Answer:

Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:

  1. Let us express the question in terms of equations

Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.

Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

Equation 2: a + b = 2000

From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)

    2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:

0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)

1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180

0.3b = 180

b = 600

Substitute in equation 3:

a = 2000 - 600

a = 1400

As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.

If 3x^2 + y^2 = 7 then evaluate d^2y/dx^2 when x = 1 and y = 2. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Use the hyphen symbol, -,
S_A_V [24]
Taking y=y(x) and differentiating both sides with respect to x yields

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[3x^2+y^2\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[7\bigg]\implies 6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0

Solving for the first derivative, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac{3x}y

Differentiating again gives

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[0\bigg]\implies 6+2\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2+2y\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=0

Solving for the second derivative, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=-\dfrac{3+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}y=-\dfrac{3+\frac{9x^2}{y^2}}y=-\dfrac{3y^2+9x^2}{y^3}

Now, when x=1 and y=2, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}\bigg|_{x=1,y=2}=-\dfrac{3\cdot2^2+9\cdot1^2}{2^3}=\dfrac{21}8\approx2.63

A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal length ones and the third 9in shorter than each of the other two. If cutt
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces consisting of two equal length ones. The third one is 9in shorter than each of the other two.

Let us first convert the length of the board to inches:

1 ft = 12 inches

13 ft = 12 * 13 = 156 inches

Let the length of each of the other two pieces be x.

Therefore, the length of the third piece is (x - 9)

Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the three pieces is equal to 156 inches. This means that:

x + x + (x - 9) = 156

x + x + x - 9 = 156

=> 3x = 156 + 9

3x = 165

x = 165 / 3 = 55 inches

Each of the first two pieces are 55 inches long.

The length of the third piece will be:

55 - 9 = 46 inches

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long.

4(2x+8)=10x+2-2x+30 what is x?
Anastaziya [24]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(2x+8)=10x+2−2x+30

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(2x+8)=10x+2−2x+30

(4)(2x)+(4)(8)=10x+2+−2x+30(Distribute)

8x+32=10x+2+−2x+30

8x+32=(10x+−2x)+(2+30)(Combine Like Terms)

8x+32=8x+32

8x+32=8x+32

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

8x+32−8x=8x+32−8x

32=32

Step 3: Subtract 32 from both sides.

32−32=32−32

0=0

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.
