Answer:

{(-34/7, -16/7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange values, multiply to solve for x.

(5) 2y = 3x + 10

(-2) 5y = 4x + 8

Solve for x.

10y = 15x + 50 ↓

-10y = -8x -16

Combine and evaluate.

0 = 7x + 34

Subtract 34 from both sides.

7x = -34

Divide both sides by 7.

x = $\frac{-34}{7}$

Plugin x value into either equation to solve for y.

2y = (3 × $\frac{-34}{7}$ ) + 10

2y = $\frac{-102}{7}$ + 10

2y = $\frac{-32}{7}$

y = $\frac{-16}{7}$

An open metal tank of square base has a volume of 123 m^3

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a) h = 123/x^2

b) S = x^2 +492/x

c) x ≈ 6.27

d) S'' = 6; area is a minimum (Y)

e) Amin ≈ 117.78 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The volume is given by ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, x^2, and h is the height. Filling in the given volume, and solving for the height, we get:

123 = x^2·h

h = 123/x^2

b) The surface area is the sum of the area of the base (x^2) and the lateral area, which is the product of the height and the perimeter of the base.

$S=x^2+Ph=x^2+(4x)\dfrac{123}{x^2}\\\\S=x^2+\dfrac{492}{x}$

c) The derivative of the area with respect to x is ...

$S'=2x-\dfrac{492}{x^2}$

When this is zero, area is at an extreme.

$0=2x -\dfrac{492}{x^2}\\\\0=x^3-246\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{246}\approx 6.26583$

d) The second derivative is ...

$S''=2+\dfrac{2\cdot 492}{x^3}=2+\dfrac{2\cdot 492}{246}=6$

This is positive, so the value of x found represents a minimum of the area function.

e) The minimum area is ...

$S=x^2+\dfrac{2\cdot 246}{x}=(246^{\frac{1}{3}})^2+2\dfrac{246}{246^{\frac{1}{3}}}=3\cdot 246^{\frac{2}{3}}\approx 117.78$

The minimum area of metal used is about 117.78 m².

850 tens equals how many thousand

aniked [119]

Well, all you have to do to solve this is multiply 850 times 10, which is 8,500, so that means there are 8 thousands.

$21 times .06 = $1.26 in taxes and $21 times .15 = $3.15 in tip so you add $21+ 1.26 + 3.15 = $25.41
