A radio-controlled helicopter sells for $20, but needs a lithium battery that costs 25% of that price. A sales tax of 6% will be

added to the cost of both items. What is the total cost of the helicopter, battery and tax? Complete the explanation.

Answer:

The total cost of the helicopter = $26.5

The cost of lithium battery = $5.

The amount of sales tax = $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a radio-controlled helicopter sells for $20, but needs a lithium battery that costs 25% of that price.

We can find the price of battery by finding 25% of 20.

$\text{The cost of lithium battery}=\frac{25}{100}\times 20$

$\text{The cost of lithium battery}=\frac{25}{5}$

$\text{The cost of lithium battery}=5$

Therefore, the cost of lithium battery is $5.

Now let us find the sales tax on the cost of helicopter and lithium battery.

$\text{Total sales tax}=\frac{6}{100}\times (20+5)$

$\text{Total sales tax}=0.06\times (25)$

$\text{Total sales tax}=1.5$

Therefore, the total sales tax will be $1.5.

We can find the total cost of helicopter by adding the cost of helicopter, cost of lithium battery and total amount of sales tax.

$\text{The total cost of helicopter}=20+5+1.5$

$\text{The total cost of helicopter}=26.5$

Therefore, the total cost of helicopter will be $26.5.

Pls Help - Calc. HW dy/dx problem

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{-2}{x \ln (10)[\log (x) - 2]^2}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify.</em>

$\displaystyle y = \frac{\log (x)}{\log (x) - 2}$

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

[Function] Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{[\log (x) - 2][\log (x)]' - [\log (x) - 2]'[\log (x)]}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Rewrite [Derivative Rule - Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{[\log (x) - 2][\log (x)]' - [\log (x)' - 2'][\log (x)]}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Logarithmic Differentiation: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{[\log (x) - 2]\frac{1}{\ln (10)x} - [\frac{1}{\ln (10)x} - 2'][\log (x)]}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{[\log (x) - 2]\frac{1}{\ln (10)x} - \frac{1}{\ln (10)x}[\log (x)]}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{\frac{\log (x) - 2}{\ln (10)x} - \frac{\log (x)}{\ln (10)x}}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{\frac{-2}{\ln (10)x}}{[\log (x) - 2]^2}$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{-2}{x \ln (10)[\log (x) - 2]^2}$

A sphere has a radius of 2x + 5. Which polynomial in standard form best describes the total surface area of the sphere? Use the

faust18 [17]

Start with the given formula for the surface area of a sphere.

$S = 4 \pi r^2$

Now substitute 2x + 5 in for r, the radius.
Then simplify the expression and write it in standard form.

$S = 4 \pi (2x + 5)^2$

$S = 4 \pi (4x^2 + 20x + 25)$

$S = 16 \pi x^2 + 80 \pi x + 100 \pi$
