The line y = x + 3 has slope 1, so we look for points on the curve where the tangent line, whose slope is dy/dx, is equal to 1.
y² = x
Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x) :
2y dy/dx = 1
dy/dx = 1/(2y)
Solve for y when dy/dx = 1 :
1 = 1/(2y)
2y = 1
y = 1/2
When y = 1/2, we have x = y² = (1/2)² = 1/4. However, for the given line, when y = 1/2, we have x = y - 3 = 1/2 - 3 = -5/2.
This means the line y = x + 3 is not a tangent to the curve y² = x. In fact, the line never even touches y² = x :
x = y² ⇒ y = y² + 3 ⇒ y² - y + 3 = 0
has no real solution for y.
The cost of 8 pounds of oranges based on the total cost of 5 pounds bought is 12.00
What is the cost for a pound of oranges?
The cost of a pound of oranges based on the rate at which 5 pounds were bought and 8 pounds would also be bought is determined as the amount paid for 5 pounds of oranges divided by the number of pounds of oranges bought
cost per pound of oranges=cost of 5 pounds/5 pounds
cost per pound of oranges=7.50/5
cost per pound of oranges=1.50
Based on the 1.50 per pound, the cost of 8 pounds is the cost per pound multiplied by 8 pounds
cost of 8 pounds of oranges=1.50*8pounds
cost of 8 pounds of oranges=12.00

Answer:
9 games
Step-by-step explanation:
If he purchase 1 game, he spent $12.50. If he purchased 2 games, he spent 2(12.50) = $25.
This means he spent 12.5x for x number of games.
His total spending will be 12.5x + 20. He has $17.50 left on the card from $150.
150 - (12.5x + 20) = 17.5
150 - 12.5x -20 = 17.5
130 - 12.5x = 17.5
-12.5x = 17.5 - 130
-12.5x = -112.5
x = 9
The lowest one is 4, just multiply the first fraction by 2
