We are given with the expression xy = 4. The first derivative of the x is dx/dt while that of y is dy/dt. in this case using the multiplication rule of differentiation and that of constants, x dy/dt + y dx/dt = 0.  when  x= -3, y should be -4/3. Hence when dy/dt = -2, -3(-2) -4/3 *dx/dt = 0. dx/dt is equal to 9/2.

Dy/dx = dy/dt  *   dt/dx

xy = 4

y + x(dy/dx) = 0      by implicit differentiation. 

x(dy/dx) = -y

dy/dx = -y/x

<span>dy/dx = dy/dt  *   dt/dx             dy/dt = -2
</span>
<span>-y/x = -2 *   dt/dx
</span>
y/(2x) = dt/dx

dt/dx =  y/(2x)

dx/dt = 2x/y
  
When x = -3,   xy = 4,  y = 4/x = 4/-3 = -4/3

dx/dt = 2*-3/(-4/3) = -6 *-3/4 = 18/4 = 9/2 = 4.5

dx/dt = 4.5

Jake and Lacy work at a golf driving range. At the end of the day, Jake collected 408 golf balls and Lacy collected 374 golf bal
Reptile [31]

they will fill 23 baskets. we get this by adding the number of golf balls each of them get to get the total number of golf balls. then, we divide the total number of golf balls by 34 because that's how many they will be able to put into each basket. it will look a little like this: 408+374=782

782/34=23 baskets

A person traveling from Seattle to Sydney has three airlines to choose from. 40% of travelers choose airline A, and this airline
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 40% probability that a traveler chooses airline A.

A 35% probability that a traveled chooses airline B.

A 25% probability that a traveler chooses airline C.

If a passenger chooses airline A, a 10% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline B, a 15% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline C, a 8% probability that he arrives late.

If a randomly selected traveler is on a flight from Seattle which arrives late to Sydney, what is the probability that they flew with airline B?

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

So

What is the probability that the traveler flew with airline B, given that he was late?

P(B) is the probability that he flew with airline B.

So P(B) = 0.35

P(A/B) is the probability of being late when traveling with airline B. So P(A/B) = 0.15.

P(A) is the probability of being late. This is the sum of 10% of 40%(airline A), 15% of 35%(airline B) and 8% of 25%(airline C).

So

P(A) = 0.1*0.4 + 0.15*0.35 + 0.08*0.25 = 0.1125

Probability

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.35*0.15}{0.1125} = 0.4667

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.
