Find each percent of change. Round to the nearest whole percent. State whether the percent of change is an increase or a decreas

This is an increase and it increased by 40% because the difference between 140 and 100 is 40 which is 40% of 100.

1/2x + 1/3y = 7

let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

$\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{using elimination}}{ \begin{array}{llll} 3x+2y=42&\times -1\implies &\begin{matrix} -3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-2y=&-42\\ 3x+8y-72 &&~~\begin{matrix} 3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+8y=&72\\ \cline{3-4}\\ &&~\hfill 6y=&30 \end{array}} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{30}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright y=5 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

It takes 3 hours to cook an 8-pound turkey. How long would it take to cook a turkey that is 14 pounds? Round to the nearest tent

pochemuha

Answer:

5.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 hours = 8lbs. turkey

?? hours = 14lbs. turkey

Do proportions:

$\frac{3}{8}$ = $\frac{x}{14}$ <-- Cross Multiply

42 = 8x <-- Solve for x

x = 5.25

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 5.3 hours

The maximum value of 12 sin 0-9 sin²0 is: -

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not clear. You have indicated the original function as 12sin(0) - 9sin²(0)

If so, the solution is trivial. At 0, sin(0) is 0 so the solution is 0

However, I will assume you meant the angle to be $\theta$ rather than 0 which makes sense and proceed accordingly

We can find the maximum or minimum of any function by finding the first derivate and setting it equal to 0

The original function is

$f(\theta) = 12sin(\theta) - 9 sin^2(\theta)$

Taking the first derivative of this with respect to $\theta$ and setting it equal to 0 lets us solve for the maximum (or minimum) value

The first derivative of $f(\theta)$ w.r.t $\theta$ is

$12\cos\left(\theta\right)-18\cos\left(\theta\right)\sin\left(\theta\right)$

And setting this = 0 gives

$12\cos\left(\theta\right)-18\cos\left(\theta\right)\sin\left(\theta\right) = 0$

Eliminating $cos(\theta)$ on both sides and solving for $sin(\theta)$ gives us

$sin(\theta) = \frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3}$

Plugging this value of $sin(\theta)$ into the original equation gives us

$12(\frac{2}{3}) - 9(\frac{4}{9} ) = 8 - 4 = 4$

This is the maximum value that the function can acquire. The attached graph shows this as correct
