Andy and Jacob work as technicians in a laboratory where gemstones are tested and certified. Andy has already tested 30 gemstone

s and continues testing at a rate of 30 gemstones per hour. Jacob has already tested 40 gemstones and continues testing at a rate of 25 gemstones per hour. Which function can Andy and Jacob use to determine the total number of gemstones they have tested after x hours? How many gemstones will they have tested after 5 hours? A. The function that describes the total number of gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob in x hours is given by f(x) = 55x + 10. Thus, they will have tested 285 gemstones in 5 hours. B. The function that describes the total number of gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob in x hours is given by f(x) = 70x + 55. Thus, they will have tested 405 gemstones in 5 hours. C. The function that describes the total number of gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob in x hours is given by f(x) = 55x + 70. Thus, they will have tested 345 gemstones in 5 hours. D. The function that describes the total number of gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob in x hours is given by f(x) = 60x + 65. Thus, they will have tested 365 gemstones in 5 hours.

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andy tested gemstones already = 30

Jacob tested gemstones already = 40

Total gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob already = 30+40 = 70

Andy continue to test gemstones per hour = 30

Jacob continue to test gemstones per hour = 25

Total gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob per hour = 30 +25 = 55

The total number of gemstones tested by Andy and Jacob after x hours will be: 55x

So, the equation will be: f(x) = 55x + 70

After 5 hours i.e. x =5

f(5) = 55(5) + 70

f(5) = 275 + 70

f(5) = 345

Andy and Jacob will have tested 345 gemstones in 5 hours.

So, Option C is correct.

I need help solving this problem. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%20cos%20%5E%7B-1%7D%20%282x%2B4%29-%20%5Csqrt%7B3-3%20x%5

Given:
f(x)=4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2}

Using
\frac{d}{dx}cos^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
we derive
\frac{d}{dx}4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)
=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}

Similarly, using
\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}
we derive
\frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt{3-3x^2})
=\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}

Therefore, the derivative is
f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2})
=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}+\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}
