What is 2 gallons minus 5 quarts

MariettaO [177]

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.
In two gallons would be 8 quarts.

2 gallons - 5 quarts = 8 quarts - 5 quarts = 3 quarts.

Note: 3 quarts is 3/4 or .75 of a gallon.

Find gradient xe^y + 4 ln y = x² at (1, 1)

cricket20 [7]

$xe^y+4\ln y=x^2$

Differentiate both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x).

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y+4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\mathrm d(4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x)}{\mathrm dx}e^y+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$e^y+xe^y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

Solve for dy/dx :

$e^y+\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-e^y$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x-e^y}{xe^y+\frac4y}$

If y ≠ 0, we can write

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2xy-ye^y}{xye^y+4}$

At the point (1, 1), the derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=1,y=1}=\boxed{\dfrac{2-e}{e+4}}$

Graph the solution set of this inequality: 5x − 4y > 20.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality 5x − 4y > 20 for y, as follows: Subtract 5x from both sides, obtaining:

-4y > 20 - 5x;

Then divide all terms by -4:

y < -5 +(5/4)x, where the direction of the inequality sign has been reversed because of division by a negative quantity.

Temporarily replace the < symbol with = obtaining y = -5 +(5/4)x. Now choose at least three x values and find the corresponding y values. For example:

x y = -5 +(5/4)x

0 -5

4 0

-8 -15

Now plot these three points (0, -5), (4, 0) and (-8, -15). Draw a dashed line through them. Because of the < symbol in y < -5 +(5/4)x, shade the area underneath the dashed line.

Laura made 45 hats. Laura made 5 times as many hats as Carlos, Let h be the number of hats that Carlos made.

Anestetic [448]

45 = 5h. To find h, divide each side by 5.

9 = h. To ensure we have the correct answer, plug 9 into our original equation.

45 = 5(9)

45 = 45

Carlos made 9 hats.
