Answer:

Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Thirty dollars is to be divided among three girls and two boys so that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys.

To Find: How much does each receive?

Solution :

Let each boy gets $x

Since we are given that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys

So, each girl receive amount = 2x

Since there are 3 girls .

So, 3 girls received the amount = 3*(2x)=6x

Now each boy gets x amount

So, 2 boys get amount = 2*x =2x

Since thirty dollars are divided among them .

So, $6x+2x=30$

$8x=30$

$x=\frac{30}{8}$

$x=3.75$

Thus each boy gets $3.75

Each girl receive amount = 2x = 2*3.75= $7.5

Hence Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive $7.5

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve x =5+lnt, y=t2+5 at the point (5,6) by both eliminating the parameter and without e

svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

$y = 2x -4$

EXPLANATION

Part a)

Eliminating the parameter:

The parametric equation is

$x = 5 + ln(t)$

$y = {t}^{2} + 5$

From the first equation we make t the subject to get;

$x - 5 = ln(t)$

$t = {e}^{x - 5}$

We put it into the second equation.

$y = { ({e}^{x - 5}) }^{2} + 5$

$y = { ({e}^{2(x - 5)}) } + 5$

We differentiate to get;

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(x - 5)}$

At x=5,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(5 - 5)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{0} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5)$

$y = 2x - 10 + 6$

$y = 2x -4$

Without eliminating the parameter,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ 2t}{ \frac{1}{t} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {t}^{2}$

At x=5,

$5 = 5 + ln(t)$

$ln(t) = 0$

$t = {e}^{0} = 1$

This implies that,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {(1)}^{2} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5) =$

$y = 2x -4$

What is the lateral area of a right cylinder if the radius of the base is 12 mm and the altitude of the cylinder is 5 times the

lakkis [162]

The lateral area of a cylinder is given by:
Area=πrl+2πr^2
radius,r=12 mm
length,l=5*12=60mm
therefore the lateral area will be:
Area=π*12*60
Area=2,261.95 mm^2
The area of the bases will be:
A=2*π*12^2=904.78 mm^s
The lateral area will be:
2,261.95+904.78
=3,166.73
=3167 mm^2
