For the equation given below, evaluate y′ at the point (−2,−1).<br><br> 3xy−3x−12=0.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Y'=3xy-3x-12

Y'=F(-2,-1)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the equation at the point (-2,-1)

is where the equation make the function go to zero:

Y'=3xy-3x-12

Y'=F(-2,-1)=[3(-2)(-1)]-[3(-1)]-12

F(-2,-1)=[6]-[-6]-12

F(-2,-1)=6+6-12

F(-2,-1)=12-12

F(-2,-1)=0

Solving for y

3xy-3x-12=0

y=4/x+x

Making y=0

\frac{4}{x}+x=0

x^{2} =-4

x=-2

So the values make the function go to zero

Janeel has a 10-inch by 12-inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the result
Vaselesa [24]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Janeel has a 10 inch by 12 inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the results by the same amount in each dimension to post on her Web site. Janeel wants the area of the image to be one eight of the original photograph. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image. Find the dimensions of the reduced image.

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

A) (10-x)(12-x)=15

B) Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image.

Let the reduced dimensions is by x , So the new dimensions are

length=10-x\\breadth=12-x

According to question , Area of new image is :

⇒ Area = \frac{1}{8}Length(breadth)

⇒ Area = \frac{1}{8}(10)(12)

⇒ Area = 15

So the equation will be :

⇒ (10-x)(12-x)=15

b. Find the dimensions of the reduced image

Let's solve :  (10-x)(12-x)=15

⇒ 120-10x-12x+x^2=15

⇒ 120-22x+x^2=15

⇒ x^2-22x+105=0

By Quadratic formula :

⇒ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

⇒ x = \frac{22 \pm8 }{2}

⇒ x = \frac{22 +8 }{2} , x = \frac{22 -8 }{2}

⇒ x = 15 , x =7

x = 15 is rejected ! as 15 > 10 ! Side can't be negative

⇒ x =7

Therefore, Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

The coffee shop also sells small bag of coffee beans. the bags come in two 4/5 kilogram and 7/12 kilogram. How much more coffee
Vesnalui [34]
I believe it is 13/60

First, you would make them have common denominators
4/5 (12/12) is 48/60
7/12 (5/55 is 35/60
Second, you want to find the difference
48-35=13
So from that, I would assume that the difference between the two is 13/60

A certain number of sixes and nines is added to give a sum of 126; if the number of sixes and nines is interchanged, the new sum
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Original number of sixes = 6

Original number of nines = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

A certain number of sixes and nines is added to give a sum of 126

Let us represent originally

the number of sixes = a

the number of nines = b

Hence:

6 × a + 9 × b = 126

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

If the number of sixes and nines is interchanged, the new sum is 114.

For this second part, because it is interchanged,

Let us represent

the number of sixes = b

the number of nines = a

6 × b + 9 × a = 114

6b + 9a = 114.......Equation 2

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of a in Equation 2

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of a in Equation 1

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1 × 9

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2 × 6

54a + 81b = 1134 ........ Equation 3

54a + 36b = 684.........Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

= 45b = 450

divide both sides by b

45b/45 = 450/45

b = 10

Therefore, since the original the number of nines = b,

Original number of nines = 10

Also, to find the original number of sixes = a

We substitute 10 for b in Equation 1

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

6a + 9 × 10 = 126

6a + 90 = 126

6a = 126 - 90

6a = 36

a = 36/6

a = 6

Therefore, the original number of sixes is 6

Mickey tosses a coin 50 times and records 27 heads. Based on these results, what is the probability if
JulijaS [17]

The probability of getting three tails in three tosses When Mickey tosses a coin 50 times and records 27 heads is 12,167:125,000.

<h3>What is probability of an event?</h3>

It is the ratio in an event of the number of favorable outcome to the total number of outcome of that event.

As the probability of an event can not be more than the number 1. Thus, he probability of failure of a event is equal to the difference of the 1 to the success of the event.

Mickey tosses a coin 50 times and records 27 heads. Thus, the probability of getting a head is,

P=\dfrac{27}{50}\\

The probability of not getting a head or getting a tail is,

P^{-1}=1-\dfrac{27}{50}\\P^{-1}=\dfrac{50-27}{50}\\P^{-1}=\dfrac{23}{50}

Now, Mickey tosses the same coin three more times. The probability of getting three tails in these tosses are,

P_{3t}=\dfrac{23}{50}\times\dfrac{23}{50}\times\dfrac{23}{50}\\P_{3t}=\dfrac{12167}{125000}

Thus, the probability of getting three tails in three tosses When Mickey tosses a coin 50 times and records 27 heads is 12,167:125,000.
