Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
-(-26) would be positive 26 because one negative multiplied by another negative equals a positive. We are left with -5+26 which would equal 21.

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.
The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:
Answer:
cost of ribeye steak dinners = $10.36
cost of grilled salmon= $11.581
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of one steak dinners be x
Let the cost of one grilled salmon be y
One a particular day the waitress sells 12 ribeye steak dinners and 39 grilled salmon for a total is $575.53 which can be written in equation as
12(x)+39(y)= $575.53-------------------------------------(1)
On another day she sells 25 ribeye steak dinners and 13 grilled salmon dinners totals to $582.43.This can be represented as
25(x)+ 13(y)= $582.43-------------------------------------(2)
solving the equation (1) and (2)
eq(1) x 1
eq(2) x 3
-------------------------(3)
Subtracting these equation we get,


x= 10.36
Now substituting this in equation (1)




y=11.581
