Answer:

8 plantains

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost and number of plantains are in proportion

Number of plantains that can be bought for $ 4 be 'x'

48 : 24 :: x : 4

Product of means = product of extremes

24 * x = 48*4

       x = \frac{48*4}{24}

      x = 2 * 4

      x = 8

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahmed received a box of gifts. The box is a rectangular prism with the same height and width, and the length

is twice the width. The volume of the box is 3,456 in? What is the height of the box?

Volume of a Rectangular pyramid = Length × Width × Height

From the above question

Height = Width = x

Length = 2 × Width

Length = 2x

Volume = 3,456 cubic inches

Hence,

3,456 = 2x × x × x

3456 = 2x³

x³ = 3456/2

x³ = 1728

Cube root both sides

Cube root(x³) = cube root (1728 cubic Inches)

x = 12 inches

Therefore, the height is 12 inches

If 112 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $2.25 while tickets for children cost $and total receipts for the con
Brut [27]

Answer:

42 child and 70 adult

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of adult tickets

c = number of child tickets

a+c = 112

2.25a + 1.75c = 231

Solve the first equation for a

a = 112-c

Substitute this into the second equation

2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231

Distribute

252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231

Combine like terms

252 -.5c = 231

Subtract 252 from each side

252-252 -.5c = 231-252

-.5c = -21

Divide each side by -.5

-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5

c = 42

Now can find a

a = 112-c

a = 112-42

a = 70

Help with 5b please . thank you.​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.

We are first ask to differentiate this.

We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.

f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x

f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x

f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x

We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.

I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.

Let's look at the critical numbers.

f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.

Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.

1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0

Find common denominator:

1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0

(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0

A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.

Simplify numerator equal 0:

x^2=0

This happens at x=0.

This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.

So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.

Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.

So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.
