y = .0775x + 700

y = .0775(4,000) + 700

y = 310 + 700

y = 1,010

danielle earned $1,010 last week if she sold $4,000 in electronics merchandise.

What is the approximate volume of one refraction cup? What’s its formula ?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Volume = 0.1696 L

The formula is Area of base of refraction cup × Depth of the refraction cup

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a refraction cup are;

Diameter = 120 mm

Depth = 30 mm

Therefore, volume of the refraction cup = Area of base × Depth

Volume of the refraction cup = (π×120²/4)/2 × 30 = 169646.003 mm³

1 L = 1000000 mm³

Therefore, 169646.003 mm³ = 169646.003/1000000 m³ = 0.1696 L

The formula is Area of base of refraction cup × Depth of the refraction cup.

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)

ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve $y = \sqrt x$ that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$ can be represented as: $(x,y)$

Substitute $\sqrt x$ for $y$

$(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)$

So, next:

Calculate the distance between $(x,\sqrt x)$ and $(3,0)$

Distance is calculated as:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So:

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}$

Evaluate all exponents

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}$

Rewrite as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }$

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }$

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

$u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5$

So:

$d = \sqrt u$

$d = u^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Chain Rule:

$d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}$

$d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}$

Substitute: $u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}$

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

$\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0$

Cross Multiply

$2x - 5 = 0$

Solve for x

$2x =5$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5}{2}$ in $y = \sqrt x$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$

Split

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Steve and Marcia bought soda, chips, and gum. • They bought twice as many chips as pieces of gum. • They bought 3 fewer sodas th

serg [7]

Answer:

ok so S=soda C=chips and G=gum

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information,

s+3=c

(1/2)c=g

from this P=s+c+g

P=s+(s+3)+((s+3)/2)

P=5/2s+9/2

(q^4)^z= q^12 find the value of z

juin [17]

Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the method

(x^a)^b = x^(a*b)

so

(q^4)^z = q^(4*z)

now

4*z = 12

z = 12 / 4

so

z = 3
