Suppose xy=4 and dy/dt=-2. Find dx/dt when x=-3
nirvana33 [79]
Dy/dx = dy/dt  *   dt/dx

xy = 4

y + x(dy/dx) = 0      by implicit differentiation. 

x(dy/dx) = -y

dy/dx = -y/x

<span>dy/dx = dy/dt  *   dt/dx             dy/dt = -2
</span>
<span>-y/x = -2 *   dt/dx
</span>
y/(2x) = dt/dx

dt/dx =  y/(2x)

dx/dt = 2x/y
  
When x = -3,   xy = 4,  y = 4/x = 4/-3 = -4/3

dx/dt = 2*-3/(-4/3) = -6 *-3/4 = 18/4 = 9/2 = 4.5

dx/dt = 4.5

A quantity, y, varies directly as x When y=10, x=6.<br> Find xwhen y= 14.
grigory [225]

The value of x when y = 14 is 8.4

<h3 />

<h3>How to solve variation ?</h3>

y, varies directly as x. Therefore,

y ∝ x

Therefore,

y = kx

where

  • k =constant of proportionality

Therefore,

10 = 6k

k = 10 / 6

k = 5 / 3

Hence, when y = 14

y = kx

14 = 5 / 3 x

cross multiply

42 = 5x

x = 42 / 5

x = 8.4

The ratio of the bake time for a pepperoni pizza (P) and a cheese pizza (C) is modeled by the equation: P = 3C - 2. A.) If a sma
Elena L [17]

Answer:

34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of time for which Pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza should be baked is given as:

P = 3C - 2

Where P is the time for which pepperoni pizza should be baked and

C is the time for which Cheese pizza should be baked.

Also, it is given that a small Cheese pizza should be baked for 12 minutes.

In other words, we are given that: C=12\ min

To find:

For how long small pepperoni pizza should be baked ?

In other words,

P=?

Solution:

Let us put the value of C in the equation of the model.

P = 3C - 2

\Rightarrow P = 3\times 12 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = 36 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = \bold{34\ min}

Therefore, a small pepperoni pizza should be baked for <em>34 minutes</em>.

Given that the diameter of Circle A is 6 cm , and the radius of Circle B is 18 cm , what can be concluded about the two circles?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The radius of circle B is 6 times greater than the radius of circle A

The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

<em>Circle A</em>

D=6\ cm

The radius of circle A is

r=6/2=3\ cm -----> the radius is half the diameter

<em>Circle B</em>

r=18\ cm

Compare the radius of both circles

3\ cm< 18\ cm

18=6(3)

The radius of circle B is six times greater than the radius of circle A

Remember that , if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

All circles are similar

In this problem the scale factor is 6

so

6^{2}=36

therefore

The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A
