A local florist charges $8 for a red rose and $10 for a white rose. He sold twice as many red roses as white roses for a total i

ncome of $8,554 for the day. How many roses did he sell all together?

You set up the equations first. R= red rose, w= white rose

r=2w
8r+10w=8,554

You substitute r with 2w in the second equation and begin to evaluate. You should get w=329. Since w=329, you substitute this into the first equation, thus r= 2(329) = 658. You add both together to figure out the total amount sold, 658+329=987.

The florist sold 329 white roses, and 658 red roses.

329 + 658 = 987 roses.

The florist sold a total of 987 roses.

How do you determine the area under a curve in calculus using integrals or the limit definition of integrals?

RSB [31]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider

$y = f(x)$

To find the area under the curve $y = f(x)$ between $x = a$ and $x = b$ , all we need is to integrate $y = f(x)$ between the limits of $a$ and $b$ .

For example, the area between the curve y = x² - 4 and the x-axis on an interval [2, -2] can be calculated as:

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx$

= $\int _{-2}^2\left|x^2-4\right|dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum\:Rule}:\quad \int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx$

$=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

solving

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1},\:\quad \:a\ne -1$

$=\left[\frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1}\right]^2_{-2}$

$=\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=\frac{16}{3}$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx=\frac{16}{3}$

similarly solving

$\int _{-2}^24dx$

$\mathrm{Integral\:of\:a\:constant}:\quad \int adx=ax$

$=\left[4x\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=16$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^24dx=16$

Therefore, the expression becomes

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

$=\frac{16}{3}-16$

$=-\frac{32}{3}$

$=-10.67$ square units

Thus, the area under a curve is -10.67 square units

The area is negative because it is below the x-axis. Please check the attached figure.

How do you solve this??

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Millie.

First we can realize that the number of cubes of each type does not matter, only the ratios between them. We see that if there are x yellow cubes, there are 3x blue cubes. And therefore, there are 5*3x green cubes, or 15x green cubes. This means that the cubes are in a 1:3:15 ratio, or that for every 1 yellow cube, there are 3 blue and 15 green cubes.

Now we can find the probability of picking a yellow cube. Since there are 18 non-yellow cubes for every yellow cube, this means that there is a 1/19 possibility of picking a yellow cube.
