In the equation sqrt n+5 - sqrt n-10, what is the value of n?
irinina [24]
First, square the entire problem. Then add the n's and subtract 10 from 5. You will then get 2n-5=0. Add 5 to both sides, then divide by two to get the answer. (2n=5, n=2.5)

Find the x-coordinate of the point on the graph of y=x^2 where the tangent line is parallel to the secant line that cuts the cur
jek_recluse [69]
First find the secant line. The slope of the secant line through (-1,1) (when x=-1) and (2,4) (when x=2) is the average rate of change of y=x^2 over the interval [-1,2]:

\text{slope}_{\text{secant}}=\dfrac{2^2-(-1)^2}{2-(-1)}=\dfrac33=1

The tangent line to y=x^2 will have a slope determined by the derivative:

y=x^2\implies y'=2x

Both the secant and tangent will have the same slope when 2x=1, or when x=\dfrac12.

an open box is to be made from a piece of metal 16 by 30 inches by cutting out squares of equal size from the corners and bendin
blagie [28]
Let the lengths of the bottom of the box be x and y, and let the length of the squares being cu be z, then
V = xyz . . . (1)
2z + x = 16 => x = 16 - 2z . . . (2)
2z + y = 30 => y = 30 - 2z . . . (3)

Putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives:
V = (16 - 2z)(30 - 2z)z = z(480 - 32z - 60z + 4z^2) = z(480 - 92z + 4z^2) = 480z - 92z^2 + 4z^3
For maximum volume, dV/dz = 0
dV/dz = 480 - 184z + 12z^2 = 0
3z^2 - 46z + 120 = 0
z = 3 1/3 inches

Therefore, for maximum volume, a square of length 3 1/3 (3.33) inches should be cut out from each corner of the cardboard.
The maximum volume is 725 25/27 (725.9) cubic inches.

Shelby is starting a business selling handmade necklaces. She has decided to invest an initial amount of $172 for advertising, a
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

-43 necklaces.

-total expenses=Sales=$473

Step-by-step explanation:

The breakeven point is the point where the sales revenue equals the expenditure.

-The fixed expenses is $172

-Let x be the number of necklaces sold, the breakeven point is expressed as:

Sales= Expenses\\\\11x=7x+172\\\\4x=172\\\\x=43

Hence, Shelby has to sell 43 necklaces to breakeven.

#The expenses at the breakeven point is:

E=7x+172\\\\=7\times43+172\\\\=473

Hence, expenses at breakevent point is $473

#Sales is equal to expenses at this point, hence, sales of $473

if a bag contains 400 coins,and 33 1 over 2 are nickels, how many nickels are there what percent of the coins are not nickels
iren2701 [21]
Assuming the number is 331/2, or 331 over 2: 
331/2 = 165.5 ÷ 400 = .4138 x 100% = 41.38%
100% - 41.38% = 58.62% not nickels

If the number is 33 1/2, or 33 and one half
33 1/2 = 67.5 ÷ 400 = 0.0838 x 100% = 8.38%
100% - 8.38% = 91.62% not nickels
