Find common denominator.
1/8---> 3/24
1/3---> 8/24

8/24 is greater than 3/24

1/3 is greater than 1/8

For what values of x is f(x) = |x + 1| differentiable? I'm struggling my butt off for this course

pav-90 [236]

By definition of absolute value, you have

$f(x) = |x+1| = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x+1\ge0 \\ -(x+1)&\text{if }x+1$

or more simply,

$f(x) = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x\ge-1\\-x-1&\text{if }x$

On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.

For x > -1, we have

(x + 1)' = 1

while for x < -1,

(-x - 1)' = -1

More concisely,

$f'(x) = \begin{cases}1&\text{if }x>-1\\-1&\text{if }x$

Note the strict inequalities in the definition of f '(x).

In order for f(x) to be differentiable at x = -1, the derivative f '(x) must be continuous at x = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of x = -1 for the derivative do not match:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(-1) = -1$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^+}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}1 = 1$

All this to say that f(x) is differentiable everywhere on its domain, except at the point x = -1.

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

Now, According to question

mark up percentage = $\dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

I.e 40% = $\dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{40}{100}$ + 1 = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{140}{100}$ = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, s. p = $\dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}$

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = $\dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}$

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = $\dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}$

I.e The profit rate% = $\dfrac{21.29}{4.05}$

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41 Answer

6x+3<7-2x I’m not sure if I’m doing it right so an explanation would be nice

enot [183]

Answer:

x<0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is just like simplifiying equations if you've done that before

first you want to isolate the variable, so you want to combine the values of x (in this case it's 6x and the -2x)

so you can either add 2x to both sides or you can subtract 6x on both sides, in this case ill just add 2x to both sides.

Then you subtract 3 from both sides to get 8x<4

after you get that, you want to divide both sides by 8, and you generally want to do that step last, it makes it easier, and you get x<1/2 or 0.5

just a reminder that with working with inequalities, you want to remember to flip the direction the inequality is whenever you divide by a negative number

A linear function has a slope of Negative StartFraction 7 Over 9 EndFraction and a y-intercept of 3. How does this function comp

Ede4ka [16]

The way that this linear function compares to y+11 is that It has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

This is the type of function that would produce a line when it is graphed out.

When we write out the equations in 1 and 2 we would see that they are basically the same type of equation. A linear equation is made up of the slope and the intercept.
