Answer:

number of Roses = 60

number of carnations = 80

number of Lilies = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Roses = $3.00

carnations = $1.00

Lilies = $2.00

Total order = 215

Let

x = number of Roses

y = number of carnations

z = number of Lilies

There are 15 more lilies than roses.

z = x + 15

The total of the order came to $410.00.

x + y + z = 215

3x + y + 2z = 410

substitute z = x + 15

x + y + x + 15 = 215

3x + y + 2(x+15) = 410

2x + y + 15= 215

3x + y + 2x + 30 = 410

2x + y = 215 - 15

5x + y = 410 - 30

2x + y = 200 (1)

5x + y = 380 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

5x - 2x = 380 - 200

3x = 180

Divide both sides by 3

x = 180/3

= 60

x = 60

Recall

z = x + 15

z = 60 + 15

= 75

z = 75

Substitute the value of x into (1)

2x + y = 200

2(60) + y = 200

120 + y = 200

y = 200 - 120

= 80

y = 80

Therefore,

x = number of Roses = 60

y = number of carnations = 80

z = number of Lilies = 75

Show that 3 · 4^n + 51 is divisible by 3 and 9 for all positive integers n.

Leni [432]

Answer:

To prove that 3·4ⁿ + 51 is divisible by 3 and 9, we have;

3·4ⁿ is divisible by 3 and 51 is divisible by 3

Where we have;

$S_{(n)}$ = 3·4ⁿ + 51

$S_{(n+1)}$ = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ + 51

$S_{(n+1)}$ - $S_{(n)}$ = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ + 51 - (3·4ⁿ + 51) = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ - 3·4ⁿ

$S_{(n+1)}$ - $S_{(n)}$ = 3( 4ⁿ⁺¹ - 4ⁿ) = 3×4ⁿ×(4 - 1) = 9×4ⁿ

∴ $S_{(n+1)}$ - $S_{(n)}$ is divisible by 9

Given that we have for S₀ = 3×4⁰ + 51 = 63 = 9×7

∴ S₀ is divisible by 9

Since $S_{(n+1)}$ - $S_{(n)}$ is divisible by 9, we have;

$S_{(0+1)}$ - $S_{(0)}$ = $S_{(1)}$ - $S_{(0)}$ is divisible by 9

Therefore $S_{(1)}$ is divisible by 9 and $S_{(n)}$ is divisible by 9 for all positive integers n

In the previous part, we obtained dy dx = 3t2 − 27 −2t . Next, find the points where the tangent to the curve is horizontal. (En

mina [271]

Answer:

(27.55, 7.22), (-11.3, 3.21).

Step-by-step explanation:

When is the tangent to the curve horizontal?

The tangent curve is horizontal when the derivative is zero.

The derivative is:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3t^{2} - 2t - 27$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$3t^{2} - 2t - 27 = 0$

So

$a = 3, b = -2, c = -27$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-2)^{2} - 4*3*(-27) = 328$

So

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-2) + \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = 3.35$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-2) - \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = -2.685$

Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.

We found values of t, now we have to replace in the equations for x and y.

t = 3.35

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (3.35)^{3} - 3*3.35 = 27.55$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (3.35)^2 - 4 = 7.22$

The first point is (27.55, 7.22)

t = -2.685

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (-2.685)^3 - 3*(-2.685) = -11.3$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (-2.685)^2 - 4 = 3.21$

The second point is (-11.3, 3.21).
