Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 240 bc if you divide 4 from 4:3 320/4 is 80 and use the 3 from 4:3 80x3 is 240

4/3 = 320/x
4x = 320*3
4x = 960
x = 240

Check:
320/240 divide both by 80
= 4/3 :)

How to differentiate y=x^n using the first principle. In this question, I cannot use the rule of differentiation. I have to do t
Zarrin [17]

By first principles, the derivative is

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(x+h)^n-x^n}h

Use the binomial theorem to expand the numerator:

(x+h)^n=\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n\binom nix^{n-i}h^i=\binom n0x^n+\binom n1x^{n-1}h+\cdots+\binom nnh^n

(x+h)^n=x^n+nx^{n-1}h+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h^2+\cdots+nxh^{n-1}+h^n

where

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

The first term is eliminated, and the limit is

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{nx^{n-1}h+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h^2+\cdots+nxh^{n-1}+h^n}h

A power of h in every term of the numerator cancels with h in the denominator:

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\left(nx^{n-1}+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h+\cdots+nxh^{n-2}+h^{n-1}\right)

Finally, each term containing h approaches 0 as h\to0, and the derivative is

y=x^n\implies y'=nx^{n-1}

Merle Fonda opened a new savings account. She deposited $40,000 at 10% compounded semiannually. At the start of the fourth year,
IrinaVladis [17]
Use compound interest formula  F=P(1+i)^n twice, one for each deposit and sum the two results.

For the P=$40,000 deposit,
i=10%/2=5%  (semi-annual)
number of periods (6 months), n = 6*2 = 12
Future value (at end of year 6),
F = P(1+i)^n = 40,000(1+0.05)^12 = $71834.253

For the P=20000, deposited at the START of the fourth year, which is the same as the end of the third year.
i=5% (semi-annual
n=2*(6-3), n = 6 
Future value (at end of year 6)
F=P(1+i)^n = 20000(1+0.05)^6 = 26801.913

Total amount after 6 years
= 71834.253 + 26801.913
=98636.17   (to the nearest cent.)

June bought three books. For the first book, she paid one half of her allowance plus $1 more. For the second book, she paid one
inysia [295]

Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd work backwards.

For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)

m = 1/2m + 3

1/2m = 3

m = 6

For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)

n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2

1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.

n = 1/2n + 2 + m

1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6

1/2n =8

n = 16

For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):

o - n = 1/2o + 1

o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1

1/2o = 17

o = 34

Check!

Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1

16 left

Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2

6 left

Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3

0 left
