Answer:

value of gold is $33.17

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

depth d = 3800 m = 3.8 km

area A  = 3.63 × 10^8 km²

average concentration = 5.8 × 10^−9 g/L

price of gold = $129.00 / troy oz

to find out

value of gold

solution

first we find volume that is

volume v = A× d

put here value

volume = 3.8 ×  3.63 × 10^8

volume =  13.794 × 10^{8} km³

volume = 137.94 × 10^{19} L

so mass =  5.8 × 10^{9} × 137.94 × 10^{19}

mass = 8 × 10^{12} g

mass = 0.2572 troy oz

here we know 1 troy oz = 31.1 g

and we know 1 troy oz = $129

so 0.2572 troy oz = 129 × 0.2572

0.2572 troy oz value is $33.17

value of gold is $33.17

The function
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

  • The smaller one is x = 3
  • and the larger one is x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A "critical number" is a function argument where the function has zero or undefined slope. A polynomial function never has undefined slope, so we're looking for the x-values where f'(x) = 0.

A graphing calculator easily shows the points that have zero slope. They are found at x = 3 and x = 6.

_____

Setting the derivative to zero is another way to find the points with zero slope:

  f'(x) = 6x^2 -54x +108 = 6(x^2 -9x +18) = 6(x-3)(x-6)

The derivative will be zero where the factors are zero, at x=3 and x=6.

The critical numbers are x=3 and x=6.

The quantity a varies directly with b and c and inversely with dThe quantity d is tripledWhich of the following must be true for
EastWind [94]

Answer:

We have the next relation:

A = (b*d)/c

because we have direct variation with b and d, but inversely variation with c.

Now, if we have 3d instead of d, we have:

A' = (b*(3d))/c

now, we want A' = A. If b,c, and d are the same in both equations, we have that:

3bd/c = b*d/c

this will only be true if b or/and d are equal to 0.

If d remains unchanged, and we can play with the other two variables we have:

3b'd/c' = bd/c

3b'/c' = b/c

from this we can took that: if c' = c, then b' = b/3, and if b = b', then c' = 3c.

Of course, there are other infinitely large possible combinations that are also a solution for this problem where neither b' = b or c' = c
