2 years to complete and i

t will cost $28,000 per year. He will go to school full time and will not be able to work. Upon graduation, James' new salary will be $56,000 per year. How many years will it take James to recover his investment?

To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The current salary of James is \$ 42000.

The time taken to complete the college degree is 2{\text{ years}}.

The cost of the college degree is \$ 28000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

Calculation:

The total investment of James can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Investment}} &= {\text{Salary of 2 years}} + {\text{2 years tuition fees}} \\&= 2 \times 42000 + 2 \times 28000\\&= 84000 + 56000\\&= \$ 140000\\\end{aligned}

The total investment for 2 years will be \$ 140000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

The time taken by James to recover \$ 140000.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Time}} &= \frac{{140000}}{{56000}}\\&= 2.5{\text{ years}}\\\end{aligned}

To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

It will take 2.5 years for James to recover his investment.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

From the above problem, we get these information

- James' current salary is $42000/year

- His college's tuition fee is $ 28000/year

- It takes 2 years to complete his degree

- Salary after finish degree is $ 56000

<u>Question:</u>

How many years will it take James to recover his investment?

James' investment would be his college's tuition fee for 2 years and the salary that he should get while away from work for 2 years.

Those statement can be write down:

investment = 2 years tuition + 2 years salary

\boxed {investment = (2 \times42000)+ (2\times28000) }\\\boxed {investment = 84000+56000=140000 }

so the total investment is $ 140000

After finished study, James salary would be $56000/year, so the investment will recover in

\boxed {\frac{140000}{56000} = 2.5 years }

hence, the investment will recover in 2.5 years.

Chase consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

(a) The 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b) The 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

(c) The amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink is 149.112 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in Chase's body decreases exponentially.

The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine is 0.2542.

The 1-hour decay factor is:

1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720

(a)

Compute the 5-hour decay factor as follows:

5-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.8720)^{5}\\=0.504176\\\approx0.5042

Thus, the 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b)

The 1-hour decay factor is:

1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720

Thus, the 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

(c)

The equation to compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body is:

A = Initial amount × (0.8720)<em>ⁿ</em>

It is provided that initially Chase had 171 mg of caffeine, 1.39 hours after consuming the drink.

Compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink as follows:

A = Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{2.39} \\=[Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{1.39}] \times(0.8720)\\=171\times 0.8720\\=149.112

Thus, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink is 149.112 mg.

I need to find the derivative. I’m not very good at this so I am answer asap would be sosososo helpful
Bingel [31]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let f(x)=\sqrt{x} and g(x)=7x^2+4x+1. Then, the given equation is essentially f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}. Thus, we can use the chain rule.

Recall the chain rule: \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x). So, let's find the derivative of each function:

f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}

We can use the Power Rule here:

f'(x)=(x^\frac{1}{2})'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{-\frac{1}{2}  })=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}

Now:

g(x)=7x^2+4x+1

Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule

g'(x)=(7x^2+4x+1)'=(7x^2)'+(4x)'+(1)'=14x+4

Now, we can put them together:

y'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g(x)}} \cdot (14x+4)

y'=\frac{14x+4}{2\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} } =\frac{7x+2}{\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} }

Solve x - 5y = 6 for x.<br> Ox= -5y + 6<br> Ox= -5y - 6<br> Ox = 5y + 6<br> Ox = 5y - 6
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve x-5y=6 for x

First, we need to isolate the x by moving -5y to the other side.

To do this, we need to add 5y to both sides

x - 5y=  6

  +5y   +5y

x= 5y+6

So, your third answer is correct
