Let's call their parts w,m and s

if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)

Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s

and m=2/3s

Again:
m+s=2w

and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w

we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:

5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w

so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)

and the total was 30+36+24=90.

She spent 1/6 of it on snacks and 1/3 of it on a new book. She saves the rest. What fraction of the money did she save?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First step is that you need to have the same denominators so 1/3=2/6</em>

<em>If she spent 1/6 on snacks and 2/6 on a book which means she spent 3/6</em>

<em>so the fraction of what she saved is 3/6 or 1/2</em>

The line tangent to the graph of g(x) = x^{3}-4x+1 at the point (2, 1) is given by the formula
Usimov [2.4K]

well, about A and D, I just plugged the values on the slope formula of

\bf \begin{array}{llll} g(x)=x^3-4x+1\\ L(x) = 8(x-2)+1 \end{array} \qquad \begin{cases} x_1=1.9\\ x_2=2.1 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

for A the values are 8.01 and 8.0, so indeed those "slopes" are close. \textit{\huge \checkmark}

for D the values are -2.25 and 8.0, so no dice on that one.

for B, let's check the y-intercept for g(x), by setting x = 0, we end up g(0) = 0³-4(0)+1, which gives us g(0) = 1.

checking L(x) y-intercept, well, L(x) is in slope-intercept form, thus the +1 sticking out on the far right is the y-intercept, so, dice. \textit{\huge \checkmark}

for C, well, the slope if L(x) is 8, since it's in slope-intercept form, the derivative of g(x) is g'(x) = 3x² - 4, and thus g'(0) = -4, so no dice.

for E, do they intercept at (2,1)?  well, come on now, L(x) is a tangent line to g(x), so that's a must for a tangent. \textit{\huge \checkmark}

for F, we know the slope of the line L(x) is 8, is g'(2) = 8?  let's check

recall that g'(x) = 3x² - 4, so g'(2) = 3(2)² - 4, meaning g'(2) = 8, so, dice. \textit{\huge \checkmark}
