Bob sold 5 toaster ovens and 3 blenders for $500. if a blender is $20 less than a toaster oven, how much is a blender?

The answer would be $50 per blender. 
To explain the way I did it --
Toaster ovens - 70 * 5 = 350
70 - 20 = 50
Blenders - 50 * 3 = 150
350 + 150 = 500

The total cost is $500 and this is distributed between 5 toasters and 3 blenders. Let's assign "t" for the price of a toaster and "b" for the price of a blender.
500=5t+3b
we know that a blender costs $20 less than a toaster which is expressed by "b=t-20", so instead of "b" we can write "t-20" to represent the price of a blender
500=5t+3(t-20)
500=5t+3t-60 distribute the 3
500+60=5t+3t-60+60 add 60 to both sides
560=8t add like terms
560/8=8t/8 divide both sides by 8
70=t 
therefore a toaster costs $70
We can then substitute 70 into the "b=t-20" expression to find the price of a blender:
b=70-20
b=50
therefore, a blender costs $50

Using geometry, calculate the volume of the solid under z=64−x2−y2and over the circular disk x2+y2≤64
Anarel [89]
Perhaps you mean to find the volume under z=\sqrt{64-x^2-y^2}? It seems like you have to rely on calculus otherwise (in the case that you indeed mean z=64-x^2-y^2).

Assuming this, note that z=\sqrt{64-x^2-y^2} describes the top half of a sphere with radius 8, which means the volume below this surface over the disk x^2+y^2\le64 is simply half the volume of the sphere. Thus the volume is

Solve the system by substitution.<br> 4y =<br> 5x -10y =-50
Trava [24]

Answer:

x = -20 ; y =-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Eqn. 1 ----> 4y = x

Eqn. 2 ----> 5x-10y = -50

(Simplifying eqn.2 further)

=>5(x-2y)=-50

=>x-2y=\frac{-50}{5} =-10

(Substituting the value of x from eqn. 1)

=>4y-2y=-10

=>2y=-10

=>y =\frac{-10}{2} =-5

Now, substituting the value of y in eqn. 1 ,

x = 4*(-5)=-20

The weather report stated there was a 2/3 chance of rain on Friday, but it was more likely to rain on Saturday than Friday. What
Juliette [100K]
You don't have any choices here, so we can just find the range of the answer. Then, you can select the correct answer.

The probability must be greater than 66.67%:  P > 66.67% (or 2/3).

The chance of rain on Friday is 2/3. If it is more likely on Saturday, then it must be more than 2/3. 2/3 is about 66.67% percent.

Proof that x^y + y^x &gt; 1 for all x,y &gt; 0 ...?
bekas [8.4K]
To prove this inequality we need to consider three cases. We need to see that the equation is symmetric and that switching the variables x and y does not change the equation.

Case 1: x >= 1, y >= 1

It is obvious that

 x^y >= 1, y^x >= 1
 x^y + y^x >= 2 > 1
 x^y + y^x > 1

Case 2: x >= 1, 0 < y < 1

 Considering the following sub-cases:

  - x = 1, x^y = 1
  - x > 1,

    Let x = 1 + n, where n > 0

    x^y = (1 + n)^y = f_n(y)

    By Taylor Expansion of f_e(y) around y = 0,

    x^y = f_n(0) + f_n'(0)/1!*y + f_n''(0)/2!*y^2 + ...
        = 1 + ln(1 + n)/1!*y + ln(1 + n)^2/2!*y^2 + ...

    Since ln(1 + n) > 0,

    x^y > 1

  Thus, we can say that x^y >= 1, and since y^x > 0.

  x^y + y^x > 1

  By symmetry, 0 < x < 1, y >= 1, also yields the same.

Case 3: 0 < x, y < 1

  We can prove this case by fixing one variable at a time and by invoking symmetry to prove the relation.

  Fixing the variable y, we can set the expression as a function,

  f(x) = x^y + y^x
  f'(x) = y*x^(y-1) + y^x*ln y 
  For all x > 0 and y > 0, it is obvious that
  f'(x) > 0.

  Hence, the function f(x) is increasing and hence the function f(x) would be at its minimum when x -> 0+ (this means close to zero but always greater than zero). 

  lim x->0+ f(x) = 0^y + y^0 = 0 + 1 = 1

  Thus, this tells us that 

  f(x) > 1.

  Fixing variable y, by symmetry also yields the same result: f(x) > 1.

  Hence, when x and y are varying, f(x) > 1 must also hold true.
    Thus, x^y + y^x > 1.

We have exhausted all the possible cases and shown that the relation holds true for all cases. Therefore, 

<span>  x^y + y^x > 1

I have to give credit to my colleague, Mikhael Glen Lataza for the wonderful solution.


I hope it has come to your help.
