Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Half of baseball card got wet and was ruined

Number of baseball cards bought has replacement for the ruined cards = 20

Total number of baseball cards now = 50

The initial number of baseball cards =?

Let the initial number = y

Number that hit ruined = half of initial = y/2

Hence,

y - y/2 + 20 = 50

y/2 + 20 = 50

y/2 = 50 - 20

y/ 2 = 30

y = 30 * 2

y = 60

Hence, he started with 60 baseball cards.

Solve, using linear combination.
alexandr1967 [171]
P - q = 8.....multiply by -1
2p - q = 19
----------------
-p + q = -8 (result of multiplying by -1)
2p - q = 19
---------------add
p = 11

now we sub 11 in for p in either of the original equations to find q
p - q = 8
11 - q = 8
11 - 8 = q
3 = q

so ur solution is (11,3)

Let f be the function defined by f(x) = 3x^5-5x^3+2
sveticcg [70]
(a) When f is increasing the derivative of f is positive.

    f'(x) = 15x^4 - 15x^2 > 0
            15x^2(x^2 - 1)> 0
               x^2 - 1    > 0 (The inequality doesn't flip sign since x^2 is positive)
               x^2 > 1
    Then f is increasing when x < -1 and x > 1.

(b) The f is concave upward when f''(x) > 0.
    f''(x) = 60x^3 - 30x > 0
           30x(2x^2 - 1) > 0
             x(2x^2 - 1) > 0
            x(x^2 - 1/2) > 0
x(x - 1/sqrt(2))(x + 1/sqrt(2)) > 0

    There are four regions here. We will check if f''(x) > 0.
    x < -1/sqrt(2):     f''(-1) = -30 < 0
    -1/sqrt(2) < x < 0: f''(-0.5) = 7.5 > 0
    0 < x < 1/sqrt(2):  f''(0.5) = -7.5 < 0
    x > 1/sqrt(2):      f''(1) = 30 > 0

    Thus, f''(x) > 0 at -1/sqrt(2) < x < 0 and x > 1/sqrt(2).
    Therefore, f is concave upward at -1/sqrt(2) < x < 0 and x > 1/sqrt(2).

(c) The horizontal tangents of f are at the points where f'(x) = 0
    15x^2(x^2 - 1) = 0
    x^2 = 1
    x = -1 or x = 1
    f(-1) = 3(-1)^5 - 5(-1)^3 + 2 = 4
    f(1) = 3(1)^5 - 5(1)^3 + 2 = 0

    Therefore, the tangent lines are y = 4 and y = 0.
