Answer:

The value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e ≅0.607

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f the rate function f. Note that f(x) = k * x^2ln(1/x), where k is a positive constant (this is because f is proportional to the other expression). In order to compute the maximum of f in (0,1), we derivate f, using the product rule.

f'(x) = k*((x^2)'*ln(1/x) + x^2*(ln(1/x)')) = k*(2x\,ln(1/x)+x^2*(\frac{1}{1/x}*(-\frac{1}{x^2})))\\= k * (2x \, ln(1/x)-x)

We need to equalize f' to 0

  • k*(2x ln(1/x) - x) = 0 -------- We send k dividing to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) - x = 0 -------- Now we take the x and move it to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) = x -- Now, we send 2x dividing (note that x>0, so we can divide)
  • ln(1/x) = x/2x = 1/2 -------  we send the natural logarithm as exp
  • 1/x = e^(1/2)
  • x = 1/e^(1/2) = 1/√e ≅ 0.607

Thus, the value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e.

Answer:

7/20. or .035 as a decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 subtractions would cancel out so it would be -1/4+3/5. then you would times both equations by the opposite bottom number which would turn into -5/20+12/20 which is just -5+12 all under 20 which then when you add -5 and 12 it would be 7. so its 7/20

A glass of skim milk supplies 0.1 mg of iron, 8.5 g of protein, and 1 g of carbohydrates. A quarter pound of lean red meat provi
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

glasses of milk=4

quatar pounds servings of meat =5

two slices of whole grains bread =8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m= milk

r=meat

b=bread

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (1) by 85 and (2) by 1

8.5m+289r+187b=2,975 (4)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (5)

Subtract (5) from (4)

267r+177b=2,751 (6)

Recall,

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 8.5

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (7)

8.5m+170r+102b=1700 (8)

Subtract (7) from (8)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Recall,

267r+177b=2,751 (6) and

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Multiply (6) by 148 and (9) by 267

26196b=407,148 (10)

24564b=394,092 (11)

Subtract (11) from (10)

1,632b=13,056

Divide both sides by 1,632

b=13,056/1,632

b=8

Substitute the value of b in (9)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

148r+92(8)=1,476

148r+736=1,476

148r=1,476-736

148r=740

Divide both sides by 148

r=740/148

r= 5

Substitute the value of b and r in (1)

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

0.1m+3.4(5)+2.2(8)=35

0.1m+17+17.6=35

0.1m+34.6=35

0.1m=35-34.6

0.1m=0.4

Divide both sides by 0.1

m=0.4/0.1

m=4

4 glasses of milk, 5 quatar pounds servings of meat and 8 two slices of whole grains bread will supply the required nutrients.
