Answer:

Let get large number is x and small number as y.

sum of two numbers is 51.(small number + large number = 51)

ie. x +y =51 --------(1)

The smaller number is 17 less than the larger number.

x-y = 17 ------------(2)

(1) +(2);

(x + y ) + (x - y) = 51 +17

2x = 68

x=34

Substituted for (1);

x + y =51

34 + y =51

y= 51  -34

y= 17

Answer:

smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number and y be the larger nuber

x + y = 51 --(1)

y - 17 = x  --(2)

Sub (2) into (1)

y - 17 + y = 51

y = 34

Put y = 34 into (2)

34 - 17 = x

x = 17

Ans: smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

Demand The demand function for the product is given by
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

(a) 2996 units

(b) 1897 units

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 10,000(1 - 3/3 + e^-0.001x)

(a) p = $500

500 = 10,000(1 - 1 + e^-0.001x)

500/10,000 = e^-0.001x

e^-0.001x = 0.05

-0.001x = In 0.05 = -2.996

x = -2.996/-0.001 = 2996 units

(b) p = $1500

1500 = 10,000(1 - 3/3 + e^-0.001x)

1500/10,000 = (1 - 1 + e^-0.001x)

0.15 = e^-0.001x

-0.001x = In 0.15 = -1.897

x = -1.897/-0.001 = 1897 units

David recorded his finishing time, in seconds, for each time he ran the 100 m race during one track season. What was the median
Vikentia [17]
The median is 12.1 because it is the center number in the sequence. This only applies if the numbers are in order from least to greatest, and also if there are a even number of numbers in the sequence you must take the average of the two center ones because there is no center one.
