Answer:

D: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the rate of the faster jogger

Therefore (x-2) mph is the rate of the slower jogger

After 3 hours faster jogger will be 3x miles from the starting point

Whereas after the 3 hours slower jogger will be 3(x-2) miles from the starting point but in the opposite direction.

Since they are 30 miles apart 3x+3(x-2)=30

3x+3x-6=30

⇒ 3x+3x=30 +6

⇒ 6x=36

⇒ x=6

Therefore the rate of the faster jogger = 6 mph

Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
andrew11 [14]

Differentiating both sides of

x^2 + 2xy - y^2 + x = 20

with respect to x yields

2x + 2y + 2x \dfrac{dy}{dx} - 2y \dfrac{dy}{dx} + 1 = 0 \\\\ \implies (2x-2y) \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -1 - 2x - 2y \\\\ \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1 + 2x + 2y}{2(y-x)}

At the point (3, 4) (so x=3 and y=4), the tangent line has slope

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1 + 2\times3 + 2\times4}{2(4-3)} = \dfrac{15}2

Then the tangent line to (3, 4) has equation

y - 4 = \dfrac{15}2 (x - 3) \implies \boxed{y = \dfrac{15}2 x - \dfrac{37}2}

Shelly has $175 to shop for jeans and sweaters. Each pair of jeans costs $25 and each
Ksju [112]

Answer:

3 jeans and 5 sweaters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solid guess

However, this is a straight forward question.

175 she has to spend all of it.

To make it an even number you minus 25.

Than you have 150, minus another 50.

You have 5 more clothes to buy, and $100 left.

You use the rest to buy sweaters, therefore spending all the money and getting 8 clothing.
