Two buckets of seawater contain $13\frac{28}{40}$ kg of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of salt in 1 kg water = $\frac{1}{40}\ kg$

It is given that;

1 liter = $1\frac{12}{125} = \frac{137}{125}\ kg$

500 liters = $500*\frac{137}{125} = \frac{68500}{125}$

500 liters = 548 kilogram

As,

1 kg of seawater = $\frac{1}{40}\ kg$ of salt

548 kilograms = $\frac{1}{40}*548$

548 kilograms = $13\frac{28}{40}$ kilograms of salt

Two buckets of seawater contain $13\frac{28}{40}$ kg of salt.

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 1 + x at a = 0. g(x) ≈ Correct: Your answer is correct. Use it to approxi

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$3.296x+3$

2.835

3.330

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = 3^{1+x}$

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

$L(x) = g(a) + g'(a)(x-a)$

$g'(x)$ is the derivative of $g(x)$ . To find this, we use the form

If $f(x) = a^x$ , then $f'(x) =a^x\ln a$

By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

$g'(x) = 3^{1+x}\ln 3$

Then

$g'(0) = 3^{1+0}\ln 3 = 3.296$

Also $g(0) = 3^{1+0} = 3$

Hence $L(x) = 3+(x-0)\times3.296 = 3.296x + 3$

For $3^{0.95}$ , $1+x = 0.95$ and $x=-0.05$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{0.95} = 3.296(-0.05) + 3 = 2.835$

For $3^{1.1}$ , $1+x = 1.1$ and $x=0.1$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{1.1} = 3.296(0.1) + 3 = 3.330$

The equation c= 0.25n can be used to find the cost (c) of buying n number of apples.

aksik [14]

Answer:

(a) The constant of proportionality is 0.25

(b) 1 apple = $0.25

(c) $3 = 12 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$c= 0.25n$

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality;

For an equation:

$c=kn$

Where

k = constant of proportionality

By comparing: $c=kn$ to $c= 0.25n$

$k = 0.25$

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.25

Solving (b): What information does $k = 0.25$ gives.

It represents the unit rate.

<em>So, it means that 1 apple costs $0.25</em>

<em></em>

Solving (c): Number of apples for $3.

This means that $c = 3$

Substitute 3 for c in $c= 0.25n$

$3 = 0.25n$

Make n the subject

$n = \frac{3}{0.25}$

$n = 12$

Calculate the slope of the points (-2, -1) and (3, 4). Show all of your work.

puteri [66]

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{4 - (-1)}{3 - (-2)} = \frac{4 + 1}{3 + 2} = \frac{5}{5} = 1$

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 4 = 1(x - 3)
y - 4 = 1(x) - 1(3)
y - 4 = x - 3
+ 4 + 4
y = x + 1

spayn [35]

Answer:

He must study for at least 7.5 hours each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of hours that Mr Smith must study each week

From the question, we are told that he must study a minimum of 60 hours total over the course of the 8 weeks

The number of hours he must study each week will be 60/8 = 7.5 minimum number of hours each week
