The problem is how many people must attend the third show so that the average attendance for three shows is 3000? And the other

show attendance numbers are 2580, and 2920

An average is just the total attendance numbers / the number of performances.

Let's let the number of people in the third show be equal to x so we can write this as a formula, it's easier to read. x is just "some number we don't know"

The average is

Average=Total attendance/3
So
3000=(2580+2920+x)/3

So let's multiply by that 3 on both sides, make x easier to find

Average*3=2580+2920+x ( * means multiplied)

The average is 3000

So

2580+2920+x=3000*3
2580+2920+x=9000

Then we subtract those other attendances to get x on its own.

x=9000-2580-2920
x=3500

Answer:

$\frac{6}{20} \ mile\ per\ hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every 1/2 of an hour that the turtle is crawling, he can travel 3/20 of a mile

Question asked:

At what unit rate is the turtle crawling?

Solution:

As here<u> time taken is given</u> and the <u>distance traveled is also given </u>and hence we will apply speed and distance formula to find rate of crawling of turtle.

Time taken by turtle = $\frac{1}{2} \ hour$

Distance which can be traveled by turtle = $\frac{3}{20} \ miles$

$Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$=\frac{3}{20} \div\frac{1}{2} \\\\ =\frac{3}{20} \times\frac{2}{1} \\ \\ =\frac{6}{20}$

Therefore, the rate at which the turtle is crawling is $\frac{6}{20} \ mile\ per\ hour$

Can someone solve what is n/n^3

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Alex = No B.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Quotient Rule: $\frac{x^{a} }{x^{b} } =x^{a-b}$

$n^{1-3}$

2) Simplify 1 - 3 = 2

$n^{-2}$

3) Use Negative Power Rule: $x^{-a} =\frac{1}{x^{a} }$

$\frac{1}{n^{2} }$

Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

<em>Using first principle, this gives:</em>

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

<em>Hence, the smallest sum is 2</em>
