Let's say we're at the store and you want to buy 10 boxes of cookies for a party. Each box of cookies cost 4.89(counting tax), you don't know if you have enough money to buy the cookies with the $65.00 you have with you. You could round the price up to $5.00 and do more simple multiplication. Your total would estimate about $50.00. Now you know you have more than enough money to buy cookies. I hope that makes sense. :)

Last week a candle store received $515.90 for selling 30 candles. Small candles sell for $11.25 and large candles sell for $22.4
alex41 [277]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=30  solve for x   x=30-y

substitute x with 30-y and solve

11.25x+22.4y=515.9

11.25(30-y)+22.4y=515.9

337.5+11.15y=515.9

11.15y=178.4

y=16

since we're solving for just large candles it's 16

if need small cangle number 30-16=14

Determine if f(x, y) = 10 − x^2 − y^2
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. x is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-2x-0

dz/dx=-2x

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dx=-2(7)=-14.

Since this result is negative, it mrans as x increases z decreases.

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. y is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-0-2y

dz/dx=-2y

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dy=-2(-3)=6.

Since this result is positive it mrans as y increases z decreases.
