$\text{Hi there! :]}$

$\large\boxed{y = 8}$

$3y + 8 = 1/2y + 28\\\\\text{Subtract 8 from both sides:}\\\\3y + 8 - 8 = 1/2y + 28 - 8\\\\3y = 1/2y + 20\\\\\text{Subtract 1/2y from both sides:}\\\\3y - 1/2y = 1/2y - 1/2y+ 20\\ \\\text{Convert 3y to 6/2y to make subtracting easier:}\\5/2y = 20\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 5/2 (Multiply by reciprocal, or 2/5):}\\\\\\5/2y * 2/5 = 20 * 2/ 5\\\\y = 8$

Talia gave her hairdresser a 20 percent tip, which amounted to $7. What was the price of the service before the tip?

mina [271]

I don't know if I did it right but here's my guess. I think you multiply 7 by 20% and that gives you 1.40 as a result. Compared to the other method I used (division), I'm pretty sure I'm right since the other result was 35. Doesn't make sense if the end amount was $7.

Find the five-number summary for the given data. Min Q1 Q2 Q3 Max

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

16 19 21 26 27 29 34 35 35 39 40 41 42 50 50 52 57 60 75 76 78 81 84

the data is already arranged in ascending order

Min=16

Max=84

The quartiles for the odd set of data is given by

$Qi=\dfrac{i(n+1)}{4}\ th\ term$

where n is the number of elements

Here, n=23

$Q1=\dfrac{(23+1)}{4}\ th\ term$

Q1=6 th term

Q1=29

Q2=12 th term

Q2=41

Q3=18 th term

Q3=60

Hence, five-number summary for the given data is:

Min Q1 Q2 Q3 Max

16 29 41 60 84

Which of the following options have the same value as 65% of 20

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Opt A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

65% is 100 based number, this means that 65% is the same as 65/100, or 0,65.

65% of 20 is obtained performing the following operation:

0,65 * 20

65*20/100

Any of them

Lim x-> vô cùng ((căn bậc ba 3 (3x^3+3x^2+x-1)) -(căn bậc 3 (3x^3-x^2+1)))

NNADVOKAT [17]

I believe the given limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \bigg(\sqrt[3]{3x^3+3x^2+x-1} - \sqrt[3]{3x^3-x^2+1}\bigg)$

Let

$a = 3x^3+3x^2+x-1 \text{ and }b = 3x^3-x^2+1$

Now rewrite the expression as a difference of cubes:

$a^{1/3}-b^{1/3} = \dfrac{\left(a^{1/3}-b^{1/3}\right)\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)}{\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)} \\\\ = \dfrac{a-b}{a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

Then

$a-b = (3x^3+3x^2+x-1) - (3x^3-x^2+1) \\\\ = 4x^2+x-2$

The limit is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

From each remaining cube root expression, remove the cubic terms:

$a^{2/3} = \left(3x^3+3x^2+x-1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

$(ab)^{1/3} = \left((3x^3+3x^2+x-1)(3x^3-x^2+1)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = \left(\left(x^3\right)^{1/3}\right)^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1x\right)\left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3}$

$b^{2/3} = \left(3x^3-x^2+1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

Now that we see each term in the denominator has a factor of x ², we can eliminate it :

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}} \\\\ = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{x^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}\right)}$

$=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4+\dfrac1x-\dfrac2{x^2}}{\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}}$

As x goes to infinity, each of the 1/x ⁿ terms converge to 0, leaving us with the overall limit,

$\displaystyle \frac{4+0-0}{(3+0+0-0)^{2/3} + (9+0-0+0+0-0)^{1/3} + (3-0+0)^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3^{2/3}+(3^2)^{1/3}+3^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3\cdot 3^{2/3}} = \boxed{\frac{4}{3^{5/3}}}$
