Answer:

3/2x-2>5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two less than a number means we are subtracting 2, so we can write it into the equation as -2.

Since we dont know the value of x, we can just write 3/2 of x by multiplying 3/2 by x. So 3/2x. Also, since we are subtracting two from 3/2x, -2 comes after 3/2x.

Now, since it says that it is more than 5 1/2, we could use the greater than sign (>), to express that. So >5 1/2

Our final expression is 3/2x-2>5 1/2.

Hope this helps!

1.) The island shown has a population of 12,175 people. Find the population

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Population density = $148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached figure shows the dimension of an island.

Population density is equal to total population per unit land area.

Firstly we will find the area of the triangle using Pythagoras theorem as follows :

$H^2=B^2+P^2$

H is Hypotenuse, B is base and P is perpendicular

$B=\sqrt{H^2-P^2} \\\\B=\sqrt{(18.5)^2-(11.1)^2} \\\\B=14.8\ km$

Area of triangle is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times P\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 14.8\times 11.1\\\\A=82.14\ km^2$

$\text{Population density}=\dfrac{\text{Total population}}{\text{land area}}\\\\=\dfrac{12175 }{82.14}\\\\=148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$

Hence, the population density is $148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$ .

(a)5%)Let fx, y) = x^4 + y^4 - 4xy + 1. and classify each critical point Find all critical points of fx,y) as a local minimum, l

lara31 [8.8K]

$f(x,y)=x^4+y^4-4xy+1$

has critical points wherever the partial derivatives vanish:

$f_x=4x^3-4y=0\implies x^3=y$

$f_y=4y^3-4x=0\implies y^3=x$

Then

$x^3=y\implies x^9=x\implies x(x^8-1)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }x=\pm1$

If $x=0$ , then $y=0$ ; critical point at (0, 0)
If $x=1$ , then $y=1$ ; critical point at (1, 1)
If $x=-1$ , then $y=-1$ ; critical point at (-1, -1)

$f(x,y)$ has Hessian matrix

$H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}12x^2&-4\\-4&12y^2\end{bmatrix}$

with determinant

$\det H(x,y)=144x^2y^2-16$

At (0, 0), the Hessian determinant is -16, which indicates a saddle point.
At (1, 1), the determinant is 128, and $f_{xx}(1,1)=12$ , which indicates a local minimum.
At (-1, -1), the determinant is again 128, and $f_{xx}(-1,-1)=12$ , which indicates another local minimum.

Select all the correct answers.

evablogger [386]

Answer:
The 3rd and 4th option

Explanation:
A function only works when the input (x) only has one output (y).
The first, second, and the last option has the input has two or more outputs.

Fun Fact:
It is okay for the outputs to have more then in input, but not okay for the input to have more then one output.

I hope this help and have a nice day :)
