Michael has 1.85 in dimes and nickels.He has a total of 25 coins.how many of each does he have

1 answer:

5 0

D+n=25 subtract d from both sides *(if your wondering what d and n are it stands for Dimes and Nickels)* n=25-d
0.10d+0.05= 1.85
0.10d+0.05(25-d)= 1.85
0.10d+1.25-0.05d= 1.85
0.05d = 0.60
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My answer: He has 12 dimes (d=12) and 25-12=13 so 13 nickels.. Hope this helps! :)

F(x) = lnx/x

My name is Ann [436]

$f(x) = \frac{lnx}{x}$

(a) $f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]$
Using the quotient rule:
$f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - lnx}{x^{2}}$
$f'(x) = \frac{1 - lnx}{x^{2}}$

For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
$\frac{1 - lnx}{x} = 0$
$lnx = 1, x = e$

(b) <em>Deduce:
</em> $e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0$
<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
$\frac{ln(e)}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}$
$\frac{1}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}$ , since ln(e) is simply equal to 1

Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
$\frac{x}{e} \geq lnx$
$x \geq elnx$
$x \geq ln(x^{e})$

Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
$e^{x} \geq e^{ln(x^{e}})$
$e^{x} \geq x^{e}$ , as required.
