What is the answer to number 2

Given P = x^0.3 y^0.7 is the chicken lay eggs production function, where P is the number of eggs lay, x is the number of workers

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Part A)

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

The daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle P=x^{\frac{3}{10}}y^{\frac{7}{10}}$

Where P is the number of eggs laid, x is the number of workers, and y is the daily operating budget (assuming in US dollars $).

A)

We want to find dy/dx.

So, let’s find our equation in terms of x. We can raise both sides to 10/7. Hence:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=\Big(x^\frac{3}{10}y^\frac{7}{10}\Big)^\frac{10}{7}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=x^\frac{3}{7}y$

Divide both sides by the x term to acquire:

$\displaystyle y=P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}$

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\Big[P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}\Big]$

Apply power rule. Note that P is simply a constant. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=P^\frac{10}{7}(-\frac{3}{7})(x^{-\frac{10}{7}})$

Simplify. Hence, our derivative is:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

We want to evaluate the derivative when x is 30 and when y is $10,000.

First, we will need to find P. Our original equations tells us that:

$P=x^{0.3}y^{0.7}$

Hence, at x = 30 and at y = 10,000, P is:

$P=(30)^{0.3}(10000)^{0.7}$

Therefore, for our derivative, we will have:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}\Big(30^{0.3}(10000^{0.7})\Big)^\frac{10}{7}\Big(30^{-\frac{10}{7}}\Big)$

Use a calculator. So:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1000}{7}=-142.857142...\approx-143$

Our derivative is given by dy/dx. So, it represents the change in the daily operating cost over the change in the number of workers.

So, when there are 30 workers with a daily operating cost of $10,000 producing a total of about 1750 eggs, the daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.

Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6

PolarNik [594]

We have that
Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6
Circle 2: center (−2, 1) and radius 2

we know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
for the circle 1---------> (x-8)²+(y-5)²=36
for the circle 2---------> (x+2)²+(y-1)²=4

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

Part A)What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?

we know that
r1/r2---------> 6/2------> 3

to prove that the circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, the radius of circle 1 must be divided by 3 and translate the center of the circle 1 (10) units to the left and (4) units down

the answer part A) is
the radius of circle 1 must be divided by 3 and translate the center of the circle 1 (10) units to the left and (4) units down

Part B) What scale factor does the dilation from Circle 1 to Circle 2 have?

the answer Part B) is
the scale factor is (3/1)

What is 7 7/9 divided by 4/7

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

4 44/49

Step-by-step explanation:

7 7/9 is 70/9

then u use 70/9 multiply by 7/4(I call it keep, change, flip method for division of fraction)

You keep the 1st fraction and because it is a mixed fraction, changing it to improper fraction is easier to solve it later on.

after that, you change the division sign to multiply sign(÷ to ×)

then you flip the 2nd fraction, which means 7/4 becomes 4/7

So overall it becomes 60/7 × 4/7 =240/49,4 44/49 as a mixed fraction.

Answer is 4 44/49
