A large bin of mixed nuts contains peanuts, cashews, almonds, and walnuts. Luke scoops out a bowl full of nuts and counts how ma

ny of each type he has: 18 peanuts, 8 cashews, 10 almonds, and 9 walnuts.
Armando scoops out a bowl of 30 nuts. About how many should he expect to be peanuts?

D.12

In total Luke found 18 peanuts out of 45 nuts- a ratio of 2:5

Armando will expect to find a ratio of 2:5 which is 12 peanuts out of 30 nuts.

<u>Calculus</u>

Derivatives

Derivative Notation

Derivative of a constant is 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u /> $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{x - 3}$ <u />

<u /> $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}$ <u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = (x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x - 3]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} \cdot (1 \cdot x^{1 - 1} - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$

<u>Step 3: Solve</u>

<em>Find coordinates</em>

<em />

<em>x-coordinate</em>

Substitute in <em>y'</em> [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply √(x - 3) on both sides: $\displaystyle \sqrt{x - 3} = 1$
[Equality Property] Square both sides: $\displaystyle x - 3 = 1$
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle x = 4$

<em>y-coordinate</em>

Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function]: $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{4 - 3}$
[√Radical] Subtract: $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{1}$
[√Radical] Evaluate: $\displaystyle y = 1$

∴ Coordinates of Point N is (4, 1).

find the exponential regression equation for the data points (-4, 0.75), (-2, 6), (3, 28), and (5, 162)

zubka84 [21]

<span>for that, what you need is a calculator... like say a TI(texas instruments) 83 or 83plus or higher, will do regressions, if you have an android device like a phone or tablet, you can also get an app from the play store "Andie's graph", is a TI calculator emulator, it works just like the calculator itself, you'd only need the ROM

</span><span>that said, you can also use some online calculators for that.
</span>
<span>I could give you a direct link to one, but this site has issues with links, if you do a quick search in google for "keisan exponential regression calculator", it should be the first link, is from the Casio site.
</span>
<span>you could do regressions in a spreadsheet as well.... you could check online for an "addin" or "extension", if you use MS Excel, pretty sure there are some addins for regressions.
</span>
if I recall correctly, Excel does regressions natively, but the addins are just frontends, is all, just some added interfacing.

anyhow, if you have an Android device Andie Graph works peachy, I have an 83plus, 84, 86 in it, they all work just like my old TI83plus.

there's also an app in the play store called Graph89, is an emulator for a TI89, the same you need a tiny little file, and texas instruments provides them, have also, works peachy too.

1) Has zeros at -2 and 4, both being double roots<br><br> 2) As x→∞, y→−∞

irina1246 [14]

-(x+2)^2(x-4)^2

Not that if x= -2 and x=4 they will look like this in an equation: (x+2) and (x-4)
When (x+2) and (x-4) are set equal to zero and you solve for x, x will equal x= -2 and x=4

If they have double roots, they have a multiplicity of 2 (per root) meaning they will bounce off of the x-axis. Multiplicity can be found by using exponents.

The negative in front flips the function over the x-axis and holds true to the given limit.
