Answer:

The cost of a ribeye steak dinner is $18.60.

The cost of a grilled salmon dinner is $9.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be the cost of a ribeye steak dinner

let g be the cost of a grilled salmon dinner

Represent the two situations using equations:

12r + 39g = 575.53 (equation 1)

25r + 13g = 582.43 (equation 2)

The best method to use for this case is elimination, which is when you get rid of one of the variables by subtracting or adding.

Since the coefficients for "g" are 39 and 13, they can be eliminated if equation 2 was triple itself.

(25r + 13g = 582.43) X 3

= 75r + 39g = 1747.29 (new equation 2)

Subtract "equation 1" from "new equation 2"

. 75r + 39g = 1747.29

<u>- 12r + 39g = 575.53</u>

. 63r + 0g = 1171.76 <=we only deal with "r" because 0g is nothing

. 63r = 1171.76 <=divide both sides by 63 to isolate r

. r = 18.60 <=rounded from 18.599...

The cost of a ribeye steak dinner is $18.60.

Use any one of the equations to solve for "g", the cost of grilled salmon dinners. I will use equation 1.

12r + 39g = 575.53

Substitute r = 18.6

12(18.6) + 39g = 575.53 <=only one variable now

223.2 + 39g = 575.53 <=subtract 223.2 from both sides

39g = 352.33 <=divide both sides by 39 to isolate g

g = 9.03 <=rounded from 9.0341...

The cost of a grilled salmon dinner is $9.03.

Let f(x,y,z) = ztan-1(y2) i + z3ln(x2 + 1) j + z k. find the flux of f across the part of the paraboloid x2 + y2 + z = 3 that li

Sophie [7]

Consider the closed region $V$ bounded simultaneously by the paraboloid and plane, jointly denoted $S$ . By the divergence theorem,

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm dS=\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

And since we have

$\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)=1$

the volume integral will be much easier to compute. Converting to cylindrical coordinates, we have

$\displaystyle\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV=\iiint_V\mathrm dV$
$=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}\int_{z=2}^{z=3-r^2}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle2\pi\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r(3-r^2-2)\,\mathrm dr$
$=\dfrac\pi2$

Then the integral over the paraboloid would be the difference of the integral over the total surface and the integral over the disk. Denoting the disk by $D$ , we have

$\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS$

Parameterize $D$ by

$\mathbf s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf j+2\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v=u\,\mathbf k$

which would give a unit normal vector of $\mathbf k$ . However, the divergence theorem requires that the closed surface $S$ be oriented with outward-pointing normal vectors, which means we should instead use $\mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u=-u\,\mathbf k$ .

Now,

$\displaystyle\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(-u\,\mathbf k)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$
$=\displaystyle-4\pi\int_{u=0}^{u=1}u\,\mathrm du$
$=-2\pi$

So, the flux over the paraboloid alone is

$\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-(-2\pi)=\dfrac{5\pi}2$

Charlotte is solving the following equation for X (x+3)^2-10=2 her first steps are given below (x+3)^2=12 x+3= + square root 12

Katarina [22]

The values of the x in the given equation are x = 6.46 and x = -0.46

<h3>Solving an equation </h3>

From the question, we are to solve the equation for x

The given equation is

(x+3)² -10 = 2

First, add 10 to both sides of the equation

(x+3)² -10 +10 = 2 +10

(x+3)² = 12

Now, take the square root of both sides to get

x + 3 = ±√12

∴ x = 3 ± √12

x = 3+√12 OR 3-√12

x = 3 + 3.46 OR 3 - 3.46

x = 6.46 OR -0.46

Hence, the values of the x in the given equation are x = 6.46 and x = -0.46

Answer:

$35\ ways$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u><em>Combinations</em></u> are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter.

To calculate combinations, we will use the formula

$C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

where

n represents the total number of items

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

In this problem

$n=7\\r=3$

substitute

$C(7,3)=\frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}\\\\C(7,3)=\frac{7!}{3!(4)!}$

simplify

$C(7,3)=\frac{(7)(6)(5)4!}{3!(4)!}$

$C(7,3)=\frac{(7)(6)(5)}{3!}$

$C(7,3)=\frac{(7)(6)(5)}{(3)(2)(1)}$

$C(7,3)=35\ ways$

Use Euler's method to obtain a four-decimal approximation of the indicated value. First use h = 0.1 and then use h = 0.05.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

see below for the tables

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential equation is separable, so the solution is ...

$\displaystyle\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2xy\\\\\int{\dfrac{dy}{y}}=\int{2x}\,dx\\\\\ln{y}=x^2+C\\\\\text{Considering the initial condition, $C=-1$}\\\\\boxed{y=e^{x^2-1}}$

The values for yn are y+y'·h = y+2xyh. We take the "absolute error" to be the (signed) difference between the calculated yn and the actual value y(x).
