So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one?  well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}

An online furniture store sells chairs for $50 each and tables for $550 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 32 piec
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

you have to sell 6 tables to meet all requirements

Step-by-step explanation:

chairs=$50x

tables=$550x

24 chairs×50= $1200

4100-1200= $2900

take $2900 and divide by $550 to find the exact number of tables which is 5 but selling 5 tables and 24 chairs doesnt reach the $4100 mark so I rounded up to 6 tables which doesnt surpass the maximum number of furniture(32) but beats the $4100 mark

Differentiate the function. f(x) = sin(9 ln(x))
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: f'(x)=\dfrac{9\cos(9\ln (x))}{x}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=\sin(9\ln (x))

Using chain rule differentiate w.r.t. x.

f'(x)=\cos(9\ln (x))\dfrac{d}{dx}(9\ln (x))      \left[\because \dfrac{d}{dx}\sin x=\cos x\right]

f'(x)=\cos(9\ln (x))\left[9\dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln (x))\right]

f'(x)=\cos(9\ln (x))\left[9\times \dfrac{1}{x}\right]       \left[\because \dfrac{d}{dx}\ln x=\dfrac{1}{x}\right]

f'(x)=\dfrac{9\cos(9\ln (x))}{x}

Therefore, f'(x)=\dfrac{9\cos(9\ln (x))}{x}.
