Answer:

6.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is of direct variation. We will use x as our answer. 8 is 2/3 of 12, so 4.5 should be 2/3 of x. We can now make an equation.

$4.5=\frac{2}{3} x\\4.5*\frac{3}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x*\frac{3}{2} \\6.75=x$

In order to solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.

* stands for multiplication

From solving our equation, we get 6.75. We can't forget the units, so the answer is 6.75 pounds.

Answer:

${ \rm{y = \frac{3 \sqrt{x} + 2x}{ {4x}^{2} } }} \\$

• We are gonna use the quotient rule

${ \boxed{ \bf{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ {\huge{v} } \frac{du}{dx} - { \huge{u}} \frac{dv}{dx} }{ {v}^{2} } }}} \\$

u is (3√x + 2x)
v is 4x²
du/dx is 3/2√x
dv/dx is 8x

• Therefore:

${ \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(4 {x}^{2})( \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{x} }) - (3 \sqrt{x} + 2x)(8x) }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(6 {x}^{2})( {x}^{ - \frac{1}{2} } ) - (24 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } + 16 {x}^{2} ) }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ 6 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - {24x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - {16x}^{2} }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ - 18 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } - 16 {x}^{2} }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} = - 2 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } (9 + 8 {x}^{ \frac{4}{3} } ) \div 16 {x}^{4} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \rm{ \: \: \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{8 \sqrt{ {x}^{ \frac{8}{3} }} + 9}{8x {}^{ \frac{8}{3} } } \: \: }}}}$
