Answer:

a. $12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c b. $ 7.26

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What equation can you use to find the cost c of a sandwich

Let c be the cost of a whole ham sandwich. Now, the total bill = cost of drinks + cost of half a ham sandwich  + cost of a whole ham sandwich.

total bill = $ 12.54, cost of drinks = $ 1.65, cost of half a ham sandwich = c/2 and cost of a whole ham sandwich = c. So,

$12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c

b. What is the value of c

We then solve for c in the equation $12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c

collecting like terms, we have

$12.54 - $ 1.65 = c/2 + c

$ 10.89 = 3c/2

multiplying through by 2, we have

$ 10.89 × 2 = 3c

$ 21.78 = 3c

dividing through by 3, we have

c = $ 21.78/3

= $ 7.26

At what point of the curve y = cosh(x does the tangent have slope 2?
Dahasolnce [82]
The hyperbolic cos (cosh) is given by
cosh (x) = (e^x + e^-x) / 2
The slope of a tangent line to a function at a point is given by the derivative of that function at that point.
d/dx [cosh(x)] = d/dx[(e^x + e^-x) / 2] = (e^x - e^-x) / 2 = sinh(x)
Given that the slope is 2, thus
sinh(x) = 2
x = sinh^-1 (2) = 1.444

Therefore, the curve of y = cosh(x) has a slope of 2 at point x = 1.44
