Answer:

D(-6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = 26

2x - 7y = 16

-5x/-5 = 26-y/-5

x = -26/5 + y/5

2(-26/5 + y/5) = 7y = 16

-52/5 + 2y/5 = 16 + 52/5

-33y/5 = 80/5 + 52/5

-33y/5 = 132/5

-33y = 132

y = -4

2x - 7(-4) = 16

2x + 28 = 16

2x = -12

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

11q + 5 ≤ 49

Subtract 5 from each side

11q + 5-5 ≤ 49-5

11q ≤44

Divide each side by 11

q ≤44/11

q≤4

liq [111]

2x + 8y = 17
10x + 3y = 11

We need to solve the system of equations.

x = pencils
y = notebooks

If we solve by graphing, we get the answer:

One pencil costs 0.50 dollars
One notebook costs 2.00 dollars

15. The equation below defines z as a differentiable function of x and y. Find the value of dz/dy at the point (1, 1, 1).

MariettaO [177]

Isolate the term with $z^2$ .

$x^2 - 5y^2 + xyz^2 = y - 4 \implies xyz^2 = -x^2 + 5y^2 + y - 4$

Differentiate both sides with respect to $y$ .

$\dfrac{\partial(xyz^2)}{\partial y} = \dfrac{\partial(-x^2 + 5y^2 + y - 4)}{\partial y}$

By the product and chain rules,

$xz^2 + 2xyz \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} = 10y + 1$

Solve for the partial derivative, then evaluate at $(x,y,z) = (1,1,1)$ .

$\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} = \dfrac{10y + 1 - xz^2}{2xyz}$

$\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} \bigg|_{x=1,y=1,z=1} = \dfrac{10 + 1 - 1}{2} = \boxed{5}$
