let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{8}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{goal}}{10}-\stackrel{\textit{first week}}{\cfrac{7}{2}}-\stackrel{\textit{second week}}{\cfrac{8}{3}}\implies \cfrac{10}{1}-\cfrac{7}{2}-\cfrac{8}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 6}}{\cfrac{(6)10-(3)7-(2)8}{6}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{60-21-16}{6}\implies \cfrac{23}{6}\implies 3\frac{5}{6}

Answer:

3 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 plus 2 2/3 equals 6 1/6. 10 minus 6 1/6 equals 3 5/6. So they still need to lose 3 5/6 pounds to reach their go of losing 10 pounds.

Describe how to find the sums -4 + 2 and -4 + -2 on a number line
xz_007 [3.2K]
For number 1, you start at zero and go to the left since the four is negative four spaces. Then, you go to the right two spaces since the 2 is positive. Your answer is -2

For number 2, you start at zero and go left four spaces since it is negative and then go two more spaces to the left because it is negative again

Find the interval(s) where the function is increasing and the interval(s) where it is decreasing. (Enter your answers using inte
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

f'(x) > 0 on (-\infty ,\frac{1}{e}) and f'(x)<0 on(\frac{1}{e},\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find and interval where any given function is increasing, the first derivative of its function must be greater than zero:

f'(x)>0

To find its decreasing interval :

f'(x)

2) Then let's find the critical point of this function:

f'(x)=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x}[6-2^{2x}]=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d}x}[6]-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}[2^{2x}]=0-[ln(2)*2^{2x}*\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}[2x]=-ln(2)*2^{2x}*2=-ln2*2^{2x+1\Rightarrow }f'(x)=-ln(2)*2^{2x}*2\\-ln(2)*2^{2x+1}=-2x^{2x}(ln(x)+1)=0

2.2 Solving for x this equation, this will lead us to one critical point since x'  is not defined for Real set, and x''=\frac{1}{e}≈0.37 for e≈2.72

x^{2x}=0 \ni \mathbb{R}\\(ln(x)+1)=0\Rightarrow ln(x)=-1\Rightarrow x=e^{-1}\Rightarrow x\approx 2.72^{-1}x\approx 0.37

3) Finally, check it out the critical point, i.e. f'(x) >0 and below f'(x)<0.
