Answer:

Equation: $P = 10n$

$P = 40$ when n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Direct Variation: P ∝ n

When n = 15, P = 150

Required

Determine the equation

Her earnings if she sold 4 necklaces

P ∝ n

Convert variation to equation

$P = kn$

When P = 150, n = 15 (Substitute these values in the given equation)

$150 = k * 15$

Divide both sides by 15

$\frac{150}{15} = \frac{k * 15}{15}$

$10 = k\\k = 10$

Substitute k = 10 in $P = kn$

$P = 10 * n$

$P = 10n$ ------- Equation that relates P and n

When she sold 4 necklaces, n = 4

Substitute n = 4 in the formula above

$P = 10 * 4$

$P = 40$

Find all points on the circle (x^2) + (y^2) = 676 where the slope is 5/12

borishaifa [10]

Implicit defferentation

remember that dy/dx y= dy/dx

so
take derivitive of both sides
$2x+2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=0$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$
minus 2x both sides
$2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=-2x$
divide both sides by 2y
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-2x}{2y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-x}{y}$

when is the slope equal to $\frac{5}{12}$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{5}{12}=\frac{-x}{y}$
$5y=-12x$
$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
find where the circle and this line intersects

substitute $\frac{-12}{5}x$ for y
$x^2+(\frac{-12}{5}x)^2=676$
$x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{25}{25}x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{169}{25}x^2=676$
times both sides by $\frac{25}{169}$
$x^2=100$
sqrt both sides, take positive and negative roots
x=+/-10

sub back

$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
$y=(\frac{-12}{5})(10) \space\ or \space\ (\frac{-12}{5})(-10)$
$y=\frac{-120}{5} \space\ or \space\ \frac{120}{5}$
$y=-24 \space\ or \space\ 24$

the points are (10,-24) and (-10,24)

Answer:

$a_n = 8n+8$ represent the sequence 16,24,32,40...

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given is

16,24,32,40.

And the options given are

an=4n+1

an=8n+8

an=8n+16

We will check for all so as to find the correct expression.

In the given sequence the first term is 16,

i.e a1 = 16

1). We will check for an = 4n+1 whether the first term is 16 or not.

We will put the value of n as 1;

$a_1= 4\times1+1= 4+1=5$

With this option we get the first term as 5 but in the given sequence first term is 16.

Hence this option is Incorrect.

2). We will check for an = 8n+8 whether the first term is 16 or not.

We will put the value of n as 1;

$a_1= 8\times1+8= 8+8=16$

With this option we get the first term as 16 and in the given sequence also first term is 16.

Hence this option is correct.

3). We will check for an = 8n+16 whether the first term is 16 or not.

We will put the value of n as 1;

$a_1= 8\times1+16= 8+16=24$

With this option we get the first term as 24 but in the given sequence first term is 16.

Hence this option is Incorrect.

Hence we can say that an = 8n+8 represent the sequence 16,24,32,40...

5(2^(2x+7)) How do you solve this equation??

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Simplifying
0x + 7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40

Anything times zero is zero.
0x + 7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40

Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7
7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40

Reorder the terms:
7 + 5x = 30 + 40 + 2x

Combine like terms: 30 + 40 = 70
7 + 5x = 70 + 2x

Solving
7 + 5x = 70 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
7 + 5x + -2x = 70 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
7 + 3x = 70 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
7 + 3x = 70 + 0
7 + 3x = 70

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + 3x = 70 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + 3x = 70 + -7
3x = 70 + -7

Combine like terms: 70 + -7 = 63
3x = 63

Divide each side by '3'.
x = 21

Simplifying
x = 21
