To solve this, we must set up a Systems of Equations problem 
Let's say C stands for Coach seats bought and S stands for sleeper cars bought
Here are our equations we have enough information to make. 
c + s = 93 
115c + 290s = $20,320 
Lets solve for Coach seats first 
To do that we need a value for s 
In the first equation, s = 93 - c
Lets plug that in for S in the second equation 
115c + 290(93 - c) = $20,320 
Distribute and simplify 
115c + 26,970 - 290c = $20,320 
Combine like terms 
-175c + 26,970 = $20,320 
-175c = -6650
divide 
c = \frac{-6650}{-175}
c = 38
We just found out 38 coach seats were bought. 
Plug in 38 for C in this equation ⇒ 115c + 290s = $20,320 to find S
115(38) + 290s = $20,320 
Distribute and Simplify 
4,370 + 290s = $20,320 
290s = $15,950 
Divide 
S = \frac{15950}{290}
S = 55
We just completed the problem!
38 Coach seats were bought and 
55 Sleeper car seats were bought.

F(x) = lnx/x
My name is Ann [436]
f(x) = \frac{lnx}{x}

(a) f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]
Using the quotient rule:
f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - lnx}{x^{2}}
f'(x) = \frac{1 - lnx}{x^{2}}

For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
\frac{1 - lnx}{x} = 0
lnx = 1, x = e

(b) <em>Deduce:
</em>e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0
<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
\frac{ln(e)}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}
\frac{1}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}, since ln(e) is simply equal to 1

Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
\frac{x}{e} \geq lnx
x \geq elnx
x \geq ln(x^{e})

Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
e^{x} \geq e^{ln(x^{e}})
e^{x} \geq x^{e}, as required.

What is 4.338 as a fraction when the 338 is repeating<br>i give brianliest
Inga [223]

If <em>x</em> = 4.338338338…, then

1000<em>x</em> = 4338.338338338…

and subtracting <em>x</em> from this eliminate the trailing decimal.

1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 4338.338338338… - 4.338338338…

999<em>x</em> = 4334

<em>x</em> = 4334/999

If the dimensions of a rectangle are A plus 3b and A minus 3b what is the area of the rectangle
tresset_1 [31]

area=legnth times width

we notice this is a special case

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

area=(a+3b)(a-3b)=a^2-9b^2

area=a^2-9b^2
