Answer: 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

              Ratio      Quantity

Boys:        5           80 + x                  

Girls:         3              x

                 \dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{80+x}{x}\\\\\\5x=3(80+x)\\\\5x=240+3x\\\\2x=240\\\\x=120

The curve given by x=sin(t),y=sin(t+sin(t)) has two tangent lines at the point (x,y)=(0,0). List both of them in order of increa
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y = 0

y =2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parametric equations:

x (t) = sin (t)

y (t) = sin (t + sin (t))

The slope of the curve at any given point is given by dy / dx we will use chain rule to find dy / dx

(dy / dx) * (dx / dt) = (dy / dt)

(dy / dx) = (dy / dt) / (dx / dt)

Evaluate dx / dt and dy / dt

dx / dt = cos (t)

dy / dt = cos (t + sin (t)) * (1+cos (t))

Hence,

dy / dx = (1+cos(t))*cos(t + sin (t))) / cos (t)

@Given point (x,y) = 0 we evaluate t

0 = sin (t)

t = 0 , pi

Input two values of t and compute dy / dx

@ t = 0

dy / dx = (1 + cos (0))*cos (0 + sin (0))) / cos (0)

dy / dx = (1+1)*(1) / (1) = 2 @ t = 0

@t = pi

dy / dx = ( 1 + cos (pi))* cos (pi + sin (pi)) / cos (pi)

dy / dx = (1-1) * (-1) / (-1) = 0 @ t = pi

The corresponding gradients are 0 and 2 in increasing order and their respective equations are:

y = 2x

y = 0

What is the volume of the prism?
GREYUIT [131]

let's firstly conver the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then get their product.

\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot 6\implies \cfrac{270}{2}\implies 135

hmmm I take it that one can write that mixed as 135\frac{0}{2}.

is valid, not that it makes any sense.

1. Graph the function y= 2/x. Draw a chart to show at least four ordered pairs that are on the graph.
blsea [12.9K]
Y = 2/x

x must not have the value of 0 because x is used as a denominator. 
A denominator must not have a value of 0 because the overall value of the fraction is undefined.

x may be any positive or negative integer.

x = 1
y = 2/1 = 2 ⇒ (1,2)

x = 2
y = 2/2 = 1 ⇒ (2,1)

x = 3
y = 2/3 = 0.67 ⇒ (3, 2/3)

x = -1 
y = 2/-1 = -2 ⇒ (-1,-2)

x = -2
y = 2/-2 = -1 ⇒ (-2, -1)

x = -3 
y = 2/-3 or -0.67 ⇒ (-3, -2/3)
