Y= 3 -x (1)

3x + 4y = 1 (2)

Substitute (1) for y in (2)

3x + 4(3 - x) = 1

Expand, simplify and then solve for x

3x + 12 - 4x = 1
3x - 4x = 1 -12
-x = -11

x = 11

Answer:

The required value of x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations are given to be :

y = 3 - x .......(1)

3x + 4y = 1 ......(2)

We need to find the value of x by solving these two given system of equations

So, To solve the given equations : Putting value of y from equation (1) into equation (2)

⇒ 3x + 4y = 1

⇒ 3x + 4(3 - x) = 1

⇒ 3x + 12 - 4x = 1

⇒ -x = 1 - 12

⇒ -x = -11

⇒ x = 11

Thus, The required value of x = 11

Jena and matt, working together, can mow the lawn in 44 hours. working alone, matt takes four times as long as jena. how long do

madam [21]

Let jena take x hours to mow the lawn on her own.- then we can write the equation

1/x + 1/4x = 1 / 44

44 + 11 = x

x = 55

x takes 55 hours to mow the lawn

Answer: $29.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate a tax of a dollar value, use this formula:

[original dollar value] * [tax percentage] = [tax]

Your original dollar value is $734.50, and your tax percentage is 4%.

734.5 * 0.04. Brett will pay $29.38 in tax.

$\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}h$

Employ a standard trick used in proving the chain rule:

$\dfrac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}h$

The limit of a product is the product of limits, i.e. we can write

$\displaystyle\left(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}\right)\cdot\left(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}h\right)$

The rightmost limit is an exercise in differentiating $\sqrt x$ using the definition, which you probably already know is $\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}$ .

For the leftmost limit, we make a substitution $y=\sqrt x$ . Now, if we make a slight change to $x$ by adding a small number $h$ , this propagates a similar small change in $y$ that we'll call $h'$ , so that we can set $y+h'=\sqrt{x+h}$ . Then as $h\to0$ , we see that it's also the case that $h'\to0$ (since we fix $y=\sqrt x$ ). So we can write the remaining limit as

$\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan\sqrt x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}=\lim_{h'\to0}\frac{\tan(y+h')-\tan y}{y+h'-y}=\lim_{h'\to0}\frac{\tan(y+h')-\tan y}{h'}$

which in turn is the derivative of $\tan y$ , another limit you probably already know how to compute. We'd end up with $\sec^2y$ , or $\sec^2\sqrt x$ .

So we find that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\tan\sqrt x}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\sec^2\sqrt x}{2\sqrt x}$
