In a recent year a baseball team paid six times as much to their ace pitcher as they paid to their shortstop. If they paid $56 m

illion for the two salaries, what did they pay each player
What was the pitcher's salary? S
(millions of dollars)
What was the shortstop's salary?
(millions of dollars)

Answer:

pitcher: $48 million
shortstop: $8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of salaries can be written as ...

short : pitcher = 1 : 6

Then the fraction of the total that the shortstop received is ...

short : total = 1 : (1+6) = 1 : 7

The shortstop's salary was (1/7)×($56 million) = $8 million.

The pitcher's salary was 6 times that, so 6×($8 million) = $48 million.

The pitcher's salary was $48 million; the shortstop's, $8 million.

consider the function and then use calculus to answer the questions that follow 1 1/x 5/x^2 1/x^3 (a) Find the interval(s) where

boyakko [2]

Answer:

a) $X=((-15-\sqrt{201},(-15+\sqrt{201}),(0,\infty)$

b) $Y=(\infty,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201} ) ),(\frac{1}{2}()-15+\sqrt{201)},0 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Function

$f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x} +\frac{5}{x^2} +\frac{1}{x^3}$

Generally the differentiation of function f(x) is mathematically solved as

$f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x} +\frac{5}{x^2} +\frac{1}{x^3}$

$f(x)=\frac{x^3+x^2+5x+1}{x^2}$

Therefore

$f'(x)=\frac{x^2+10x+3}{x^4}$

Generally critical point is given as

$f'(x)=0$

$\frac{x^2+10x+3}{x^4}=0$

$x=-5 \pm\sqrt{22}$

Generally the maximum and minimum x value for critical point is mathematically solved as

$f'(-5 \pm\sqrt{22})$

Where

Maximum value of x

$f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})$

Minimum value of x

$f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})$

Therefore interval of increase is mathematically given by

$f'(-5 -\sqrt{22}),f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})$

$f(x)$

Therefore interval of decrease is mathematically given by

$(-\infty,-5 -\sqrt{22}),f'(-5 +\sqrt{22},0),(0,\infty)$

Generally the second differentiation of function f(x) is mathematically solved as

$f''(x)=\frac{2(x^2+15x+6)}{x^5}$

Generally the point of inflection is mathematically solved as

$f''(x)=0$

$x^2+15x+6=0$

Therefore inflection points is given as

$x=\frac{1}{2} (-15 \pm \sqrt{201}$

$f''(x)>0,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201})$

a)Generally the concave upward interval X is mathematically given as

$X=((-15-\sqrt{201},(-15+\sqrt{201}),(0,\infty)$

$f''(x)$

b)Generally the concave downward interval Y is mathematically given as

$Y=(\infty,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201} ) ),(\frac{1}{2}()-15+\sqrt{201)},0 )$

What is the area of this parallelogram? 10.35 cm² 12.5 cm² 20.25 cm² 30.6 cm² Parallelogram A B C D is composed of a square and

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

30.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is simply the sum of the areas of the component three shapes - the square and the two triangles.

Area of square = 4.5 cm × 4.5 cm = 20.25 cm²

Area of two triangles = 2 ×(1/2) × 2.3 cm × 4.5 cm = 10.35 cm²

Area of parallelogram = 20.25 cm² + 10.35 cm² = 30.6 cm²

X - tens digit
y - units digit

$x=2y\\
x+y=12\\\\
2y+y=12\\
