Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

<em>Using first principle, this gives:</em>

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

<em>Hence, the smallest sum is 2</em>

The food bank has 1774.4 oz of chicken.If 12.6 oz is 2 servings,how many servings of chicken does this provide?

diamong [38]

Answer:

281 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table attached,

We will apply the unitary method to solve this problem.

∵ 12.6 oz of chicken represents number of servings = 2

∴ 1 oz of chicken will represents number of servings = $\frac{2}{12.6}$

∴ 1774.4 oz of chicken will make the total servings = $\frac{2}{12.6}\times 1774.4$

= 281.65

≈ 281 servings

Therefore, total number of servings provided = 281

Two in-line skaters, Nell and Kristin, start from the same point and skate in the same direction. Nell skates at 16 miles per ho

Paha777 [63]

First, we count how far reached the Nell:
3,5 * 16 = 56 miles

Secondly, we count how far reached the Kristin:
3,5 * 18 = 63 miles

Now we expect the difference in the distance between them:
63 - 56 = 7 miles

The results that Kristin about seven miles driven more than Nell.

Answer: 22%, 0.22, 11/50

Step-by-step explanation:

As a percent, 44/200 × 100 =

0.22 × 100

= 22%

As a decimal, divide 44 by 200 using a calculator; 44÷200 = 0.22

As a fraction in the simplest form, 44/200, we find the greatest common factor for the numerator and denominator, which is 4, divide 4 by numerator = 11

Divide 4 by denominator = 50

44/200 as a fraction = 11/50
