Answer:

$15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = price of one orchid plant

8 orchids would cost 8 x a = 8a

12 orchids would cost 12 x a = 12a

Let b = price of one lily plant

12 lilies would cost 12 x b = 12b

8 lilies would cost 8 x b = 8b

8a + 12b = 362 -- eqn 1

12a + 8b = 388 -- eqn 2

to solve, multiply equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 12

64a + 96b = 2896 equation 3

144a + 96b = 4656 equation 4

substract equation 4 from 3

80a = 1760

a = $22

Substitute for a in eqn 1 and solve for b

8(22) + 12b = 362

b = $15.5

How do I divide pi by 1000?

Leokris [45]

Just as you would do it with any other number.

Write out some of it, then move the decimal point 3 places this way <=== .

Some of pi : 3.14159

Divide by 1,000 : 0.00314159

Harman [31]

Answer:

See below for proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

First derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.4 cm}\underline{Chain Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $f(g(x))$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=f'(g(x))\:g'(x)$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Differentiating $x^n$}\\\\If $y=x^n$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=xn^{n-1}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\begin{aligned} y_1=\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{2x}{2\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right) \\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(\dfrac{x+\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\end{aligned}$

Second derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Product Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $y=uv$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=u\dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}+v\dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\textsf{Let }u=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}=-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}$

$\textsf{Let }v=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\begin{aligned}y_2=\dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}&=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\&=\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\\\\ &=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)\\\\\end{aligned}$

$= \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\right)\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)$

Proof

$(x^2+1)y_2+xy_1-m^2y$

$= (x^2+1) \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left[m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}-m^2\right]$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left[0]$

$= 0$

Simplify each of the following powers of i. i^99=

Scorpion4ik [409]

I= sqrt (-1)

If the power is
- even then the value could be -1 or 1
-odd then the value could be -i or i

99 is odd so now is
-i if (99+1)/2 is even or is
i is (99+1)/2 is odd

Now check (99+1)/2= 100/2= 50,
50 is even so
i^99 = -i
