She needs 1/6 almonds , 1/3 walnuts and 1/2 of raisins as a fraction of total trail mix.
So she spends $2.5 on almonds. $5 on walnuts and $10 on raisins (total $15)

so that is 2.5/12 = 0.208 pounds almonds
5 / 10.5 = 0.476 pound walnuts
10/4 = 2.5 pounds raisins

so total wieght of the trail mix is 3.19 pounds

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function in the question:

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)$

We have to derivate the given function.

Formula:

$\dfrac{d(\ln x)}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d(x^n)}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$

The derivation takes place in the following manner

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)\\\\\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \displaystyle\frac{d(\ln(3x^2))}{dx}\\\\=\frac{1}{3x^2}\times \frac{d(3x^2)}{dx}\\\\= \frac{1}{3x^2}\times (6x)\\\\=\frac{6x}{3x^2}\\\\=\frac{2}{x}$

$\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

#Taking the right triangle ACD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 60\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x}\\\\y=x \ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5$

#Taking the right triangle ABD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 40\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x+20}\\\\y=(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5$

#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;

$(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5\\\\(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree\\\\0.8391x+16.7820=1.7321x\\\\x=18.7939$
