Answer:

<u>Kathy worked 11 hours at job A and 12 hours at job B, the week she made US$ 146.70.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Rate per hour of Job A = US$ 5.70

Rate per hour of Job B = US$ 7.00

Earnings received by Kathy during the week = US$ 146.70

Total time worked by Kathy during the week = 23 hours

Hours at job A = x

Hours at job B = 23 -x

2. Let's find how many hours Katy worked at each job:

This is the equation that we'll use:

5.70x + 7 (23 - x) = 146.70

5.70x + 161 - 7x = 146.70

- 1.3x = 146.70 - 161 (Subtracting 161 at both sides)

-1.3x = - 14.30

1.3x = 14.3 (Multiplying by - 1 at both sides)

x = 14.3/1.3 = 11 (Dividing by 1.3 at both sides)

<u>Kathy worked 11 hours at job A and 12 hours at job B.</u>

3. Proof of x = 11

5.70 x + 7 (23 - x) = 146.70

5.70 (11) + 7 (23 - 11) = 146.70

62.70 + 7 (12) = 146.70

62.70 + 84 = 146.70

146.70 = 146.70

<u>The value of x = 11 is correct.</u>

Note. I provided the same answer to question 13954115.

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x &gt; 0)
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point (x_0,y_0) the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the  given point is

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0) or equivalently

y = mx+(y_0-mx_0).

Recall that a line of the form y=mx+b, the y intercept is b and the x intercept is \frac{-b}{m}.

So, in our case, the y intercept is (y_0-mx_0) and the x  intercept is \frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}.

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph (x_0,\frac{1}{x_0}). Which means that y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at x_0. Using the properties of derivatives, we get

y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}. So evaluated at x_0 we get m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}

The x intercept is

\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0

The triangle in consideration has height \frac{2}{x_0} and base 2x_0. So the area is

\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
