17.50 * 54.2 / 100 = 948.5 / 100 = 9.485 $ (the discount)

17.5 - 9.485 = 8.015 $ ( the final selling price)

Answer:

-2x+3y =1.......(1)

y=3x-9........(2)

Now,

putting the value of y in equation (1),

-2x+3(3x-9)=1

or,-2x+9x-27=1

or,7x-27=1

or,7x=28

x= 4

Now putting the value of X in equation (2),

y=3×4-9

= 12-9

=3

(x,y)=(4,3)

A scale on a map shows that 2 inches equals 25 miles how many inches on the map represents 60 miles?? I NEED HELP ASAP

irakobra [83]

Answer:

60 miles is equal to 4.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to this question, we need divide 60 by 25 to find out how much to multiply 2 by so its equal.

60/25=2.4

2*2.4=4.8

60 miles is equal to 4.8 inches.

Hope this helps!

Marine biologists have determined that when a shark detectsthe presence of blood in the water, it will swim in the directionin w

siniylev [52]

Solution :

a). The level curves of the function :

$C(x,y) = e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

are actually the curves

$e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}=k$

where k is a positive constant.

The equation is equivalent to

$x^2+2y^2=K$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{(\sqrt K)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(\sqrt {K/2})^2}=1, \text{ where}\ K = -10^4 \ln k$

which is a family of ellipses.

We sketch the level curves for K =1,2,3 and 4.

If the shark always swim in the direction of maximum increase of blood concentration, its direction at any point would coincide with the gradient vector.

Then we know the shark's path is perpendicular to the level curves it intersects.

b). We have :

$\triangledown C= \frac{\partial C}{\partial x}i+\frac{\partial C}{\partial y}j$

$\Rightarrow \triangledown C =-\frac{2}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}(xi+2yj),$ and

$\triangledown C$ points in the direction of most rapid increase in concentration, which means $\triangledown C$ is tangent to the most rapid increase curve.

$r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j$ is a parametrization of the most $\text{rapid increase curve}$ , then

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}i+\frac{dy}{dt}j$ is a tangent to the curve.

So then we have that $\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda \triangledown C$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{2\lambda x}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}, \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{4\lambda y}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2y}{x}$

Using separation of variables,

$\frac{dy}{y}=2\frac{dx}{x}$

$\int\frac{dy}{y}=2\int \frac{dx}{x}$

$\ln y=2 \ln x$

⇒ y = kx^2 for some constant k

but we know that $y(x_0)=y_0$

$\Rightarrow kx_0^2=y_0$

$\Rightarrow k =\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}$

∴ The path of the shark will follow is along the parabola

$y=\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}x^2$

$y=y_0\left(\frac{x}{x_0}\right)^2$
