4+2x = x (x = student in smaller group)
4 + 2x + x = 28 (total # of students)
4+ 3x = 28
3x = 24
x = 8
8 students in the smaller group
4 + 2(8) = 20 students in the larger group
Answer:
A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations (2 unknowns and two equations, d is for a DVD and b is for a book):
For David: 3d+4b=40
For Anna: d+6b=18
Now multiply the second equation with -3 and add to the first equation:
3d+4b=40
−3d−18b=−54
Combined equation: −14b=−14 and b=1 (means that each book is worth $1).
Now for DVD price, use the second equation:
d=18−6 or d=12 (means that each DVD is worth $12).
A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.
By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).
Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x: dy/dx = -18x - 2. This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve. Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value: -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2. Solving for x, x = -2/18, or x = -1/9.
When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9). This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or
y = -7/9.
The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>
Answer:
The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass)
Step-by-step explanation:
The metric system uses units such as meter, liter, and gram to measure length, liquid volume, and mass, just as the U.S. customary system uses feet, quarts, and ounces to measure these.
In addition to the difference in the basic units, the metric system is based on 10s, and different measures for length include kilometer, meter, decimeter, centimeter, and millimeter. Notice that the word “meter” is part of all of these units.
