Jessica has some money already saved to buy a laptop that cost $1300. She calculates she will reach her goal of saving enough mo

ney to buy the laptop in 5 months if she saves $120 a month.
If Jessica was to save $150 a month instead of $120, how many fewer month/s would she be able to save the money for the laptop?

Answer:

one less month

Step-by-step explanation:

120 * 5 =600, she needs 600 to get to her goal

Evaluate the integral Integral from (5 comma 2 comma 4 )to (7 comma 9 comma negative 3 )y dx plus x dy plus 3 dz by finding para

padilas [110]

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_{(5,2,4)}^{(7,9,-3)}y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy+3\,\mathrm dz$

Parameterize the line segment (call it $C$ ) by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+4\,\vec k)+t(7\,\vec\imath+9\,\vec\jmath-3\,\vec k)$

$\vec r(t)=(2t+5)\,\vec\imath+(7t+2)\,\vec\jmath+(4-7t)\,\vec k$

with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$\vec r'(t)=2\,\vec\imath+7\,\vec\jmath-7\,\vec k$

and the line integral is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1((7t+2)\,\vec\imath+(2t+5)\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k)\cdot\vec r'(t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1((2t+5)+2(7t+2)-21)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(28t+18)\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{32}$

Alternatively, if we can show that $\vec F$ is conservative, then we can apply the fundamental theorem of calculus. We need to find $f$ such that $\nabla f=\vec F$ , which requires

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3$

Integrating both sides of the first equation with respect to $x$ gives

$f(x,y,z)=xy+g(y,z)$

Differentiating both sides wrt $y$ gives

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x=x+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}$

$\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)$

Differentiating wrt $z$ gives

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}$

$\implies h(z)=3z+C$

So we have

$f(x,y,z)=xy+3z+C$

and $\vec F$ is conservative. By the FTC, we find

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f(7,9,-3)-f(5,2,4)=\boxed{32}$

Larisa earns $7 per hour.she worked 40 hours at the regular rate, 3 hours at time and half, and 6 hours at double time.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$6.07/hr. if I understand the question properly. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see the question, but will assume we want to find Larisa's base pay. The $7/hr given is the average for the work sequence noted in the problem. If this is incorrect, ignore the answer.

==================================

Let x be Larisa's base salary. We are told, I think, that in one stretch of time Larisa earned an average of $7/hour. That was composed of:

<u>Hours</u> <u>Rate($/hr)</u>

40 x

3 1.5x

<u> 6 </u> 2x

49

Her total income over this period would be:

40x +3(1.5x) + 6(2x) [The hours worked times the pay rate for each period]

Her average income per hour would be:

(40x +3(1.5x) + 6(2x))/49

which we are told is $7/hr.

(40x +3(1.5x) + 6(2x))/49 = 7

40x + 4.5x + 12x = 343

56.5x = 343

x = $6.07/hr

morpeh [17]

Answer:

C. 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that M will occur =1-0.8=0.2=1/5

Probability that R will occur = 1-0.6=0.4=2/5

Probability that either of them will occur= 1/5 + 2/5= 3/5
