There are 140 legs on a planet zids have 5 legs and zods have 7 legs h=how many soulutions are there

Number of zids=x
number of zods=y
number of zid legs=5x
number of zod legs=7y

so
5x+7y=140
try to get it into slope intercept from so you can graph is (y=mx+b)
5x+7y=140
subtract 5x from both sides
7y=140-5x
divide both sides by 7
y=20-5/7x
y=-5/7x+20

plug in numbers for x and get numbers for y (you can only plug in multiples of 7 for x so that there are a whole number of zids and since you are counting, x and y must never be negative)

lets try 0 for x

y=-5/7(0)+20
y=20
 so x=0 and y=20 is an answer (if you can have only one of that species)


lets try 7 for x
y=-5/7(7)+20
y=-5+20
y=15

so x=7 and y=15 is an answer


lets try 14 for x

y=-5/7(14)+20
y=-10+20
y=10

so x=14 and y=10 is another answer


lets try 21 for x
y=-5/7(21)+20
y=-15+20
y=5

so x=21 and y=5 is another answer


lets try 28 for x
y=-5/7(28)-20
y=-20+20
y=0

so x=28 and y=0 is an answer (if there can be only one of a species)


if we go further, then y will be negative so the answers are

(x,y)
(0,20)
(7,15)
(14,10)
(21,5)
(28,0)

if it is allowed that only one species exists then there are 5 possible answers
if both must exist simultaneously, then there are only 3 answers

Im confused..I feel as if what I’m learning in class itself is not as difficult as the problems my teacher gives us to take home

Ok, so remember that the derivitive of the position function is the velocty function and the derivitive of the velocity function is the accceleration function

x(t) is the positon function
so just take the derivitive of 3t/π +cos(t) twice
first derivitive is 3/π-sin(t)
2nd derivitive is -cos(t)
a(t)=-cos(t)

on the interval [π/2,5π/2) where does -cos(t)=1? or where does cos(t)=-1?
at t=π
so now plug that in for t in the position function to find the position at time t=π
x(π)=3(π)/π+cos(π)
x(π)=3-1
x(π)=2
so the position is 2







ok, that graph is the first derivitive of f(x)
the function f(x) is increaseing when the slope is positive
it is concave up when the 2nd derivitive of f(x) is positive

we are given f'(x), the derivitive of f(x)
we want to find where it is increasing AND where it is concave down

it is increasing when the derivitive is positive, so just find where the graph is positive (that's about from -2 to 4)

it is concave down when the second derivitive (aka derivitive of the first derivitive aka slope of the first derivitive) is negative
where is the slope negative?
from about x=0 to x=2
and that's in our range of being increasing
so the interval is (0,2)

Omg someone pleaseeee help me!!! 30 points!!!
Crank

add the volume of a cone, V=1/3 pi times radius squared times h. The volume of the cone is V=355. Then you add the volume of the cone to the volume of the cylinder. the formula for the volume of a cylinder is V= pi times radius squared times h. So the volume of the cylinder will be V=923. if you add those two together the overall volume is 1,278.

- 3(3s - 4) - 12 = - 3/6s + 1) - 4
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

s=-7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

-9s+12-12=-18s-3-4

-9s=-18s-7

9s=-7

s=-7/9

How many revolutions will a car wheel of diameter 26 in. make as the car travels a distance of one mile? (round your answer to t
Lostsunrise [7]
Circumference of the wheel = pi*d = 26pi ins =  13pi / 6   feet
there are 8280 feet in 1 mile 

The number of revolutions  in travelling 1 mile  = 5280 * 6
                                                                               ----------- =  776  revs
                                                                                    13 pi
