Answer: The better buy is the one where banana is sold for $0.80 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

At one farmer's market, bananas in the market cost $0.80 per pound while at another farmer's market, the bananas are sold in 5-pound bags for $4.50 per bag. In this market , a pound of banana will be sold for $4.50 divided by 5 which will be $0.9.

The firs market has banana sold as

at $0.80 per pound while in the second market, bananas are sold for $0.90 per bag since 5 pounds are sold for $4.50.

The better buy is the one where banana is sold for $0.80 per pound.

Divide the second amount by five to find out how much it costs at the second farmers market to get 1 pound of bananas.
5/5=1
4.50/5=.9
.9>.8 so the first farmers market had a better deal.

Sedaia [141]

It looks like you're given

<em>F'(x)</em> = 3<em>x</em>² + 7

and

<em>F</em> (0) = 5

and you're asked to find <em>F(b)</em> for the values of <em>b</em> in the list {0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2.0}.

The first is done for you, <em>F</em> (0) = 5.

For the remaining <em>b</em>, you can solve for <em>F(x)</em> exactly by using the fundamental theorem of calculus:

F(x)=F(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^x F'(t)\,\mathrm dt

F(x)=5+\displaystyle\int_0^x(3t^2+7)\,\mathrm dt

F(x)=5+(t^3+7t)\bigg|_0^x

F(x)=5+x^3+7x

Then <em>F</em> (0.1) = 5.701, <em>F</em> (0.2) = 6.408, <em>F</em> (0.5) = 8.625, and <em>F</em> (2.0) = 27.

On the other hand, if you're expected to <em>approximate</em> <em>F</em> at the given <em>b</em>, you can use the linear approximation to <em>F(x)</em> around <em>x</em> = 0, which is

<em>F(x)</em> ≈ <em>L(x)</em> = <em>F</em> (0) + <em>F'</em> (0) (<em>x</em> - 0) = 5 + 7<em>x</em>

Then <em>F</em> (0) = 5, <em>F</em> (0.1) ≈ 5.7, <em>F</em> (0.2) ≈ 6.4, <em>F</em> (0.5) ≈ 8.5, and <em>F</em> (2.0) ≈ 19. Notice how the error gets larger the further away <em>b </em>gets from 0.

A <em>better</em> numerical method would be Euler's method. Given <em>F'(x)</em>, we iteratively use the linear approximation at successive points to get closer approximations to the actual values of <em>F(x)</em>.

Let <em>y(x)</em> = <em>F(x)</em>. Starting with <em>x</em>₀ = 0 and <em>y</em>₀ = <em>F(x</em>₀<em>)</em> = 5, we have

<em>x</em>₁ = <em>x</em>₀ + 0.1 = 0.1

<em>y</em>₁ = <em>y</em>₀ + <em>F'(x</em>₀<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₁ - <em>x</em>₀) = 5 + 7 (0.1 - 0)   →   <em>F</em> (0.1) ≈ 5.7

<em>x</em>₂ = <em>x</em>₁ + 0.1 = 0.2

<em>y</em>₂ = <em>y</em>₁ + <em>F'(x</em>₁<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₂ - <em>x</em>₁) = 5.7 + 7.03 (0.2 - 0.1)   →   <em>F</em> (0.2) ≈ 6.403

<em>x</em>₃ = <em>x</em>₂ + 0.3 = 0.5

<em>y</em>₃ = <em>y</em>₂ + <em>F'(x</em>₂<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₃ - <em>x</em>₂) = 6.403 + 7.12 (0.5 - 0.2)   →   <em>F</em> (0.5) ≈ 8.539

<em>x</em>₄ = <em>x</em>₃ + 1.5 = 2.0

<em>y</em>₄ = <em>y</em>₃ + <em>F'(x</em>₃<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₄ - <em>x</em>₃) = 8.539 + 7.75 (2.0 - 0.5)   →   <em>F</em> (2.0) ≈ 20.164

Solve for y in terms of x
Alika [10]

Answer:

(a) 3 - 2x - 2x²  (b) -21

Step-by-step explanation:

given, y +2x² = 3 -2x

make y the subject:

y = 3 - 2x - 2x²

if y = f(x)

then

f(x) = 3 - 2x - 2x²

(b)<u> to find f(3) we need to replace x with 3:</u>

<u />

3 - 2(3) - 2*(3)²

-21

Given f(x) = 2^x and g(x)=x+1, (fog)(x)=​
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

(f ○ g)(x) = 2^{x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

(f ○ g)(x)

= f(g(x))

= f(x + 1)

= 2^{x+1}

✽ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✽

➷ T\boxed{4} B\boxed{24}

✽ Ok, so B is the number of boys and T is the number of teachers.

➷ t \div ( B + 18) = \frac{2}{21}

\frac{B}{18} = \frac{4}{3}

✽ Then solve the second equation for B.

➷ B = 24

✽ Plug into the first equation to find T.

➷ T \div (24 + 18) = \frac{2}{21}

T = 4
