$12.6 -- 25% of 12.6 is exactly $3.15
I did this by taking 3.15 / 0.25
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary will have saved $87.50
$17.50 per three weeks
x per 15 weeks
17.50 x 5 = $87.50
Xz+y+1=z. given
y+1=z-xz. subtraction property of equality
y+1=z(1-x) distributive property of multiplication over addition/factoring
(1+y)/(1-x) = z division property of required, given x≠1
You could do the question the way it is written, but it is far easier to bring the negative power up to the numerator.
y= x^2 - 3. The derivative of that is
dy/dx = 2x The three is a constant and is always dropped when a derivative is taken
d(-3)/dx = 0
If you are a purist and want to solve the question the way it is written, you could do it this way.
dy/dx = d(1)/dx x^-2 - d(x^-2)/dx * 1
======================
(x^-2)^2
dy/dx = - (-2 x^ - 3) / x^-4
dy/dx = 2 x^-3 * x^4
dy/dx = 2 x^(-3 + 4)
dy/dx = 2x ^ 1
dy/dx = 2x <<<<< answer
