Answer:

x= 1 1/4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem. Put the cost over the number of ounces.

$4 $1

---------- = ---------------

5 ounces x ounces

Using cross products

4x =1*5

Divide each side by 4

x =5/4

x= 1 1/4 ounces

If you do 5 divide by 4 then you can find what 1$ would be worth so ie.
5 divide by 4 is 1.25 which means that for 1$ you could buy 1.25 ounces

How to do question 1?Had no idea how to do both parts

givi [52]

$y=\dfrac{\ln x}{3x-6}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to $x$ :

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{3x-6}x-3\ln x}{(3x-6)^2}$

When $x=1$ , you have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{3-6}1-3\ln1}{(3-6)^2}=\dfrac{-3}9=-\dfrac13$

For part (b), we now assume that $x$ and $y$ are functions of an independent variable, which we'll call $t$ (for time). Now differentiating both sides with respect to $t$ , we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\frac{3x-6}x-3\ln x}{(3x-6)^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}$

where the chain rule is used on the right side. We're told that $y$ is decreasing at a constant rate of 0.1 units/second, which translates to $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-0.1$ . So when $x=1$ , you have

$-0.1=\dfrac{\frac{3-6}1-3\ln1}{(3-6)^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}$
$-0.1=-\dfrac13\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=0.3$

where the unit is again units/second.

Which angles are pairs of alternate exterior angles? Check all that apply.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

• 5 and 11

• 4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

"Alternate" means they are on opposite sides of the same line. "Exterior" means neither is between the lines being crossed.

___

In the given figure, pairs of alternate exterior angles are ...

(1, 7), (1, 15), (2, 16), (4, 6), (5, 11), (6, 12), (10, 16), (11, 13)

Of these, (4, 6) and (5, 11) are listed among the answer choices.

What is the solution to -3/7m < 21

Anika [276]

Simplify 3/7m to 3m/7

-3m/7 < 21

Multiply both sides by 7

-3m < 21 × 7

Simplify 21 ×7 to 147

-3m < 147

Divide both sides by -3

m > -147/3

Simplify 147/3 to 49
