Answer:

A. $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the cost of shirt and t be the cost of each tie.

We have been given that in a certain clothing store, 6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

6s+3t=79.50...(1)

We are also told that 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3s+2t=41...(2)

Now, we will use substitution method of solving system of equations. From equation (1) we will get,

s=\frac{79.50-3t}{6}

Substituting this value in equation (2):

3(\frac{79.50-3t}{6})+2t=41

\frac{79.50-3t}{2}+2t=41

\frac{79.50-3t}{2}+\frac{2*2t}{2}=41

\frac{79.50-3t+4t}{2}=41

Now, we will multiply both sides of our equation by 2.

\frac{79.50+t}{2}*2=41*2

79.50+t=82

Subtracting 79.50 from both sides we will get,

79.50-79.50+t=82-79.50

t=2.50

Therefore, the cost of each tie is $2.50 and option A is the correct choice.

Water flows into a tank according to the rate F of t equals the quotient of 6 plus t and the quantity 1 plus t, and at the same
diamong [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Water flows into a tank according to the rate F(t)= (t+6)/(1+t), and at the same time empties out at the rate E(t)= (ln(t+2))/(t+1), with both F(t) and E(t) measured in gallons per minute. How much water, to the nearest galllon, is in the tank at time t=10 minutes.

Let C(t) be the amount of water in the tank at time t. We now that the rate of change of the tank is given by

\frac{dC}{dt}=[\tex]rate at which water flows in- rate at which water flows out. Then [tex]\frac{dC}{dt}=\frac{t+6}{t+1}-\frac{\ln(t+2)}{(t+1)}[\tex]so, the desired expression is obtained by integrating with respect to t. This leads us to [tex]C(t)  = \int \frac{t+1}{t+1}+ \frac{5}{t+1} - \frac{\ln(t+2)}{(t+1)} dt=t+ 5 \ln (|t+1|)-\int \frac{\ln(t+2)}{(t+1)} dt +C

Unfortunately, the integral \int \frac{\ln(t+2)}{(t+1)} dt cannot be expressed using fundamental functions. So, the problem cannot have an specific function (if you are willing to know the complete answer, the integral of this function uses the  polylogarithm function with n=2).

Since you want the exact amount of water at time, you need to give C a value, that is, you need to know an initial condition for the problem. This means, you need to know the amount of water in the tank at time 0
