Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is -1, then the point on the parabol is (-1,4)
If x is 0, then the point on the parabol is (0,-2)
If x is 1, then the point on the parabol is (1,-6)
A volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teams. The Blue division costs $160 per team and the Red division cost $180 per team. How many teams will play in each division.
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
6 teams will play in each division
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
Given that volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teams
The blue division costs $160 per team
The Red division cost $180 per team.
Let the number of blue teams be "b"
Let the number of red teams be "r"
Total cost = number of blue teams x cost of blue division per team + number of red teams x cost of red division per team
Total cost = 160b + 180r
2040 = 160b + 180r
Assuming both divisions have the same number of teams, we substitute b = r = x
2040 = 160x + 180x
2040 = 340x
x = 6
So 6 teams will play in each division
Hi there!
We can calculate dy/dx using implicit differentiation:
xy + y² = 6
Differentiate both sides. Remember to use the Product Rule for the "xy" term:
(1)y + x(dy/dx) + 2y(dy/dx) = 0
Move y to the opposite side:
x(dy/dx) + 2y(dy/dx) = -y
Factor out dy/dx:
dy/dx(x + 2y) = -y
Divide both sides by x + 2y:
dy/dx = -y/x + 2y
We need both x and y to find dy/dx, so plug in the given value of x into the original equation:
-1(y) + y² = 6
-y + y² = 6
y² - y - 6 = 0
(y - 3)(y + 2) = 0
Thus, y = -2 and 3.
We can calculate dy/dx at each point:
At y = -2: dy/dx = -(-2) / -1+ 2(-2) = -2/5.
At y = 3: dy/dx = -(3) / -1 + 2(3) = -3/5.
4(5x+1)(5x-1) = 0
1. Take out the GCF (in this case, 4)
4(25x^2-1) = 0
2. This can be further factored. Factor the values within the parenthesis
4(5x + 1)(5x -1) = 0
