Answer:

27,28,29

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+1+x+2 =84

3x +3 =84

3x=84-3

3x=81

x=81 :3

x=27 (the first number

27 +1=28 (the second number

27 +2 =29 (the third number

The function f(x)=600+2x over x yields the average cost in dollars for a company to produce x calendars. Which statement best fi

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct option is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average cost function is

$f(x)=\frac{600+2x}{x}$

Where x is the number of calendars produced.

The average cost formula is

$AC=\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of items}}$

Therefore the total cost is defined b the function

$g(x)=600+2x$

Here 600 is the initial cost and the cost each unit is 2.

Initial cost is the fixed cost which occurs at zero level of productivity.

The company spends $600 on a new computer and printer before beginning the project. The option (a) is correct.

ln(y+1)-lny=1+3lnx . Express y in terms of x, in a form not involving logarithms. (4 marks, Maths CIE A level)

Delicious77 [7]

$remember$
$ln(x)=log_e(x)$
$and$
$log_x(a)-log_x(b)= log_x( \frac{a}{b} )$
$and$
$log_a(b)=c$ means $a^c=b$
$and$
$blog(a)=log(a^b)$

$so$

$ln(y+1)-ln(y)=1+3ln(x)$
$ln( \frac{y+1}{y} )=1+ln(x^3)$

$minus$ $ln(x^3)$ $from$ $both$ $sides$

$ln( \frac{y+1}{y}-ln(x^3) )=1$
$ln( \frac{y+1}{yx^3})=1$
$log_e( \frac{y+1}{yx^3})=1$

$translate$

$e^1=\frac{y+1}{yx^3}$
$e=\frac{y+1}{yx^3}$

$times$ $both$ $sides$ $by$ $yx^3$

$eyx^3=y+1$

$minus$ $y$ $from$ $both$ $sides$

$eyx^3-y=1$
$y(ex^3-1)=1$

$divide$ $both$ $sides$ $by$ $(ex³-1)$

$y= \frac{1}{ex^3-1}$

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

So you have 3/4x2/3 because it's 2/3 of the bag left, so you find the least common denominator (bottom number of fraction), which in this case is 12, so you find how you get to 12 for each of the bottom numbers, so x3 on the first one, and x4 on the other one. then you multiply the top numbers by what you multiply the bottom ones by, so it would be 9/12x8/12 you then multiply both numbers so 72/144 and then you simplify that to 1/2 so it's 1/2lb.

In 2000, people charged 1,243 billion on the four most used types of credit cards. In 2005, people charged 1,838 billion on thes

baherus [9]

Alright, so the rate of change is the same thing as the slope, so we can find this by using the slope formula (which I took a picture of because it's super messy to type it out like this)

Now that we know the slope formula, we need to find the x values and the y values to plug into the equation. We'll say that the years are our x values and the money spent (in billions) are our y values. Now that we've set up an axis, we can create points! Our points would be (2000, 1243) and (2005, 1838)

Now we can plug our points into our equations! On the top of our equation, we'll put (1838-1243), and on the bottom we'll put (2005-2000). When we simplify that, we end up with 595/5, which simplifies to 119. Now we know that the rate of change for the credit cards was 119 billion!
