A = the number of apples Anna picked on Monday
a +15 = the number of apples Anna picked on Tuesday.
since we know that she picked a total of 32 apples on Tuesday, we can rewrite the equation as: a+15=32
we subtract 15 from both sides to get 17.
17 = the number of apple Anna picked on Monday

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

t=7,t=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2t^2-14t+3=3

Subtract 3 from both sides

2t^2 - 14t +3 - 3 = 3-3

Write the expression 44(4–7)(4) using a single exponent.

Ghella [55]

<h3>The given expression as single exponent is:</h3>

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4$

In exponents,

When the base is same, exponents can be added

Which means,

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Therefore,

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{4-7+1}\\\\Simplify\\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-3+1} \\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

Thus the given expression as single exponent is:

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

What is 3/4 multiplied by 9 as a mixed number??

mixer [17]

Answer:

6 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 * 9 = 27/4

How many times does 4 go into 27

It goes in 6 times (4*6 = 24) with 3 left over

The left over part goes over the denominator

Find a and b so that f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b will have a critical point at (2,3).

Digiron [165]

Using the critical point concept, it is found that a = -3 and b = 7.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

In this problem, the function is:

$f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b$

Hence, the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax$

Then:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

$3x^2 + 2ax = 0$

$x(3x + 2a) = 0$

$x = 0$

$3x + 2a = 0$

$3x = -2a$

$x = -\frac{2a}{3}$

Since the critical point is at x = 2, we have that:

$-\frac{2a}{3} = 2$

$-2a = 6$

$2a = -6$

$a = -3$

Then:

$f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + b$

Critical point at (2,3) means that when $x = 2, y = 3$ , then:

$3 = 2^3 - 3(2)^2 + b$

$8 - 12 + b = 3$

$b = 7$
