Answer:

The book costs $2 and the pencil also costs $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easy to get the value of the book and the pencil if we use<em> algebraic expressions.</em>

Let x be the cost of the book and let y be the cost of the pencil.

The sum of 2 books and a pencil is $6.00

  • 2x + y = $6.00

The difference of cost between 3 books and 2 pencils is $2.00.

  • 3x - 2y = $2.00

Step 1: Let's get the value of y first.

2x + y = 6

y = 6 - 2x

Step 2: Let's substitute the value of y and look for the value of x.

3x - 2y = $2.00

3x - 2(6-2x) = 2

3x - 12 + 4x = 2

7x = 12 + 2

7x = 14

x = \frac{14}{7}

x = $2 (this is the cost of the book)

Step 3: Let's substitute the value of x and look for the value of y.

2x + y = 6

2 (2) + y = 6

4 + y = 6

y = 6 - 4

y = $2 (this is the cost of the pencil)

Let's check:

2x + y = $6

2(2) + 2 = 6

4 + 2 = 6

6 = 6<em> (CORRECT)</em>

<em></em>

PLEASE HELP , WILL GIVE A BRAINLY. What is the domain of the function?
mina [271]

Answer: I believe it is a. Sorry if I am incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Functions assign outputs to inputs. The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs for the function. For example, the domain of f(x)=x² is all real numbers, and the domain of g(x)=1/x is all real numbers except for x=0.

Is the graph of y = sin(x^4) increasing or decreasing when x = 10? Is it concave up or concave down?
Tanzania [10]
y=\sin(x^4)
\implies y'=4x^3\cos(x^4)
\implies y'=12x^2\cos(x^4)-16x^6\sin(x^4)

At x=10, you have

y'(10)=4000\cos(10^4)

The trick to finding out the sign of this is to figure out between which multiples of \dfrac\pi2 the value of 10^4 lies.

We know that \cos x>0 whenever -\dfrac\pi2+2n\pi, and that \cos x whenever \dfrac\pi2+2n\pi, where n\in\mathbb Z.

We have

10^4=\dfrac{k\pi}2\implies k=\dfrac{2\times10^4}\pi\approx6366.2

which is to say that \dfrac{6366\pi}2, an interval that is equivalent modulo 2\pi to the interval \left(\pi,\dfrac{3\pi}2\right).

So what we know is that 10^4 corresponds to the measure of an angle that lies in the third quadrant, where both cosine and sine are negative.

This means y'(10), so y is decreasing when x=10.

Now, the second derivative has the value

y'=12\times10^2\cos(10^4)-16\times10^6\sin(10^4)

Both \cos(10^4) and \sin(10^4) are negative, so we're essentially computing the sum of a negative number and a positive number. Given that \sin x>\cos x for \pi, and \cos x>\sin x for \dfrac{5\pi}4, we can use a similar argument to establish in which half of the third quadrant the angle 10^4 lies. You'll find that the sine term is much larger, so that the second derivative is positive, which means y is concave up when x=10.
