Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100.

So to write 3/5 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 3/5 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

$So$ $we$ $have$ $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{n}{100}$

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

So we have 3 times 100 which is 300 is equal to 5 times n or 5n.

300 = 5n

Next, dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we have <em>60 = n</em>.

So 3/5 is equal to 60/100 or 60%.

(3/5)*100
= 60%

To write a fraction as a percentage, you have to divide it by 100

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

48,400 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

(220+180)/2*260=52000

1/2(180)(60)=5400

So the total area is 52000+5400=57400

Basketball court=2400

Picnic area = 4200

Playground = 40x50 + 10x40=2400

2400+4200+2400=9000

57400-9000=48400

(d). Use an appropriate technique to find the derivative of the following functions:

natima [27]

(i) I would first suggest writing this function as a product of the functions,

$\displaystyle y = fgh = (4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \pi^x$

then apply the product rule. Hopefully it's clear which function each of f, g, and h refer to.

We then have, using the power and chain rules,

$\displaystyle \frac{df}{dx} = \frac12 (4+3x^2)^{-1/2} \cdot 6x = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{dg}{dx} = -\frac13 (x^2+1)^{-4/3} \cdot 2x = -\frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}}$

For the third function, we first rewrite in terms of the logarithmic and the exponential functions,

$h = \pi^x = e^{\ln(\pi^x)} = e^{\ln(\pi)x}$

Then by the chain rule,

$\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dx} = e^{\ln(\pi)x} \cdot \ln(\pi) = \ln(\pi) \pi^x$

By the product rule, we have

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{df}{dx}gh + f\frac{dg}{dx}h + fg\frac{dh}{dx}$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \pi^x - (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}} \pi^x + (4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \ln(\pi) \pi^x$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}} \frac{1}{(x^2+1)^{1/3}} \pi^x - (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}} \pi^x + (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{1}{ (x^2+1)^{1/3}} \ln(\pi) \pi^x$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{\pi^x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{1/3}} \left( 3x - \frac{2x(4+3x^2)}{3(x^2+1)} + (4+3x^2)\ln(\pi)\right)}$

You could simplify this further if you like.

In Mathematica, you can confirm this by running

D[(4+3x^2)^(1/2) (x^2+1)^(-1/3) Pi^x, x]

The immediate result likely won't match up with what we found earlier, so you could try getting a result that more closely resembles it by following up with Simplify or FullSimplify, as in

FullSimplify[%]

(% refers to the last output)

If it still doesn't match, you can try running

Reduce[<our result> == %, {}]

and if our answer is indeed correct, this will return True. (I don't have access to M at the moment, so I can't check for myself.)

(ii) Given

$\displaystyle \frac{xy^3}{1+\sec(y)} = e^{xy}$

differentiating both sides with respect to x by the quotient and chain rules, taking y = y(x), gives

$\displaystyle \frac{(1+\sec(y))\left(y^3+3xy^2 \frac{dy}{dx}\right) - xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y) \frac{dy}{dx}}{(1+\sec(y))^2} = e^{xy} \left(y + x\frac{dy}{dx}\right)$

$\displaystyle \frac{y^3(1+\sec(y)) + 3xy^2(1+\sec(y)) \frac{dy}{dx} - xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y) \frac{dy}{dx}}{(1+\sec(y))^2} = ye^{xy} + xe^{xy}\frac{dy}{dx}$

$\displaystyle \frac{y^3}{1+\sec(y)} + \frac{3xy^2}{1+\sec(y)} \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y)}{(1+\sec(y))^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = ye^{xy} + xe^{xy}\frac{dy}{dx}$

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{3xy^2}{1+\sec(y)} - \frac{xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y)}{(1+\sec(y))^2} - xe^{xy}\right) \frac{dy}{dx}= ye^{xy} - \frac{y^3}{1+\sec(y)}$
