Answer:
<h3>36 and 12</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two positive integers be x and y.
If their product is 432, then
xy = 432 ......... 1
Also if the sum of the first plus three times the second is a minimum, then;
p(x) = x + 3y
From 1;
y = 432/x ..... 3
Substitute 3 into 2;
p(x) = x+3y
p(x)= x + 3(432/x)
p(x) = x + 1296/x
Since the expression is at minimum when dp(x)/dx = 0
dp/dx = 1 + (-1296)/x²
dp/dx = 1 -1296/x²
0 = 1 -1296/x²
0 = (x²-1296)/x²
cross multiply
0 = x²-1296
x² = 1296
x = √1296
x = 36
Since xy = 432
36y = 432
y = 432/36
y = 12
Hence the two positive numbers are 36 and 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, if 2 sides of a triangle are congruent to each other, than the angles opposite those sides are also congruent. We see by the markings on the triangle that WX and WY are congruent. That means that angle Y (which is across from WX) and angle X (which is across from WY) are the same measure. We can set them equal to each other because of this:
6y - 2 = 4x + 20
But we have a problem because we have 2 unknowns.
Let's try this out: the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem says that all the angles of a triangle have to add together to equal 180. That means that
52 + 6y - 2 + 4x + 20 = 180.
But we STILL have a problem with those 2 unknowns. BUT...
If angle X and angle Y are the same, then we don't need both 6y - 2 AND 4x + 20. We only need 1 of those multiplied by 2 because they're the same measure. Changing things up a bit to reflect that:
52 + 2(4x + 20) = 180 and
52 + 8x + 40 = 180 and
8x = 88 so
x = 11.
That means that
4(11) + 20 = 64 which is the measure of both angles X and Y.
Let's check:
64 + 64 + 52 better equal 180. And it does, so we're good.
The value of x is found this way:
4x + 20 = 64 and
4x = 44 so
x = 11 which we already knew. Now for y:
6y - 2 = 64 and
6y = 66 and
y = 11 also.
Answer:
60 ships.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x
One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x
One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x
Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2
Let surviving ships be represented by y
One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y
Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home
The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =
y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.
Hence
24 = 6/7y
24 = 6y/7
24 × 7/ 6
y = 168/6
y = 28
Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.
Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4
Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =
x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28
Collect like terms
x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30
x - (1/2x) = 30
1/2x = 30
x = 30 ÷ 1/2
x = 30 × 2
x = 60
Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
Okay so the equation for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^nt.
P<span> =</span><span> principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)</span>
r<span> = </span>annual rate of interest (as a decimal)
t<span> = </span>number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for.
A<span> =</span><span> amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.</span>
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
When interest is compounded continually (i.e. n --> ), the compound interest equation takes the form:<span>
P = Ce^<span>
rt
So you have to use this formula.
so C is 500, e is the In function on the calculator, r is 0.05 and t is 8
Substitute into the formula and you have your answer
Hope this helps</span></span>
Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation: 5 times 4 is 20 times 2 is 40, but when you divide by 1/2 you drop down to 20.
