Answer:

210 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Arthur ⇒ a = 3 k
  • Yusuf ⇒  y = 5k
  • Bill ⇒      b = 6k

<u>Yusuf gave </u><u>x</u><u> stamps to Arthur, then:</u>

  • y = 5k -x
  • a = 3k + x

<u>Bill gave Arthur 42 stamps more than Yusuf gave to Arthur, then:</u>

  • b = 6k - (x+42)
  • a = 3k + x + x + 42

<u>Now all 3 have same amount of stamps:</u>

  • 5k -x = 6k - x - 42 = 3k + 2x + 42

<u>From the first part of the equation we get:</u>

  • 6k - 5k = 42 + x - x
  • k = 42

<u>How many stamps did Yusuf have at first?</u>

  • y = 5k
  • y =5*42
  • y = 210 stamps

Yusuf had 210 stamps at first

Let f(x) = xe^-x+ ce^-x, where c is a positive constant. For what positive value of c does f have an absolute
Illusion [34]

Answer:

c=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute maximum of a continuous function f(x) is where f'(x)=0. Therefore, we must differentiate the function and then set x=-5 and f'(x)=0 to determine the value of c:

f(x)=xe^{-x}+ce^{-x}

f'(x)=-xe^{-x}+e^{-x}-ce^{-x}

0=-(-5)e^{-(-5)}+e^{-(-5)}-ce^{-(-5)}

0=5e^{5}+e^{5}-ce^{5}

0=e^5(5+1-c)

0=6-c

c=6

Therefore, when c=6, the absolute maximum of the function is x=-5.

I've attached a graph to help you visually see this.

From complete sets of playing cards (32 cards) we pulled out one card. 
AVprozaik [17]
The probability of pulling an ace is 4 out of 32 or 4/32. There are four aces in a complete set of playing cards. If you need me to simplify, it would be 1 out of 8, or 1/8. I hope this is helpful!

I need help with these multiplications
Damm [24]
This is really hard to explain but i will try. The easiest one i see is 24 x 12, a good way to do it is by adding 12 to its self 24 times. the answer to that is 288.
