The cost of one rose bush is $12 and cost of one geranium is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one rose = x

Cost of one geranium = y

According to given statement;

3x+12y=84    Eqn 1

8x+6y=120    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(8x+6y=120)\\16x+12y=240\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(16x+12y)-(3x+12y)=240-84\\16x+12y-3x-12y=156\\13x=156\\

Dividing both sides by 13

\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{156}{13}\\x=12

Putting x=12 in Eqn 1

3(12)+12y=84\\36+12y=84\\12y=84-36\\12y=48

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{48}{12}\\y=4

The cost of one rose bush is $12 and cost of one geranium is $4.

Answer:

  f'(x) = (-6x² -14x -23)/(x² +5x +2)²

  f''(x) = (12x³ +42x² +138x +202)/(x² +5x +2)³

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable derivative formula is ...

  d(u/v) = (v·du -u·dv)/v²

__

  f'(x) = ((-x² -5x -2)(4x +4) -(2x² +4x -3)(-2x -5))/(-x² -5x -2)²

  f'(x) = (-4x³ -24x²-28x -8 +4x³ +18x² +14x -15)/(x² +5x +2)²

  f'(x) = (-6x² -14x -23)/(x² +5x +2)²

__

Similarly, the second derivative is the derivative of f'(x).

  f''(x) = ((x² +5x +2)²(-12x -14) -(-6x² -14x -23)(2(x² +5x +2)(2x +5)))/(x² +5x +2)⁴

  f''(x) = ((x² +5x +2)(-12x -14) +2(6x² +14x +23)(2x +5))/(x² +5x +2)³

  f''(x) = (12x³ +42x² +138x +202)/(x² +5x +2)³
