Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x  for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin  Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)

[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month. 
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11

Determine whether each of these functions is O(x^2 ).
otez555 [7]

Answer:

  • (a)  no
  • (b)  yes
  • (c)  no
  • (d)  no

Step-by-step explanation:

"Of the order x^2" means the dominant behavior matches that of x^2 as x gets large. For polynomial functions, the dominant behavior is that of the highest-degree term.

For other functions, the dominant behavior will typically be governed in some other way. Here, the rate of growth of the x·log(x) function is determined by log(x), which has decreasing slope as x increases.

Only answer selection B has a highest-degree term of x^2, so only that one exhibits O(x^2) behavior.

Let dimes = d and quarters =q

D + q = 50

D= 50-q

0.10d + 0.25Q = 7.70

Replace d with 50-q:

0.10(50-q) + 0.25q = 7.70

Simplify:

5 -0.10q + 0.25q = 7.70

5 + 0.15q = 7.70

Subtract 5 from both sides:

0.15q = 2.70

Divide both sides by 0.15:

Q = 2.70 / 0.15

Q = 18

D = 50-18 = 32

There are 32 dimes and 18 quarters
