Answer:

$(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function $f(x) = x-\frac{1}{3}$ and we have the function $g(x) = 3x + 1$ . We want to find g(x) composed with f(x)

Then, the function (f o g)(x) is the same since f(g(x))

That is, you must do x = g(x) and then enter g(x) into the function f(x).

$f(g(x)) = (g(x)) -\frac{1}{3}$

$f(g(x)) = (3x + 1) -\frac{1}{3}$

Simplifying, we obtain:

$(f o g)(x) = 3x + 1 -\frac{1}{3}\\\\(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}$

Finally. The composite function is:

$(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}$

Given P = x^0.3 y^0.7 is the chicken lay eggs production function, where P is the number of eggs lay, x is the number of workers

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Part A)

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

The daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle P=x^{\frac{3}{10}}y^{\frac{7}{10}}$

Where P is the number of eggs laid, x is the number of workers, and y is the daily operating budget (assuming in US dollars $).

We want to find dy/dx.

So, let’s find our equation in terms of x. We can raise both sides to 10/7. Hence:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=\Big(x^\frac{3}{10}y^\frac{7}{10}\Big)^\frac{10}{7}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=x^\frac{3}{7}y$

Divide both sides by the x term to acquire:

$\displaystyle y=P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}$

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\Big[P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}\Big]$

Apply power rule. Note that P is simply a constant. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=P^\frac{10}{7}(-\frac{3}{7})(x^{-\frac{10}{7}})$

Simplify. Hence, our derivative is:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

We want to evaluate the derivative when x is 30 and when y is $10,000.

First, we will need to find P. Our original equations tells us that:

$P=x^{0.3}y^{0.7}$

Hence, at x = 30 and at y = 10,000, P is:

$P=(30)^{0.3}(10000)^{0.7}$

Therefore, for our derivative, we will have:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}\Big(30^{0.3}(10000^{0.7})\Big)^\frac{10}{7}\Big(30^{-\frac{10}{7}}\Big)$

Use a calculator. So:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1000}{7}=-142.857142...\approx-143$

Our derivative is given by dy/dx. So, it represents the change in the daily operating cost over the change in the number of workers.

So, when there are 30 workers with a daily operating cost of $10,000 producing a total of about 1750 eggs, the daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 1 4 hours. How much does Rachel earn per hour?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $6 \frac{1}{4}$ hours.

i.e

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $\frac{25}{4}$ hours.

Now calculate earning of Rachel for 1 hour .

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{Total\ earning}{Total\ time}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25}{\frac{25}{4}}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25\times 4}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{341}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \$ 13.64$

Therefore Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .
