By coincidence, Kimberly's Paint Supplies sold equal quantities of two paint colors yesterday: yellow and blue. All yellow paint

comes in 9-liter containers while blue paint is sold in 12-liter containers. What is the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold?

Answer:

36 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the least common multiple method

Find and list multiples of the liter the blue paint comes in the liters the yellow paint comes in. We find the first common multiple is found. This is the least common multiple.

Multiples of 9:

9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54

Multiples of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

Therefore,

LCM(9, 12) = 36

Hence, the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold is 36 liters

To determine the ________ of an event, you can use the formula P(E) = n(E)/n(S), where n(E) is the number of outcomes in the eve
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of an event is how likely that event is to happen. And it is denoted by letter P and calculated by the formula below:

P(E) = number of possible outcome/number of the total event sample

P(E) = n(E) / n(S)

At what point does the curve have maximum curvature? y = 9 ln(x) (x, y) =
Andrews [41]

y = 9ln(x) 
<span>y' = 9x^-1 =9/x</span>
y'' = -9x^-2 =-9/x^2

curvature k = |y''| / (1 + (y')^2)^(3/2) 

<span>= |-9/x^2| / (1 + (9/x)^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / (1 + 81/x^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / [(1/x^3) (x^2 + 81)^(3/2)] 
= 9x(x^2 + 81)^(-3/2). 

To maximize the curvature, </span>

we find where k' = 0. <span>
k' = 9 * (x^2 + 81)^(-3/2) + 9x * -3x(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) 
...= 9(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) [(x^2 + 81) - 3x^2] 
...= 9(81 - 2x^2)/(x^2 + 81)^(5/2) 

Setting k' = 0 yields x = ±9/√2. 

Since k' < 0 for x < -9/√2 and k' > 0 for x > -9/√2 (and less than 9/√2), 
we have a minimum at x = -9/√2. 

Since k' > 0 for x < 9/√2 (and greater than 9/√2) and k' < 0 for x > 9/√2, 
we have a maximum at x = 9/√2. </span>

x=9/√2=6.36

<span>y=9 ln(x)=9ln(6.36)=16.66</span>  

the answer is
(x,y)=(6.36,16.66)
