multiply -7/18 x 3 days

-7/18 x 3/1 = -21/18 = -1 3/18 = -1 1/6 change

Let the temperature today be x °F.

Change in temperature after 1 day = $(x - \frac{7}{18} )$ °F

Change in temperature after 2 days = $(x - \frac{7}{18} ) - \frac{7}{18} = (x - 2*\frac{7}{18} )$ °F

Change in temperature after 3 days
= $(x - 2*\frac{7}{18} ) - \frac{7}{18} = (x - 3*\frac{7}{18} )=(x - \frac{7}{6} )$ °F

If you are offered one slice from a round pizza (in other words, a sector of a circle) and the slice must have a perimeter of 24

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $r$ be the radius and $\theta$ be the angle of a circle.

According with the graph, the area of the sector is given by

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta$

The arc lenght of a circle with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ is $r \theta$

The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches. Thus the perimeter has length

$2r+r\theta=24 \:in$

We need to express the area as a function of one variable, to do this we use the above equation and we solve for $\theta$

$2r+r\theta=24\\r\theta=24-2r\\\theta=\frac{24-2r}{r}$

Next, we substitute this equation into the area equation

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2(\frac{24-2r}{r})\\A=\frac{1}{2}r(24-2r)\\A=12r-r^2$

The domain of the area is

$0$

To find the diameter of pizza that will reward you with the largest slice you need to find the derivative of the area and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.

$\frac{d}{dr} A=\frac{d}{dr}(12r-r^2)\\A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr}(12r)-\frac{d}{dr}(r^2)\\A'(r)=12-2r$

$12-2r=0\\-2r=-12\\\frac{-2r}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}\\r=6$

To check if $r=6$ is a maximum we use the Second Derivative test

if $f'(c)=0$ and $f''(c)$ , then f(x) has a local maximum at x = c.

The second derivative is

$\frac{d}{dr} A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr} (12-2r)\\A''(r)=-2$

Because $A''(r)=-2$ the largest slice is when r = 6 in.

The diameter of the pizza is given by

$D=2r=2\cdot 6=12 \:in$

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Why is the greatest common factors with 2 numbers sometimes 1

Can someone please tell me the answer to x + x + y x y

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2x+1y

Step-by-step explanation:

because a variable (the letter) is always 1, in that case 1 + 1 is 2 and 1 x 1 is 1. but since x and y are two different letters you cannot add them. hoped that helped :)

14 lessons costs $210. What would 72 lessons cost

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$1,080

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can make a proportion

14 lessons are $210 and 72 lessons are $x

14/210=72/x

Cross multiply

14*x=210*72

14x=15120

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 14, divide both sides by 14.

14x/14=15120/14

x=1080

So, 72 lessons will cost $1,080
