A teacher bought 32 notebooks, 72 pencils and 24 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some e

rasers for his students. He used everything he bought, and every student got a package. What is the largest number of students the teacher can have in his class? How many notebooks, pencils, erasers would be in each package?

I think that if they are all identical packages at most there are 8 class members. I am thinking that the answer is 8 because 8 is the greatest common factor between all three numbers(24,32,72).

Cannot go higher with out giving half a pencil to someone.Or 1/3 of a notebook.
But, all the numbers are divisible by 8. 

So, each of the 8 students would get in their package:
72/8= 9 pencils
32/8= 4 notebooks
24/8= 3 erasers

Final Answer: 8 people at most are in this class and each student receives an identical package containing 4 notebooks, 9pencils, and 3 erasers.

Hope this helped! Comment with any questions you still have on this!

Given that a<span> teacher bought 32 notebooks, 72 pencils and 24 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some erasers for his students.

</span>Given that h<span>e used everything he bought, and every student got a package the largest number of students the teacher can have in his class</span> represents the highest common factor of 32, 72 and 24.

32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

HCF = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Therefore, the <span>largest number of students the teacher can have in his class is 8 students.

The number of notebooks in each package is given by 32 / 8 = 4 notebooks.
The number of pencils in each package is given by 72 / 8 = 9 pencils
The number of erasers in each package is given by 24 / 8 = 3 erasers

Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point defined by the given value of t. Also, find the value of d^2y/dx
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Differentiation will give you the gradient for the tangent at any point, and you use the product rule whenever a function can be thought of as two functions multiplied together.

If

f

(

x

)

=

g

(

x

)

×

h

(

x

)

then

f

'

(

x

)

=

g

'

(

x

)

h

(

x

)

+

g

(

x

)

h

'

(

x

)

so if

y

=

x

×

sin

x

then

d

y

d

x

=

1

×

sin

x

+

x

×

cos

x

=

sin

x

+

x

cos

x

We know that

x

=

π

2

, so the gradient is

m

=

sin

(

π

2

)

+

π

2

cos

(

π

2

)

=

1

+

π

2

×

0

=

1

Therefore, we can say that

y

=

m

x

+

c

y

=

(

1

)

x

+

c

y

=

x

+

c

So all we really need to find now is the value for

c

, the

y

intercept. We do this by working out a point

(

x

,

y

)

on the graph. We are already given that

x

=

π

2

, so

y

=

x

sin

x

=

π

2

sin

(

π

2

)

=

π

2

×

1

=

π

2

∴

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

Now we substitute this into the equation we already have for the tangent,

y

=

x

+

c

,

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

π

2

=

π

2

+

c

c

=

π

2

−

π

2

=

0

∴

y

=

x

+

c

=

x

+

(

0

)

=

x

which means the tangent to the curve

y

=

x

sin

x

at

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

is simply

y

=

x

.
