Answer:

About 152 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equal proportions to solve for the $5.99 bag.

We know that 24 pieces = .99, so

\frac{25 pieces}{.99 dollars} = \frac{x pieces}{5.99 dollars}

Make sure to keep the pieces on top, and the dollars on bottom (or vice versa). If your units are messed up, it will not work.

Cross-multiply.

25(5.99) = .99x

Simplify.

149.75 = .99x

Divide both sides by .99.

x = 151.26 = about 151 pieces of candy

Use f’( x ) = lim With h ---> 0 [f( x + h ) - f ( x )]/h to find the derivative at x for the given function. 5-x²
beks73 [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The derivative of the function f(x) is:

                 f'(x)=-2x

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a function f(x) as:

f(x)=5-x^2

We have:

f(x+h)=5-(x+h)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\f(x+h)=5-(x^2+h^2+2xh)

( Since,

(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab )

Hence, we get:

f(x+h)=5-x^2-h^2-2xh

Also, by using the definition of f'(x) i.e.

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

Hence, on putting the value in the formula:

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-(5-x^2)}{h}\\\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-5+x^2}{h}\\\\i.e.\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2}{h}+\dfrac{-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} -h-2x\\\\i.e.\ on\ putting\ the\ limit\ we\ obtain:\\\\f'(x)=-2x

      Hence, the derivative of the function f(x) is:

          f'(x)=-2x

love history [14]

Answer:

36\ liters\ of\ soil

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The ratio of soil, manure and leaf mould is 3:1:2

That means

For every 6 liters of the compost, he use 3 liters of soil

so by proportion

Find how many liters of soil does he use for 72 liters of compost

\frac{3}{6}=\frac{x}{72}\\ \\x=3*72/6\\ \\x=36\ liters\ of\ soil

12 minutes        48 minutes

Using cross products

4 * 48 = 12x

192 = 12x

Divide by 12 on each side

192/12 =12x/12
