There are 5 large dogs and 3 small dogs

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "S" be the number of small dogs

Let "L" be the number of large dogs

<em><u>Given that There are a total of 8 small and large dogs</u></em>

So we can frame a equation as:

number of small dogs + number of large dogs = 8

S + L = 8 ------- eqn 1

<em><u>You realize there are 2 more large dogs than small dogs</u></em>

Number of large dogs = 2 + number of small dogs

L = 2 + S  -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "L" and "S"</u></em>

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

S + 2 + S = 8

2S + 2 = 8

2S = 6

<h3>S = 3</h3>

Substitute S = 3 in eqn 2

L = 2 + 3 = 5

<h3>L = 5</h3>

Thus there are 5 large dogs and 3 small dogs

29. Consider the diagram below. Solve for x
Flauer [41]

Answer:

x = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are same side interior angles and same side interior angles are supplementary, which means they add to 180

x+104 = 180

Subtract 104 from each side

x+104-104 = 180-104

x =76

0.8 is 10 times as great as what decimal
kondor19780726 [428]
When we say that 2y is 2 times greater than y, this means that if we divide 2y by 2 we will get the y.

Similarly, to know the decimal that is less that 0.8 by 10 times, simply divide 0.8 by 10 as follows:
decimal = 0.8 / 10 = 0.08

This means that 0.8 is 10 times larger than 0.08

Complete parts a through f below to find nonnegative numbers x and y that satisfy the given requirements. Give the optimum value
MArishka [77]

Answer:

  • y = 81-x
  • the domain of P(x) is [0, 81]
  • P is maximized at (x, y) = (54, 27)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • x plus y equals 81
  • x and y are non-negative

<u>Find</u>

  • P equals x squared y is maximized

<u>Solution</u>

a. Solve x plus y equals 81 for y.

  y equals 81 minus x

__

b. Substitute the result from part a into the equation P equals x squared y for the variable that is to be maximized.

  P equals x squared left parenthesis 81 minus x right parenthesis

__

c. Find the domain of the function P found in part b.

  left bracket 0 comma 81 right bracket

__

d. Find dP/dx. Solve the equation dP/dx = 0.

  P = 81x² -x³

  dP/dx = 162x -3x² = 3x(54 -x) = 0

The zero product rule tells us the solutions to this equation are x=0 and x=54, the values of x that make the factors be zero. x=0 is an extraneous solution for this problem so ...

  P is maximized at (x, y) = (54, 27).
