Let the required no. be x then according to question
(84/100)*x = 21
x = 21*(100/84)
x = 2100/84
x = 25


hence the required no. is 25


hope it helped

Find the local maximum and minimum values of f using both the first and second derivative tests. f(x) = 6 9x2 − 6x3 local maximu
olga55 [171]

The local minimum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 6 and the local maximum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 9.

For given question,

We have been given a function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³

We need to find the local maximum and local minimum of the function  f(x)

First we find the first derivative of the function.

⇒ f'(x) = 0 + 18x - 18x²

⇒ f'(x) = - 18x² + 18x

Putting the first derivative of the function equal to zero, we get

⇒ f'(x) = 0

⇒ - 18x² + 18x = 0

⇒ 18(-x² + x) = 0

⇒ x (-x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = 0    or    -x + 1 = 0

⇒ x = 0     or    x = 1

Now we find the second derivative of the function.

⇒ f"(x) = - 36x + 18

At x = 0 the value of second derivative of function f(x),

⇒ f"(0) = - 36(0) + 18

⇒ f"(0) = 0 + 18

⇒ f"(0) = 18

Here, at x=0, f"(x) > 0

This means, the function f(x) has the local minimum value at x = 0,  which is given by

⇒ f(0) = 6 + 9(0)² - 6(0)³

⇒ f(0) = 6 + 0 - 0

⇒ f(0) = 6

At x = 1 the value of second derivative of function f(x),

⇒ f"(1) = - 36(1) + 18

⇒ f"(1) = - 18

Here, at x = 1, f"(x) < 0

This means, the function f(x) has the local maximum value at x = 1,  which is given by

⇒ f(1) = 6 + 9(1)² - 6(1)³

⇒ f(1) = 6 + 9 - 6

⇒ f(1) = 9

So, the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ has local minimum at x = 0 and local maximum at x = 1.

Therefore, the local minimum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 6 and the local maximum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 9.

the sum of two numbers is 57. If the larger number is three less than twice the smaller number find both numbers
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = larger number, y = smaller number

x + y = 57

x = 2y - 3

2y - 3 + y = 57

3y - 3 = 57

3y = 57 + 3

3y = 60

y = 60/3

y = 20 <=== the smaller number

x = 2y - 3

x = 2(20) - 3

x = 40 - 3

x = 37 <=== the larger number

How tall is the goal post if its shadow is 18ft. The height of the flagpole is 20 ft and its shadow is 8 ft.?
tamaranim1 [39]

You can set up an inequality to solve this. You can either do big to small --> \frac{x}{18} = \frac{20}{8} or small to big --> \frac{x}{18} = \frac{8}{20}. I'm going to be using big to small because I think it's a little easier.

\frac{20}{8} = \frac{x}{18}

Cross multiply and you will get:

360 = 8x

Isolate x:

x = \frac{360}{8}

x = \frac{90}{2}

x = 45

The goal post is 45 feet tall. Hope this helped. Good luck. : )

The ordered pair (0,4) is a soultion of which system
Anettt [7]
<span>This question is asking you to substitute 0 for X and 5 for y in both equations. If the right hand value is equal to the left hand value after making the substitution, the answer is "yes". Otherwise, the answer is "no". 
Substitute 0 for x and 5 for y in the first equation and then the second equation. Since 0 + 5 = 5 and -5*0 + 2*5 = 10 the answer </span>
